MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 25, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 21 (6. PERMIT NO. 2012-00168 - SCOTT STANDA – 3025 CASCO POINT ROAD, SURVEY REQUIREMENTS, Continued) Struve stated his main concern is how they are planning on dealing with the slope differential. If the Seidel’s do not want to allow him to re-grade the area outside the easement, a short retaining wall will probably be necessary. McMillan asked what the City Council is being requested to do at this point. Curtis indicated Staff requested additional information and Mr. Standa asked to appear tonight because he felt enough information has been provided. Staff is looking for topography, the location of the Seidel home, and other additional information to address the engineer’s concerns. Struve stated per conversations with Mr. Standa, he has indicated he is only widening the driveway four feet but that Staff needs to know the engineering and how they are going to deal with the slope. Seidel asked if Halpren has been granted a permit. Curtis indicated he has been. Levang asked how that project impacts this. Curtis indicated the Halpren permit is a grading and hardcover removal permit. Seidel stated when you look at his survey; it looks like they are going to tear up the asphalt that is depicted on his property. Curtis noted the Halprens are not proposing to work past the property line and that Staff would require Mr. Halpren’s surveyor to repaint and re-stake the property line. Mr. Halpren is proposing to remove the bituminous on the south side of the property line. Seidel indicated he disagrees with the location of the property line. McMillan asked how old his survey is. Seidel indicated it is dated 2004. If his survey is correct, the Standa project is much smaller. McMillan asked how the City can resolve a dispute between property owners. Mattick noted the City relies on the surveys in approving applications and that the City is not in a position to determine property lines. If someone wants to remove hardcover on their property, that is something that is rather standard. As it relates to the driveway that is being proposed to be expanded, the City will want to make sure, from an erosion control standpoint, that that is being handled correctly. The City does not determine the location of the easement or what it consists of. Item #03 - CC Agenda - 03/11/2013 Approval of Council Minutes 02/25/2013 [Page 9 of 21]
