. . � <br /> MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br /> MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 27, 1997 <br /> asked Olsen said she would prefer the Council vote on the matter. Olsen said she would <br /> like to take the time to evaluate the information before the Council takes a formal vote. <br /> Jabbour informed her the Council will reverse their decision if the review determines the <br /> findings to be other than what has been noted. <br /> Kelley asked Olsen to review dock locations with Staff. <br /> (#14) BURNING PERMITS - STAFF REPORT - ORDINANCE AMENDMENT <br /> Gappa reported the Council reviewed the issue of burning in August. Staff has <br /> concluded that the existing burning policy should be confirmed regarding the size of <br /> fires allowed; namely recreational fires of logs and charcoal3' in width, and log fires of <br /> piles 4' wide, 4' high, and 8' long. Staff believes the size of fires as stated is appropriate <br /> to the density in Orono. Larger fires would be problematic. <br /> Gappa noted the brush disposal site provided this summer was well received. Gappa <br /> indicated that the permits are currently for 30 day time periods and renewable. Staff <br /> proposes annual permits requiring inspection of site, informing the police department <br /> when a fire will be lit, and reinspection if a new permit is requested. No changes in fire <br /> size with the density of development. He feels the larger areas will result in being <br /> further subdivided and should adhere to same regulations. Gappa noted that fires must <br /> be 50' from any building. He indicated that the permits can be revoked. <br /> 29 <br />
