MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JULY 11, 1988 Mayor Grabek suggested that more research be done on the 0'-75' so that there will be no loopholes. Motion made that item #1296 be tabled until appropriate wording can he establ' hed to state a denial to protect the intent of the City Code and Ordinances. Callahan interjected that it is clear that they can and must deny the lot area application. It seems to him that the Council could conceptually turn down the accessory dock on the property leaving It to the City Attorney to further advise the Council as to whether or not they would be prohibited from doing such a thing, even if they wanted to. He suggests that in light of fact that he is not in favor of issue, that the matter be denied rather than tabled. Mayor Grabek: said he had no problem with th_s but wanted to find out if the :additional time for research was needed by counsel. Attorney Barrett stated that he could not give a conclusion at the moment, but wouldn't advise that there is a difficulty with denying the lot area application upon the staff's recommendations or the point disussed at tonight's meeting.
