MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 27, 2010 7:00 o'clock p.m. (PUBLIC COMMENTS, Continued) White asked if an order can be issued preventing'work from being done on the weekends if the contractor is flagrantly committing violations. Mattick stated he does not recall the development contract for this particular property but that typically the City relies on their noise ordinance. The Council does have the ability to restrict the hours of operation but that most of the time the Council simply relies on the code. Mattick stated he is not sure if the City has inspectors on the weekends. If there is a violation, it can be addressed. White stated the work will need to be verified to determine if a violation has occurred. Mattick stated sometimes it is assumed that the existing trees will remain for screening and buffering when the property owner instead is planning to replant new trees. Demele commented the City's discussion regarding preservation of the view corridor implied that what is existing would remain. Mattick stated normally there is a size parameter of the trees that is required. • Murphy commented a significant amount of construction work has occurred on the property and in the general area. • Kellogg noted a culvert underneath the road was replaced. Murphy stated as of Thursday of last week, there was not much remaining that could be cut down. Demele indicated the property is now pretty denuded. Demele indicated he will continue to work with Mr. Gaffron and Mr. Kellogg. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT None MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT None CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT *3.
