MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, May 10, 2010 7:00 o'clock p.m. (9. FOREST ARMS COUNTRY CLUB HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION (FACCHA) 2010 JOINT USE DOCKLICENSE, Continued) Barrett stated typically improvements would need to go through the City's permit process and the City would have it on file. Barrett commented it is difficult to make changes on a lake property given the regulations of the LMCD, the DNR, and the City. Curtis pointed out that not all residents obtain a permit prior to commencing work. White noted the survey is rather outdated and that the cost borne by 14 to 15 residents would be relatively little. Bremer noted the City's records show it is a 1993 survey. Barrett stated the survey was submitted to the City in 2002 and has been approved by the LMCD for years and the city for years. Bremer asked what the status of the application is this year. CJ Barrett indicated they were approved. Years ago, when the property was purchased from the City, there was a stipulation in the purchase agreement that they had to comply with the most restrictive ordinances for the docks, which was through the LMCD. The homeowners association has been in compliance every year with the LMCD and that in his opinion they are also in compliance with the City's requirements. • Barrett stated there is no outdated information on the survey and that is why they are requesting the waiver. McMillan asked if any new hardcover has been added. Barrett indicated there has not been any added and that they attempt to comply with all the regulations. Murphy asked what the requirement is that the City is requesting in terms of a survey. Curtis stated Staff is looking to see if the survey reflects any new improvements on the land. There is a fence along the street that is shown on one of the surveys but not on the other one. There also appears to be a traveled path but Staff cannot discern positively what it is. Barrett stated that is for golf carts to travel down to the dock. Murphy asked what it means in Planner Curtis's letter when she says 7 of the 11 licensees have complied by submitting updated surveys. Curtis pointed out the City has 11 joint use docks. Franchot asked whether Staff could drive by the property and inspect it to see whether any improvements have been made. Curtis stated there are things on the property that are not shown on the survey, such as a fire pit and the dry stack storage shelving. • Page 8of17
