MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 10, 1986 <br />#990 FERRELL continued <br />Mayor Butler explained the problems that are involved in <br />this application and that the reason this area was <br />rezoned in 1974 to 2 acre lots was the problem with <br />septic system overcrowding and failure on 1 acre lots. <br />She noted that other similar applications have been <br />denied for this same reason and Council would be setting <br />a precedent by approving this. <br />Mr. Haglund stated that this situation is un.;que and <br />that properly installed septic systems do not fail. <br />Councilmember Adams stated that problems are showing up <br />with septic systems in 1 acre areas. <br />Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron reviewed the <br />history of the zoning code from 1950 to present. He <br />noted the similar request by Alden Anderson in 1981 <br />which set a precedent for denial in these cases. <br />Mr. Haglund stated there there is no proof of setting a <br />precedent by approving this because of the unique <br />situation. <br />Mr. Ferrell stated that the present zoning code would <br />prevent subdi%ision requests of 2 acre parcels, but he <br />has already subdivided his property, upon the request of <br />the City. <br />Mayor Butler stated that she felt the entire Council <br />should be present to make a decision on this <br />application. <br />Mr. Ferrell stated that the Council has a moral <br />obligation to honor previous councils' actions. <br />It was moved by "ayor Butler, seconded by Councilmember <br />Adams, to table this application until the April 14, <br />1986 Council meeting for the presence of the entire <br />Council.

The proposed hardcovers increases are <br />from 17.5% to 18.2% in the 0-75' zone; the proposal <br />shows a decrease from 27.3% to 26.8% in the 75-250' <br />zone, but on staff's recommendation for safety reasons, <br />a back-up apron should be included, so the proposed <br />hardcover would be increased to 29.0%. <br />4 <br />
