MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 9, 1995 ( #11 - #2071 James and Joann Jundt - Continued) • Hurr moved to table the application. She asked what would be accomplished by seeing the plan. Hurr is concerned that replacement with only 9" of trees is not what would be required of other applicants. Mabusth said Staff does not have a set pattern established for tree replacement. The building inspector makes the decision. There is no standard in the code for tree replacement. Gaffron commented that it was not a tree -for -tree replacement. Zoning staff does not review the tree removal permits. Gaffron said no input was received from the building inspector on this application. Gaffron asked for additional direction from the Council. Callahan questioned why additional direction would be needed if the issue had not yet been reviewed. Gaffron said it was often difficult in an after - the -fact request to decide what is appropriate. He was concerned with tree survival and density if inch- for -inch was the criteria used. It was noted that a one- for -one tree replacement was done on a project on Stubbs Bay. Callahan noted that the Planning Commission felt the two maples for one elm was reasonable. Hurr said she did not concur. Kelley asked who had done the drawing. Gaffron said the applicant. Kelley said decisions might be different when they involve the 0 -75' zone. • Jabbour moved, Callahan seconded, to approve the variance providing tree replacement is of three 4-1/2" trees, and no building permit issued prior to full comprehensive plan received by Staff including what has been completed and future projects shown. Callahan asked if the motion could be contingent on the plan in hand by a certain date, which was decided to be Friday, October 13. Hurr asked what would happen if the plans were not satisfactory. Callahan said the idea was to get a general scheme of the property. Mabusth said the plan could be reviewed. Kelley was concerned that this was opening a pandora's box and questioned whether the plans would be of issues not requiring a variance. Gaffron asked for clarification that the approval was based on not issuing the waterproofing permit until the plan was received and in hand by October 13. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( 412) #2072 GRAYDON K. NEWMAN, 38., 1655 BOHNS POINT ROAD - VARIANCE /CUP - RESOLUTION #3618 • The applicant had representation. 9
