MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 27, 1986 #1064 CITY OF ORONO CONTINUED City Engineer Cook stated that the main issue in the location of the lift station was to keep it away from the busy intersection. He stated that the control panel of the lift station could be lowered one foot relatively easy. Mr. Crear stated that lowering it one foot would not solve the problem, it is still obscene looking and obstructs his view of the lake. He stated that the City handled the situation poorly and perhaps he should be compensated for loss of value of his property. Mayor Butler suggested that Mr. Crear make some suggestions regarding the preferable screening from his property. Mr. Crear and Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson recessed the meeting to discuss this matter. Councilmember Frahm stated that given the facts, he felt the conditional use permit requirement should be taken out of the ordinance. Councilmember Adams stated that he was concerned about making sure that these structures would.. -get consideration during the process of a sewer project. He stated that he was not aware of the size of the lift station. It was moved by Councilmember Frahm, seconded by Councilmember Adams, to approve the after - the -fact conditional use permit and that the City do everything feasible to properly screen the lift station from Mr. Crear's property and contingent upon obtaining a permanent easement. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 0. Councilmember Callahan abstained from voting. Councilmember Callahan suggested that staff consider the problem of changing the ordinance and incorporating the location of lift stations within the sewer planning meetings. After Mr. Crear and Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson returned from their recess, Mr. Crear wanted to state for the record that he felt the City should compensate him. City Administrator Bernhardson and Council directed Mr. Crear to submit a notice of claim to the City. 7
