MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />·· Monday, October 22, 2001 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Sansevere stated that is one of the reasons why he would prefer this application be sent back to the <br />Planning Commission. Sansevere stated he would prefer all these issues be resolved prior to this <br />application coming before the Council. <br />Puzak stated his application has been delayed for a number of years because of the septic issue, <br />and that he is attempting to proceed forward by obtaining the septic testing. Puzak stated the Planning <br />Commission did recommend approval of his application subject to a connection to City sewer or that a <br />suitable septic site be shown. Puzak stated he has demonstrated that a suitable septic site is available, <br />but that his house plan would need to be modified if he utilizes private septic. <br />Franklin commented that it is his belief the Planning Commission was led to believe that he would not <br />grant Puzak an easement for the sewer, which is not the case. <br />Puzak stated if Franklin does not grant an easement within the next two weeks, he would like to <br />continue with his proposal to redesign his house based on the variances granted tonight. <br />Sansevere stated he would be required to come back before the Council if he decides not to hook up to <br />City sewer. <br />Flint noted Franklin has indicated a couple of times on the record that he is willing to grant an easement <br />at no cost to Puzak. <br />Puzak commented that Franklin has indicated he would like to construct townhomes on his property. <br />Franklin stated he has spoken with Weinberger on what his property could accommodate. Franklin <br />stated he has been informed he can construct two houses on these lots, which would require two sewer <br />connections. Franklin stated the sewer would be divided three ways. <br />Tom Barrett, City Attorney, recommended if the motion is approved, that City Staff provide findings to <br />support the conclusion, with the Council voting on the findings at the next City Council meeting. <br />VOTE ON THE ABOVE MOTION: Ayes 3, Nays 1, Sansevere Opposed. <br />PAGE31
