MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 14, 2008 7:00 o’clock a.m. ______________________________________________________________________________ *7. #08-3366 JESSICA BROWN/PHIL LUSARDI, 45 MYRTLEWOOD ROAD – VARIANCE – RESOLUTION NO. 5758 Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5758, a Resolution Granting a Variance to Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-420, for the property located at 45 Myrtlewood Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 8. #08-3368 CITY OF ORONO, NAVARRE – REZONING – ORDINANCE NO. 46, THIRD SERIES Peter Johnson, Attorney-at-Law, was present on behalf of Bank of the Lakes. Murphy stated he did not put this on the Consent Agenda because he was unsure what exactly the bank was requesting. Murphy commented the Planning Commission minutes do not shed light on the bank issue. Johnson stated the bank would prefer not to be involved in the rezoning for the parcel they own and would prefer to maintain the status quo. Johnson noted one of the city’s ordinances states if you have split zoning on a parcel, you are allowed to use the zoning for 50 feet on either side of the line. In this particular case, the parcel is 93 feet wide and a line down the middle. Johnson stated both of the current zoning classifications essentially would cover almost the entire parcel if there was a plan to develop the land, which the bank currently does not have any plans to develop the property. Johnson requested the bank located at 2445 Shadywood Road not be included in the rezoning. White asked what the impact would be if that property is not included. Rahn noted the ordinance is designed to clean up the zoning in this area. Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt Exhibit B, ORDINANCE NO. 46, Third Series, An Ordinance Amending the Municipal Code of Orono and Amending the Official Zoning Map by Rezoning Portions of Properties Within the Block Bounded by Shadywood Road, Shoreline Drive, Kelly Avenue and Lydiard Avenue. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. *9. #08-3369 LUCI CHORLEY, 1860 AND 1880 FOX STREET – FINAL PLAT – RESOLUTION NO. 5659 Murphy moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5659, a Resolution Approving the Plat of Waldron Woods.
