ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 13, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1579- EVERSON CONTINUED <br />said, "The plan we have presented is totally agreeable to us. • <br />However, we were not asked to pay the additional $175.0 at the <br />time we applied for the variance. I do not feel we should have <br />to pay it now." <br />Acting Mayor Callahan asked Mrs. Everson if she understood <br />that they were being asked to pay an additional $175.00 because <br />of the after -the -fact nature of this application. <br />Mrs_ Everson replied, "We understand that now. However, we <br />did not intend to build a deck without letting the City know. We <br />paid $175.00 for the application and paid for a survey. It will <br />cost us money to remove a portion of the deck and to buy sod. I <br />believe we have done everything we were asked to do." <br />Goetten asked whether Staff has a nrogram in place to <br />inspect properties to assure that conditions that are specified <br />in resolutions are in fact carried out. <br />Gaffron replied, "This application has been placed in a <br />tickler file. Staff has been making a more concerted effort to <br />follow up on these situations. We have begun to include language <br />in the resolutions requiring the conditional work to be done <br />prior to a footing inspection being made. That works well for <br />applications that are not after - the - fact." <br />Goetten stated that she was pleased to see that the City has • <br />a program in place. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan suggested that at some time in the <br />near future, the issue of plastj_c and hardcover shou -_d be <br />reviewed. <br />It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by Peterson, <br />to adopt Resolution #2898, granting after-the-fact hardcover and <br />average setback variances for the construction of a deck at 4755 <br />North Shore Drive. Motion, Ayes -3; Nettles, Nay. Motion passed. <br />Mettles did not agree with the requirement to pay an additional <br />$175.00. <br />MAYOR /COUNCIL REPORT: <br />Acting Mayor Callahan suggested that the process for <br />appointing an additional Councilmember begin as soon as possible. <br />He said, "I realize that we cannot appoint anyone until the first <br />of the year, but we can notify the public of the vacancy and <br />begin taking applications." <br />Goetten and Peterson, concurred with Callahan. <br />It was the consensus of Council that Staff place a <br />notification of the Council seat vacancy in the City newspaper as <br />- 10 - • <br />
