MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 13, 2017 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />19. #17-3987 JOHN KRAEMER & SONS ON BEHALF OF ELLEN REDMOND, 2625 <br />KELLY AVENUE, AFTER -THE -FACT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (GRADING) — <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6809 — Continued <br />for Staff. When the application was looked at as a whole, the grading did not raise any red flags. When <br />the house was demolished, the contractor started to clear the site and prepare the building envelope. <br />Curtis noted the contractor did a good job with the site and no complaints were received. <br />Crosby asked if the new foundation will be in line with setback requirements. <br />Curtis indicated it will be and that the only issue is the removal of the fill. <br />Seals asked how often the review by the Planning Commission is waived. <br />Curtis indicated it has been done in the past and that it typically happens at the end of the year when there <br />is no December Planning Commission meeting. <br />Barnhart noted the public hearing will be held tonight if the City Council waives the review by the <br />Planning Commission. <br />Seals stated she does not want to set a precedent for skipping the Planning Commission. <br />Rief stated this is the second one this year and both were unique exceptions. <br />Curtis stated one of the concerns addressed is the cleanup of the silt off the street and the contractor has <br />done a good job with that. <br />Crosby moved, Printup seconded, to waive review by the Planning Commission of Application No. <br />17-3987, John Kraemer & Sons on behalf of Ellen Redmond, 2625 Kelly Avenue, and to hold the <br />public hearing at the City Council meeting. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Mayor Walsh opened the public hearing at 8:58 p.m. <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br />Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 8:58 p.m. <br />Mike Sharratt, Sharratt Design, stated the reason for the amount of fill was that the original house on the <br />site was a two-story home with no basement. With the house that was designed, the owner did not want <br />the house to appear that large and so a basement was built. Sharratt stated in that basement is a sport <br />court, which generated a lot of the fill. <br />Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6809 , a Resolution granting a <br />conditional use permit to allow removal of material in excess of 500 cubic yards for the property <br />located at 2625 Kelly Avenue. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Page 14 of 17 <br />
