MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 15, 2011 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Mr. Puzak also indicates that we have failed to observe the full width of the easement. In discovery <br />during litigation, Mr. Puzak only indicates there were two times when he could not get through. Mr. <br />Puzak only lives there two and a half months out of the year. One of the times when he could not get <br />through was when he showed up unexpectedly on New Year's Eve. Mr. Wingerd indicated they were out <br />of the country and their children were at the residence. Mr. Wingerd stated in his view it is disingenuous <br />for him to make that claim. <br />Mr. Puzak also indicates that they could basically purchase that lot or lots from him. Mr. Puzak has cut <br />down two enormous cottonwood trees, one was 48 inches across and another one that was 36 inches <br />across. He has completely defoliated the adjoining lot a11d it looks like somewhat has poured gas on the <br />site. The rocks that are along the lake have also been ma,rked. Wingerd indicated he will notlet his <br />two-year old grandson in that area because of fear of contaminants. <br />Wingerd indicated he has no objection to doing the minor things, such as the. sidewalk and the turnaround <br />jog or whatever Staff recommends. <br />Schoenzeit stated those items would need to be formally recorded in a survey prior to going to City <br />Council. <br />Winder indicated that in addition, Mr. Puzak has indicated in his letter that Mr. Gronberg did not put the <br />easement in the survey, which to his knowledge is depicted on the survey. <br />Curtis stated to her understanding Mr. Puzak was referencing the blue triangular easement that was <br />depicted in an earlier survey. Curtis noted she drew that easement on the overhead for illustrative <br />purposes. <br />Schoenzeit comlllented there might be multiple easements. <br />Wingerind.icated they are willing to respect his easement and leave him alone. <br />Levangasked the applicant to explain where his land is and where the easement is. Levang noted she did <br />visitthe .property today and that Mrs. Wingerd had explained that Mr. Puzak has to travel approximately <br />600feefacross their driveway to get to his easement and that the Wingerds have never denied him that 60 <br />feet even though he does not have an official easement over that 60 feet. <br />Winger indicated she is referring tothis area here. <br />Levang asked Mr. Wingerd to point out the location of the official easement. <br />Curtis indicated it is the pink and blue lines. <br />Schoenzeit asked if there are any requirements that that area has to be paved. <br />Curtis indicated she does not have any details on that easement since it was recorded in 1948. <br />Wingerd stated the easement has been used by everyone for as long as he can remember. <br />Schoenzeit asked how the Planning Commission can require the removal of pavement pending litigation. <br />Page <br />15
