MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 22, 2001 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />White stated the Council will probably approve the plan as presented tonight with City sewer or they <br />will approve a smaller house with private sewer. <br />Moorse stated the Applicant would like to know whether there is an agreement on the Council's part as <br />to the hardcover amount and the setbacks. Moorse commented normally at this stage of the process the <br />Council is looking at a final plan with all the issues being resolved. <br />Franklin stated their conversations for the past two years have always related to extending the sewer <br />line, with no mention ever being made of installing a private septic system. Franklin stated it was his <br />understanding that a private septic system would no.t be allowed in this area. <br />Sansevere inquired why an easement has not already been granted. <br />Franklin stated he was told by Puzak that the cost to extend the sewer line and hookup was too high and <br />that in his opinion he could construct a private septic system for less money. <br />Puzak stated originally Franklin had wanted $50,000 for a utility easement. <br />Franklin stated he has never asked for $50,000 for an easement. <br />Flint commented this type of conversation is non-productive, and recommended the Council act on this <br />matter. <br />Flint moved, White seconded, to approve hardcover in the amount of 1,675 square feet within <br />75 feet of the Ordinary High Water Level of the lake; to approve hardcover in the amount <br />of 2,885 square feet in the 75-250' setback area; to approve the setback variance to allow the <br />house to be located approximately 47 feet from the lake at its closest point; and to approve a <br />variance to lot area, subject to Staff review and approval of the final house design; and further <br />subject to extension of City sewer to the property located at 1340 Bald ur Park Road. <br />Puzak inquired what would happen if Franklin decides not to give him an easement at no cost. <br />Flint stated then the Applicant would need to revise his plan to meet the septic available. <br />PAGE30
