Hiller noted they are spending quite a bit of money on this <br />development and that a reduction in the fees allows them to put that money into other amenities. Hiller <br />stated they truly appreciate it. <br /> <br />McMillan stated the City is also appreciative of the unique conservation areas that are being created as <br />part of this development. <br /> <br />Gaffron requested an update on the mercury removal. <br /> <br />Hiller stated once they receive final approval from the City, the very first task on the site will be to go <br />ahead and start the mercury removal. Hiller indicated the top 12 to 18 inches of soil will be scraped off <br />and taken to a landfill. Hiller noted they have performed hundreds of soil borings on the site and that they <br />have identified each area and how deep they have to go. Hiller stated once that is complete, the site will <br />be perfectly clean from that standpoint. Hiller noted they have their permit already from the Watershed <br />District for that removal. <br /> <br />Levang asked when they anticipate removing the buildings on the site. <br /> <br />Hiller stated he would expect that to be started by the end of June if this is approved on June 8, and that <br />he will be following up with the police and fire departments. <br /> <br />Levang stated she was a little concerned about vandalism and noted the doors to the little shed are open. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated Staff will follow up with Ms. Hager’s request and make sure Staff is totally <br />comfortable with it. <br /> <br />Cornick stated he would like to remind Mr. Hiller about his informal commitment to naming one of the <br />streets after a famous Orono hero. <br /> <br />Hiller noted they have the streets named already. <br /> <br />Cornick stated at some point in the future he would personally like to see one of the streets named after a <br />hero from the City of Orono. <br /> <br />Levang stated that will probably need to be done on a future development. <br /> <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> <br />*8. #15-3735 CHAMBERLAIN CAPITAL, LLC – 10 MYRTLEWOOD ROAD, VARIANCES, <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6514 <br /> <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6514, a Resolution Granting <br />Variances from Orono Municipal Code Sections 78-420, for the property located at 10 Myrtlewood <br />Road.
