MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, February 24, 2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Edwards agreed with Walsh and said he took the as-built plans for that sewer line. They have good data <br /> for the sewer main and they know the depth of the main, the depth of where the connection connects to <br /> the main, and based off of installation standards on what slopes you can have on a service line, he came <br /> up with the maximum/minimum depth that service line should be at.He also recommended to the <br /> Planning Commission if there was still some concern about that, it could be written into any requirements <br /> that the applicant be required to field locate, which would entail a contractor to come in through the City's <br /> sewer main and run a locator up the sewer service to ascertain the depths under the driveway. He said that <br /> is not something the City would do but it could be done by somebody else. <br /> Walsh noted that the City did not feel it was necessary to do that because they had accurate data and it <br /> was a job the City undertook. <br /> Edwards agreed and stated he did not think the City would need to do that. <br /> Johnson asked whether it was the 222 property that needs the easement. <br /> Walsh stated that was correct. <br /> Johnson noted the neighbors were not present. <br /> Walsh said they were present at the last meeting. He noted the other issue was the easement they have <br /> never had and that their line is under somebody else's property. <br /> Edwards stated it would be an easement between two private properties, not something the City is directly <br /> involved in. The City recommended the 222 property owners get the easement because it protects them <br /> and their continued access to the sewer system. <br /> Walsh said Mr. Azad was nice enough to acknowledge the easement would not be a problem. <br /> Johnson clarified that the variance request is because the easement will reduce the size of the lot. <br /> Walsh, Crosby, and Staff indicated it reduces the lot area. <br /> Walsh said the City Council would be taking the recommendation and approving the variance with the <br /> contingency that an easement is created between the two private parties. <br /> Johnson asked if the City Council was approving a motion to create that. <br /> Staff and Walsh said the City Council would be approving a variance. <br /> Johnson noted it would be based upon something that has not yet happened. <br /> Walsh and Crosby stated it is a variance conditioned upon getting the easement put together between the <br /> two parties. <br /> Mr.Al Azad and Walsh discussed that Mr.Azad would need to get involved and talk with his neighbors <br /> to get the variance. <br /> Page 11 of 15 <br />
