MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 25, 2018 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />14. LA18-55 PAUL VOGSTROM OB/O WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS <br />PORT LANE, SKETCH PLAN — Continued <br />going up and down Pence have beat up the road so much that it is practically unusable. Bakke stated the <br />Habermans were friends of his and it angers him considerably to have someone disparage them who has <br />not looked at that area that was characterized as a swamp and a dump for the last 40 years. <br />Seals commented she can appreciate what he is saying and that it is duly noted about speaking for other <br />people's motivations. <br />Eric Vogstrom stated he apologizes. <br />Seals stated if the Dunkleys or Habermans had something to say, they would be here. <br />Crosby noted he is familiar with the area because he lives across the street and that he also knew the <br />Habermans. Crosby commented the Habermans did have a tough time taking care of it because a lot of <br />trees would fall in the water and so forth. Crosby stated he has lived there since 2005 and that it is not a <br />clean area and is full of mosquitos. Crosby stated to say anything else is a complete falsehood. Crosby <br />stated that is not intended to pull away from the Habermans because they did as much as they could to <br />take care of the area. Crosby indicated he did not look at what Eric Vogstrom was saying as a knock <br />against the Habermans. <br />Seals stated the Habermans are not here to defend themselves. <br />Eric Vogstrom indicated he also is friends with the Habermans and that they are wonderful people and <br />dear friends with the Dunkleys. Vogstrom stated Sue Dunkley wanted him to inform the Council that the <br />reason the Habermans sold their property was due to the upkeep and that he apologizes if anyone thought <br />he was trying to say anything bad about them. <br />Getlin commented he also is friends with the Habermans and that they need to ask them what their <br />motivation was for selling. <br />Walsh noted that is not relevant to what the City Council needs to discuss tonight and that perhaps <br />everyone can leave the Habermans out of it. <br />Mark Howery, Landscape Architect, commented they were kind of misrepresented this evening by <br />someone saying the whole shoreline was cleared over Labor Day weekend. Howery stated what wound <br />up happening was one diseased basswood and one diseased ash was removed in addition to some <br />buckthorn. The contractor who did the work went into the 75 -foot zone and cleared a path. Howery <br />indicated he then proceeded to work with Staff on regrading the area, which was seeded and revegetated. <br />Howery noted it was a 50 -foot wide path and that the other trees that were taken down were outside the <br />0-75 foot zone. <br />Kelly Hueler stated she was talking about the new addition. <br />Howery stated that is the area he was talking about and that the contractor did not obtain a permit first but <br />that he worked with Staff immediately to get it rectified. <br />Page 13 of 21 <br />
