MIHUTBS OF ORONO COUNCIL HEBTING OF Fj^RUAIOr 22, 1990 <br />could properly landscape it to make it more aesthetically <br />pleasing. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan said that the neighbors had felt that <br />a private tennis court would have less use than one available for <br />the entire development. <br />Mr. George Stickney said that there is a wide range of costs <br />involved with the construction of tennis courts. He said that an <br />individual homeowner may not spend the money to make the court <br />visually appealing. He also said that the aspect of future <br />maintenance of the tennis court should be considered. <br />Bernhardson suggested that the developer may wish to <br />consider placing restrictions on the construction of individual <br />tennis courts on certain lots. He asked Councilmember Goetten if <br />she would object to an outlot with a tennis court being located <br />elsewhere in the subdivision? <br />Goetten replied that due to the nature of this subdivision, <br />that it will attract buyers that will be able to construct their <br />own tennis courts. <br />Ms. Wildman said to the contrary that she had gone to the <br />trouble of receiving approval from other entities to insure that <br />the environment is protected. She said that there would be less <br />impact on the environment if only one tennis court were <br />constructed rather than many. <br />Councilmember Goetten said that there is nothing to preclude <br />the construction of private tennis courts in addition to the <br />court being proposed. Goetten said that the adjacent neighbor, <br />Mr. Chadwick, would be severely impacted by this proposal. <br />Ms. Wildman indicated that she is not opposed to restricting <br />private tennis courts. <br />Mr. Stickney understood that the neighbors were opposed to <br />the noise that would be generated by persons playing tennis. He <br />suggested that if the tennis court is properly screened, it would <br />act as a buffer and the noise impact would be lessened. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by <br />Councilmember Nettles, to conceptually deny application 11486 and <br />direct staff to prepare a Resolution of Denial. Motion, Ayes-4, <br />Nays-0, Motion passed. <br />fl481 GERALD MCCOORTNEY <br />1055 WEST FERMDALE ROAD <br />AFTER-THE-FACT CONDITIONAL USB PERMIT <br />RESOLUTION *2761 <br />Mr. Gerry Wenkus, Mr. McCourtney's contractor, was present <br />on his behalf. <br />Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron
