PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 27, 2023
The town announced Tuesday that it has asked Cumberland County Superior Court to order the restoration of two properties on Sebago Lake at the center of a series of shoreland zoning violations involving Auburn businessman Donald Buteau. In October 2021, the shoreland in front of the homes at 18 Fernwood Road and 28 Whitetail Lane was transformed in two weeks from its natural landscape of towering trees, native vegetation and rocky shore to an open landscape of at least 400 linear feet of riprap — rock — lining the shore. The town and Maine DEP investigated and discovered no permits were filed for the work.
