MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETEING Monday, MAY 13, 2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. inspector. If they are moving dirt and that fence needs to be moved, an erosion fence would be easily enough moved. Walsh commented there is no magic silver bullet to this situation but that the City cannot make them build a wall. Rief asked if it would be reasonable to ask that when the workers switch from doing foundation work to doing plat work that they notify the City so that information could be conveyed to the Huelers. Walsh stated in his view that would be a reasonable expectation. Mattick stated the bottom line is, the City is spending a lot of staff resources to figure out what is going on in terms of construction, and to that extent, those types of communication would help. Walsh stated there is a very specific plan that needs to be done. Walsh asked whether Staff is okay with the solution that is being proposed. Curtis stated instead of fencing along the corner, they could place it along the common property line since the contractors will need room to park on the Dunkley property. Rief stated if there is a 10 -foot wide flat area that they could drive through, they will do it, and that perhaps they could bring the fence down to the wetlands. Vogstrom indicated he has a bunch of dirt and they are in the process of moving it. Basically the fence would be in the way. Vogstrom asked whether he can go on the Dunkleys' property if the Dunkleys are okay with that. Barnhart stated Mr. Vogstrom has permission to grade according to the grading plan and that the City is suggesting a fence be put up to delineate the property line. Vogstrom asked whether he can go on Dunkleys' property if he has their permission. Curtis questioned why that would be necessary. Vogstrom stated for maneuvering it is easier and quicker. Walsh stated they are trying to solve a problem here that the City did not create and that the City is going to have to do more work to enforce. Walsh asked where Mr. Vogstrom would put the fence. Vogstrom noted the Huelers do not want them coming in Pence. Walsh stated the City Council feels a fence needs to be erected and that they are trying to figure out where the fence should go. Walsh stated if there is some work that requires the fence to be taken down, it can be taken down temporarily, but then it should be put back up. Curtis asked why they could not complete the grading in the area of the fence first and then erect the fence.
