MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 25, 1996 ( #11 - 1997 Non -Union Compensation - Continued) • percentage Goetten asked what the difference in ercenta e would relate to in a dollar figure. She was informed the total cost would increase by about $4,000. Jabbour made it clear that it was not necessary to be in the union to be treated fairly. Kelley said he was in support of the 3% increase. He did ask that the Council and Staff review job values to ensure positions are correctly placed in the pay schedule. Hurr noted her request she has made in the past for review of merit pay and salary stages. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3808 to approve the 1997 non- union pay plan adjustments as follows: A 3% pay increase, and a mileage rate of $0.31 /mile. vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #12) SAGA HILL PARK ACCESS ALTERNATIVES Moorse indicated the need to determine short term and long term access for the 9.5 acre tax forfeit parcel and the 13 acre natural area parcel on Saga Hill. He presented different alternatives for Council's recommendation. He noted the use of the Fairview Church parking lot is satisfactory on a short term basis, but the conditions under which an agreement may be obtained indicate the need for a long term alternative. Moorse recommended the proposed long term access to be that of Garden Lane which now • exists, is platted, and allows access to the 13 acre parcel, which, in turn, allows access to the tax forfeit parcel. Kelley asked what effect it would have on the top of the ravine. Moorse noted it would run along the edge of the ravine but felt it was doable. Goetten questioned the concern of access to all of the parcels. Moorse said Garden Lane is platted to serve a number of parcels. He noted that lots 1 and 2 can be served by Garden Lane without affecting the park land. However, if Garden Lane is to serve lot #3, Garden Lane would be extended along the edge of the ravine creating a separation between the natural ravine and the open space. The City, however, has the obligation to provide access to those lots as they are buildable. Kelley suggested replatting the property. Moorse said that was possible with the parcels along the platted right -of -way still having the right to use the access. Kelley noted the replatting could begin past those lots indicated. Moorse stated there would still be a problem with lot #3. It was indicated that lots #4, 5, and 6 could use the access as a driveway if it was replatted. Kelley was concerned that it would result in a 24' wide bituminous roadway. These lots have no sewer access. Lots 4 and 5 are about 2 -1/2 acres in size and lot 6 is larger. • 16
