MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO Cn r COUNCIL MEETING <br />Moaday, October 22,2001 <br />7:00 o’clock p.ai. <br />(02640/41 Donbar De«elopmciit,CoBtlnued) <br />Franklin commented he has only learned \%ithin tlie past week that Puzak was considering constructing a <br />septic system rather than hook up to City sewer. Fr^lin suted he can understand the reasons why the <br />Council would condition approval upon resolution of the septic issue, but questioned w hether a private <br />septic system would be appropriate in this area since it is located on the lakeshore. <br />Flint inquired whether Franklin was wilting to grant the easement at no cost to Puzak or whether he <br />would be charging him for the easement. <br />Franklin staled he is agreeable to granting the easement to Pu/ak at no cost. <br />White stated in his opinion the sewer issue should be resolved prior to approval. W'hiie pointed out the <br />Applicant probably will not be starting his project until the springtime, which would give him time to <br />resolve il is issue. <br />Flint indicated he is not w illing to give approval to this application without the septic being icsolved. <br />Nygard stated he is more likely to approve this application subject to the septic since Franklin is in <br />attendance at this meeting and is indicating he is agreeable to granting an easement. <br />Franklin stated he would like to develop his property as well, noting he also is in need of sewer. <br />Franklin stated it would make sense to share the cost of extending the sewer line. <br />Flint suggested the Council approve this plan conceptually tonight as it relates to hardcover and <br />setback, subject to the plan being revised showing four bedrooms and subject to the sewer issues being <br />resolved. Flint inquired what the proper procedure would be for the Applicant if his plan is <br />conceptually approved tonight. <br />Franklin commented the design of the house doesn’t really impact the sewer issue if it is connected to <br />City sewer. <br />Flint stated the Council needs to know definitively whether there will be a connection to City sewer <br />before approving the size of the house. <br />Puzak stated currently he has five-bedrooms in two dwelling units. Puzak stated the house originally <br />was built as a duple.x prior to the current zoning. Puzak stated he is w illing to give up one building unit <br />in order to constnict a new residence as well as relocate the structure off of the lot line. <br />Flint noted the Applicant is increasing the footprint by SO percent. <br />Weinberger stated the Council could approve the plan before them tonight or they could allow the <br />Applicant to make some minor changes to the plan that is before them. Weinberger commented that <br />many times Applicants will make minor modifications to their house plan after approval is received. <br />Weinberger stated that does give Puzak some flexibility to redesign his plan, but Staff w ould prefer <br />some level of assurance bv given that the house plan will not be significantly modified. <br />PAGE 19
