MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />· · Monday, October 22, 2001 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Weinberger stated the Council could approve the plan before them tonight or they could allow the <br />Applicant to make some minor changes to the plan that is before them. Weinberger commented that <br />many times Applicants will make minor modifications to their house plan after approval is received. <br />Weinberger stated that does give Puzak some flexibility to redesign his plan, but Staff would prefer <br />some level of assurance be given that the house plan will not be significantly modified. <br />Puzak stated there would be some modifications to the footprint within the building envelope to <br />accommodate the septic design for a four bedroom house. Puzak stated there also were some other <br />minor modifications that he would like to make. <br />Sansevere commented in his view the Council shm.ild probably wait until there is some type of <br />agreement reached on the septic. Sansevere stated he is somewhat confused, noting it was his <br />understanding that Puzak was attempting to obtain an easement from Franklin for the past few years <br />and was unsuccessful. Sansevere stated Franklin has indicated he is more than willing to grant an <br />easement. Sansevere commented there appears to be some gaps in what has occurred over the years, <br />which may not be germane to tonight's meeting. Sansevere questioned whether this application <br />should be sent back to the Planning Commission once the septic is resolved. <br />Flint stated the granting of an easement would need to be in writing. <br />Stoddard suggested the Council consider approvihg X number of square feet for the residence subject to <br />the septic being resolved. <br />Moorse recommended the Council approve the variances for this specific plan subject to City <br />sewer being available. Moorse stated had the Applicant known the septic could only handle a three · <br />bedroom house, it is unlikely it would have been designed as a five bedroom house. Moorse stated if <br />the Applicant would like additional bedrooms, he would be required to hook up to City sewer. <br />Puzak stated he would like the variances approved tonight so he can proceed with his design process. <br />PAGE29
