MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 27, 2020 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 16 Walsh stated Mattick spoke on the issue at the last meeting, who said the City cannot tie something in from an enforcement position to a CUP because it is unrelated. He said unless there is something different regarding the issue, the Council does not have a lot they can do to hold up the CUP. Mr. Eric Vogstrom, 2710 Pence Lane, said he wanted to clarify that they feel confident they will prevail regarding the lake violation but agreed it is not relevant in this situation. They have not had an issue with the driveway for a long time. He said he talked to Roger when the frost first came out of the ground, and they have had 90% of the traffic come through Walters Port and a very small amount come in through Pence. The agreement is that none of the people from his place can cross over to the Dunkleys’, and it has not happened in a long time. He stated for anyone to allege the traffic from Dunkleys’ is coming across from Pence is absolutely ridiculous. He was told once or twice in the last 4-5 months from Roger to fix the driveway. It was done, and he has not heard anything in months about the driveway not being compliant or up-to-speed. He noted all of the violations are for Walters Port, not Pence, and are not related to the Pence Lane project. He hopes the Council members did their research, and they will find that most of the stuff he is saying is correct. Seals moved to approve Resolution No. 7093 - LA20-000016 – Paul Thomas Design Build, 2710 Pence Lane, Conditional Use Permit. Seals asked if the Council could direct Staff to review the condition of the driveway because she believed that was one of the conditions of the subdivision. She wanted to have Staff review it and keep it a separate issue because they should not be intertwined. Johnson asked if Staff entered a complaint. He said he received a letter and video showing the driveway conditions. He does not know if there is a provision that it needs to be Class 5 or rock, etc. Barnhart stated Staff does not create a Code Enforcement Complaint for each building issue/complaint for active building permits. They work through those with the inspection process. Johnson said in this case, he would recommend entering the most recent complaint from the property owner so they can track that specific complaint about the condition of the driveway. Johnson seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Ayes 5 (Crosby, Johnson, Printup, Seals, Walsh), Nays 0. PUBLIC HEARING 18. LA20-000023, KELLEY PARROW O/B/O WEIS BUILDERS, 2635 KELLEY PARKWAY, RPUD AMENDMENT Staff presented a summary of packet information. Staff recommends approval subject to comments and conditions. Walsh noted the only issue people had was regarding the lights, because they do not want them pointing at them, etc. He said there should be down-pointing lights and asked if that was part of the recommendation.
