ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JANUARY 10, 2000 <br />( #4) #2522 BANCOR GROUP, INC — Continued 0 <br />Newman said he understands staffs proposal is to split the cost of the 800', the City would pay <br />for the increments to the north and south and the City would pay for over sizing from 8 inches to <br />12 inches. He can't say that is unfair. <br />Flint agreed with Newman that the City should pay half the cost of installing the 800 feet of line <br />from the Middle School property. <br />Kelley agreed with Flint. <br />Jabbour said he does have a problem with the City paying half the costs. If the City does pay for <br />half of it, the costs should be reassessed to the properties in the area. <br />Sansevere said he agrees with Jabbour. <br />Kelley said he is willing to accept staffs recommendation. <br />Newman said he is willing to accept staff s recommendation. <br />Sansevere asked if this would set a bad precedent. <br />Jabbour said no. He said the developer is meeting all the requirements of the City. The City is is <br />taking an opportunity from the development happening to get additional capacity from the pipe <br />that will benefit the general public and the subdivision across the street. <br />Kelley said the residents across the street will benefit because there will be a hydrant located near <br />their property. <br />Newman said staff has mentioned the possibility of upsizing the line and he would like direction <br />in the near future as to whether the line should be upsized to 12 inches for the City's benefit. <br />Sansevere said he is still concerned about setting a bad precedent. <br />Jabbour said the developer is paying the total cost of the line. The City- is only paying for the <br />upsizing. Jabbour said that having a looped system is extremely important to the City. <br />Jabbour gave Newman a copy of a letter from Kathy Johnstone. Johnstone is concerned about the <br />size of the monuments at the entrances. <br />Flint asked if Newman objected to putting in smaller monuments. <br />Newman said he does not object to smaller sized monuments. He said they plan to make the <br />entrances low key. They will not put in a median if the Council doesn't want it. The • <br />Page 8 <br />
