MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — AUGUST 26, 1991 R9QW98T FOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL — CONT. Schieffer felt that the building and zoning codes should operate independently from each other. Jabbour felt that repeal of the administrative decision would be negative precedent setting and could be setting the City up for a big misunderstanding. Barrett explained what the applicant is requesting is an appeal of an administrative decision. He noted that if this is done and the permit granted, the decision could not be reversed later. Callahan noted that the mortgage commitment can be redone and that zoning matters take precedent. He felt that Council should uphold the action of staff. Walker noted that in reference to the plastic liner, they would be willing to remove it. Callahan explained that Council is very reluctant to grant permission to obtain the building permit without an approval recommendation from the Planning Commission. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Jabbour, to uphold the staff decision to deny issuance of a building permit for John Walker, 1310 Spruce Place, until an approval recommendation from the Planning Commission is given. Ayes 4, nays 0. (##12) MCCULLEY ROAD BID AWARD It was moved by Butler, seconded by Jabbour, to award the bid for the McCulley Road Storm Sewer Project to, Bituminous Construction and Contracting for an amount of $30,569.75 and that the funding will be used from the Municipal State Aid Fund (MSA). Ayes 4; nays 0., (##13) STUBBS BAY FEASIBILITY STUDY Cook explained several modifications to the Stubbs Bay Sewer Project, which are: inclusion of Oxford Road and Cygnet Place to expand to the Stubbs Bay northwest and northeast areas; development of trunk system consisting of lift stations and forcemain stations from Tonkawa to Leaf Street; and the additions of a trunk line near Cygnet Place rather than a gravity which would- be difficult because of the topography. He informed the Council that unit costs range from $10,570 to 20,320. This figure does not include all of the properties in the northwest area because of possible combinations. Callahan noted that since the report had not been made available to residents in the area prior to the meeting, this matter should be tabled. He felt copies of the report should be sent to all affected property owners. 8
