CITY of ORONO 3. 4. 3. 6. 7. 8. 9. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. ^ ^ EQB Rules 4410.1100 Subpart 6 provide that the RGU shall order the preparation of an EAW if the evidence presented by the petitioners, proposers and otlier persons or otherwise known to the RGU demonstrates that, because of the nature or location of the proposed project, the project may have the potential for significant environmental effects. The RGU shall deny the petition if the evidence presented fails to demonstrate the project may have the potential for significant environmental effects. The City Council hu: reviewed the evidence presented by the petitioners, proposers and other persons as well as other mfoimation of record pertaining to the development. The Citizen Petition for an EAW has been formally withdrawn by the petitioners and due to the petition beirrg active for one year the City has determined that a decision shall be made regarding whether an EAW shall be required of the applicants. The Citizen’s Petition was reacting to a 6 lot proposal and such proposal has been withdrawn and a 3 lot proposal has been submitted which is looked at favorably by the petitioners. The proposal for a 3 lot subdivision significantly reduces the potential for significant environmental impacts. The environmental issues raised by the petitioners do not pose the potential for significant environmental effects, as discussed in the City Council memorandum dated March 4,2004. The City Council finds that the concerns raised in the Citizen Petition have been and will continually be addressed as the applicants continue through the subdivision process and preliminary and final approval will not be given until all issues are settled throu^ the Planning Commission ard City Council approvals.
