MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD DECEMBER 13, 1993 (#24) LASHER LANDING PUBLIC ACCESS - CONTINUED Jabbour commented that he felt it was important to retain the fire access and he did not want to vacate the easement. Mr. Jerome agreed that it was important to retain the fire lane. Jabbour commented that if it is determined that the City does not own it, then it can be condemned. Craig Lundell said that they would prefer not to have a large sign that advertised the access, although he concurred that the idea of retaining the fire road was a good one. Discussion ensued regarding the type of sign and how it would be installed. Hun stated she felt a small sign for notification to call a number would be the best, but did not want to have a large sign on the gate attracting attention. The consensus of the Council was that a small sign with a notice to call the City hall number to gain access would be appropriate. Kelley noted that if the City is not involved then people wishing to gain access would go to the residences adjacent to the gates to get keys. Hurr moved, Goetten seconded, to allow the gates to remain with the keys being issued to allow access to the public. She felt the padlocks should be placed on a chain to prevent their falling into the snow. The sign shall be no larger than 8" x 10' mounted on the gates notifying residents to contact the City to obtain keys. Ayes 5, nays 0. (#25) SCHEDULE REVIEW OF PROPOSALS FOR LEGAL SERVICES Mayor Callahan commented he felt the firm of Holmes and Graven had a conflict of interest because they represent the LMCD. Discussion ensued regarding how to set up the interview dates. It was noted that pricing was the reason for considering alternative representation, since the City has utilized the same firm for the past 17 years without any lack of services. Jabbour commented he felt the Council should consider this item during a work session. The remaining Councilmembers concurred. It was decided this item should be placed on the agenda for the January 4, 1994 work session scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. (#26) LICENSES Hun requested this item be pulled from the Consent Agenda because she wanted to know why there was a kennel application for eleven dogs, and when did such a use require a conditional use permit. Moorse responded that this particular application had eleven dogs all kept in the basement of the home in kennels. Hun requested staff to ensure that this was really the case, and felt a site visit was appropriate. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded to approve the following licenses: 0 0
