MINUTES OF THE - <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,June 20,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Thiesse asked if the adjacent property to the south is a back yard. <br /> Curtis indicated it is. <br /> Thiesse stated he is assuming that property is also a candidate for redevelopment. <br /> Curtis stated it does appear that Fox Street would be the frontage for that property. <br /> Olson noted the proposal is below the City's structural coverage and hardcover limits. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Leskinen seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3837,John <br /> Brunello,LLC,570 Orono Orchard Road South,granting of lot area, lot width, and side yard <br /> setback variances,subject to Staff and City Engineer's recommendations.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> 8. #16-3838 AL MUSECH ON BEHALF OF THOM AND LAURA CLAPP,215 <br /> HOLLANDER ROAD,EASEMENT VACATION,7:59 P.M.—8:04 P.M. <br /> A1 Musech,Applicant,was present. <br /> Barnhart stated the applicant is requesting vacation of a drainage and utility easement that remained after <br /> a boundary line adjustment was made some years prior. The applicant proposes to replace the vacated <br /> easement with a10-foot drainage and utility easement along the property line. There are no known <br /> utilities within the easement. <br /> Barnhart displayed the existing easement on the overhead and pointed out how the existing easement goes <br /> right through the property. Originally the property consisted of two lots. Typically in new subdivisions <br /> easements are platted along the property line. Barnhart illustrated the location of the new easement. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the easement vacation as proposed and does not see it as having any <br /> negative impacts on any property in the area. <br /> Lemke asked if an easement is required to be provided on that property. <br /> Barnhart stated it is not, but generally it is not known when an easement will be needed so the City will <br /> typically ask for it up front. <br /> Thiesse noted the easement goes from 10 feet to 5 feet but that it has to transition at some point. Thiesse <br /> indicated he is comfortable with the location. <br /> Al Musech,Applicant, stated as Staff has stated,the purpose of the easement swap is to put in a septic <br /> system to replace the failing septic system. Musech stated at the time he purchased the property,they <br /> knew the system was failing and the perc tests found a suitable site in the front yard. The new mound <br /> system will blend in somewhat with the existing topography. <br /> Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:04 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> _ Page _ <br /> 14 <br />
