MIIVUTES OF THE - ORUNO CITY COUNCIL�4IEETIl�iG Mondxy,Mareb I4,2Q16 7:U0 o'clock p.m. 9. #lb-3$03 STONEWOOD,LLC,UN BEHALF OF TASHITAA TUFAA,1830 SHORELINE DRI'VE,VARiANCES AND CONDTTIONAL U3E PERMIT(continuad) Libby stata�part of the reason he attends these mee#ings is for the other 16 property own�s that are in this neighborhoad. Libby stated one of the intrinsic values to this neighborhood is the fact that the residents can use the dvcks and park on the street. The majority of the residents have historically used the parking along the west side of Heritage Lane for many decades. Libby noted there is an ac�ition in the amended plan that he was not aware of negarding the driveway alignment. Libby statod tlyat was not what they had discussed at the Last meeting and that the alt�rnstive that wes suggested was basod oa a statutory compliance that there must be an egress or tumarouad,which has been in eff�ct si�e198G. Libby staoted he daes not see any effart to revise the driveway. Libby noted he asked the developer if thcy had taken�ny method of c�sign or c�nsideration for a diffe�ent type of turnamund or roundabout and he said no because they did not have a requirement to explare a differ�nt desiga. The develaper stated they are eatidad to the right to use Heritagc Lane as a secc��,d egress and that it would be prohibited by law to enfarce or to prohibit them from having that carb cut. Libby stated he was not able tc�respond to thst because he is not an attorney but that perhaps the City Attoraey cauld respond to that. Libby atated tradition�ally 16 homeowners,with the fuiure development of two lots,have becn using this area to parlc in amd�er to briag provisions and family and guests to use their boats. 4s a result of the curb cut and turning radius,they will not only be d�eprived of one parlcing lot but actually two parldng spots in each direction. Libby stated that deprives the residents of Fox�iill to pazk there and that in reality they will lose about 12 parking spaces total. Libby stated the residents will alsfl have to put up with const�uction for the aext five yeara�which will be a m�jor inconveaience. Libby s�ated while the residents and the Council respect the property rights of every individual,the Cauncil cen�not.do that es a governing body at the cost and inconvenience of the many over the good of the few,which is alao atated in t#�e City's Charter. Libby stated until future ivesearch is done and the City Attorney determines there are legal pnnvisions that give the Tufaa's the right to have the two curb cuts, the Council should nat move forwazd with this application. McMillan n.oted the16 docks is an Qutlot situation and that Qne of the reason why Omno stopped having outlots is because all the cars have to c�ngregate in that area in order to use them. McMillan stated other cities arnund the lake a11ow ouflots but that Orono is probably the strictest cit�regarding oudots. McMillan asked how many outlots the City has. Cra�'i`on stated to his knowledge the City iss►ies 12 or 14 joint use dock licenses per year. Ga�ron stated this situation is relatively unique compared to the rest of them s�nce many of thase do not have a need far parking and most of the residents can walk to their docks. Page 15 of 37
