REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTEMBER 28 , 1981 Page 4 Mr. Douglas stated that any certified survey that NORTH SHORE DRIVE does not agree with his drawing is iri error, as MARINA he measured the area twice and had an architect (Continued) draw the sketch. Mr. Douglas measured from the timber retaining wall , asswuing that the elevation of the water maintained through Gray ' s Bay Dam is 929. 4 , the point a� which the lakeshore contacts the land constitutes 929. 4 , and then measured from where the retaining wall contacts the water . Bruce Douglas: We are looking for the three-year period maximum to bring the docks up to compliance,- Because of a cost of $50 , 000-$100 , 000 at a high interest rate , Mr._ Hork would need time to locate financing. Mr. Hork would propose that a written settlement of the existing litigation between both the City Council and the LMCD be effected by binding him without regard to any transfer of the property, (he has no intention to transfer) , that bringing the docks up to standards will be done within three years. This means, that if Mr . Hork is able to locate financing that is appropriate, he will do it in the spring, but it may have to be done in sections by himself. We are changing not only the physical location of the docks, but the type of dockage mix that will be available. There will be a reduction in the amount of longer docks and an increase in the number of shorter docks. Bruce Malkerson: Would you be proposing that if there were some agreement with the City, that you would submit a formal plan prior to dock installation, such as � the LMCD w�uld require, and at the end of the installation � of docks there would be a certified survey? Bruce Douglas : Yes, an inspection and certification. I intend to present to the LMCD this plan and believe they will approve it if Orono does. We intend to bring the docks into legal conformance . We would also like to see the property rezoned commercial as part of the stipulated settlement. Bruce Malkerson : I would suggest to the City Council that they consider that this matter has been in litigation for years, but it would be better to have an executive session for the Council to give me some direction or else direct me to meet with Mr . Douglas regarding the Council 's concerns, then a proposal will be submitted to Council for review and/or modification. Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to table the North Shore Drive Marina item until an executive session at the October l� , 1981 Council meeting with the City Attorney, to discuss procedures to resolve this matter . Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) .
