NONUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 12,1997 <br />(#6 - #2222 Joseph Vochko - Continued) <br />Goetten said some of her concerns were answered after speaking with the applicant. She <br />asked Cook to comment. <br />Cook was informed of the slope of the hill, the hdght of the wall, and the boulders being <br />placed in "pockets'*. Cook said he was comfortable with the use of large b oulders which <br />should be fairly stable. <br />Jabbour noted that the Council cannot give direction regarding safety and engineering but <br />address only the aesthetics and hardcover issues. <br />Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3898. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays <br />0. <br />(Mayor/Council Report follows Agenda Item 12) <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />(*#11) APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISE FOR <br />BIDS - BAY RIDGE/BRACKETTS POINT SEWER PROJECT - RESOLUTION <br />NO. 3900 <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3900 approving the plans <br />and specifications and ordering advertisement for bids. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />(#12) COUNTY ROAD 19/TONKA VIEW DRAINAGE SITUATION <br />Property owners, John Bessessen and Kathy Sawicki, were present to discuss this issue. <br />Gappa said work began last summer to make improvements regarding drainage problems <br />by use of ditching and rip-rap and an overlay on CoRd 19 to reduce the amount of water <br />traveling down that road. This did not solve the problem. The two property owners <br />have incurred $46,000 in damages in 1996. History of the problems are relayed in the <br />report. <br />Gappa said the best solution is to create a ponding area to limit the flow into the existing <br />culvert that runs under CoRd 19 to divert water flow from Tonkaview. The engineering <br />cost reflects regrading of the intersection with catch basins and a storm sewer by the <br />ponding area to reduce flow into the lake. Conversations have been held wth the <br />property owmer where the pond is to be created. Gappa said it is his intention to present <br />this recommendation to the Council to obtain approval to proceed vrith the concept. <br />Jabbour asked if the land in question is currently wetlands. Cook said the property is <br />more pasture land that is not maintained. It is not wet.
