MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 23, 2015 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 19 of 41 <br /> <br />through Heritage Lane. Walsh stated it would be a small burden to have the construction traffic go <br />through 1700 Shoreline. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if he is interested in the resolution before the Council tonight. <br /> <br />Walsh stated he would like to have some amendments to the resolution. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if he wants to include something on an alternative road. <br /> <br />Walsh stated he would like to include language to the effect that the low level truck traffic, not the big <br />trucks, will park up by the cul-de-sac and that they can walk down there or figure out how to create a safe <br />passage. <br /> <br />McMillan stated there would need to be a legal definition for low level. McMillan stated the Council can <br />vote on that idea of an alternative construction road, but without having a legal definition for how that <br />should read in the resolution, it would be difficult to approve it tonight. <br /> <br />Walsh stated it would not have to be a legal definition and could merely say that this is what can go down <br />Heritage Lane. Walsh stated they can call it dump trucks or go by vehicle weight. <br /> <br />McMillan stated that might be difficult to enforce. McMillan asked if Council Member Walsh would like <br />the developer to build a temporary construction road. <br /> <br />Walsh stated however they deem it reasonable and that they could either park at the cul-de-sac or figure <br />out another way to do it. <br /> <br />McMillan stated she is attempting to narrow it down. <br /> <br />Walsh stated he envisions five revisions: the addition of the speed bumps, the use of a public service <br />officer, changing the times of construction from 8:30 to 4:00, no construction on Saturday, and <br />construction traffic going through 1700 Shoreline defined by vehicle weight. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the current road at 1700 is a cart road and that they would be talking about a definite <br />upgrade. McMillan noted big construction vehicles would need to get in and out safely. <br />Walsh stated he is not suggesting how they solve that problem but that he is saying it should be <br />considered. Walsh stated he is not here to do an engineering report. <br /> <br />McMillan stated that is a significant thing. <br /> <br />Printup asked if Council Member Walsh is talking about dump trucks, cement trucks, cranes and earth <br />moving equipment. <br /> <br />Walsh stated that type of traffic would go through Heritage and that the smaller vehicles could use the <br />alternative access. <br /> <br />Printup stated he is in agreement with that and that it would be a concession on the part of the developer <br />that would help alleviate the burden on the residents. <br />
