ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 13, 1999 ( #� #2540 BRADLEY HOYT, 2523 KELLYAVENUE -Continued grant the appropriate approvals. The only way they can do that is by knowing the facts. He said they need to know who the contractor is, the amount of dirt moved, and the condition of the property before, during and after. Sheridan asked what the benefit would be of knowing who the contractor was. Barrett asked if the applicant takes the position that the entire retaining wall was built without moving any dirt on the property. Sheridan said he could not speak to that issue. Barrett said the reason the City would like to see the contract and to speak to the contractor is to find out what he did on the property. Sheridan said that assumes there was a contractor. Barrett said someone moved the rocks and the City would like to know who did that and how much dirt was moved. Sheridan said the City is telling his client that he has done regrading and presumably has done more than ten yards, so why doesn't the City tell them how it was done. • Barrett said the applicant is being asked in good faith to submit the facts which support the application. Jabbour said the City could obtain the aerial photographs from prior years. Sheridan said the City has engineers on its staff and they can give the Council their calculations. Barrett said that does not preclude the City's right to ask the applicant for valuable information in his possession. That is what the City is doing and he asked why the applicant is refusing it. Sheridan said he would let Mr. Skolnick respond. Kelley said if the applicant is not willing to supply the information, he will make a motion for denial at this time. He asked Mr. Sheridan if he is willing to supply the information to the City. Sheridan said the information was supplied with the application. 0 Page 8
