MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 22, 2004 7.00 o’clock p.m. toward the pond as an amenity. They provided a lirt’.e bit better focus toward the center of the site opposed to totally focusing towards Highway 12. The traffic engineer hasn’t looked the circulation and parking issues yet. Gaffron stiU thinks there is potential for impact on the neighborhood but they understand the need for screening will be cnttcal. The last plan Gaffron reviewed was not complete in many wa>-s and could be changed in a number of ways. Tlie key issue for Gaffron was that they went away from three separate uses, now we’re down to two uses, a drivc-tlvu issue usurping the west end amenity, a pond that sneaks through in-between the two halves of the building. He stated they are getting closer, but not there yet. Plan 23 was introduced to staff and Council and is made a record of these minutes. (and is attached widi my paperwork). Sansevere staled that as far as he is concerned the applicant will proceed further if they keep in mind Gaflron's recommendations. Plan 23 splits one retail building on the west to accommodate a drive-through bervieen the buildings. Murphy noted the changes to the Walgreen site and inquired how Walgreen’s feels about the changes and will they do what is needed. The applicant responded they have seen this plan and turning the building they can accept. This building now has less parking around their front door which they don’t like, but getting a drive-thru on the east side maybe more acceptable. Their pnmary response was that applicant should come back to them after they have something that can be passed by the Council. There is no certainly, but the applicant has confidence. CVS Phannacy may have an interett, but ate not being approached at this time. 1,1 • i * ^^B23of29 iliiiiiilli.iliiyililiiiliili;I14 ;i illli11:. ii :i 1 ii :it 4
