MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,June 11,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> Carolyn O'Shaughnessy, 1265 Bracketts Point Road,stated she has a large issue in her yard again this <br /> year with geese and that in the past they have used Canadian Goose Management,which is a licensed <br /> company,to help safely remove the geese. The gentleman who runs it has been in business for 30 years. <br /> O'Shaughnessy stated when she went to do that this year,she learned that the DNR has changed the <br /> process and a permit is now required. O'Shaughnessy stated the City in which you live has to have a plan <br /> in place to do so and the DNR representative suggested that perhaps someone from the City of Orono <br /> could be assigned to work with her. <br /> Mayor Walsh recommended she contact Jeremy Barnhart. <br /> Loren Schoenzeit,4480 Forest Lake Landing,stated his street and Wildhurst Trail are on the list of streets <br /> for repairs this year and that the City has held a public hearing,information sessions,and open houses on <br /> the proposed improvements. Schoenzeit requested the comments that have been received and accepted <br /> from the public and red lined on the plans actually get put into the plans because if it is not on the plan,it <br /> will not be built that way. Schoenzeit commented as long as the City is going to spend all this money to <br /> fix the road,he would like to make sure it is fixed the way it should be. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in speaking with the contractor,he indicated some of the streets in the area will be <br /> receiving curb and gutter,which costs about$10 a foot. Schoenzeit stated he would like to have curb and <br /> gutter installed at his house and that he is willing to pay for it. Schoenzeit indicated he would like <br /> permission from the City to do that. <br /> Mayor Walsh suggested he speak with Adam Edwards because he is the one who is dealing with the <br /> contractor. Walsh noted curb and gutter is a policy decision and that the City typically does not put in <br /> curb and gutter in front of one house and not the other houses on the road. <br /> Schoenzeit noted they are putting it on the other streets,including Wildhurst Trail,which is next to his <br /> street. <br /> Edwards noted Wildhurst Trail is a complete reconstruction project and Forest Lake Landing is a mill and <br /> overlay with some storm work at the very end of the road. The curb and guttering on Wildhurst is part of <br /> the overarching redesign of Wildhurst and on Forest Lake Landing it is not. Edwards indicated they have <br /> redesigned the storm water on Wildhurst with additional catch basins to help capture the water,which <br /> should help alleviate some of the issues on Forest Arms Landing. <br /> Schoenzeit stated having lived there for more than 25 years,he can intimately describe the issues,but that <br /> they need to translate these good ideas and get those changes onto the plans so they can be done while the <br /> machines are there. Schoenzeit indicated he has experienced water up to his garage door at times and that <br /> with a few changes,the situation will be a lot better. <br /> Crosby suggested he also speak with the neighbors to see if they are willing to pay for the extra curb and <br /> gutter. <br /> Page 2 of 20 <br />
