MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 9, 1987 <br />"'090 R.W. HOLLANDER - CONT. <br />Steve Weinstein, 259 Hollander Road, recommends that the <br />City go forward with the hazardous building action on <br />the barns contending that they create a danger to <br />children. He submitted photos of the barns and rental <br />house for Council to review. He feels the City should <br />enforce the conditions on the rental house and removal <br />of access before final subdivision is approved to assure <br />compliance. He noted that the Hollander Road residents <br />would rather have the rental house removed because the <br />structure is not consistent with the rest of the <br />neighborhood. <br />Ward Krueger, who built many of the Hollander Road <br />homes, felt the City should have required the removal of <br />the garage and access be done prior to approval of the <br />original subdivision, and because it was not done then <br />should be done now before this final subdivision is <br />approved. <br />Staff noted that per the drafted resolution, the <br />existing detached garage and access must be removed <br />prior to final plat approval. Regarding the rental <br />house, the rental use must cease prior to final plat <br />approval and the applicant has 6 months after final plat <br />approval in which to remove the plumbing from the rental <br />house. <br />Brian Hill, 235 Hollander Road, urged the Council to <br />require that the property be cleaned up to conform with <br />the neighboring properties before final subdivision is <br />approved. <br />City Attorney Blatz explained that legally the City can <br />not require the removal of these non - conforming <br />structures (unless they are deemed hazardous, which is a <br />separate action). She noted that the reason the City is <br />able to require the removal of the plumbing from the <br />rental house is because it is considered an <br />intensification of the property use. <br />Mayor Grabek stated that the Council is aware of the <br />residents concerns and feels the City is taking a <br />responsible position and action to resolve their <br />concerns in addition to respecting the property rights <br />of Mr. Hollander. <br />Councilmember Goetten stated that she agrees with the <br />residents concerns but is aware that the City must <br />legally deal with the issues one step at a time. <br />P <br />
