MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 8, 2004 7:00 o'clock p.m. • White moved to adopt Resolution No. 5129 including option #2, approving the plumbing in accessory building CUP and requiring removal of all kitchen facilities, allowing the kitchen sink to remain merely as a basin, not as a source of water, by removing its supportive plumbing, and requiring standard covenant execution be put into place. Mayor Peterson stated that she remembered the 1990 application which made the CUP approval subject to combination. Pierpont questioned why his property could not be `grandfathered' to allow the guest house. He stated that he has an enormous 4 acre plus 2 acre parcel, which has been discounted by a 4/10 of an acre wetland. He indicated that he was offended and believed the City was wrong to disadvantage him the use of his guest house. While Sansevere was empathetic that the kitchen did not fit his definition of a useful facility, he stated that the Code leaves the Council few options. Sansevere seconded. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 2, Murphy and Mayor Peterson dissenting. 12. #04 -2984 MCCARTHY CONSTRUCTION ON BEHALF OF BERKSHIRE PROPERTIES, 2745 KELLY PARKWAY — PUD /COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW Gundlach explained that the applicant requests a commercial site plan review in order to obtain a . building permit to construct a 36,000 s.f. medical office building.
