MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 24, 199 t (96 - #1960 - Navarre Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses - Continued) • Mabusth reported the application was for an extention of the driveway and parking lot to the south and rear of the existing lot. Two additions also needed CUP review_ The Planning Commission gave their approval of the side setback variance of 47' for a carport where 50' is required. The main issue is drainage from the property. The church is located in a 30 acre watershed. An improved method of redirecting the drainage on the eastside is planned to relieve buildup during heavy rains. Two options available for conveying drainage are either a swale or 12" underground tile. The residence to the east has old underground tile system but it fails during heavy rain. This solution should alleviate some of the problem by carrying the runoff to a culvert under Togo Road eventually draining into the wetland to the north. Staff will ask the church to grant an easement over the drainageway. Representative Metzger reported the owners to the east have approved their plan and will provide a letter to the City stipulating their approval. Mabusth said the City will require both property owners to apply for the land- alteration permit. After inquiring, Hurr was informed that at the public hearing this application received no complaints from the neighborhood reporting a positive reaction for the drainage solution possibilities. Callahan asked Cook about the affect on the Cuff property (Navarre Heights), who has previously had an application before the Council_ Cook advised that • the Cuff property located further south eventually drains to this watershed. • Jabbour brought to the Applicant and Council's attention, the Staff recommendation for the drainage easement, 15' in width, being 7.5' on either side of the final culvert/swale location within the applicants' property. The applicant was asked if he was in agreement with this recommendation. Metzger said he was but would want assistance with the cost of the materials. Jabbour commented that the City would likely assess for the amount the City paid so there would be no gain to the applicant. It was noted that engineering was provided free to the applicant. Hurr moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3485 granting a hardcover variance, structural setback variance and structural additions conditional use permit for the Navarre Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses at 3655 Togo Road.
