• MEWTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, May 14, 2012 .7:00 o'clock p.m. (9. #12 -3550 KEVINAND DENISE REILLY, 3405 HIGHLANE, Continued) McMillan commented it appears the Reillys have paid a trunk and drainage fee on the first development as part of preliminary plat approval. McMillan noted this is not a lot line rearrangement and is a subdivision. Gaffron noted they are creating two new lots, which are different lots than what existed. Gaffron noted one of the lots did not exist before and that the City has consistently charged the stormwater fee on developments similar to this one. Gaffron indicated if they were rearranging the lot lines, they would not be charged a stormwater fee. Mattick indicated he is reluctant to give an opinion on the fly and that he would like to review the ordinance and provide a response. Mattick noted the City has consistently charged the fee on other similar developments through the years and that the applicants are questioning whether that statute has been correctly interpreted. Mattick stated the City Council can either table this application until the next council meeting or give the applicants the option of paying the fee once the application is approved until a determination is made on this issue. Reilly stated they are fine with waiting two weeks but that they will, be closing on the property in June. Mattick stated he will conduct his analysis and provide it to the applicants prior to the next city council • meeting. Bremer moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6140, a Resolution Approving the Plat of Graham Hill Preserve, Second Addition, 3405 High Lane, subject to payment of the standard fees until a determination is made by the City Attorney on the storm water fee, with the applicants having the right to come back before the City Council to contest the fee if they are in disagreement with the City Attorney's recommendation.
