MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 10,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 14. LA21-000017—JOSEPH& SARA THULL,480 BIG ISLAND,PERMIT FOR DOCK ON <br /> CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY(BAY PLACE)—UPDATE—Continued <br /> access is not next door to anyone's cottage or home and she finds that might be a good solution and have <br /> it capped at 7 boats. <br /> Walsh asked if the Thiss' are next to Judson's. <br /> Ms. Thiss replied it goes Judson's,Fames', Saari's, and then Thiss'. She said having a public/rental dock <br /> next to the park in Cruiser's Cove makes sense to her. <br /> Peter Thiss noted there is a defined road and people utilize it in the winter for construction materials and <br /> it is accessible for all the houses up there.He noted it is a low-impact area. Going down through Ms. <br /> Fames' and Jud's it is literally a drainage ditch,it floods,will not be accessible in heavy rains,and <br /> becomes a real problem. <br /> Ms. Thiss has walked through there and is full of water,nettles, snakes, and lizards. <br /> Mr.Thiss believes the other area proposed is low impact,easy,does not affect any residents, and will <br /> work for everybody. <br /> Crosby asked how close the area on Cruiser's Cove would be to where the boats are anchored and <br /> docked. <br /> Ms. Thiss said the Deggendorf family has a family dock,there is one cottage and a sign on the dock that <br /> says"private."She thinks putting a private sign on is a good solution and pointed out someone could <br /> walk on her dock,as well. <br /> Barnhart looked at the resolution that previously approved the dock;the way is written is: should there be <br /> any other requests from inland property owner to use the site,the permit is automatically revoked. He <br /> clarified it is not an approval or denial question,it is when a request comes forward the Council at that <br /> time felt the need to look at it more comprehensively like they are doing now. <br /> Walsh said once the applicant puts an approval in,they get it and the other person is out. <br /> Barnhart replied once they make the request,the other person is out and the Council decides who gets it. <br /> John Uran, 140 Big Island,is right next to the 90-foot easement. He asked if the Council puts a dock in <br /> down there,would they guarantee that they would not fill in the wetland to make docks down there. <br /> Walsh can guarantee he is not going to fill in any wetlands down there. <br /> Mr. Uran remembered one time Orono said they would not fill any wetland for anyone. He said they filled <br /> in 5-8 feet of the wetland on the 90-foot easement; someone needs to take a survey of that wetland and the <br /> Page 11 of 34 <br />
