MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 13, 2012 7:00 o'clock p.m. (8. #12 -3539 SUR YA AND ANTHONY R OCHEL, 125 TURNH"ROAD, Continued) Gaffron stated since the secondary site is outside the rock bed, it probably is not an issue. A typical failure would be in the interface between the rock and the sand, and that in his view it is not an issue. McMillan asked whether there should be a condition that once,the new residence is constructed, that the old residence be removed. Gozola stated typically there is a code provision that only allows for one dwelling per parcel. McMillan commented it would not hurt to include that as a condition. McMillan asked when the wetland buffer would be triggered. Gozola indicated the buffer requirement is being triggered given the amount of dirt being moved. McMillan asked if the.applicant simply grades the new building pad and does not construct a new residence for a couple of years, whether that would be acceptable. Gozola stated the CUP is not attached to their future actions. Given the way the applicant is proposing to move the dirt, the existing house will need to be removed. If the house remains, they would have to meet all the CUP conditions, which includes establishment of the buffer. Gozola displayed the reconfiguration of the driveway on the overhead. Gozola noted the applicant would like to add a turnaround in front of the house. Gozola noted hardcover is not regulated on this property and the turnaround would not change the proposed grading. Rahn asked whether conditions number nine and number ten would be eliminated. Bremer stated number nine would be eliminated and then the condition requiring the existing home be removed will be added. McMillan commented she would also be okay with elimination of condition number ten. Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, Application #12 -3539, Surya and Anthony Rochel,125 Turnham Road, to direct Staff to prepare an approval resolution, with the elimination of Item Nos. 9 and 10, and with the addition of the condition that the existing home be removed prior to the certificate of occupancy being issued.
