MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MARCH 10, 1997 • ( #5 - Bay Ridge/Hartwood Sewer Project - Continued) Jabbour reminded the Council the City has included large lots on the last five projects around the lake. He also noted that the projects are done only if the neighborhood is favorable to the assessment. He reminded the Council that the motion was only to allow the plans and specifications to be ordered. Gaffron added that there were 3 -4 meetings with the Bay Ridge neighbors as well as on -site meetings and no disagreement was voiced to the project. Boni suggested the project include Bay Ridge only and Hartwood added when found to be necessary. Kellogg indicated the elevation and location were issues. Access is also an issue as the lift station will require maintenance. If it was located along CoRd 15, there would be a concern for the safety of the workers. Boni suggested the other option of the back side of the lots. Kellogg said easements would be required as it is a private road and the residents preferred the lake side location. Jabbour suggested the specifications be ordered while asking Staff for additional information regarding requirements and cost of the Hartwood area to eliminate speculation. The audience was polled for the number of Bay Ridge residents present. It was found that 4 out of 8 were present. All were in favor of the sewer project. • The public hearing was closed. Kelley moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 3849 ordering preparation of plans and specifications to the Bay Ridge/Hartwood neighborhoods. Staff was directed to provide data on sewering of the Hartwood neighborhood to include information on the primary and secondary sites for each lot, condition of each septic, and costs involved. The Bay Ridge residents present confirmed their recommendation for the sewer to run along the lake side of their properties. They indicated acquiring easements, tearing out the road, and with the depths as noted, it would be impractical to consider the west side alternate. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 4. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:15 P.M.
