MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 10, 1996 ( 96 - 92136 Greenfield Corporation - Continued) • Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Hurr noted that the lot width variances, by not extending the cul -de -sac, would save good building sites. ( #7) REQUEST FOR SEWER, JOHN MARESH, 2085 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH/1095 BROWN ROAD NORTH Mr. Maresh was not present during the discussion of this agenda item. Gaffron said the applicant has requested consideration for sewering as part of the MUSA amendment or in addition to the Lakeview Terrace subdivision. Kelley asked about the west side of North Brown, specifically, the Salem Court area, in reference to sewering. Gaffron said this area has mound type septic systems. Gaffron informed Callahan that the property in question consists of a vacant 2 -acre parcel abutting Brown Road and a 3 -acre homestead parcel abutting Co Rd 6. Goetten asked how the septic was approved for the site without an alternate site. • Gaffron said the sites had been approved in 1988, but a new evaluator, who looked at the property in 1996, did not think there were sites actually available. Gaffron said this would need to be reviewed further. • Kelley said he felt it was a question of management. Callahan noted for purposes of this particular request that the property be placed on a list for consideration for future sewering. When the MUSA is then granted, the City can see what might be done for this property. Kelley said if the North Brown and Salem Court areas want sewering, it would help to defer costs. Callahan said this would not be decided at this time as there were no sewer units available. Callahan said with 5 acres, he found it hard to believe that there would only be one site for a septic system and asked Staff to check it out. Gaffron noted the existing system was not working. The applicant has asked for a building permit. Maresh has agreed to upgrade as necessary. Gaffron said the applicant may want to hold off if the Council wants to go ahead with sewering. Callahan said he was not. willing to give a sewer unit if septic sites are available and asked that Staff place Maresh on a list for possible sewering in the future. 7
