MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, May 26, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />Google/MapQuest to let them know it is a one-way road and they stop directing people to go the wrong <br />way on a one-way road. <br /> <br />Edwards stated the CUP restricts access onto/out of the private property. Woodhill is a two-way street all <br />the way through the public corridor. <br /> <br />Walsh said MapQuest took him all the way to Janie Delaney’s house from the golf course. <br /> <br />Crosby clarified that Walsh went the wrong way through the one-way. The exit is a one-way coming in; <br />he went the other way when going out. <br /> <br />Edwards said he wanted it clear that the City road is a full-width, two-way street. The only restriction is <br />the in and out based on the CUP, which he did not think Google or Mapquest would have access to or an <br />algorithm to figure out. <br /> <br />Walsh said no one would police it or put a gate up, but the expectation of the neighbors is that is what it is <br />supposed to be. <br /> <br />Crosby stated he understands the golf course uses it for deliveries and things of that nature. The problem <br />is, the people that live in the area, instead of driving all the way around, make the shortcut go the wrong <br />way. He was not for the speed bumps, but he has a better understanding of why they are there after seeing <br />it in person. Ultimately, he would like Woodhill to be a true one-way. He did not think it would happen <br />because everyone is looking for the straightest way to get to a point. He is in favor of keeping the speed <br />humps with the CUP as part of the deal. <br /> <br />Walsh noted that is part of what the City signed up for, and also managing the CUP and putting it in <br />place. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to keep the speed bumps on the roadway. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Crosby said he wanted to talk about what Memorial Day means and represents to different people. People <br />have lost family members both distant and not-so-distant. All of our country’s veterans are heroes; the <br />people that have died for this country are exceptional heroes. He personally is extremely grateful for their <br />sacrifices and thinks about it often. Their sacrifices are never made in vain. They helped give our citizens <br />their freedom, going back to the times of the Revolutionary War, and the United States has done more to <br />liberate the world and give other countries freedom than anybody else on the planet. We need to be very <br />proud of our veterans, especially the men and women that perished in battle. <br /> <br />Printup stated he is very happy that Orono is open and opening further, and also happy with the resolution <br />helping restaurants with flexibility to make Orono open and great. Economic recovery needs to begin in <br />the State because it is becoming less of a health issue and more of an economic travesty. There was <br />concern about how to open up and what City Hall/Council Chambers would look like, and you can run <br />into more people getting gas at the gas station or waiting in line at the grocery store. It has been proven <br />that great things can be done in Orono. Road construction is getting started, and he thanked Edwards for <br />his help with a potential drainage/flooding issue due to construction on his street. With the success and <br />popularity with Spring Clean-Up/Dump Day, they are starting to work on a Fall Clean-Up/Dump Day for
