MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 14,1997 <br />• (#4 - #2246 Donald Currier, Jr. - Continued) <br />Currier informed. Flint that the antenna could not be nested or raised in the location <br />required due to the trees. He noted the survey shows the trees plotted that are affected <br />by the antenna and the tree cover then drawn in. <br />Jabbour noted that the ability to have a nested antenna is more visibly attractive than an <br />antenna that must be fully extended at all times. Currier said trees would still have to be <br />removed to allow for the fully extended antenna. <br />Jabbour was informed that the neighbor in whose yard the antenna would fall, if it would <br />topple, gave his approval. <br />Flint questioned why the antenna cannot be moved 15' further along the same line noting <br />the survey does not indicate trees in that area. Currier said the tree cover is located there <br />and would result in the loss of a lotus tree. <br />Jabbour was informed that the horizontal width is a 34' maximum with a 20' long boom. <br />Flint was told that the antenna is directional motorized by a rotor. <br />In answer to the question of how close the neighbor's structures are to the north property <br />• line, Moorse said a letter indicates that the area is ungroomed without any structures. <br />Kelley questioned what would happen if that property owner wanted to build a garage in <br />that location. Currier said the neighbor told him he could put the antenna on the property <br />line if he wanted to. Goetten reported that if the neighboring property was sold, the <br />antenna could create problems for the new owner. Kelley suggested a call option be <br />placed on the antenna if that were to occur. Barrett indicated that this would be difficult <br />to enforce. <br />Peterson was informed that there were a couple other antennas in the City and no <br />problems have been reported. The only other retractable antenna that was on a property <br />in the City was removed when the resident moved. Jabbour said he feels the retractable <br />antenna is a great idea. Currier indicated he would like to maintain the trees to lessen the <br />visual impact. <br />Jabbour moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3925 per the Planning <br />Commission recommendation. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Flint. <br />(#S) #2248 DAVID AND JODI RAHN,1385 REST POINT ROAD - VARIANCE - <br />RESOLUTION NO. 3926 <br />David Rahn was present. <br />0 <br />
