MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 12,1995 ( #10 - #2022 Robert Melamed - Continued) • Kelley asked for the pros and cons on leaving the road unpaved. Flint said the issue wasn't discussed by the Park Commission but by the Planning Commission. Flint did say that he recommended no paving as this would change the park environment. Kelley commented that cars would park on the grass at Norenberg Park, and this did not change that park's characteristics. Jabbour asked Peterson why the Planning Commission recommended a variance. Peterson said it was a common sense issue that prevailed. He cited the example of the City granting itself a variance in the past with regards to the Crystal Bay post office parking lot. A setback variance was required in order to preserve the park area but no hardship was defined. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to allow access offthe City road with no upgrade or cul -de -sac, noting the hardship to preserve the park area. Kelley asked that the condition be stipulated that the first few feet into each driveway be paved. The motion was amended that the blacktop be installed to City Engineer's standards past the entrance of the shared drive to the discretion of the City Engineer and Staff. Ayes 4, Nays 1, Jabbour. Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, to allow the applicant to dredge and expand a retention area within City property to southeast to be used to mitigation area for bike trail and • remainder to be banked by City for the future outlot B.
