ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD JULY 23, 1990 <br />• ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL <br />JOHN WOJCIK <br />3310 BAYSIDE ROAD <br />ADDITIONS TO RESIDENCE <br />SECOND REVIEW <br />Bernhardson briefly reviewed this matter and the discussion <br />and action taken at the July 9, 1990 Council Meeting. He noted <br />that the information presented this evening included a listing of <br />requests for additions to properties with similar septic <br />capabilities (see Michael Gaffron's memo dated July 19, 1990). <br />Mayor Grabek stated that the Wojciks could have additional <br />persons move in and live with them tomorrow. He did not believe <br />that adding an additional bathroom and increasing the size of a <br />bedroom would necessarily increase the septic system usage. He <br />said that if the Wojciks were adding a bedroom, he would have <br />reason for concern. <br />Councilmember Goetten was concerned about doubling the size <br />of the master bedroom. <br />Councilmember Peterson concurred with Grabek in that the <br />number of bathrooms does not indicate the amount of use each will <br />have. <br />• It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember <br />Peterson, to approve the request of the Wojciks' to add an <br />additional bathroom to their existing residence. Callahan asked <br />what the Wojciks must do if their septic system fails. Gaffron <br />replied that they would likely have to use a holding tank until <br />such time that City sewer is available. Bernhardson suggested <br />that the applicants could be asked to sign a hold harmless <br />agreement. He stated that such an agreement would protect the <br />City in the event the septic system does fail. Mayor Grabek <br />asked Mr. Wojcik if he would object to signing such an agreement. <br />Mr. Wojcik stated that he would have no objections. Motion, <br />Ayes -4, Goetten, Nay. Motion passed. Goetten stated that she <br />did not object to the Wojciks' application, but was concerned <br />about the septic system. She added that Michael Gaffron is the <br />City's septic inspector and that she supports his <br />recommendations. <br />Gaffron indicated that it would be necessary for Mr. Wojcik <br />to submit a survey and go through the variance process for the <br />side setback variance that may be required for the addition. <br />MAYOR /COUNCIL REPORT: <br />OTHER: <br />Councilmember Callahan stated that there are an increasing <br />number of properties that have more hardcover than the City has <br />• approved or allows. He suggested that staff research possible <br />- 9 - <br />
