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 /> on City right-of-way,an individual's dock(whoever owns it)has to remove it from City right-of-way <br /> without trespassing on adjacent private property lines. <br /> Walsh thinks that would go without saying. Knowing how hard it is to know where property lines are, it <br /> would behoove everyone to have some kind of marker so people know. <br /> Ms. Champlin noted that is part of the discussion—who is going to do that surveying and demarcation of <br /> the private property lines. She said they actually got it wrong and all the trees she thought were to be cut <br /> down are actually still on her property so they will stay. <br /> Walsh thinks it would behoove them to demark the north and south start and end of the back access. If <br /> Ms. Champlin is worried about her property, she should mark her property. <br /> Ms. Champlin stated they will get a survey with markers from their shoreline up to the road that connects <br /> all the right-of-ways. <br /> Walsh would put the onus on her if she is worried about someone being on her property,to mark the <br /> boundaries of that property. <br /> Ms. Champlin noted there is a lot of wildlife and when there is a storm the wildlife brings ducks and <br /> cranes and she would like to keep it preserved and not very developed. If the City does not mind that she <br /> has a lot of markers demarking whose property is whose,they should not be responsible for corralling <br /> people and keeping them on the City right-of-way. <br /> The Council agreed. <br /> Mr. Thull would like some clarifications. What he thinks he heard Johnson say is that they would prefer <br /> one right-of-way and one dock owner, shared, but are open to different right-of-ways as they are there for <br /> the access. <br /> Johnson replied that is right. <br /> Mr.Thull thinks in the LMCD in terms of length of dock to get out to 3-4 feet of water,can the dock be <br /> to 4 feet of water? <br /> Johnson thinks they keep it at the distance until they figure it out.They are trying to do a reasonable <br /> length(which is somewhat arbitrary)but three sections is 24 feet. Perhaps there is a better location and <br /> one of these access points may be better without having to go way out which is less intrusive to the <br /> neighbors. If they can at least limit the scope for the neighbors,and if that is not a possibility,someone <br /> would have to come back to the Council and say that. <br /> Page 19 of 34 <br />
