MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 12, 2015 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 21 of 37 9. #15-3774 MICHAEL STEADMAN ON BEHALF OF IRWIN JACOBS, 1700 SHORELINE DRIVE, PRELIMINARY PLAT (continued) Gaffron stated once preliminary plat approval is approved, it is essentially the City’s commitment to a plan. Gaffron stated whether there is a cul-de-sac or not is a significant element of the development. Steadman asked if the delay would be two weeks. Gaffron stated it would probably be four weeks out, which would give a chance for the developer to examine whether that works. Gaffron stated it would make sense to explore it for a couple of weeks, come back with some plans, and then do a preliminary plat resolution. Steadman indicated he would be open to that. Levang withdrew her motion. Levang moved, Printup seconded, to table Application No. 15-3774, Michael Steadman on behalf of Irwin Jacobs, 1700 Shoreline Drive.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 12. #15-3779, TRINITY CHURCH, 2060 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE – RESOLUTION NO. 6552 Gaffron stated the Trinity Lutheran Church is proposing to redo their existing monument sign which is located quite a ways off the road. The Church is proposing to install a new electronic reader board. Gaffron indicated the Planning Commission was fine with the proposal but suggested a condition be imposed that the interval between message changes be at least eight seconds so drivers will not be distracted by the change in message. Gaffron noted there is an approximate 6-second interval for drivers to pass the sign from the time it is first visible. Gaffron noted a question was asked earlier about what the City did with the school’s reader board. Gaffron stated that sign was approved back in 2005 and no condition was placed on how often the message could be changed in the resolution.
