, <br /> MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 24, 1985_ PAGE 19 <br /> PAUL SMITH SEWER delay that would otherwise result. Radio noted that OPTION <br /> (CONT. ) A proposes the easement adjacent to the existing driveway <br /> while OPTION C proposes the easement in the existing <br /> driveway. <br /> Mrs. Powers noted that there is a misunderstanding in regard <br /> to the easement in that they understood that the $2 , 000 <br /> amount was for the driveway easement. Powers felt that the <br /> City of Orono should pay zero and that Smith should have to pay <br /> 100� for the sewer project. Powers noted that they feel they <br /> have lost $50 ,000-100, 000 over the past three years because <br /> they cannot sell their home because they cannot guarantee a <br /> new owner that the yard will not be torn up. <br /> City Attorney Radio asked if the Powers would be interested <br /> in Option C. <br /> Mrs. Powers stated no. <br /> Councilmember L. Adams felt that it would be inappropriate to <br /> start condemnation proceedings immediately and suggested <br /> that Smith be required to set up an escrow fund. <br /> Councilmember Frahm moved, Mayor Butler seconded, to direct <br /> staff to coordinate the following: <br /> l. Paul Smith to set $l, 000 in escrow within 7 business days <br /> or the City will begin condemnation. <br /> 2. Start condemnation proceedings to get easement limiting <br /> the legal fees at $500 . <br /> 3. Draw up an easement contract between the City of Orono, <br /> Smith, and Powers and signed within the next 15 days. <br /> 4.
