MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 24, 1989 • PUBLIC COMMENTS CONTINUED it would be discussed at an upcoming meeting. Mayor Grabek asked Mr. Nehring if he still fed the ducks on a regular basis? Mr. Nehring said that he did not feed the ducks, but had bird feeders from which some ducks ate. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: #990 WARD FERRELL 3405 WATERTOWN ROAD VARIANCES Councilmember Goetten noted that this application had been ongoing since 1985. She felt that the Council had bent over backwards to accommodate Mr. Ferrell's concerns. Goetten observed that Mr. Ferrell was again not in attendance at the Council meeting, and asked that this matter be closed. She said that she would be in favor of allowing Mr. Ferrell one additional buildable lot in addition to his principal residence, subject to appropriate septic and any other testing that may be required. It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, to deny application #990, Ward Ferrell. Gaffron asked for clarification as to whether the denial pertained to the request for two additional lots. He noted that Mr. Ferrell had amended his request for one additional lot. • Gaffron suggested that the motion to deny two lots should address Mr. Ferrell's request for one additional lot. If one additional lot is acceptable, it should be specified as to how the parcel is to be split. Mayor Grabek commented that he did not want to plan Mr. Ferrell's proposal. It was up to Mr. Ferrell to come forth with a proposal. Mayor Grabek asked Councilmember Goetten if she would amend her motion to deny Mr. Ferrell's application, yet give him the opportunity to appear before the Council prior to resolution. Gaffron pointed out that final denial would occur at the next meeting when the resolution was brought forward and that Councilmember Goetten's motion would be for conceptual denial. Councilmember Goetten agreed to amend her motion, Mayor Grabek seconded. Motion, Ayes =5, Nays =O, Motion passed. #1261 JOB RAUSCHENDORFER 3895 SHORELINE DRIVE VARIANCES Mr. and Mrs. Rauschendorfer were present for this matter.

Gaffron stated that there would be 9' from the right -of -way if the two -car garage was built without 5
