MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPFEMBER 13, 1993 MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT (A) Infoniiation on Proposal for Development of the Southwest Corner of Willow and County Road 6 Mayor Callahan thought the memo was asking if the Council would consider rezoning this area from one-acre to two-acre zoning and if they would consider the Lundgren Brothers application without any preliminary intormation. Kelley, Goctien, Jabbour and Major Callahan responded they would not consider this request while Hurr thought she would need more background. Mayor Callahan noted there is a procedure to bring a rezoning request before the Council which was not followed. Terr>' Forbord, Vice President of Lundgren Brothers, apologized for any confusion over their request. They were looking for direction as to whether the Council would consider a rezoning request before they proceed with a formal application. Mayor Callahan suggested they proceed through the proper channels if they want further consideration. Forbord indicated that in discussions with staff Uiere was a feeling that it may be appropriate to bring this concept before the Council.
