MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 9, 2007 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />(8. BENJAMIN SACHS FOR DRK FAMILY ASSOCIATION, 2523 KELLY AVENUE, <br />Continued) <br /> <br />Turner stated it is wider than 12 feet but that there is a boulder wall along a portion of the driveway that <br />makes it difficult to maneuver. Staff would not recommend narrowing the driveway in that area and that <br />the driveway area up by the house also cannot really be reduced. Turner stated it would be difficult to <br />reduce this property to 25 percent. <br /> <br />White recommended the size of the deck be reduced. <br /> <br />Sachs stated he would like to replace the rotten wood at the same time he connects the two decks and that <br />if he is not allowed the full deck, he would not be going forward with the project. Sachs stated he is not <br />able to reduce the driveway up by the garage because he would not be able to access the garage if the <br />turnaround is reduced. <br /> <br />Rahn stated the two decks could be connected with a smaller amount of hardcover. <br /> <br />Sachs stated he currently does not have room on his decks to entertain. <br /> <br />White noted it appears that the vote right now is possibly two to two and that it might be best to wait until <br />the next council meeting to vote on this application when they have a full council present. <br /> <br />Bremer recommended the applicant consider in the meantime reducing the size of the deck. <br /> <br />Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, to table Application #07-3290, Benjamin Sachs for DRK Family <br />Association, 2523 Kelly Avenue. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Mayor White noted there will only be three council members present on August 27th. <br /> <br /> <br />9. PROCLAMATION – NATIONAL NIGHT OUT – RESOLUTION NO. 5637 <br /> <br />White noted National Night Out is scheduled for August 7, 2007. <br /> <br />Bremer recommended Staff put together an informational kit for distribution to the residents on how <br />neighborhoods can participate in this event. <br /> <br />McMillan moved, Bremer seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5637, a Resolution Proclaiming <br />National Night Out 2007.
