MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 22 of 46 <br /> <br />Bollis asked what the other way would be. <br /> <br />Erickson commented her family hasn't had a dock since 1974. Then they made a deal with the neighbor. <br />They haven't used a right-of-way for dock purposes; no one has. <br /> <br />Libby said there seems to be an elephant in the room, which is the fact that there is at least hearsay from <br />people who have lived on the island for a long time and have been served by the underwater electrical that <br />there would be a hazardous condition established by granting. He asked if Staff has engineering reports or <br />utility service surveys that would disprove that. <br /> <br />Ressler indicated not in the application. <br /> <br />Curtis stated that was correct and noted it would be something that Staff could obtain but it is not <br />information Staff has right now. <br /> <br />Ressler reminded everyone that the application will go to City Council before anything becomes <br />finalized. The discussion is appreciated, but there is probably a lot more preparation required. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 1 (Bollis). <br /> <br />5. LA19-000087 MELISSA MUSGJERD, 4156 HIGHWOOD ROAD, RIGHT-OF-WAY <br />VACATION, 8:28 P.M. - 9:06 P.M. <br /> <br />William Griffith and the applicants, Scott and Melissa Musgjerd, were present. <br /> <br />Curtis presented a summary of packet memorandum. <br /> <br />Ressler clarified Curtis' comments that the DNR has not formally weighed in but indicated they would be <br />opposed. <br /> <br />Curtis confirmed his statement. <br /> <br />Ressler stated in the DNR's opinion there is not a public benefit in vacating the right-of-way and <br />eliminates what could be or already is public use. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated his statement was true. <br /> <br />Erickson said, if the DNR opposes, they do not have the authority to veto. <br /> <br />Curtis stated that is true. <br />
