MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 14, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 15 of 30   <br />(11. REQUEST TO ACCESS 2629, 2627, AND 2625 CASCADE LANE FROM KELLEY <br /> PARKWAY, Continued) <br /> <br />McMillan indicated she would be going with Staff’s recommendations and that a number of builders have <br />to comply with the road restrictions. <br /> <br />Bremer indicated she would be in favor of the developer putting up an escrow. <br /> <br />Struve noted Mr. Gleason did indicate he would be willing to put up an escrow but that he does not know <br />Mr. Gleason personally and that other developers have made promises that were not followed through on. <br /> <br />Gleason stated they would be involved with this development for the next two years and would not be <br />leaving any time soon. Gleason stated their commitment is stronger than a regular contractor and that <br />they are building up the development that is in need of additional residents. Gleason stated there would <br />only be two times they would need to access off of Kelley Parkway with the forms and that they are <br />willing to put up an escrow. <br /> <br />Struve stated he would still prefer they not access off of Kelley Parkway but that the City could require an <br />escrow to cover any damage that might occur. <br /> <br />Levang asked if there would only be two times or two trips. <br /> <br />Tom Osfar, Builder, stated they would require two trucks to bring all the forms in on one day. Osfar <br />stated the access would allow them to get off the road and into the lot next door, and if that is not allowed, <br />they would need to unload on the boulevard and then make a number of trips with a bobcat, which would <br />likely be more disruptive. <br /> <br />Levang asked how many trips would be necessary to haul the rock in. <br /> <br />Osfar stated in his opinion they will require ten loads of rock. Osfar stated the trucks would come in, <br />drop their load off, and then leave. Osfar stated if the equipment is off the main road that would be better <br />for everyone than if they have to stage the unloading. <br /> <br />Levang stated it is difficult for the City Council to make a decision on the fly given the fact that new <br />information has been provided tonight. Levang asked if they are only talking between 15 to 20 trips, <br />whether that is something that can be managed on Kelley Parkway. Levang stated she has a concern <br />about the emergency vehicles having access. <br /> <br />Police Chief Farniok stated if they are only planning on having two trucks come in with the forms on one <br />day that would not be a problem as long as they provided the police department with notice several hours <br />ahead of time. Farniok stated he also would like the trips not to occur during the busy school hours. In <br />regards to the escrow, he would recommend that language be included to the effect that an administrative <br />fine will be imposed if the developer does not notify the police department ahead of time. Farniok stated <br />he does not foresee it being a problem if the police department is given notification ahead of time and the <br />debris is cleaned up immediately. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 04/28/2014 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 04/14/2014 <br />[Page 15 of 30]
