MINUTES OF ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 23, 1989 <br />• ZONING FILE #1411 - SUSSEX SQUARE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUED <br />with the Lawton's attorney. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked whether the applicant was <br />proposing any entrance monuments? <br />Mr. Gronberg said that entrance monuments were being <br />proposed. He also questioned whether there was a need for the <br />proposed Outlot A to the northeast. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson said that the City's <br />recommendation is to leave the Outlot as proposed and should it <br />prove to be unnecessary in the future, it could be abandoned at a <br />later time. <br />City Engineer Cook said that the developer had an <br />opportunity to place the Outlot at any location. He believed <br />that it was a little late at this time to ask for a revision. <br />Dr. Lawton questioned how logic is served by placing the <br />Outlot as proposed? He said that running a road across the <br />property is really of no benefit to anyone. <br />Gronberg presented the landscape plan for the Council to <br />review. <br />• Councilmember Goetten asked if there was adequate screening <br />for the "exception "? <br />Gronberg replied that some of the existing woods extend <br />beyond that boundary and that there are no houses proposed in <br />that area. <br />Planning Commissioner Representative Kelley noted that <br />screening and landscaping were concerns expressed by abutting <br />property owners at the Planning Commission Meeting. <br />Mayor Grabek asked Dr. Lawton if the landscape plan appeared <br />to be acceptable to him? <br />Dr. Lawton replied that overall, he had no objections to the <br />subdivision. He only wished to see the boundary line discrepancy <br />resolved. <br />Mr. Allan Carlson believed that Mrs. Wildman had done a good <br />job. <br />Gronberg showed the proposed location for the entrance <br />monuments, and noted that they would be set back from the right - <br />of -way so there would be no interference with sight distances. <br />is Mayor Grabek indicated that he would have no objections to <br />the entrance monuments as long as they were placed out of the <br />right -of -way and did not interfere with sight lines. <br />5 <br />
