MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 8, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 21 of 23 <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Walsh said they would be willing to listen to whatever the Applicant has. <br /> <br />Printup thinks a lot of the neighbors are okay with how it is now. <br /> <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 /> <br />Crosby does not have a problem with the design aspect it is more the density aspect. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Edwards said that is correct, they made four overweight stops today. <br /> <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 /> <br />Seals also did the polar plunge. She is pumped that the middle schoolers are back and today was their <br />first day. It is very exciting. She hopes soon they can get outside and do more activities – she said their <br />parks need to be open soon. <br /> <br />Johnson received a thank you note on the trail and he thanked Edwards and his crew for keeping that <br />going. It was a good pilot program and perhaps they will receive some follow up from Olson on Three <br />Rivers when they were here. It makes a huge difference and the comment was that the ice is already off <br />of it by and large because the City was plowing it. It was used a lot and he is glad they did that. Tanager <br />is closed and it is good on his end over there, it is so peaceful on Shoreline Drive. He is receiving a lot of <br />questions on how long it will be closed and he noted they are taking down the hill there. He took a <br />picture of a truck on top of the hill taking trees down and said it must be 50 feet high. <br /> <br />Crosby asked if that hill was checked for burial ground. <br /> <br />Edwards replied yes it was. <br /> <br />Johnson said it was from when they cut the channel through there.
