MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 22, 2001 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Puzak noted there was a public hearing held on this matter on October 1711\ at which time <br />Mr. Franklin was not present. Puzak commented he has been attempting to meet the City's <br />requirements regarding sewer. Puzak requested the Council address the issues relating to setback and <br />hardcover tonight, with the sewer issue being deferred. <br />Franklin stated they have discussed the sewer issue within the past month and a half, with Mr. Puzak <br />not informing him that he was considering building a new septic system. <br />Flint stated the significant issue before the Council tonight is the sewer, with the majority of the Council <br />expressing a desire for City sewer in this area. Flint stated he is unsure how the Council can approve a <br />resolution relating to this application until all the details of the septic issue are resolved. Flint suggested <br />Mr. Puzak and Mr. Franklin work together to resolve the details of extending the sewer line and the <br />costs involved with that. <br />Puzak stated he would like to proceed with his application, and in the meantime try to resolve the sewer <br />issues and redesigning the house. <br />Nygard stated he has a concern that this house may be out of character with the neighborhood, noting <br />the proposed house is considerably larger than the other homes in the area. Nygard stated he does not <br />want to see a neighborhood with a number of larger houses built on small lots. <br />Franklin stated there are a number of large homes located across the lake. Franklin stated Mr. Puzak's <br />house is somewhat secluded and ·would not be readily noticed. <br />Flint inquired what Stoddard meant by his comment that the Planning Commission would have been <br />harder on him if he was going to put in sewer. <br />Stoddard stated the Planning Commission reviewed what was presented to them, and at that time had <br />the understanding that this property would accommodate a five bedroom house. The Planning <br />Commission did approve this application on a vote of 7 to O based on the information presented to them. <br />PAGE26
