re and <br />ant is <br />it the <br />s (one <br />ite.r). <br />/ <br />■r ■mm■ N'- <br />MIMUTl^ OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL HEETING HELD MAT 28, 1985. FACE 6 <br />1903 FERRELL Zoning Adainistrator Mabusth noted that in 1967 the <br />standards changed when the zoning code was revised effecting <br />the applicant. <br />Acting Mayor Frahra explained that it is hard for the City to <br />honor a vernal opinion that was made in 1967. Frahm felt to <br />be fair to the applicant that hr. would consider two building <br />sites, but certainly not three building sites. <br />CounciImenber T. Adams stated that before deciding the <br />Council should see all relevant background information. <br />Councilmember L. Adams symphathized with this type of <br />problem when the owner purchases property imd keeps it with <br />the intent in the future to build on the property only to have <br />the zoning code standards change. Adams stated that he <br />cannot see installing three septic-tank systems on three <br />small lots since the septic tanks will be the permanent <br />system installed there. Adams noted conceptually that he <br />would consider two building sites only because of the problem <br />that the applicant owned the property with the intent to <br />build in the future only to have the zoning code standards <br />change. Adams noted that if it weren't for that reason he <br />would net even consider two building sites. Adams stated <br />that when the septic systems are placed too close together on <br />small lots such as these, there are potential problems with <br />ground water contamination when these systems fail. <br />Acting Mayor Frahm expressed his concern that if the City <br />approved three lots that the City would create a density <br />pocket similar to the Crystal Bay neighborhood in which the <br />City would have to go back in the future to correct the problem <br />by sewering the area. <br />Ward Ferrell staLed that his septic system is 28 years old and <br />has never had a problem witn leakage. Ferrell pointed out <br />that he has paid taxes on the property as if they were <br />buildable lots since 1948 and now he cannot use the property. <br />Ferrell stated that up until two years ago they paid taxes on <br />the two vacant lots as if there were separate building sites. <br />Ferrell noted that two years ago the taxes were lowered from <br />$11,000 to $5,500. Ferrell explained that he has already <br />told his daughter that she can have the lot and he is not going <br />back on his word. Ferrell asked if the City was going to <br />honor what Herb Ross told him years ago. <br />Acting Mayor Frahm stated, in his opinion, no. <br />Mrs. Ferrell asked if the City was going to refund their taxes <br />that they have paid for buildable lots all these years. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson stated that should a variance <br />be applied for that in the review it should be considered what <br />position the applicant would have been in if he had not <br />subdivided the property. ^ <br />?•> ■ <br />i" <br />V <br />i I <br />1 ■ <br />• • <br />... ■« <br />MINUTES OF THE R^ULAR <br />§903 fERJRLLL Coun <br />appl <br />of t <br />Coun <br />seco <br />code <br />#908 A #924 JON SCBBRVE <br />2649 CASCO POINT RD <br />(#908) VARIANCE - RBSOI <br />(#924) CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT - RESOLUTION <br />Jon <br />Assi <br />appl <br />exis <br />pare <br />hard <br />into <br />cond <br />requ( <br />pare: <br />propi <br />seco] <br />note< <br />subj( <br />1) ip <br />may n <br />he reI <br />is SI <br />Actin <br />for t <br />Assis <br />entra <br />entra <br />the u <br />Zonin <br />recent <br />simila <br />Counc. <br />to SU] <br />Jon Sc <br />the he <br />has of <br />able 1 <br />will a <br />the gi
