MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Tuesday, May 2G, 2015 7:00 o'clock p.m. 7. #15-3723 SOURCE LAND CAPITAL — LAKEVIEW PROPERTY — 405 NORTH ARM DRIVE — FINAL PLAT APPLICATION — 2ND PRELIMINARY REVIEW (eontanued) Staff met with the applicants and the City Engineer last week and all engineering issues have or will shortly be resolved. Gaffron noted the draft development agreement is currently being reviewed by the applicants. The proposed private road names include Lakeview Parkway for the main road, with cul-de-sacs proposed to be known as Augusta Street, St. Andrews Street, Lakeview Court, and Pinehurst Court. Gaffron stated the attached materials are being presented tonight for Council review and consideration. The Council should identify any issues of concerns that should be addressed prior to final plat approval scheduled for the June 8 Council meeting. The City Council had no questions for Staff. Donna Hager, 4580 West Branch Road, noted at the December 8 meeting, she was assured that the septic system that was going to be placed close behind her home was going to be relocated. Hager indicated she is here tonight to find out whether it will be moved. Pat Hiller, Applicant, stated in the plat being reviewed tonight, the septic site is in the existing location until additional septic testing can be completed on the new location. Hiller stated until that testing is completed and verified, they are not able to show it on the plat. Hiller indicated they have not been able to complete that testing yet due to the wet spring, but that it is still their plan to move the primary system further away from Ms. Hager's yard. Hager noted it has been a long spring already and that she would really like to know before any final approval is put on the plan since she was assured that it would be changed. Hiller stated this application has been going through a lengthy approval process and that it was not feasible to stop the process to relocate one septic site. Hiller indicated he is fine with language being included in the resolution to that effect. Hiller stated it is their intention to move the primary site but that it has not been possible to complete the testing up to this point. Hager asked if the septic site will be moved. Hiller indicated the septic site will be moved if the septic testing confirms the tentative location will work. Hager noted the lot consists of 4.5 acres and that in her view there should be alternate septic sites available outside of the proposed location. Hiller stated his septic inspector is fairly certain that the alternate site will be fine. Hager asked if there will be another alternate site if that location does not work. Hiller indicated they will do their best to find an alternative site if necessary. Page 4 of 22
