MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 24, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 of 15 (9. 4440 FOREST LAKE LANDING – ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT, Continued) Church stated it would have given the small size of the lot. McMillan asked what the hardcover is on the property. Church indicated he is not aware of the exact percentage. Struve stated it appears the Council is open to allowing an expansion of the driveway but that they would like additional information on the patio and deck. McMillan stated it appears the majority of the Council is open to the expansion of the driveway but that the applicant will need to look at removing nonessential items in the right-of-way. Mattick stated the average person who looks at this area would not realize it is an access point to the lake and that there are a fair number of items encroaching in the fire lane. The City Council took no formal action on this item. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Anderson encouraged the residents to contribute their opinions on the new streetlights in Navarre by completing the City’s survey accessible on the City’s website. Struve noted the survey deadline is July 9. McMillan asked whether the deadline for the survey should be extended. Struve indicated the City started the survey June 9 and that it would cost the City an additional fee for another month if the time period was extended. McMillan asked how many surveys the City has received. Struve indicated he has received three or four as well as a few that were handed in at the last meeting on Navarre but that he has not checked with the City Clerk recently. Loftus stated the City Clerk indicated she has received 12 surveys online. Printup commented he is happy to see the brush site was opened and that he would encourage the Council to consider having a year-round City brush pile. Loftus noted she did discuss that with the Public Works Department today and the only available spot on the City Hall campus is near a wetland and the ground is too wet. At this time the City does not have another site to locate it on and the issues associated with it would be whether it would be left open and unmanned and how much debris would be accepted. Loftus stated if the City chose a site that is not located on the City’s campus, they would probably end up with residents from other areas as well as contractors dumping at the site.
