ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 29, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1511 -CITY OF ORONO CONTINUED <br />Councilmember Goetten stated the City should abide by the . <br />reconunendation of the Planning Commission to provide evergreen <br />screening. <br />Councilmember Callahan noted that a survey is required for <br />all zoning applications and that the City should not be exempt <br />from meeting that criteria. <br />It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember <br />Callahan, to conceptually approve the conditional use permit for <br />the construction of a pump house to be located on Highway 12. <br />Motion, Ayes -5, Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />#1515 JEFFREY JOHNSON <br />3825 CHERRY AVENUE <br />VARIANCE <br />RESOLUTION #2807 <br />Jeffrey Johnson was present. <br />Bernhardson briefly reviewed the current information <br />regarding this application (see Jeanne Mabusth's memo dated May <br />25, 1990). <br />Mayor Grabek asked Mr. Johnson if he had in fact discussed <br />the option of sharing the neighbor's catwalk. <br />Mr. Johnson indicated that he did discuss that option with • <br />his neighbor, but his neighbor had no interest in sharing the <br />existing catwalk. <br />Councilmember Goetten stated that she had gone out to the <br />site and is more certain that Mr. Johnson's proposal should not <br />be approved. She stated that she had not approved a similar <br />application previously reviewed by Council. Goetten also stated <br />that Mr. Johnson's neighbor should be asked to come before the <br />Council because their catwalk is deteriorating and must receive <br />Council approval for repairs. Goetten again expressed her <br />concern regarding the precedent- setting aspect of approving such <br />structures. <br />Councilmember Nettles asked staff how many of these catwalks <br />exist in Orono. <br />Mabusth referred to a catwalk previously approved for <br />property on Tonkawa Road and a bridge approved in 1978 for <br />property on Farview. She said that similar situations more than <br />likely exist in Orono, but could not provide specific locations <br />at this time. <br />Mabusth stated that at some point in the future, the City <br />will be able to vacate the right -of -way for Cherry Avenue which <br />8 - • <br />
