Kempf requested that issue be raised by Staff with the City Council. � <br /> Kroeger stated it is highly unlikely that the public would be invited to travel down that roadway if it is <br /> not vacated. . <br /> Zullo stated she does not feel the City of Orono should plow down to the turn-around since the public <br /> has been deterred from traveling down this road. � <br /> Sticlrney stated if the public does travel down that road currentl'y,they have to trespass on someone's <br /> property in order to turn around. Sticlrney noted the City has not maintained this road previously. <br /> Zullo inquired whether the cost to redo the septic would be shared by the three property owners. <br /> Stickney stated that cost would be borne by Mr.Paddock. <br /> Zullo inquired whether the City would be incurring any costs for the connection to the sewer. <br /> Gaffron stated the development agreement would require an escrow for the work and that the developer <br /> would be responsible for those costs. . ' <br /> Gronberg inquired whether the sewer lines would need to be physically removed or whether they could <br /> be abandoned and filled with sand. <br /> Gaffron recommended that issue be discussed with the City Engineer. <br /> Zullo inquired whether any hardcover variances are required. <br /> Gaffron stated he has been asked by Commissioner Kempf to verify the hardcover numbers but that the <br /> Planning Commission could move this application along and that item could be raised at the City <br /> Council meeting. " <br /> Stickney stated in other cities they would be allowed 31,000 square feet of hardcover for this type of lot <br /> and that he does not feel the hardcover being proposed is unreasonable. <br /> Gaffron stated the City has granted hardcover variances in the past to lots that have�smaller 75-250 foot <br /> � zones similar to this. Gaffron stated he recommended approval of the application based in large part on <br /> the removals being proposed for the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> PAGE 25 <br />
