Julie Rosenbach City of South Portland South Portland, ME041063699 Email ID:jrosenbach@southportland.org Phone No. :207-347-4148	10/5/2018	Request for revisions to Safe Harbor planning standards as appropriate to case # 2011-00138.	Safe Harbor standrds letter to PUC 10-5-18.pdf
Michael Blake Dr. 3 Payeur Circle Email ID: michaelsblake@gmail.com Phone No.: 207-899-3613	8/18/2018	I strenuously object to increasing the size of the power line that is adjacent to my property. As a lay person, it has taken me time to find someone to translate the proposal. I was also out of town for a few weeks when the petition deadline was enacted. I am greatly concerned that it will lower the value of my property, which is a significant investment for me and my family. I strongly encourage you to find alternative routes. Thank you.
Dale Spugnardi 189 Middle Rd Cumberland, ME 04021 Email ID: dungston@aol.com Phone No.: (207) 650-2746	8/17/2018	Like so many others affected by this proposal, I was never notified. The transmission line lies within 100 feet of my home. What affect will the increase in electrical voltage have on my health and/or property value? Seems that if a Town can require private developers to put power lines under ground, certainly CMP should be required to do the same in an instance such as this.
Shirley Storey-King 28 Shirley Lane Cumberland, ME04021 Email ID:sstoreyking@gmail.com Phone No. :207-415-1128	8/11/2018	Links to item numbers are not available. Specifically, I would like to see items #330-339.
Alvas and Denise Rand 9 Aster Lane Falmouth, Maine Email ID: budrand1@gmail.com Phone No.: 207-797-8312	7/15/2018	We realize that the deadline to intervene was July 12th, however, we have been unable to obtain any information from CMP or the MPUC on the impact of this project to our property. We have called the CMP Brightline (866-426-7275) every day since we received our mailing notification from CMP on July 2nd and have left numerous messages requesting information. We have never received a call back! Additionally, we have also reached out to Paula Cyr at the MPUC (207-287-3831) requesting assistance in contacting CMP....she too has never returned our call. At this point, we have no choice but to file this petition to intervene. It's our understanding that CMP had an obligation to notify all landowners along the proposed transmission line....I believe they have not met this requirement in our Falmouth neighborhood.
Jeffrey Thomas 8 Mayflower Road Falmouth, ME 04105 Email ID: j64thomas@gmail.com Phone No.: 207-807-8294	7/13/2018	I am petitioning to intervene as I was not informed of the impact of this project on my own property until after the deadline had passed. I am a property owner adjacent to the land and have concern for the adverse impacts on my property. I was not notified and the notification and the final plan on the MPUC website gave no details about the transmission line upgrade/change -- no mention of 90' poles and power lines well above the current poles. A normal citizen would have not have an understanding of what these changes would mean or what the impact would be to their property. I am trying to learn more about this project and how it will negatively affect my neighborhood and my property values.
Kate Benjamin 12 Aster Ln Falmouth, ME04105 Email ID:kate.benjamin@outlook.com Phone No. :646-369-0152	7/13/2018	My property line is adjacent to the transmission lines under consideration for upgrading to 90'. Like many of my neighbors, my family was unaware this was happening. Although CMP was directed to send a copy of notification to the landowners along the proposed route, there was no notification left, no paperwork sent, no deadlines shared. Like other concerned neighbors, I worry about the impact of these bigger transmission lines on not only my property value, but also my health and the health of my children. I do not support this initiative and I'm deeply disappointed with how CMP has neglected to be forthright with the information that will so severely impact my family's quality of life. I urge the MPUC to reconsider this project. Concerned citizen, Kate Benjamin
Stephen Keeley n/a 10 Stapleford Drive, Falmouth maine 04105 Email ID: spkeeley55@gmail.com Phone No.: 207-756-2527	7/13/2018	I was totally unaware of the impact of this project until today, one day after the deadline to respond. The notification did not include the direct impact of my property. The notification and even the final plan on the MPUC website gave no details as to which lines were being upgraded and what that actually looked like. No mention of 90 foot poles was mentioned, no mention of additional lines. I do not have any engineering knowledge to decipher the impact this is going to have on my property. As such this should be a valid reason for this late file of petition to intervene. Sincerely, Stephen Keeley
John A. Hobson, Esq. Perkins Thompson PA One Canal Plaza, PO Box 426, Portland, ME 04112 Email ID: jhobson@perkinsthompson.com Phone No.: 207-774-2635	7/11/2018	John A. Hobson, Esq. of Perkins Thompson represents James Read, an abutter in this case who desires to file a petition to intervene. Kindly place James Read on your list so that we may register John Hobson as an online user in this case to file the petition. Thank you.
Harold Stoddard MR 24 Smithwood Drive North Yarmouth, ME04097 Email ID:Hstodd67@aol.com Phone No. :207-650-0782	7/6/2018	I have some questions on the upgrades to line #102 going from the North Yarmouth transfer station to the Elm St transfer station. ~what is the kV on the 102 line at this time? ~What would be the locations of the new transformers along this corridor? ~Would the 34.5 kV line require a wider corridor then the current one? ~The information that is available to read is long and confusing, would the new line be 34.5 kV or the 64 kV line? ~Would the higher voltage interfere with Cell, Satellite or any other service that now work? ~Would the higher voltage produce a sound from the wires? ~Are there and maps showing the upgrades, sizes of lines or transformer locations?
