City Council Meeting 21 <br /> November 13,2000 <br /> from Sugarwoods. Mr. Gill stated it was both. Mr. Dunbar stated that the drawings are <br /> deceptive because they don't necessarily show the effect of the topography. Because the <br /> housing would be set downhill from Sugarwoods, only the very top of the building would <br /> be visible from the neighbors' homes. Mr. Dunbar stated that the development is as <br /> small as it can go: any smaller and it ceases to be financially viable. <br /> Mayor Jabbour stated that at this point the neighbors should offer input as to landscaping <br /> to help disguise the development. Mr. Dunbar stated that he would hold neighborhood <br /> meetings and go on site with the neighbors to work out landscaping issues. Flint stated <br /> that the best way to protect Orono's beauty is to say yes to the right developer. Mayor <br /> Jabbour stated that the project could provide Sugarwoods with a sound buffer to Highway <br /> 12. <br /> Steve Schrole, of 2006 Sugarwoods, stated that he is concerned with traffic congestion <br /> and flow. It currently takes a long time to turn left onto Highway 12 from Brown Road. <br /> Mayor Jabbour stated they expect a light to be installed at that intersection, and it will <br /> coincide with the development opening. <br /> • Mayor Jabbour stated that the City will have some control over the development because <br /> they are issuing bonds and possibly TIF financing. He reminded the neighbors that they <br /> will be able to offer input into things like the hours kept. the type of lights used, burms, <br /> trees, etc. <br />
