MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,March 8,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 27. LA21-000015—WILLIAM STODDARD OB/O MILLER LIVING TRUST,PID 34-118-23-32- <br /> 0002—SKETCH PLAN REVIEW—Continued <br /> could be a nightmare if the Applicant cannot take care of that situation. He thinks a lot of builders are <br /> under the misconception that Orono wants building here—and they really do not. The City has basically <br /> designed it for density to be along Highway 12. <br /> Walsh said even there, on that last development they brought it to the lowest common denominator they <br /> could bring it to. <br /> Crosby noted people move to Orono because they do not want the density. <br /> Mr. Stoddard asked did it just change from high density to the medium density in the last Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> Walsh said yes,and the Council is willing to stick with that,but at the lowest common denominator of the <br /> 3-10 guidance,so they are basically at the 3 guidance. <br /> Mr. Stoddard replied that does not work at all for residential use. He asked if the Council would consider <br /> commercial use or a different use. <br /> Walsh said they would be willing to listen to whatever the Applicant has. <br /> Printup thinks a lot of the neighbors are okay with how it is now. <br /> Walsh stated they are always open to suggestions. For now,they have given guidance. The iteration <br /> previous was the second developer and that was the third time coming back,getting it down to the right <br /> spot. Does that mean that this may not ever work? That could be the case,he does not know. <br /> Crosby does not have a problem with the design aspect it is more the density aspect. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Printup said Tanager Bridge construction started and is diverting a lot of speeding traffic from people who <br /> are not used to 30 mph and are flying right along Brown Road. The police are aware of it and are making <br /> a presence. <br /> Johnson said the Police Chief has four cars patrolling that road. Then he clarified maybe it was that they <br /> have made four stops. <br /> Edwards said that is correct,they made four overweight stops today. <br /> Printup did the polar plunge on Saturday, it was a beautiful day to do it,it is a good cause,and good <br /> energy. <br /> Page 22 of 24 <br />
