MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 9, 2020 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Mr. Gamble stated he understands these are the last two lots of people that used to own the farm. Zoning <br />changed along the way and somehow it got zoned separate. Obviously, there was an intention that the lots <br />be developed separately and in a different manner. <br />Crosby asked for the zoning on the lots. <br />Barnhart said that south of the inlet, it is zoned LR113. <br />Walsh stated the wooded area is 1/2 -acre. <br />Walsh reiterated if the applicant can build an argument that shows the Council that this needs a resolution <br />that shows a practical difficulty which makes sense, he would be supportive of it. <br />Mr. Gamble said it makes sense to make the attempt for the benefit of the City. <br />Seals stated it would be up to Mr. Gamble because that is why the property owners hired him. <br />u VMV11 .1 Y <br />Seals had nothing to report. <br />Johnson had nothing to report. <br />Crosby asked residents to use common sense regarding the coronavirus: handwashing, being cautious, <br />staying home from work when not feeling well, and being respectful of others. He stated there is no <br />reason to panic and noted the flu epidemic has taken about 50,000 people in the United States this year. If <br />people are prudent and do not go into a panic, it will benefit everyone greatly. <br />Walsh noted spring break is coming up and a lot of people will need to make a decision as to whether to <br />travel or not. He asked everyone to be safe. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br />Rief said they survived the elections, noting that Staff was at the office until 1:00 AM and back early the <br />next morning. The new rules are complicated and there will be a lot of feedback. Staff is aware of the <br />coronavirus and will be keeping track of things and ready if it comes up. <br />CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br />Monge had nothing to report <br />Page 17 of 18 <br />
