MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 12, 2007 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ (4. #06-3231 WILLIAM S. DAMPIER, 3550 IVY PLACE, Continued) Turner stated the structural coverage on the lot would increase from 14.87 to 16.18 and the hardcover in the 75-250 foot zone would decrease from 48.9 percent to 45.1 percent. Murphy commented he is amazed the applicant can remember all these details but that he is troubled by the fact the applicant did not realize he should have waited until the building permit was issued. Murphy stated given the reduction in the overall square footage of the deck and the reduction in runoff, he would not be opposed to the bump-out. White commented there are other problems with this property and requested the applicant clean up the materials between his property and the neighbors as soon as possible as part of this application. Dampier stated he would clean it up. White inquired how long it would take to complete the construction. Dampier stated as soon as the excavator can dig out the area, he would start work on the project and that he should have the front of the house completed by mid July at the latest. Dampier stated the exterior should be completed by the fall. Murphy requested the project be completed by Labor Day. Moorse stated since there is a concern regarding the clean-up, he would suggest that the council make the clean-up a condition of approval. Moorse inquired what action the City could take if the property is not cleaned up. Dampier stated the only area that is messy is the area that is directly affected by the construction and that he would be willing to relocate the piles of materials if the neighbors complain about the mess. Bremer stated it is the responsibility of the building official to make sure that the property gets cleaned up and that she does not necessarily feel it needs to be a condition of approval in this motion. City Attorney Poehler stated the issuance of the building permit could be conditioned upon the property being cleaned up or requiring the applicant to provide the City with a cash escrow. Dampier stated he would be willing to provide an escrow if the City requires it. Murphy stated the clean-up should be completed by Memorial Day and the project on the outside should be completed by Labor Day. Murphy noted the bump-out can only extend out 8.5 feet. Gaffron stated there would be 23 inches allowed for the cantilever and then the bump-out at 8.5 feet, with no deck extending beyond the bump-out. Murphy moved, McMillan seconded, to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution for Application #06-3231, William S. Dampier, 3550 Ivy Place, with the condition the property is cleaned up by Memorial Day and on the condition the exterior of the project is completed by Labor Day.
