MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCILMEETING HELD ON <br />DECEMBER 8,1997 <br />Moorse said the Council may want to ask the applicant to provide traffic information <br />since this is the only way out of the subdivision and is of major concern. <br />Jabbour said the majority of the application meets the code, though, he would like to <br />have seen the project meeting the affordable housing criteria. He indicated the cul-de- <br />sac requirement would not be met but noted the plan is for saving trees. Jabbour said the <br />applicant must demonstrate the hardship to deviate from the cul-de-sac requirement. <br />ir <br />Gleason said the drive is meant to be a private drive, will be marked and made to appear <br />as such. The hammerhead was considered to provide room for a turnaround. Jabbour <br />noted that most of the roads in the City are private roads. Jabbour said he sees no <br />hardship demonstrated. Gleason asked if trees were considered a hardship. Jabbour said <br />the problem could be satisfied by eliminating two homes and installing a cul-de-sac <br />noting the requirement is law. Kelley said he had questioned whether the Council was <br />considering not requiring the applicant to adhere to the law. <br />Peterson said she also was concerned with the issue of the cul-de-sac. She asked Barrett <br />to look into the use of the word, "may ”. Barrett said he would do so. He feels there is <br />reason for plausible discretion by the applicant with the language, "may obtain".
