MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 26, 2012 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 10 of 12 (9. 2013 FEE SCHEDULE, Continued) Gaffron stated for the items that do not require an extensive amount of work by Staff, they should be able to do that before the next Council meeting. Loftus noted the City’s fee schedule is brought to Council in November so it can be published and effective in January. Vee indicated the fee schedule does need to be published before January. If the fee schedule is brought back in December, there will still be time to publish it before the end of the year. Franchot asked if there will be issues with docks on Long Lake. Gaffron stated there is the potential for some new lakeshore lots to be created on Long Lake sometime next year. Gaffron indicated the City does not have any dock standards at the present time. Franchot recommended that dock standards be dealt with in the near future. Curtis indicated the developer cannot submit an application until after a wetland delineation has been completed and that they likely will not see the application until sometime in the spring. McMillan asked if these are seasonal docks or permanent docks. Gaffron indicated they would be seasonal and a first time dock. Staff would need to look at the setbacks and other issues associated with the dock, which is what the $50 fee covers. Rahn stated Orono could simply adopt the LMCD standards. McMillan asked if Staff would also like standards for existing docks on Long Lake or whether it would just be for new docks. Rahn stated the LMCD has standards for every type of dock. Franchot noted first time docks get charged a fee. Gaffron noted a person approached the City Council earlier this year requesting permission to put a new dock out close to the west lot boundary. One of the standards was to meet a 10-foot standard so it would not impact the neighbor. Gaffron indicated that is an example where it would be nice to have a formal code in place. Gaffron stated he can bring this item back to the City Council at their next meeting. Franchot moved, Printup seconded, to table the 2013 Fee Schedule to the December 10 City Council meeting. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. *10. AUTHORIZATION TO DISBURSE FUNDS FOR CLAIMS RECEIVED Franchot moved, Printup seconded, to authorize the City Treasurer to disburse city funds in payment of claims received for the December 24 Council meeting which has been canceled, and that such paid claims be presented for formal approval at the January 14, 2013, City Council meeting. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Item #04 - CC Agenda - 12/10/2012 Approval of Council Minutes 11/26/2012 [Page 10 of 12]
