MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 28, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 14 (5. #13-3629 RYAN AND STACY ALNESS, 1169 NORTH ARM DRIVE, SUBDIVISION – RESOLUTION NO. 6335, Continued) Struve indicated the work involved would be removing the controls off of the pole and relocating them and then some internal work on the lift station would also need to be completed. The actual manhole will not be relocated. The improvements that were outlined to Mr. and Mrs. Alness were replacing the top access panel to make it a drivable access point along with a few other minor items. The lift station itself will not be moved but a drivable hatch will be installed. Struve stated he is not sure whether that will solve the access issues completely but that it is a start. McMillan asked what other costs might be associated with this project. Struve stated the drivable rated hatches are pretty standard and it just needs to be measured and then ordered. McMillan asked when the controls would be moved. Struve stated it is in the CIP for 2014 but that it is not set in stone. Bremer noted she was not in attendance at the last City Council meeting but that she would be interested in knowing whether any of the Council Members would change their opinion or if this has alleviated their concerns. Levang stated the Council was dealing with the Special Lot Combination and that access was not really discussed since it was a separate issue. McMillan stated in her opinion the City Council needs to go forward with the denial resolution tonight and that it is up to the applicant to pursue the access issue. Mattick stated the new application would be a request to terminate the Special Lot Agreement but it would be slightly different given the access being resolved. McMillan stated it comes down to the legal language contained in the Special Lot Agreement and that under the subdivision rules it requires a conforming lot. McMillan stated the City cannot make any guarantees that the request will be approved. Mattick stated the issue with the lot size will remain but that the access issue would make it a different application. Levang moved, Anderson seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6335, a Resolution Denying a Request to Extinguish a Special Lot Combination and Denying a Subdivision of the property located at 1169 North Arm Drive. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0, Printup and Bremer Abstained. Item #03 - CC Agenda - *11/12/2013 Approval of Council Minutes 10/28/2013 [Page 6 of 14]
