MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 8, 1987 <br />#1147 GEORGE & THERESA BLOOM <br />1374 REST POINT ROAD <br />VARIANCE <br />RESOLUTION #2198 <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request for <br />a fence height variance to construct a 6' fence (where a <br />3 -1/2' maximum height fence would be allowed) along a <br />street lot line on Rest Point Road. Generally, any <br />fence along the street lot line would be problematic in <br />snow removal /storage. However, a 3 -1/2' fence is <br />allowed by code right up to the lot line, and would be <br />more of a problem than a 6' fence further back, due to <br />the narrow right of way and location of traveled portion <br />of road right at the property line. . The purpose of <br />the fence is to screen their property from the close <br />proximity of the road. <br />George & Theresa Bloom were present for this matter and <br />submitted photos of the situation. <br />Councilmember Goetten noted, per the memo, that Public <br />Works Coordinator Gerhardson felt a 6' fence constructed <br />5' from the property line, would be adequate and not <br />interfere with snow removal. Upon visiting the site, <br />she felt that a 6' fence was a legitimate request. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by <br />Councilmember Peterson, to adopt Resolution #2198 <br />granting the variance. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />ROAD NAME APPROVAL FOR PRIVATE ROADS -* <br />A) KNOLL MANOR SUBDIVISION - KNOLL MANOR DRIVE <br />B) HILBELINK/VOGT SUBDIVISION - GOLDENVIEW DRIVE <br />It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by <br />Councilmember Peterson, to approve the private road <br />names of Knoll Manor Road and Golden View Drive. <br />Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />ENGINEER'S REPORT: <br />CRYSTAL BAY SEWER PROJECT FINAL <br />City Engineer Cook requested that the Crystal Bay Sewer <br />Project be finaled. Re- seeding and plantings have been <br />done, noting that the seeding is still not a very good <br />growth. They recommend that final payment be approved <br />with $2,000 (this would cover the $534.24 that the City <br />has expended to date for watering the seeded areas) to <br />be withheld from the contract to allow additional time <br />for the grass to grow. <br />LaDean McWilliams stated that she did not feel $2,000 <br />would be enough, and noted concern because the prime <br />contractor is in bankruptcy. <br />10 <br />
