MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETEING Monday, MAY 13, 2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. Mattick stated he wants to clarify that she is talking about the court order and that they are here tonight to deal with the permit, which talks about when Pence Lane gets to be used and when they get to use Walters Port. Hueler commented it is her belief the court order is consistent with the permit. Walsh stated if people are coming to do work on the plat, they can come down Pence or Walters Port. Walsh stated the City cannot monitor what work is being done where, but if they are doing work on the plat, they can utilize either road. Currently there is work being done on the Dunkleys' house, Eric Vogstrom's property, and the plat. The Dunkleys are only allowed to use Walters Port for their work and the work on the Vogstrom property and the plat can use either road. Kelly Hueler asked who is going to pay for the damage to their driveway. Hueler noted they could have been using Walters Port 100 percent of the time but that they have been using Pence Lane. Hueler noted the City approved the plat and issued the permits but yet they are claiming they have no responsibility for what is being done to their shared driveway. Mattick stated the record will say if you broke it, you pay for it. Kelly Hueler stated they are here about the City's obligations and the City's requirements. Hueler stated what they are experiencing in real time is not what is being represented here and that she regularly watches people come in and drive down their driveway. Walsh noted the contractors are still working on the plat work and that they get to use both roads. Walsh stated a wall could be a reasonable solution once the plat work is done but that right now he is trying to lay out the facts. Kelly Hueler asked whether all the construction vehicles that have been going down the shared driveway is permissible even though the work is being done on Walters Port and whether that is acceptable to the City. Walsh reiterated the work taking place at the Dunkleys' property has to use Walters Port, the work on Eric Vogstrom's house is supposed to use Pence Lane, and if they are working on the plat, they can use either road. Kelly Hueler stated that is the City's position but not the court's opinion. Mattick stated the Huelers can enforce that court order. Curtis asked what the timing is on the completion of the portion that is depicted on the screen of the plat grading. Vogstrom indicated that work will probably continue for about three weeks. Vogstrom noted this is the Hueler's land and that they do not have a shared driveway. Dunkley noted they have a 600 -foot easement.
