MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,October 28,2019 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Walsh commented he appreciates the applicants reducing it down to 20 percent structural coverage and <br /> 39.6 percent hardcover as well as keeping the road wider,which is good for the neighborhood. <br /> Printup stated he is hearing 20 percent structural coverage, but he reads 26 percent in Staff's report. <br /> Walsh noted the 20 percent is without the road and that the City Council at the last meeting indicated they <br /> would be willing to not include the road. <br /> Johnson stated the lot area with the road is 11,000 some square feet and with the road eliminated it <br /> becomes a 14,000 square foot lot. Johnson stated in his view it is consistent with the density in the rest of <br /> the neighborhood and that he would be in favor of it. <br /> Johnson asked what the no parking relates to. <br /> Quinlivan noted no street parking was brought up at the last meeting and how it limits emergency vehicle <br /> access. Both homeowners are okay with no parking on either side of the street. <br /> Walsh noted this is a private street. <br /> Curtis stated Crystal Bay Road is a public road. <br /> Walsh stated the City maintains the road, but they do not own it. The City does not have a right-of-way <br /> and they do not have an easement. Because the City does not own the road,they cannot erect no parking <br /> signs. <br /> Johnson moved,Printup seconded,Application No.LA19-000069,Gordon James Construction on <br /> behalf of Dale and Jonmari Olsen,3315 Crystal Bay Road,directing Staff to draft an approval <br /> resolution granting a street side setback variance,rear and side yard setback variances,a lakeshore <br /> variance,an average lakeshore setback variance,and a structural coverage variance due to the <br /> practical difficulty of the road being included in the total lot area calculation. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Seals reported the Bederwood project is currently underway and looks amazing. The Park Commission <br /> has requested she contact the United Team to come for the grand opening. <br /> Seals stated she also spoke with the Park Commission about the golf course and the City's plans included <br /> installation of a really fancy fire pit at a cost of around$26,000. Following discussion, it was felt it <br /> would be better to have a small fire pit with a gas insert that can be stored away. <br /> Seals moved to approve construction of a fire pit with a gas inset at the Orono Golf Course. <br /> Edwards asked if the other fire pit item would be removed totally from the Capital Improvement Plan. <br /> Seals indicated that it would be. <br /> Johnson seconded the motion.
