MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 24, 1992 ZONING FILE #1682 - CONT. Callahan asked how the trusses got there in the first place. Mertz noted Brickley ordered them ahead of time, and due to a mis- interpretation of the Planning Commission action, went ahead with the project. He agreed there was no excuse for not getting a permit. He asked if the Council would have agreed to the proposal if Brickley had required the removal of the ugly sheds to be replaced with a new garage in the correct sequence. Jabbour stated that he did not believe there was such a thing as ugly buildings. He stated the issue Is excessive hardcover and structural encroachment. Mayor Peterson asked Barrett if the past decision could be,changed. Barrett stated that they did have the authority to change their past decision, but a motion would have to be*made by a person who voted for the prevailing side. Mayor Peterson reiterated that Brickley did not stay through the motion at the last Council meeting when this - was d1scussed,..and noted she did not mention tabling the application at that meeting. Brickley stated that she had everything written out and that was the first sentence. Jabbour felt.that all issues regarding this application have been a misunderstanding. He noted that the project was not done in the proper sequence, and felt that Council has tried'to work with the applicant. He reminded her that they are not in the business of redesigning her lifestyle, buildings or land, and that is why the Issue was voted on at the last meeting. Gaffron stated that the resolution allows underpinning of the slab to move the westerly wall, but to allow the excess slab to remain. Mertz announced that Brickley would agree to removal of the southern excess portion of the slab if the garage was allowed to remain in its present location. s Callahan noted that the Planning Commission suggested that removal at the first review of this application. 5
