MIlVUTES OF THE . <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 26,2015 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> , <br /> . <br /> O <br /> City Attorney Mattick stated the more items that are included in the utility easements;the more likely it �I�� <br /> could impact the easement,which is the reason for the review. Mattick stated if there is an encroachment `I�° <br /> in the right-of-way,the property owner is notified that they may need to remove it at some point at their � <br /> own cost. <br /> McMillan stated her issue is with the one or two-foot high retaining wall but that basically a retaining <br /> wall is a retaining wall regardless of the height of it. McMillan noted there are some people that have <br /> walls within the right-of-way. McMillan suggested this change be clarified in the newsletter. <br /> Comick stated he is a little troubled by the zero tolerance. Cornick asked if this could lead to neighbor <br /> disputes and whether that is something the City should attempt to address. <br /> Gaffron stated if there are specific changes the Council would like to see,he would recommend tabling <br /> the amendment. <br /> Cornick stated he would like to give it a little more thought. <br /> McMillan stated she is in agreement with Council Member Cornick and that she would also like to <br /> understand how it could potentially impact the different zones of a property. <br /> Levang moved,Cornick seconded,to table Application No. 15-3707,Amend Section 7&1405 of the <br /> Orono Zoning City Code by Clarifying Retaining Wall and Landscape Structure Setbacks.VOTE: <br /> Ayes 3,Nays 0. <br /> 6. #15-3709 AMEND SECTION 78-1001(�TO ADD NAVARRE AREA TO PUD MIXED <br /> USE PROVISIONS—ORDINANCE NO. 132 <br /> Gaffron stated in April of 1989,the City adopted an ordi.nance that included revisions to the B-1 <br /> commercial district,created the B-6 highway commercial district,and established provisions for <br /> development by the PUD process. PUD City Code Section 78-1001(6)authorized utilization of the PUD <br /> Zoning District only in the Highway 12 corridor,which was set forth in the City's Comprehensive Plan <br /> Amendment#2 adopted in May of 1988. <br /> Since then,the City has not been able to use the PUD process or create a PUD district outside of the <br /> Highway 12 corridor area. This change to the City Code would allow that process to be used within the <br /> Navarre azea. Gaf&on noted there is the potential for redevelopment in the Navarre azea and that the <br /> PUD District would allow for mixed use development. Gaffron indicated this would be the first step in <br /> allowing mixed use in the Navarre area and that a set of standards for PUD use should eventually be <br /> established. <br /> Cornick stated it sounds like good planning. <br /> Levang asked if any specific corridors should be specified or whether it just applies to the general <br /> Navarre area. <br /> Gaffron stated the way it was drafted initially only talks about Navarre in general.
