MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,February 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr.Mueller asked if it would be his expense to find out how deep the City put the pipe in. <br /> Walsh stated regardless of whether the Muellers find out how deep the service line is, it still comes back <br /> to the issue of the Muellers needing an easement and the applicant can put the road on his property. <br /> Printup suggested,to make the resident feel more comfortable in this situation,the City can easily find <br /> out how deep it is. As far as the condition,that's another story. <br /> Walsh and Printup agreed that would be an issue for Edwards. <br /> Seals noted Edwards was not present. <br /> Johnson stated there are two separate issues which are not mutually exclusive to each other. One is the <br /> road and what responsibility does the City have if they created the issue. He said if this is a private sewer <br /> line and the resident picked the location because it was less money,that would be a consideration. <br /> Mr. Mueller said they paid a lot of money for the service to the City. <br /> Johnson said if he was Mr.Mueller,he would be concerned about his utility not being in his care, <br /> custody, and control and he is responsible for it. On the other hand,there is the road. <br /> Walsh said he would like to tie it all together. The only thing he is hearing that should be added is <br /> Edwards should document from the Mueller property line up to the connection what the depth is, which <br /> may change,but have a graph of the depth so the Muellers and the City know what it is. <br /> Mr.Mueller said he knows the applicant will put a driveway there and that is not his problem. His <br /> concern is, a year from now he does not want to spend a lot of money replacing someone's driveway <br /> because his line got damaged because of construction. <br /> Crosby said that was understandable. <br /> Printup stated he believes he heard Mr.Azad say he would tie it in that the driveway is the responsibility <br /> of the new homeowner. <br /> Mr. Azad confirmed his comment. <br /> Walsh suggested tabling this matter until the next Council meeting so all the information could be <br /> gathered to work on getting an easement,and Rief agreed to get the information. <br /> Mr. Azad said he had no problem with that. <br /> Crosby commented that the Muellers want to be protected,too,which makes sense. <br /> Johnson asked if Mr.Azad had a location for the house that would be going on the property. <br /> Mr. Azad said he did not;they want to put in a driveway first. It is two acres so there is plenty of room. <br /> Page 8 of 15 <br />
