MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,June 25,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 14. LA18-55 PAUL VOGSTROM OB/O WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY,2709 WALTERS <br /> PORT LANE,SKETCH PLAN—Continued <br /> going up and down Pence have beat up the road so much that it is practically unusable. Bakke stated the <br /> Habermans were friends of his and it angers him considerably to have someone disparage them who has <br /> not looked at that area that was characterized as a swamp and a dump for the last 40 years. <br /> Seals commented she can appreciate what he is saying and that it is duly noted about speaking for other <br /> people's motivations. <br /> Eric Vogstrom stated he apologizes. <br /> Seals stated if the Dunkleys or Habermans had something to say,they would be here. <br /> Crosby noted he is familiar with the area because he lives across the street and that he also knew the <br /> Habermans. Crosby commented the Habermans did have a tough time taking care of it because a lot of <br /> trees would fall in the water and so forth. Crosby stated he has lived there since 2005 and that it is not a <br /> clean area and is full of mosquitos. Crosby stated to say anything else is a complete falsehood. Crosby <br /> stated that is not intended to pull away from the Habermans because they did as much as they could to <br /> take care of the area. Crosby indicated he did not look at what Eric Vogstrom was saying as a knock <br /> against the Habermans. <br /> Seals stated the Habermans are not here to defend themselves. <br /> Eric Vogstrom indicated he also is friends with the Habermans and that they are wonderful people and <br /> dear friends with the Dunkleys. Vogstrom stated Sue Dunkley wanted him to inform the Council that the <br /> reason the Habermans sold their property was due to the upkeep and that he apologizes if anyone thought <br /> he was trying to say anything bad about them. <br /> Getlin commented he also is friends with the Habermans and that they need to ask them what their <br /> motivation was for selling. <br /> Walsh noted that is not relevant to what the City Council needs to discuss tonight and that perhaps <br /> everyone can leave the Habermans out of it. <br /> Mark Howery,Landscape Architect,commented they were kind of misrepresented this evening by <br /> someone saying the whole shoreline was cleared over Labor Day weekend. Howery stated what wound <br /> up happening was one diseased basswood and one diseased ash was removed in addition to some <br /> buckthorn. The contractor who did the work went into the 75-foot zone and cleared a path. Howery <br /> indicated he then proceeded to work with Staff on regading the area,which was seeded and revegetated. <br /> Howery noted it was a 50-foot wide path and that the other trees that were taken down were outside the <br /> 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Kelly Hueler stated she was talking about the new addition. <br /> Howery stated that is the area he was talking about and that the contractor did not obtain a permit first but <br /> that he worked with Staff immediately to get it rectified. <br /> Page 13 of 21 <br />
