MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 11, 2008 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />Charles Reid, 1400 Baldur Park Road, addressed the City Council regarding the lot next door to his <br />property. Reid stated he has experienced some difficulty with getting some straight answers from the <br />City regarding the property and the exact location of the residence. Reid stated the staking of the house is <br />approximately two feet different than what it should be. The building inspector has reviewed the property <br />and indicated that it looked like it was within the normal setback. Reid indicated it was his understanding <br />the house was going to be relocated further back, which is not being done. <br /> <br />Reid stated apparently the City does not have a clear answer on the location of the house and that he will <br />be reviewing the minutes to see exactly what was discussed and agreed upon. Reid requested that some <br />type of meeting be held to discuss this issue. <br /> <br />White asked who Mr. Reid has spoken with on Staff. <br /> <br />Reid indicated he spoke with Planner Turner and the building inspector. <br /> <br />Turner stated the plans were approved in February and that it appears the front of the house is located 12 <br />inches in front of Mr. Reid’s house. <br /> <br />Reid stated once the screw point was put in and you could see where the foundation was going to be set, it <br />was forward of the house. <br /> <br />Turner stated she did speak with the building inspector and that to her understanding the location of the <br />house is where it is supposed to be. <br /> <br />Reid stated the building inspector told him he would call him back but that he did not receive a response, <br />so he came tonight to express his concerns. <br /> <br />White requested the City Administrator look into this situation tomorrow. <br /> <br />Murphy stated the average lakeshore setback is a very important issue to the City and requested that Staff <br />take the necessary steps to ensure that the house is being constructed in the correct location. <br /> <br /> <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br /> <br />3. #08-3372 CITY OF ORONO CODE AMENDMENT – REVISION OF CHAPTER 86, <br />REVISE BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />Turner noted this code amendment has been reviewed twice previously by the Council and that the <br />additional changes requested by the Council have been incorporated into the amendment. Staff has added <br />language stating that the building official can exempt a project from a foundation survey and an as-built <br />survey if it is found to be unnecessary and also added language clarifying that the surveys need to be <br />completed by a licensed land surveyor, with a letter prepared by a registered land surveyor being <br />acceptable in lieu of an actual foundation survey. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PAGE 3 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 08/25/08 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/11/08 [Page 3 of 7]
