MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 28,2017 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> None <br /> 10. CRYSTAL BAY ROAD,RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJUSTMENT <br /> Barnhart reviewed his Staff inemorandum dated August 28,2017,regarding a request by a resident to <br /> adjust the right-of-way on Crystal Bay Road. Direction from the City Council at the last meeting was to <br /> verify the City had the right to vacate the unimproved right-of-way. Staff's recommendation is not to <br /> acquire the right-of-way due to the expense. <br /> Walsh stated the second issue Staff found out is that Crystal Bay Road is technically a private road owned <br /> by 28 different property owners. Given that it is a private road,the City cannot place a right-of-way over <br /> something the City does not own. The third issue is whether the current right-of-way is titled correctly. <br /> Walsh stated if it is not titled correctly, it will create other issues with the infrastructure in the street,and <br /> that the City will need to determine that prior to making a decision. <br /> Seals asked whether this situation is common around the lake. <br /> Barnhart stated there are a number of situations where the road does not necessarily follow the right-of- <br /> way. <br /> Printup moved,Crosby seconded,to not move forward on the vacation of the Crystal Bay Road <br /> right-of-way at this Nme and to direct Staff to research the Ntle work to determine who owns the <br /> right-of-way.
