MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 10, 2008 7:00 o’clock p.m. __________________________________________________________________________________ (8. #08-3343 STRONG ARM CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, ON BEHALF OF AMIT SELA, 460 EAST LONG LAKE ROAD, Continued) Betty Hamann, East Long Lake Road, Dan and Greg Hamman, sons of Betty Hamann, and Mr. Thorson, Attorney-at-Law, were present. Miller noted the applicant is requesting a lot line rearrangement to resolve a situation that was discovered following the purchase of 460 East Long Lake Road by his client. Miller indicated a survey completed after the purchase determined that the presumed lot lines were incorrect and that all parties have agreed to the lot line rearrangement as an amicable solution to the situation. Miller indicated an issue with drainage was raised, but to his knowledge that has been resolved by the granting of an easement. Kellogg stated Parcel B could grant a 10-foot wide drainage easement to handle the drainage between the two lots. Turner illustrated the flow of the drainage between the two lots on the overhead. Rahn asked whether the 15 percent structural coverage was calculated on the entire lot and not just the dry buildable. Turner indicated the structural coverage is calculated on the entire lot. Bremer stated she would be willing to approve the resolution subject to the easement being granted. Bremer moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5735, a Resolution Approving a Lot Line Rearrangement for Properties Located at 460 and 450 East Long Lake Road, and to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5734, a Resolution Granting Variances to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-305, for the property located at 460 East Long Lake Road, subject to the City receiving an easement agreement between the parties granting a 10-foot easement along the property lines to resolve the drainage or revising the drainage plan to include a swale on the southern property. Thorson asked whether the swale would be centered along the two properties or located entirely on the Sela property. Kellogg stated he did speak with the surveyor this afternoon and the surveyor indicated he was fairly confident that the grade could be reduced along the south side of the new residence. Kellogg recommended the swale be centered on the two property lines to avoid there being two separate swales. Thorson noted if the swale is located entirely on the Sela property, some mature trees would likely be lost. Kellogg stated based on the drainage plan he has reviewed, it is likely the mature trees will be compromised even if the swale is located in the center of the two lots.
