MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 12, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS — Continued Anderson provided Mayor Walsh with Shorewood's home rental policy. Anderson indicated he has spoken with the property owner and sent him emails about the issues but that there currently is no rule or regulation that says he cannot rent his house out. Anderson stated the house sleeps 12 and rents for $ 1,000 a night, which results in a number of people being in the house. Anderson stated something needs to be done about the situation. PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT 19. PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE WORKER APPOINTMENT Edwards reviewed his Staff report dated June 12, 2017.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT — REPRESENTATIVE LOREN SCHOENZEIT 17. #1-3938 TC HOMES, INC., (Brian Tutt) ON BEHALF OF NANCY BLOMS, 1325 REST POINT LANE, VARIANCES: LOT AREA, LOT WIDTH, STREET SIDE YARD SETBACK — RESOLUTION NO. 6768. Barnhart reviewed his Staff report dated June 12, 2017. The applicants are requesting variances from the side street setback, lot size and lot width. Staff recommends approval. Printup asked for clarification on the drainage issues. Barnhart indicated this property is higher than the neighboring properties so all of the drainage goes into the area. The neighbors are currently experiencing some runoff, and from a drainage perspective, their main concern is that issue is not exacerbated. Barnhart noted there is a thorough review of the drainage as part of the building pen -nit review to ensure water does not flow onto adjacent properties. Preliminary review of the plan indicates there is an acceptable drainage plan but that the City does not get into subsurface drainage. Walsh asked if there is a final determination on the drainage. Barnhart stated ultimately the applicant will submit a building permit application with full drainage plans and that based on the preliminary review of Staff, the plan seems reasonable from a building and zoning perspective. Edwards stated he has reviewed it from the variance perspective but that he has not reviewed it from a building permit perspective. Page 4 of 19
