MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,July 23,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 13. LA18-000055—2709 WALTERS PORT LANE,BILL AND SUE DUNKLEY, <br /> SKETCH PLAN—Continued <br /> Walsh stated the Planning Commission can get all this feedback and vet the application since these are <br /> questions that have not really been looked at. <br /> Printup stated there is ample land for a house to be built and that there is not a practical difficulty. <br /> Dankey indicated she is torn on this one because people have to be really careful about removing a house <br /> since the chances to build in the same spot are forfeited. Dankey indicated she would like to see a house <br /> that is not as wide and that they have to work with the lot they have and then design a house that fits on <br /> the lot. <br /> Seals commented it is not the City Council's job to design the house and that there is a building envelope <br /> that they can work with. Seals stated the applicants can bring their application to the Planning <br /> Commission to get their feedback on it. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Crosby reported as part of the Carman Bay LID,they finally got their channel treated two weeks ago. <br /> Cannan's Bay was treated in May. Crosby stated in his view the coves need to be treated at the same <br /> time as the bays and that he will be keeping an eye on the situation. Crosby stated he has noticed that <br /> without the harvesting the bay is so much cleaner. <br /> Seals stated her husband is now a volunteer fireman. <br /> Seals reported the Laker-Pioneer newspaper had a very cool article with pictures on Big Island and the <br /> improvements made there. Seals noted the lead person from Home Depot on this project is Abbie <br /> Birkhart,who is an Orono resident. <br /> Printup noted the City Council had some folks talking about cell phone towers being located in parks <br /> earlier this evening and that he can remember 20 to 25 years ago some people walking around in his <br /> neighborhood with a petition opposing cell phone towers. Printup noted currently the City does not have <br /> any applications for cell phone towers and that he does have some concerns with putting the towers in city <br /> parks. <br /> Printup commented he has heard more about milfoil harvesting and the harvester in the last week and that <br /> the City's representative to the LMCD will need to be aware of that. Printup noted the original harvesters <br /> were donated and that the program started out as a great thing because no one knew what milfoil was or <br /> how to deal with it. <br /> Printup noted the City Council had a discussion at the work session about the house fire last week and fire <br /> hydrants. Printup stated there probably needs to be an education component perhaps in the next <br /> newsletter,noting that with city water comes city sewer and then the Metropolitan Council,which is <br /> something people need to be cognizant of. <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
