ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR JUNE 22, 1998 (#15) Robert and Julie Hanning-Request for an Agreement Related to a Future Subdivision at 4220 Sixth Avenue North -continued Gaffron suggested the Hannings file an application and get an answer before the hearing on September 23rd. Mrs. Hanning stated she would like some action by the City Council on this matter. Radio noted a motion was not necessary or appropriate at this time. Mayor Jabbour directed City Staff to draft a letter to the Hannings stating the facts, noting that the property line for the second lot is undesirable according to Orono ordinances and causes other concerns for the first lot. (#16) REVISED RESOLUTION REGARDING THE RELEASE OF THE TAX FORFEITED PARCEL AT 1960 SHORELINE DRIVE -RESOLUTION NO. 4105 Moorse stated the resolution has been amended regarding the release of the tax forfeited parcel at 1960 Shoreline Drive to reflect the City Council's wishes that the outstanding special assessments on the property be waived and that the tax forfeited parcel be allowed to remain a separate parcel, subject to a covenant being placed on the parcel prohibiting the parcel from being a buildable lot. Mayor Jabbour expressed concern that the building should be condemned and torn down due to public safety issues. Kelley indicated he also was in favor of that. Gaffron noted the petroleum tanks were removed 10 or 15 years ago. Kelley inquired what impact this has had on the sewer in the area. Mayor Jabbour stated the sewer was disconnected and capped on behalf of the owner. Tom Radio recommended the City Council add the condition that the property owner waive any right to object to a hazardous building procedure with the costs being assessed against the property owner. Flint commented that it should be made clear that the City is not condemning the land but the building. Goetten stated she would be in favor of condemning the building but not the land. 18
