MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 13, 2015 7:00 o'clock p.m. Levang noted Council Member Walsh accused her of meeting privately with Mr. Stickney. Levang asked if that is true. Stickney indicated Council Member Levang did not meet with him privately ever. Walsh indicated he had her mixed up with Mayor McMillan and the Mayor met with him after the meeting. Stickney indicated he met the Mayor outside the office and learned what her intent and goal was and he respects that. Jeff Watson, Attorney -at -Law, stated he would like to be real clear that contractually they do not have more time and that they need preliminary plat approval tonight. Watson noted Mr. Stickney has said that he prefers Plan A but that either plan is acceptable. Watson stated between Plan A and Plan B, the main difference is the location of the cul-de-sac and that they have been clear on what location they prefer. Walsh suggested the City Council provide guidance to Staff for the resolution on the location of the -cul- de-sac and the width of the private driveway. Stickney stated there are only nine mature trees on either plan that will be affected in terms of either location of the cul-de-sac. Stickney stated the original location would allow him to possibly preserve on more mature tree. McMillan asked if that is the cul-de-sac to the south. Gaffron indicated it is road option B. McMillan stated Option B also works well with the tennis court. Cornick moved, Levang seconded, to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution granting preliminary plat approval for Plan B, with Road Option B, subject to Staff conditions, for the property located at 300 Sixth Avenue North. McMillan noted the Council also needs to talk about the width of the driveway and that the applicant would prefer the width to be at 20 feet. Levang indicated she would agree to the 20 feet. Stickney stated that would allow him to preserve the willows as well. Levang moved, Cornick seconded, to amend the motion to allow the width of the driveway at 20 feet.
