ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 13, 1990 <br />• ZONING FILE #1568- PIERPONT CONTINUED <br />Callahan noted that Mabusth's memo states that the guest <br />house /stable structure would have to be removed if Lot 14 is not <br />combined with Lot 15. He said, "In light of information we <br />received pertaining to another application this evening, I do not <br />believe we can require removal of the structure." <br />Barrett said, "The City could grant a permit based on the <br />existence of certain health and safety structures, such as access <br />to the septic system." <br />Callahan agreed that Barrett's comments would hold true for <br />now. He said, "If in the future, the property owners wish to <br />subdivide and sell Lot 14, the structure we are discussing this <br />evening should be removed." <br />Bellows said, "If the property owners request a subdivision <br />of the property, the guest house structure and septic needs would <br />be addressed under the subdivision regulations." <br />Bernhardson suggested tabling this matter to allow time for <br />staff to explore available options. <br />Mayor Grabek asked Mrs. Pierpont if tabling this matter for <br />two weeks would pose any problems. <br />is Mrs. Pierpont replied, "There is a timing problem. We wish <br />to complete the guest house so that we may reside in it while we <br />remodel our house. I have a contractor ready to start on <br />Monday." <br />Bellows asked whether staff has explored the option of <br />locating an additional septic site on Lot 15. <br />Gaffron stated that staff has not looked at that option, but <br />based on topography, would probably be difficult. <br />Mayor Grabek asked whether there are any other unresolved <br />issues involved with this application. <br />Mabusth replied, "There are none. In fact staff has <br />determined that footings do in fact exist under the stable. <br />Prior to the Planning Commiss.ion meeting, staff had been advised <br />that the footings did not exist. The Planning Commission <br />recommendation was based -on that incorrect information." <br />Mayor Grabek suggested that staff be allowed to attempt to <br />resolve the lot combination issue without the need to bring the <br />matter back to Council. He said, "If there is a satisfactory <br />solution, you may proceed with construction. However, should <br />difficulties arise, the matter will have to come back to Council <br />• in two weeks." <br />- 13 - <br />
