MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,June 22,2015 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> McGrann stated if it goes to 120 days,the City will likely hear more questions from the neighbors,which <br /> is why the 60 days was selected. McGrann stated he would prefer to go longer hours with the shorter <br /> time period. <br /> Anderson stated when the fill becomes available,they will move the fill. Anderson noted the contractor <br /> for Watertown Road approached him about fill,but because the project was not yet approved,he was not <br /> able to accept it. <br /> McGrann stated he would rather have expanded hours than an extended time period. <br /> Walsh noted at the Planning Commission meeting the applicant did not express any concern with the 60- <br /> day time frame. <br /> Anderson indicated that was the first time he heard about that. Anderson asked if they could make the <br /> hours consistent during the week and on the weekends and have it from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.,which is what is <br /> allowed in the ordinance. <br /> Curtis stated at this point it is up to the City Council to decide what they feel is appropriate. <br /> David Martini,Consulting City Engineer, stated in his view the 60 days seems more than adequate to <br /> move 3,000 cubic yards. Martini stated the issue is that the timing is more related to obtaining the fill <br /> when it is available from a single source. Martini stated the reality of when this can be done is related to <br /> when and where the material is available. Martini stated if the material is available, 60 days should be <br /> enough time to move the material,but that what could happen is that 100 yards of material might become <br /> available from one place, it is moved to the site, but then it might be another 20 days before they are able <br /> to get more material. <br /> Levang stated the City is trying to avoid the starting and stopping of the hauling, but that she is hearing <br /> that is not possible at this point. <br /> Anderson stated he is not sure when he can start,and once that is determined,he can start picking up the <br /> phone and finding fill. <br /> Walsh stated he would rather have expanded hours than an expanded time frame. <br /> Printup stated he is okay with the expanded hours. Printup questioned what the City should do to avoid <br /> the stopping and starting of the hauling. <br /> Walsh stated everyone will need to move as quickly as they can and that the City Council can include the <br /> language suggested by City Attorney Mattick. <br /> McMillan asked if he has any identified sources for the fill at this time. <br /> Anderson stated he does not at this time outside of Watertown Road,which may no longer be available. <br /> Levang suggested changing Point No. 4 to read, hauling will be allowed between the hours of 7 a.m.to 8 <br /> p.m.,but equipment will be allowed from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. <br /> Page 9 of 19 <br />
