MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 25, 1985. PAGE4 <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> John C. Ericson Sr. , 1620 Shadywood Road, was present to <br /> address the Council. He stated that he had previously <br /> appeared before the Council requesting to build a house on <br /> Shadywood Road, which Council denied. He referred to his <br /> letter and survey in their packets. Mr. Ericson believes <br /> that even though his two lots were legally combined for tax <br /> purposes, these lots were platted in 1896 as buildable 60 ' <br /> lots and the City should allow him to build on his lot. He <br /> noted that when the sewer came through, a stub was provided <br /> for both lots. Mr. Ericson requested the Council reconsider <br /> this matter. He also noted that he is willing to take this <br /> matter to the courts to decide. <br /> City Administrator Bernhardson noted that Mr. Ericson never <br /> filed a formal subdivision application, only an appeals <br /> application seeking an interpretation of the code. <br /> City Attorney Blatz noted that the courts tend to require <br /> that all formal procedures be exhausted before going to <br /> court. <br /> Mayor Butler stated that the problem is that the property was <br /> legally combined and needs to be legally subdivided to build. <br /> Councilmember Adams stated that he felt that there could be <br /> 13 to 16 potential situations just like Mr. Ericson ' s, and <br /> therefore it is worth taking to court. <br /> Councilmember Frahm indicated agreement with Councilmember <br /> Adams. <br /> Mayor Butler advised Mr. Ericson that if he wishes to pursue <br /> this matter he should go through the formal subdivision <br /> procedure. <br /> Curt Quady, 1223 Brown Road S. , was present and questioned if <br /> the City' s appraiser would be making appointments to <br /> appraise the Crystal Bay properties. <br /> City Administrator Bernhardson stated that they are in the <br /> process of working on details regarding the process of doing <br /> the appraisals in Crystal Bay. <br /> Mr. Quady questioned the actual lacation of the Spates public <br /> access, which City Administrator Bernhardson clarified for <br /> him. <br /> Mr. Quady also noted that he is against closing and/or <br /> regulating of public accesses. <br />
