0 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JULY 27, 1987 #1160 BURY /LEE CONTINUED It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Peterson, to approve Alternative 2 per staff recommendation, with no further hardcover approved on the property. Mayor Grabek stated that the Council must determine whether adhering to a previous agreement made to the City by applicant is appropriate in light of the health, safety and welfare issues. Mr. Bury noted that Mr. Lee will not buy the house if Alternative 2 is approved because he would not be able to turn around. Councilmember Goetten withdrew her motion because she misunderstood that Alternative 2 would not be a workable solution for Mr. Lee. It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Peterson, to approve Alternative 4 due to primarily safety concerns. Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 3. Grabek, Callahan, and Sime voted nay. Motion fails. Mayor Grabek did not feel safety was the major issue noting the need has not been consistently explained. Councilmember Callahan felt that the strips vs. paving the same area would ultimately result in the same amoupt of hardcover due to compaction, therefore recommended paving the existing driveway area.
