ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 22, 1991 <br />(15)STUBBS BAY SEWER CONTINUED <br />determination is made regarding the sewer project. He said, <br />"Th_s shou d provide so:-.1e relief to the Ziesmers. It may take <br />all of their waste load, it may take the line's share of it. I <br />do not think, o:'1 a short-term basis, that this will pose any <br />pollution hazard. It is similar to systems on either s_de of <br />this property which seem to be working well." <br />Goetten agreed that she would like to see a -temporary <br />solution made available to the Ziesmers until a decision is made. <br />Jabbour asked if Council action is necessary to approve the <br />modified trench system for the Ziesmers. <br />Gaffron explained, "There is a septic code Variance involved <br />because it does not strictly meet the code.standards." <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to <br />conceptually approve the idea presented by Michael Gaffron, and <br />direct Staff t .:) prepare the necessary resolutions or documents <br />setting forth the specific conditions of approval,.and making it <br />clear that this is only a temporary solution. All voted aye. <br />Motion passed. <br />With regard to the establishment of a citizens committee, <br />Jabbour staged that he had an opportunity to talk with Sherokee <br />-1se about chairing the committee and she declined the offer. <br />Mayor Petersen asked Dave Petersen to elaborate can his <br />meeting with some of the Stubbs Bay area residents. <br />Dave Petersen said, "•7e d'-d have a meeting, but I also <br />individually contacted some of t:ze re- sidents t'nat had n•at <br />completed the survey sent out by the City. Generally speaking, <br />everyone that I contacted all agreed that the project is needed, <br />and desired to have sewer, but did not know how to pay for it. <br />Most slated that they did not want to commit to anything until <br />they had all of the facts and options." <br />Jabbour stated that iin his opinion, the question is. not <br />whether there will be a project, as much as it is there will be a <br />project, but how much will it cost. <br />Goetten agreed that it may . be more effective to have <br />.residents talking with residents rather than having City <br />officials talking with neighbors. <br />Marie Zi.esmer asked what it i:, Council would like the <br />citizens committee to accomplish. <br />Dave Peterson stated that the residents with whom he. had <br />spoken had wanted to see alternate methods of financing <br />19 - <br />
