ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> � MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2003 <br /> � 8. #03-2951 Jccdi�h and James Pierpo�it, 1849 and 1801 West Farm Road—I_ot <br /> Li�te Rearrange�rte�ct—Corttinued <br /> conversion, and it never happened. <br /> Sansevere asked if another CUP would solve the problem. Mayor Peterson stated it�vould <br /> not unless they removed the kitchen. <br /> Gaffron stated they would have to remove the kitchen under a plumbing for accessory <br /> structure CUP, or receive a variance for the acreage required for the guesthouse. Gaffron <br /> stated that the sink is the primary factor that makes the kitchen, as other fixtures such as <br /> stove and refrigerator can be merely purchased and "plugged in." <br /> Mrs. Pierpont stated that she is afraid if the sink were removed, the pipes would freeze <br /> and back up into the rest of the plumbing. <br /> Sansevere stated he felt a stove made a kitchen. <br /> Gaffron stated a kitchen is defined by use, not the appliances installed. He stated if the <br /> Pierponts apply for a CUP, the discussion would center on what needs to be pulled out. <br /> Mrs. Pierpont stated that the stable had a sink in it before they bought the property. <br /> Gaffron asked Mrs. Pierpont if they really need to move the lot lines. She replied not <br /> necessarily. Gaffron stated that if the application went away, the City would be faced <br /> with enforcing use of the original CUP from 1990, which has never resulted in a <br /> complaint. <br /> Mrs. Pierpont stated that her younger son has a strong interest in the property, and so <br /> she'd be willing to put a deed on the property as it wi111ikely stay in the family. <br /> Gaffron stated that the CUP for plumbing in an accessory structure would not be intended <br /> for overnight use. <br /> Mayor Peterson suggested the Pierponts apply for a CUP application. She asked what <br /> needed to be done about the road then. Gaffron stated nothing would need to be done. As <br /> long as the properties remained owned by the Pierponts, there would be no issue. I�1ost <br /> likely, the road, which passes through lot 14, wouId be dealt with should the lots ever <br /> come under separate o�vnership. <br /> Sansevere asked that if the Pierponts got the CUP, then removed the kitchen, got in rivo <br /> sewer hookups, then could they move the lot line at a later time and put the kitchen back <br /> in. The sons couid then subdivide the property should they take ownership of the property <br /> some day. Mrs. Pierpont stated their intent was to take care of everything themselves so <br /> 14 <br />
