MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 9, 2015 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 33 of 43  <br />  <br />(12. #15-3708 CITY OF ORONO – AMEND ZONING CODE SECTION 78-1405(A)(8) – <br />STANDARDS FOR FENCES AS A NON-ENCROACHMENT, continued) <br /> <br />Walsh stated the other item he would like to add is that anybody who has an existing fence can rebuild or <br />replace with a like, kind existing fence. Walsh stated in his view that would be fair. Walsh noted there is <br />also a state statute that talks about that someone can rebuild with a like, kind structure, and that he would <br />like to include that in the fence ordinance as well. <br /> <br />Mattick stated that is state law and that someone does have the right to replace something in like, kind and <br />quality. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated that can be added and that he would like to bring the draft ordinance back in two weeks. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Levang seconded, to table Application No. 15-3708, City of Orono, Amend Zoning <br />Code Section 78-1405(a)(8) – Standards for Fences as a Non-Encroachment. VOTE: Ayes 5, <br />Nays 0. <br /> <br />8:00 P.M. – HRA ANNUAL MEETING <br /> <br />HRA meeting was held after Item No. 19. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT <br /> <br />13. WATERTOWN ROAD AND STUBBS BAY ROAD <br /> <br />Edwards noted earlier today he sent the City Council a copy of some of the cost estimates for the <br />upcoming road projects. Edwards stated on the agenda tonight is Phase I of Watertown Road from <br />Stubbs Bay to Old Crystal Bay and then Stubbs Bay to Watertown Road South. The City Council <br />discussed last October that the project would be broken up into different phrases. At that meeting the <br />City Council approved engineering services for surveying, design, and bidding of reconstruction by <br />reclamation of Stubbs Bay Road. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated he has a couple of revised numbers from what was included in the packet based on <br />some information recently received from Bolton & Menk. The estimated costs for doing the section of <br />Stubbs Bay Road from Watertown Road to Bayside Road is $382,360, and the estimate for Watertown <br />Road from Stubbs Bay to Old Crystal Bay Road is $824,200. The revisions increased the number a little <br />bit for Watertown Road and decreased it for Stubbs Bay Road, which resulted in the overall cost going <br />down slightly. <br /> <br />Edwards stated Watertown Road is an MSA eligible road but Stubbs Bay Road is not eligible for MSA <br />funding. The funding sources for this project include $969,505 in MSA funding. Resources could also <br />be allocated from other funds, such as the General Fund Reserve, which currently has $346,071, and the <br />Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund, which has a balance of $820,000. Both of these projects also <br />include stormwater management and that portion of the project could come out of the City’s stormwater <br />funding.
