MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 23, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. 21. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD (CSAH 112-CSAH 6) ROAD PROJECT — Continued Walsh noted the City will be using MSA dollars for this project and that the funds will not be coming out of the City's road fund or general fund. Walsh stated over the past four or five years the City has redone most of the City's MSA roads. Crosby commented the road should be a lot safer once it is improved. Printup stated the City has received a lot of great cooperation from the School District on this project. Printup commented he has compiled a number of photographs of the area that show how Old Crystal Bay Road has basically stayed the same from 1920 even though the population of the area has dramatically increased. Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6870, a Resolution For and to Advance Municipal State Aid Funds, and to approve the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Orono and the Orono School District. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 4. RENTAL LICENSES Seals stated she did have a question about the list of questions that applicants are required to fill out and that Staff has provided that list to her. Seals stated she had recommended to Staff that language be included on the form calling out the fact that the City does not allow short-term rentals under 30 days so the residents are aware of that. Barnhart indicated that language has been added to the check -off sheet. Seals moved, Printup seconded, to approve the rental licenses as listed in Exhibit A for the license period of May 14, 2018, to December 31, 2019. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S REPORT — JON RESSLER, REPRESENTATIVE 15. LA18-000033 (18-4000) JEFF MARTINEAU, 1335 ARBOR STREET, VARIANCE, RESOLUTION NO. 6864 Printup stated he requested this be removed from the Consent Agenda because he was wondering whether construction parking could be onsite given the narrow streets. Martineau, Applicant, stated he wants to be reasonable and that he does not want to create a disaster situation. Martineau indicated it will be a house on a smaller lot and that he knows they cannot block the streets. Martineau indicated his goal is to do proactive grading on the site to allow for parking of as many vehicles on the property but that it will be a construction zone with materials being delivered periodically. Martineau stated he is not in a position to offer a specific off-street parking spot or erecting no parking signs. Printup noted Briar is posted no parking and the streets are narrow in the area so he would like the applicant to be cognizant of that. Page 6 of 16
