` MINUTES OF THE REGUI.�R ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 13, 1985 PAGE 6 <br /> Councilmember Grabek asked how the MWCC recommends 20 units <br /> for the Art Center. <br /> City Engineer Cook stated that the MWCC doesn' t consider the <br /> use of the building, but assesses units by square footage and <br /> how many people can fit in a classroom. Cook noted that if a <br /> building has a kitchen in it they assess many units just for <br /> that. <br /> City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the Art Center is <br /> in the process of negotiating �aith the MWCC through Jo Ellen <br /> Hurr and trying to get that unit number reduced. <br /> Bernhardson noted that Hurr is pursuing the matter to have <br /> the MWCC justify the 24 units , and therefore such number <br /> could be subject to change. <br /> Councilmember L. Adams felt that even 10 units may be too much <br /> for the Art Center and that 7-8 sounds more feasible. <br /> Judy Christensen of 1251 Brown Road South felt that the <br /> Council should not pick numbers out of the air. <br /> Marion Gray, Art Center representative, noted that the Art <br /> Center is lucky if 30 people a day visit the gallery. Gray <br /> noted that the NWCC' s calculations do not take into account <br /> the actual use of the center. <br /> Gary Printup of 1261 Briar Street asked the Art Center <br /> representatives if they have had their septic system back up <br /> or the tanks pumped this spring. <br /> Marian Gray stated yes the tanks were pumped. Gray noted <br /> there are no washing machines or shower facilities in the Art <br /> Center. <br /> Eve Drummond of 2160 Prospect Avenue argued that the Art <br /> Center is being used more than the representatives are <br /> indicating. Drummond stated that she has had her own <br /> driveway blocked at times from cars that use the Art Center. <br /> Mayor Butler closed the public hearing at 8 : 06 p.m. <br /> Councilmember L. Adams felt that he needed more information <br /> to help arrive at the number of units that should be assessed. <br /> Adams felt it may be less than 10 units. Adams asked if the <br /> City could estimate the water usage. <br /> Councilmember T. Adams felt that there must be a rational <br /> approach to determine the number of units for the Art Center. <br /> Councilmember Grabek felt that if the City is going to assess <br />, the Art Center based on capacity, then the City should also <br /> determine exactly how many people can live in one home and <br /> � that more sewer units might be needed for some of the larger <br />
