MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MARCH 27, 1995 (#6 Hillside Place Administrative Appeal - Continued) • Callahan said the agreement shows that the City does not plan on opening Wallace Avenue, which should result in denial of the appeal. Dahl countered that she had been in discussions with Gerhardson during the whole process about accessing on Wallace. City Attorney Barrett said that the agreement, though, was with Segner. The access was first denied in September of 1994. Moorse commented that the denial was given during the same time as the resolution for the lot line rearrangement. Jabbour saw the issue as whether the City had future plans for Wallace Avenue, which it does not. Whether Dahl could be allowed access was a different issue. Wallace is only a 20' road with an existing house that is 9 -1/2' from the road; whereas Hillside Place is already 25' in width and access has already been granted. Callahan asked if Dahl would like this appeal tabled until the full Council was present to which she agreed. Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to table the Appeal of Administrative Decision until the Council meeting of April 10, 1995, when all Council is present. Ayes 3, Nays 0. Clair Rood asked if Council or Staff members would look at the drainage ditch situation prior to the meeting. • It was noted that Wallace Avenue should not be used for storage of any type. Dahl asked to voice her frustration with the process and with Staff. She said she was led to believe that the lot rearrangement must be decided first and the access at a later time. C7 ( #7) VOLUNTEER COMMISSION REAPPOINTMENTS Mayor Callahan reported that the terms of Sandra Smith and Charles Nolan, Jr., of the Planning Commission had expired. Both members asked to continue serving, and Callahan voiced his support for that recommendation. However, Nolan will not complete the new term, and Callahan advised Staff to advertise for the prospective vacancy. Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to approve the reappointment of Sandra Smith and Charles Nolan, Jr., for the term of 4/1/95 to 3/31/98. Ayes 3, Nays 0. Callahan reported on the rotating chairmanship for the Planning Commission on a yearly basis. Schroeder will be stepping down from the chair and was reported to have performed very capably in this position. Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to approve Steve Peterson as Chair of the Planning Commission and Candace Rowlette as Vice Chair. Ayes 3, Nays 0. 7
