MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MELTING OF DECEMBER 11, 1989 <br />ZONING FILE «1445-PETERSON <br />said that in his mind, the fence is around the pool area. Mr. <br />Peterson said he never referred to the fence being around the <br />pool. In Mr. Peterson's opinion, the backyard is the pool area. <br />He asked why there was no specific mention, other than reference <br />to height, in the resolution, to where the fence is to be <br />located. He said they have done everything as they said they <br />were going to do. <br />Mrs. Peterson said they do not have a large enough yard to <br />have various fences breaking up the amount of area. She said <br />that 5' security is imperative because there is a playground <br />right across the street. <br />CounciImember Callahan said that he recollected that the <br />discussions at the Council Meeting centered around the pool, the <br />variance needed to put in the pool, and the requirements of the <br />insurance company to protect the pool with a fence. Callahan <br />said that the Council never thought, or thinks now, that they <br />gave approval for the fence that now exists. Callahan said that <br />there may be a misunderstanding, but he does not believe it is <br />proper to leave the fence in the right-of-way. Callahan said <br />that he could not allow a pool to be installed in that <br />neighborhood without fencing around it. Callahan said that what <br />is left to be decided is how tc screen the pool and what <br />variances are required to accomplish that. <br />Mr. Peterson said that many of the decisions they have made <br />in regard to the pool were based on the approval given. He said <br />that at no time did he say anything other than they intended to <br />replace the existing fencing. <br />CounciImember Callahan said that <br />replacement of a fence being discussed. <br />he does not recall <br />CounciImember Peterson said that she had listened to the <br />tapes of the Council Meeting twice today and at no time did she <br />make the comment noted in the Peterson's letter. Peterson also <br />said that at no time did the Peterson's mention replacing the <br />fence. Peterson indicated that she too did not approve of the <br />fence being located in the right-of-way because the Peterson's <br />neighbor to the north could come in and request the same. She <br />said allowing that to happen would create sight line problems. <br />Mr. Peterson said that Mrs. Belt, to the south of them, has <br />a fence in the right-of-way. Mr. Peterson said there are many <br />fences in that area that are located in the right-of-way. He <br />asked whether any size fence would be allowed within the right- <br />of-way? Mr. Peterson said that he does not intend to declare any <br />rights to the City's property by locating the fence there. <br />CounciImember Callahan asked Mr. Peterson if he <br />discussed the installation of the pool with the City staff? <br />Mr. Peterson said yes, quite a bit. <br />had
