MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 12, 2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. 16. #15-3763116-3860 CHRISTOPHER BOLLIS, 200-250 STUBBS BAY ROAD NORTH — FINAL PLAT REVIEW (continued) McMillan asked whether anyone from the public would like to continent on this application. Tom Fleming, 300 Stubbs Bay Road, stated he believes it makes sense to have the ability to construct homes on the lots but that his concern is if something happens over time and the road is not constructed, whether that will bleed into Lots 4 and 7. Fleming noted there is soil compaction that takes place with road construction and there are mature trees. Fleming stated there has to be some timeline and that it cannot go on forever. FIeming stated he is a little concerned about a secondary access since it is not part of what Orono typically does. FIeming noted the City has very specific ordinances about multiple access points. Fleming indicated he is the third owner on Outlot A and that he does have concerns about how it is plotted. Fleming noted Tamarack Hill will be superseded by Kintyre. Fleming commented he is not sure how the ownership will go as well as the requirements of maintenance. Fleming indicated he would prefer to see the secondary access eliminated since there is a road being built. Fleming stated ultimately he is willing to take responsibility for his portion of the outlot. Walsh noted the City Council really does not have much control over the driveway since both Mr. Bollis and Mr. Fleming own the driveway and that it will need to be an agreement between the two of them. Walsh asked if he would have any problem to allowing them to use the access to construct the homes. Fleming indicated he would not but that he does not want to see it bleed into more homes Gaffron noted the development agreement does not allow a home to be built until there is one lift of asphalt laid. Gaffron stated it is reasonable to use the driveway to construct homes on Lots 5 and 6. McMillan concurred that there needs to be some closure to the road. Walsh commented it might be five years before both homes are constructed and that perhaps there should be a sunset clause on it. Gaffron stated what the City typically requires is that the secondary access be graded out so it is not usable once the two homes are built. Gaffron indicated Staff will bring back the approval resolution at the next Council meeting. The City Council took no formal action on this item. (The City Council took a recess from 8:48 p.m. to 8:53 p.m.) 17. LEVEL II HOME OCCUPATION LICENSE, 4415 FOREST LAKE LANDING Barnhart stated the property owners at 4415 Forest Lake Landing would like to use their property for indoor piano concerts for 15 events per year for up to 40 people per event. The patrons would be shuttled to the event using a commercial shuttle. Since the events will go later than 7 p.m., it triggers a Level II home occupation. Page 16 of 34
