MINUTES OF REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 12, 1988 ZONING FILE #990- FERRELL CONTINUED • Mr. Ferrell is now requesting that this matter be reopened once more and has a revised plan for consideration. Applicant is seeking a variance on one of the two vacant lots. Bernhardson stated that there are some alternatives for this matter. One would be to combine the two westerly lots, which would create a parcel of approximately two acres, leaving the easterly portion with a little over one acre. Another option would be to do a lot line rearrangement so that the total three -acre parcel would be split exactly in half. The concern of approving Mr. Ferrell's request to develop only one of the lots is that both lots are substandard and it would be difficult to approve building on one lot and deny the other similar lot. In light of applicant's revision to the original application, staff is recommending that this matter be referred back to the Planning Commission. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, to refer #990, Ward Ferrell, back to the Planning Commission for review. Councilmember Goetten stated that she would hope this was the last time this matter was brought before the Council. She felt that the City Council had been very accommodating in trying to resolve this matter, but Mr. Ferrell had commented to the contrary. She suggested that should there • be any additional costs involved with the review of this new proposal, Mr. Ferrell should be responsible. Motion, Ayes =5, Nays =O, Motion passed. #1303 ALLAN REZABER 1989 FAGERNESS POINT ROAD VARIANCE RESOLUTION The applicants were not present for this matter.

Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron had tried several times to contact applicants but had been informed that Rezabek's phone number had been changed. The Resolution, once drafted, will require the signature of the current resident at 1989 Fagerness Point Road. It was staff's recommendation that this matter be tabled for two weeks to ascertain who currently owns the property. Councilmember Goetten inquired as to whether the current • homeowners would be advised to attend the Council Meeting on September 26th. City Administrator Bernhardson stated that if 2
