ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 23, 1998 • ( #2426 George Stickney, continued) Barrett indicated that the language in the new ordinance will need to be reviewed. Flint stated they should get a recommendation from the City Attorney on the amount of park dedication fees that should be paid. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Application #2416, XXXX Willow Drive, and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4200, Granting Preliminary Approval of a Class II Subdivision of Lot 1, Block 1, Bill Kelley's Land. Flint stated there is ambiguity in regards to the stormwater management plan, noting that each development is to handle its own drainage but the language in the documents does not reflect that. The City Engineer states that depending on the comments of the MCWD, other options such as buffer strips may be needed, and the letter from the MCWD states that they have no suggestions with respect to this. Mayor Jabbour noted that the City Council has been consistent in their practice of requiring that each development manage their own drainage /runoff issues. Kellogg indicated he understands the position of the City Council. Kellogg noted that the current stormwater drainage plan has not been adopted as of this time, and once adopted, it will be easier to manage. VOTE ON MOTION: Ayes 5, Nays 0. • ( #10) #2428 TERRY MAURER ON BEHALF OF DAVID HARDTEN, 2515 KELLY AVENUE - VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 4201 David and Christine Hardten were present.

They would like to keep the existing boathouse with stairs along the lakeshore. At the last City Council meeting the Council recommended the Applicant revise the site plan to reduce hardcover in the 75 -250' lakeshore setback to the allowed 25 percent. The Applicants have revised the site plan reducing hardcover to 24.8 percent. The proposed hardcover in the 250 -500' setback is 30.6 percent where 30 percent is allowed. Kelley inquired what the City's policy is about issuing a certificate of occupancy prior to the driveway being blacktopped. Van Zomeren stated the building inspector will review the property before an occupancy certificate is issued, and in the case of the Silas application, a temporary occupancy certificate was issued before the driveway was completed. Kelley stated he wanted to insure that the driveway is completed and how that was regulated. Weinberger stated on the Silas application he went with the building inspector and measured the driveway.
