ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 25, 1990 <br />LMCD REPORT CONTINUED <br />• It was the consensus of Council that juveniles should be <br />required to be licensed to operate a motor boat. <br />Mayor Grabek asked Hurr for an update as to the level of the <br />lake and the presence of Eura.sian Milfoil. <br />Hurr replied that the lake level has increased by nearly a <br />foot. She noted that there are some persons on the Board stating <br />that the lake level is currently 928.6.. She, said the average <br />lake level is 929.4, and that she doubted the current level is <br />928.6. <br />With regard to the Eurasian Milfoil, Hurr said that the <br />weeds are growing rapidly. She said that there are four weed <br />cutters working to harvest the weed. <br />Councilmember Peterson made reference to an article that <br />appeared in the paper regarding the use of chemicals to rid Lake <br />Independence of Eurasian Milfoil. She said that the article <br />stated that the weed is gone from the lake and questioned whether <br />that is accurate. <br />Hurr replied that though areas of Lake Independence have <br />been chemically treated, there are other areas where the weed <br />exists. Hurr noted that the Freshwater Biological Foundation has <br />• received a $100,000 grant to use for research to find a chemical <br />to rid the weed from the lakes. She stated that harvesting is <br />only being done to make the lakes functional, but it is not a <br />permanent solution. <br />Mayor Grabek thanked JoEllen for her presentation. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br />There were no public comments. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: <br />#1473 JACQUELYNN KELLY <br />2056 SHADYWOOD ROAD <br />AFTER -THE -FACT VARIANCE <br />Ms. Kelly and her Attorney, Mr. Dennis Johnson, were <br />present. <br />Bernhardson reviewed the information regarding this <br />application (see Jeanne Mabusth's memo dated June 21, 1990). <br />Bernhardson noted that the applicant has revised her plan, but <br />has not provided a revised survey. <br />Mabusth showed Council an overhead sketch of the current <br />proposal.
