MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, October 8,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Walsh stated it is a conforming lot based on what is being presented currently and that the Dunkleys are <br /> not precluded from asking for something else. The City Council will be voting on what is being <br /> presented this evening. <br /> Kelly Hueler asked whether there would be a process to change the code. <br /> Walsh stated in order for the code to be changed, it would need to go before the Planning Commission, <br /> public input would be obtained, and then the City Council would discuss it. <br /> Kelly Hueler stated it is her understanding that the City Council bases their decisions on the code and that <br /> they do not get involved in private disputes between neighbors. Hueler stated she heard Sue Dunkley just <br /> say they have intentions to do something different. Hueler asked whether that has anything to do with a <br /> code change. <br /> Walsh stated the City does not preclude anyone from asking for a variance. All applications that are <br /> reviewed are always based on the current code and that the City Council does not get involved with <br /> private easements or disputes. <br /> Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. <br /> Wash noted this is a conforming lot and that the applicants are not requesting any variances. <br /> Seals asked how the grading, drainage and stormwater issues will be addressed. <br /> Curtis indicated those will be taken care of at the time of final plat. <br /> Printup moved,Dankey seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6907,a Resolution Approving a <br /> Preliminary Plat for the Plat of Pence Lane Addition.

Expand the house footprint over the approved window well into the interior side setback; <br /> expanding the structure and volume within the interior side <br /> 2. Creating a new bump-out within the side street yard setback outside of the approved house <br /> footprint; expanding the structure and volume within this setback. <br /> Page 4 of 18 <br />
