MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 14, 2016 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />14. #16-3868 CHARLES CUDD, INC., SHADYWOOD VILLAS 2525, 2535, AND 2545 <br />SHADYWOOD ROAD — FINAL PLAT (continued) <br />Edwards noted in some of the recent developments, Staff has had developers ask about changing some <br />things with the road design and that Staff is more comfortable when they increase the specs on the road <br />rather than decrease the specs. Edwards stated it is possible technically to build the road but that it is <br />usually more of an issue regarding the sequence of the building of the development. <br />Edwards stated if the Council decides to allow it, they will definitely want to have it all in writing and <br />then Staff will need to determine when the inspection and quality checks occur. <br />Stein noted there are plenty of gravel roads that were built not that many years ago and that the asphalt <br />requirement is a fairly new thing. <br />Walsh stated he worries about this development being the guinea pig and allowing it since other <br />developers will likely request the same thing. Walsh stated he is still not comfortable with the second <br />question but that the issues with the third question can probably be resolved. <br />Cornick stated one thing he has learned is that the devil is always in the details and that he would be <br />really uncomfortable going forward without plat approval. <br />Stein noted the only piece that is not done is the vacation easements. Stein stated if the old lot lines were <br />already vacated, the Council could be approving fmal plat tonight. Stein noted that requires a public <br />hearing, which will be done at the Planning Commission meeting next week. <br />Walsh stated if there are no liens that are found, he would be okay with No. 3 since it could be handled <br />with title insurance. Walsh indicated he is okay with 1 and 3 but that two is a no go. <br />McMillan stated she is struggling with 2 and 3. McMillan noted the City used to allow house <br />construction prior to the first lift of asphalt but that it ended up causing some issues and now they wait <br />until the final plat is approved. McMillan stated citizens will get upset if developers are out there grading <br />when the final plat has not been approved. <br />Walsh moved, Cornick seconded, Application No. 16-3868, Charles Cudd, LLC, 2525, 2535, and <br />2545 Shadywood Road, to direct Staff to prepare the final plat approval resolution and <br />development agreement approving Question No. 1 but denying Question Nos. 2 and 3. <br />Barnhart noted the final plat and the development agreement will be back before the City Council in two <br />weeks. <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />*15. #16-3869 SCOTT D. HOCHSTEDLER, 290 CRESTVIEW AVENUE — VARIANCES — <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6689 <br />Printup moved, Cornick seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6689, a Resolution Granting <br />Variances to Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-305 for Property Located at 290 Crestview <br />Avenue.
