MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 14, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />    Page 20 of 23   <br />(MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT, Continued) <br /> <br />Loftus asked if the Council would like the information presented at the public hearing to be more general <br />or more detailed. <br /> <br />Levang stated in her view it should be specific to the Orono portion, which would be the gateway and <br />then the additional stretch of road. <br /> <br />McMillan requested Staff check to see if they are available in November and that Council would have a <br />better idea of what type of information would be required following the October work session. McMillan <br />stated in her view the City should have a short meeting perhaps prior to the November Council meeting to <br />answer the residents’ questions. <br /> <br />Printup noted there is a joint City Council/Planning Commission work session, and asked what is going to <br />be on the agenda. <br /> <br />Levang indicated it would be on the Lakeview Golf Course. <br /> <br />Printup stated he does not remember reading Lakeview and that perhaps the notice could be more <br />informative than simply public hearing process. <br /> <br />Loftus noted Staff has asked all the Council members to come in on their off week and join the Planning <br />Commission for a work session prior to the Planning Commission’s 6:30 meeting in October. The <br />Planning Commission will be discussing the Lakeview Golf Course’s request for a comprehensive plan <br />amendment later that evening. Loftus indicated it will be a fairly large subdivision application and will <br />be a big change to the area. <br /> <br />Loftus stated the work session will allow the Council to understand the process and the requirements <br />associated with that application. The work session and Planning Commission meeting are open to the <br />public and Staff will provide sufficient public notice. Loftus indicated the discussion will be general and <br />will not be specifically discussing the sketch plan but will be more related to the process that will be <br />followed. Loftus stated the intent is to get both the City Council and the Planning Commission prepared <br />for what is being requested. The Lakeview application is scheduled to come before the Council on <br />November 12. <br /> <br />Loftus noted another item on the agenda is alternative energy systems and the public is also invited to <br />comment on that. Loftus indicated both items are advertised on the city’s website for public input. <br /> <br />Printup noted the Long Lake Fire Department event was a success and that the memorial looks very nice. <br /> <br />Printup indicated he also visited the new learning pavilion and that the area has some beautiful scenery. <br />Printup stated he has not been in that area for 25-plus years and that the visit brought back a lot of good <br />memories. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the school also thanked Orono Staff for their help with permitting of the pavilion and that <br />the Long Lake Fire Department thanked the Orono Public Works Department for their assistance in <br />grading the site. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 10/28/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 10/14/2013 [Page 20 of 23]
