MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 13, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 14 of 19 <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak said he was not. Over the years the cabin property has been rented recreationally and people <br />have used the cabin and docks. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if there was a boat fire at the location. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak agreed that there was. He said he hoped they could address the issue of the extension of the <br />road and the lot combination, not the docks. <br /> <br />Walsh noted curiosity killed the cat because there are so many docks there and there was a legal renter <br />who burned down his boat out there. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak said he is allowed four boats per structure. <br /> <br />Johnson stated the Council received feedback from people on Baldur Park that would like to see a cul-de- <br />sac on the road. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak said the people he has talked to are more interested in a hammerhead turnaround which do es <br />not require ¼ acre of pavement. The proposal presented includes the cul-de-sac. <br /> <br />Rief commented that Edwards stated it is a difficult road to plow because there is nowhere for the truck to <br />go when it gets to the end. <br /> <br />Walsh stated it would be hard for deliveries and everyone else, too. With a cul-de-sac, they are solving <br />more problems than creating them. <br /> <br />Johnson asked if there was a conversation at one time to have the cul-de-sac at the beginning instead. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak said at the time it would not fit because they were demanding a 100-foot radius. <br /> <br />Seals commented that it made the most sense for it to be at that location. <br /> <br />Johnson noted it is an awesome lot with water on both sides of the property. It is hard to believe that <br />houses could fit in there; it is harder to believe that people would drive past these two houses and go to <br />the cul-de-sac. The road is on the water. <br /> <br />Crosby said he would be worried about the elevation because of the history of flooding, et cetera. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak stated the driveway did not flood in 2014, although the rest of Badur Park Road flooded. <br />Council Members agreed that was a good test. <br /> <br />Crosby asked whether the end of the property had enough elevation not to flood. <br /> <br />Mr. Puzak stated the whole thing was dry. <br /> <br />Walsh said the biggest issue to talk about is subdividing and having lots that are non-conforming. The <br />Council has never done that, they don’t do that, and there are many people in Crystal Bay that want to <br />subdivide but it’s not allowed. If the Council would start making non-conforming lots, there are density
