ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 8, 1990 ZONING FILE 11555 - LANDSTAR, INC. CONTINUED • Bernhardson states that regardless of whether this property is developed or not, the City intended to do an overly. With this property in for subdivision, it was appropriate to wait until afterwards. It was not the intent that any of the abutting property owners help the developer pay for it. The only issue might be that if the road were upgraded to include curb and gutter and staff may explore that. Bernhardson's recommendation is to give the developer conceptual approval at this point and bring back to Council the road information as to what would be proposed, the costs and the developer's share. Acting Mayor Callahan states that Mr. MacKinnon is very justified in feeling that he has met the preliminary requirements. However, Callahan still thinks houses should not be built there, period.

In that time, staff will gather • information on the questions that have been asked.

The applicant asks that this be considered in the denial resolution. Mrs. Everson stated, "We have less hardcover now than before the deck went up. We think that is reasonable based on the fact that the Council approved our neighbor's request to have 51/52% hardcover based on the big driveway required to service both houses." Acting Mayor Callahan asked if the neighbors request was for an after-the-fact variance. Mrs. Everson answered no. • Nettles replied that it seems they have made a good faith effort realizing it is after - the -fact. "We are pursuing -our stated goal to reduce hardcover and are moving in that direction 14
