s > <br />ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 10, 1990 <br />ZONING FILE #1334-REBERS CONTINUED <br />Mr. Kost replied, "That is correct. Additionally, V'l <br />ability for the driver to head out to the street, rathei <br />backing out. Because of the curvilinear nature of our street - <br />the heavily wooded character of the site." <br />Mayor Grabek asked Mr. Kost if it is the timing factor that <br />presents the problem. <br />Mr. Kost replied, "It is timing, but also the fact that we <br />wish to prevent the construction of driveways from becoming a <br />major public policy decision." <br />Mayor Grabek asked why the Planning Commission had made a <br />recommendation stating that each case be reviewed individually. <br />Moos replied, "It was not so much the issue of a driveway, <br />it was giving blanket approval for removal of trees with no <br />specific plan showing the hardship to do so." <br />Kost added, "I believe the Planning Commission did not want <br />to encourage excessive tree removal and felt it was appropriate <br />to look at each case to see that only what is necu-ssary is <br />approved." <br />Goetten reminded everyone that was approved as a PRD rather <br />than a standard subdivision.

Because of that, <br />controls and restrictions were established. I believe that the <br />Planning Commission spent a great deal of time on this. In my <br />opinion, it is appropriate for them to review this proposal." <br />It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Peterson, to refer <br />this matter to the Planning Commission for their review and <br />recommendation.

How did the City come to agree on a <br />temporary cover?" <br />Peterson asked <br />inspections. <br />how the City would monitor the monthly <br />Mabusth stated that Mr. Prass has proposed a specific <br />schedule that he would follow with regard to constructing a <br />- 11 -
