F2 1 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, January 25, 2010 7:00 o'clock p.m. • (3. #06 -3234 BRIDGEWATER BANK, 4725 & 4731 NORTH SHORE DRIVE — Continued) Rohl indicated he is. Bremer noted the City spent a considerable amount of time reviewing and approving the two houses that were constructed on those two lots but that the only item before the City Council tonight is a renewal of a lot line rearrangement. Bremer stated the owner could submit a variance application but that it was her recollection the prior applicant made the decision that he wanted to maximize the size of the house and forego a deck or patio. Curtis stated at the time the house was proposed, the lakeside of the home contained some large windows that were replaced with some patio doors, which requires a three foot landing. Curtis indicated it is her understanding that the landing has not yet been constructed. Bremer pointed out that Staff would have the complete file showing what previous permits and work has been done on the property. Rohl stated he would like to have an acknowledgement from the City Council that a deck or patio would be considered in that location. Murphy stated the City would consider such a request if an application is submitted, and recommended Mr. Rohl speak with Staff regarding his specific proposal. Tom Johnson, Bridgewater Bank, indicated he is also here to listen to the comments by the one potential is buyer about the driveway. Johnson stated it is his understanding the potential buyer does not have an issue with the heated driveway but was wondering whether the driveway could be delayed until there was a buyer for the other lot. Curtis stated if the Council approves the application tonight, the documents would get filed and the lots would be able to be sold. Mattick noted this is a renewal of a lot line rearrangement and the deeds have already been drafted. The deeds and resolution will be filed, which will allow the two lots to be sold. Curtis stated the future buyers of the lots would need to work with the City on proposed improvements or changes to the approved plan. The driveway is already part of the approval and could be addressed with an escrow or a letter of credit. Murphy asked what the difference is between the resolution marked as Exhibit A and the resolution marked as Item #3. Curtis stated Exhibit A is a lengthier resolution and that Item #3 simply reaffirms the previously approved resolution. Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5910, a Resolution Granting Subdivision of a Lot Line Rearrangement and Variances for Properties Located at 4725 and 4731 North Shore Drive.
