MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, September 14,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Crosby said he's not seeing it either and asked if he's missing something. As Johnson said the developer <br /> could manipulate the line however they want it, for example going 75 feet back and bring everything <br /> forward. <br /> Johnson said the ALS is to protect(in his mind)the existing neighbors already there that had some sort of <br /> use and enjoyment. Just because it's a development he doesn't see why that affords more privilege <br /> because the lot is big enough to break down. <br /> Mayor Walsh said if it was one house, Line A is the line, but once they start breaking up the lots, Line A <br /> is not the line anymore. <br /> Crosby said there is no property there so basically they're moving things forward to create the argument. <br /> Johnson said they could still break things up and adhere to that line. <br /> Crosby is curious to hear the stance of the properties to the West and to the East. <br /> Mayor Walsh said for the sake of argument,the developer just goes and does that, where is the red line <br /> then. <br /> Barnhart asked to clarify the question- if the developer does what. <br /> Walsh said if the property is platted just like it's shown,where would the red line be now, noting the <br /> setback would be 75 feet from the high-water line and it would be right in the marsh. <br /> Johnson said this is the ALS from the Southern part of the lake based on the existing properties. <br /> Walsh responded if it was one property,but if it's not one property,those red lines don't apply and there <br /> are different rules that get appropriated in that case. He clarified that what Barnhart is saying is that <br /> instead of having the ASL be 75 feet in the middle of the marsh,they'd propose Line C as the closest they <br /> can get to the marsh. <br /> Johnson said in an effort to make Lots 1, 2 and 3 feasible,that's what a person would do. <br /> Walsh said to remember that Line A is only because it's one property and once it's delineated into <br /> multiple properties, Line A doesn't exist anymore. <br /> Johnson stated he's not confused as to how they've come to the lines, he's just saying they could develop <br /> it and Lots 1,2 and 3 could be North of the average lakeshore setback and come up with a development <br /> that maintains the neighboring properties. <br /> Walsh is trying to show that the developer doesn't have to do that if it gets platted like this. They can be <br /> right where Line C is without asking permission because once they re-plat it, it's just information that's <br /> not on the map, and the line is actually right in the middle of the marsh. He said this is showing if it was <br /> one property,they would have to build above Line A. <br /> Crosby said wouldn't they need to be cognizant of the neighbors to the East and West. <br /> Page 10 of 26 <br />
