I MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 23, 1993 • PUBLIC COMMENTS - CONT. PCI also indicated that it would be repaired when they had dry weather. Furchner felt there had been 4 days of dry weather and something should have been done. Gerhardson told Furchner that the person who said it would be repaired when there was dry weather did not have the authority to give that information. Gerhardson explained that PCI does semi - finish grading on all properties in the project and this has been done to Furchner's property as well. PCI will then come back with pulverized dirt (topsoil) to complete the work before sod is placed. This has not been done yet in any part of the project. Gerhardson was unaware that dirt had been used from Furchner's property. Cook thought it would be the end of next week before PCI would be able to get in to finish the topsoil and sodding. Goetten asked that an answer be given to Mr. Furchner as soon as possible. Callahan asked that Furchner's property be completed and a report given to Councilmembers by the next meeting, September 13, 1993. Hurr also asked for information as to when Stubbs Bay Road would be completed. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT ( 0) #1780 CITY OF ORONO, 1000 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION #3315 It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Jabbour, to adopt the resolution presented except that Item #3 from the findings of fact should be removed since the report by Schirmers is not • pertinent to the resolution. Kelley asked where people who want to use the park would park their vehicles. Callahan understood there would be available parking in the southwest corner. Kelley asked at what point the City would require this road to be paved and brought up to City standards. Mabusth stated the subdivision regulations deal only with the trigger of residential units so if the residential lot is subdivided, it would only be at the third lot, based on residential development, that would require upgrading. She felt it would be up to the City to make that determination as the park is developed. Kelley thought the park was acting like another residential unit. It is Callahan's understanding that if the road benefits the property owners, they could be assessed their fair portion. Mabusth asked Council to provide direction on whether the landowner will be responsible for sharing in the maintenance of the private driveway. An easement for the driveway is provided on City land. Jabbour thought the City should maintain it in the summer but the homeowner should plow in the winter. The City must maintain this drive to access the MWCC lift station. Hurr asked if this drive was currently maintained by the City. Mabusth stated the issue of maintenance was brought up at the Planning Commission meeting and was to be resolved by staff. In discussions with the Public Works Department, they said they would assume maintenance of the roadway. Gerhardson added that maintenance can be whoever arrives first. 2 40
