MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MARCH 23, 1998 ( #1 I - #2335 Lawrence Molsather and Linda Sallee - Continued) Goetten agreed that a 2 -1/2' wide deck was unusable. She asked for verification of the proposed width. Bressler said the farthest point of the deck from the house is at 10', extending approximately 6' from the overhang. The remaining portion of the deck extends negligibly beyond the overhang. Peterson supported the proposal. Jabbour noted the request would be an improvement to the property, though the calculations do not reflect exactly what has occurred. The applicant accepted the resolution as drafted. Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 4052. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. ( #7) SHORELINE/HERITAGE SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - PUBLIC HEARING - 8:05 P.M.

On the north end of the project the sewer line will be extended by use of a small force main and individual grinder pumps.

The project cost for the 22 units is $42,200 or $19,100 per unit. Jabbour informed the audience that the City desires to be pro- active regarding sewering identified "hot spots ", or those in the most need of sewering. In areas that are not a top priority, the property owners have to petition for sewer and bear the total cost. Jabbour said the areas where the properties were left with no alternatives were sewered first. Jabbour referenced the earlier bond refinancing. He indicated that the City attempts to take advantage of the bond rate by financing such projects as this one along with others to reduce costs for the property owners.
