MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 14, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 14 of 30   <br />(11. REQUEST TO ACCESS 2629, 2627, AND 2625 CASCADE LANE FROM KELLEY <br /> PARKWAY, Continued) <br /> <br />Gleason stated the original developer is present tonight and that he has indicated the roads were <br />constructed close to the same standards as Kelley Parkway. Gleason stated the only damage they foresee <br />happening is to the sidewalk, which they would be able to fix right away. <br /> <br />Levang asked if there is any way the rating for Cascade could be verified. <br /> <br />Struve stated the City knows what the road was originally designed for but that he does not know what <br />the underlying soil conditions are. Struve stated he personally would classify it as a 4-ton due to the high <br />water table and the poor soil conditions in the area. Struve noted he just received the information late <br />this afternoon and has not had time to thoroughly review it. <br /> <br />Gleason stated the homeowners association is going by whatever the City enforces. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the homeowners have to pay for the maintenance. <br /> <br />Gleason stated if the road is going to be classified as a 4-ton by the City, he cannot go back to the <br />homeowners association and say it should be rated higher. Gleason stated in his view access off of Kelley <br />Parkway is their only option at this point. <br /> <br />McMillan asked how they could access Cascade from Kelley Parkway. <br /> <br />Gleason pointed out the area they would be accessing Cascade off of Kelley Parkway. <br /> <br />McMillan asked when they would like the model home to be completed. <br /> <br />Gleason indicated they would like to finish it as soon as possible. Gleason stated they ran into some <br />complications from the beginning because they had to redesign the house plans and that they are <br />anticipating the model home would be completed within 90 days. Gleason noted they would only need to <br />access Cascade from Kelley Parkway to bring the concrete forms and rock and sand in. <br /> <br />Levang asked if there are any other options that would be available. <br /> <br />Struve stated if the Council deems this option is okay, the City could obtain an escrow. Struve stated it is <br />not an ideal situation on a busy road and that it has emergency vehicles traveling on it on a fairly regular <br />basis. Struve stated he does not know if the equipment would be blocking the road at any time. <br /> <br />Levang indicated she has those same concerns with the emergency vehicles and that there is school traffic <br />as well. <br /> <br />Gleason indicated they would not be blocking the road but that he understands what Council Member <br />Levang is saying. Gleason stated the equipment would be smaller than what they would use if there were <br />no road restrictions. Gleason stated the pump truck would be located in a parking area to pump over the <br />berm and would not be blocking the road. Gleason stated they would avoid hauling anything in during <br />the busy times for the schools and that he would work on a schedule with the Public Works Director. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 04/28/2014 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 04/14/2014 <br />[Page 14 of 30]
