MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JULY 27,'1992 <br />ORDINANCE #105,-SECOND SERIES - CONT. <br />Gaffron noted the 'Inspector has not yet added soil borings to his <br />normal maintenance procedure, although that will likely occur in <br />the future due to the shoreland requirements. <br />Callahan added that the base areas of the project are in serious <br />need of the sewer and should have to connect immediately. He felt <br />that the deadline date was extended to allow those in other areas, <br />such as Cygnet Place and Leaf Street with an acceptable system, <br />additional time to connect. <br />Goetten agreed with Callahan. She thought the number of residents <br />allowed the full five year time period would .be*very small. <br />Jabbour stated he felt that those with a working system, should be <br />allowed the additional time. He said with the restrictions so <br />severe now, almost all systems would be found non - conf.orming. <br />Moorse remembered a number of residents at the public hearing <br />concerned about the criteria used by staff for conformance. <br />Jabbour felt that part, of the negotiation with the residents was <br />a compromise on the connection deadline date. He felt the Council <br />should adhere to their original decision. <br />Butler thought the intent was to change the current ordinance to <br />allow 60 months for connection instead of the current 16 months. <br />She said she did not envision a whole new set of regulations. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Butler, to adopt Ordinance <br />#105, Second Series, extending the time period for hook -up to the <br />new Stubbs Bay sewer system. Ayes 3, nays 0. Callahan abstained. <br />( #13) AMENDMENT TO THE CITY'S FEE SCHEDULE CONCERNING THE SEWER <br />SERVICE CHARGE FOR UN- CONNECTED PROPERTIES - <br />ORDINANCE #106, SECOND SERIES <br />Moorse explained this is a change in policy allowing the Stubbs Bay <br />area residents up to five years -to connect to the sewer if their <br />current septic system is not failing, and waiving the service <br />charge during that interim period. <br />Goetten asked if Orono is billed from the M.W.C.C. for those <br />properties during that time. <br />Moorse stated that this is the City's billing for sewer and Orono <br />will not be billed by M.W.C.C. for the additional properties until <br />they connect. <br />11 <br />
