MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 9, 2007 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />(6. #07-3280/3281 VOGUE ICF HOMES, 1348 AND 1350 REST POINT CIRCLE, Continued) <br /> <br />Kellogg stated it is beneficial that the two lots are being developed at the same time because it allows the <br />swale to be centered down the two properties. <br /> <br />Turner noted the swale would also be located within an easement, which would prohibit the property <br />owners from altering the swale. <br /> <br />David Boise, 1360 Rest Point Circle, stated he can attest to the large amount of water that comes down <br />the hill but that he feels his runoff concerns have been handled. Boise expressed a concern regarding the <br />massing on the lot. <br /> <br />Vogstrom stated the homes that are being proposed are not large homes and only have a small two-car <br />garage. Vogstrom noted that both homes are two and a half feet lower than the road, which helps to <br />reduce the appearance of massing. <br /> <br />McMillan inquired whether these two homes are identical on the exterior. <br /> <br />Vogstrom stated they are two different style homes with different interior layouts. Vogstrom noted the <br />only similarity is the angled garage on each home. <br /> <br />Turner noted the two homes also have different rooflines. <br /> <br />Vogstrom stated he would take care to make sure that the two homes are not too much alike and pointed <br />out that the dimensions of the homes are different. <br /> <br />Denny Walsh stated at the last City Council meeting one of the issues is the amount of hardcover, which <br />has not been addressed. <br /> <br />White stated the Council would be discussing that issue in a few minutes. <br /> <br />McMillan inquired about the docks. <br /> <br />Vogstrom stated there are docks currently located on the properties and that there will probably be two <br />lifts installed. No final decision has been made on that item. <br /> <br />Turner stated currently each lot has a set of steps and that both sets of steps are currently unsafe and <br />would need to be replaced. <br /> <br />McMillan expressed a concern that docks will be installed at some point in the future as well as a deck <br />and a platform. McMillan stated she would like that issue clarified now rather than having to address it at <br />some point in the future. <br /> <br />Turner staed 1348 has a set of wood steps which are decrepit and could be replaced according to city <br />code. The steps at 1350 are a little more problematic because they shift over and are somewhat built in the <br />slope. The decks at 1350 will need to be removed. <br /> <br />Vogstrom stated he is willing to install a lift on each property and remove the steps. <br />PAGE 8 of 15 <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 07/23/07 <br />Approval of Counil Minutes April 9, 2007 [8 of 15]
