WOODHILL AVENUE - AWARD OF BIDS
• RESOLUTION
The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing
were noted.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the purpose of
the public hearing to determine if the public street
improvement for Woodhill Avenue should be undertaken.
The proposed improvement is a result of a recent
x
subdivision in the vicinity which is served by a private
road but is served through Woodhill Avenue. The
developer of this subdivision, John McDowell, has agreed
to pay 75% of the street improvement costs. The city
received bids for the improvement on May 20, 1988. He
noted that a 4/5's vote would be required if the Council
:1
chooses to assess the abutting three property owners and
to order the project in; and a 3/5's vote would be
required to order the project in if the Council chooses
not to assess the abutting property owners. Council also
'{{
has the options to table the matter for two weeks, or
I
reject the bids and have it rebid, or choose not to do
the project.
John McDowell was present . for this matter and had no
comments.
David Lindstrom, 1315 Woodhill Avenue, stated he
•
understood the safety aspect concerns related to the
proposed improvement, however, he felt that this
improvement never would have been proposed without the
subdivision. He stated he lived 20' off of Orono

public hearing was closed.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Sime, that the Council approved the
}.
project for Woodhill Avenue to be undertaken; and accept
the bid. Motion, Ayes 2, Nays 2. Councilmembers
Goetten and Peterson voted nay. Motion tied::.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
+
Councilmember Sime, to table the matter until the July
11, 1988 Council meeting. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 1.
Councilmember Peterson voted nay. Motion carried.
Councilmember Sime noted the improbability of getting a
`±
4/5's vote on this issue at the July 11th meeting.
Therefore, he recommended that the matter be held in
abeyance until the July 25th meeting.
•
Council felt that tabling the matter further would not
necessarily guarantee obtaining a 4/5's vote.
City Administrator Bernhardson also noted that the bids
would expire by the July 25th meeting.
Councilmember Goetten noted the history of two nay votes
throughout this-issue and felt this outcome should have
been anticipated.
•,
City Administrator Bernhardson stated it was his
understanding that the opposition was mainly. on the
assessment to the abutting property owners and not
necessarily against the project being undertaken.
Councilmember Peterson asked how wide Woodhill Avenue
currently is and technically what width should the road
be?
.a
h
:.S
City Engineer Cook stated that the road is currently
16' or 18' wide. The road should be at least 20' wide,
but it is recommended to build roads 24' wide because
of the tendancy for the side of the pavement breaking
up.

PARR COMMISSION COMMENTS
PARR USAGE SURVEY
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request
to authorize conducting a survey to determine the Parks
and Recreation needs for the City of Orono.
Councilmember Peterson asked why the cost for the survey
would come from the general fund rather than the Park
fund?
Public Works Director Gerhardson stated that the Park
Dedication Fund states very clearly the uses for the
• fund monies, and a survey is not among those uses.,
Councilmember Sime felt that $2,500 to conduct the
survey was excessive.
Public Works Director Gerhardson explained that the
$2,500 cost includes copying, mailing, and return mail
to approximately 2,700 households.-
It was moved by Councilmember Sime, to deny the request.
No second, motion failed.

BOHNS POINT FEASIBILITY STUDY

feasibility study based on a petition received regarding

what interest the Council has, if any, on the public
takeover of Bohns Point Circle,, which is currently
privately owned but publicly maintained. Should the City
choose to do any public work on the Circle portion of
the road, the City would by necessity have to take it
over. He noted that the petition represents 51% of the
street frontage property owners.
Councilmember Goetten voiced concern with the City -,
dealing with private /public roads in future planning and
arbitrarily taking over the private roads.
Acting Mayor Callahan stated he had no desire to take
over Bohns Point Circle. In addition, he was not sure
the road needed to be widened. Therefore, he felt
Council should reject the request for the feasibility
study.
Councilmember Goetten asked if the Ulrich project was
responsible in part for upgrading the road if needed
when the project was completed?

agreed to repair damage done to the roads from the

City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request
from Paul Larson to amend the solicitor's ordinance as
it relates to requiring to place solicitation on
commercially zoned property. Staff recommends that the
current -language and ordinance be retained. He noted

REQUEST FOR.ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
- ANIMAL CONTROL
-FENCE HEIGHT
John Hollander was present for this matter and stated
that the animal control matter has been resolved.
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request
from Mr. Hollander to review the current.3 -1/2' high
fence limitations in relation to the setback areas. Mr.
Hollander has noted other split rail fences that have
been constructed in his neighborhood in which the posts
are generally 4- 1/2' -5' in height and cross bars are 4'-
5' in height. Mr. Hollander has requested to be allowed
to construct a similar fence and staff has indicated to
him that City code does not allow such construction.
Mr. Hollander stated that almost every split rail fence
in the City is in violation of the ordinance. He
suggested, rather than going after all these fence
violations, that the Council amend the ordinance tc
allow split rail fences to be at 4 -1/2' in height; and
allow him to construct a split rail fence the same as
his neighbors'. He stated that depending on what the
City does regarding the enforcement of the fence height
violation, and by not Allow him to have the same height
fence as his neighbors, he may have a discriminator3
action against the City.

REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT -FENCE HEIGHT CONTINUED
Zoning Administrator Mabusth clarified that the code
• currently does not allow the post height of fences to
exceed 3 -1/2'.
Planning Commissioner Bellows felt that the openess of a
fence should be considered in conjunction with the
allowable fence height. She felt that the post height
for a split rail fence would almost have to exceed 3-
1/2' in height, but the cross rails could be limited to
3 -1/2' in height.
Acting .Mayor Callahan felt that Mr. Hollander's comments
regarding the height of split rail fences is a
legitimate complaint.
Council directed staff to draft language to amend the
fence height• ordinance for Council to review and pass:, on
to the Planning Commission to review and make a
recommendation on amending the ordinance.
STUBBS BAY - FEASIBILITIY UPDATE
City Administrator Bernhardson explained the issue of
determining whether the Council wants to undertake an
updating of the feasibility report for the inclusion of
areas not previously included in the 1984 study. The
cost for the feasibility report would be $4,500.00.
• Councilmember Sime felt strongly that Council should
first determine the affected resident interest in having
this feasibility study done prior to authorizing the
study.
Assistant Zoning Administrator Gaffron stated there
would likely be a mixture of support and opposition from
the affected residents to the issue of installing
municipal sewer.
Acting Mayor Callahan agreed with Gaffron, and stated
that the Council must ultimately decide if the study is
necessary. He also voiced concern with .the City being
nickled and dimed for different types of feasibility
studies.
Councilmember Sime stated he did not believe the City
should spend more money until the probability of doing
the project is determined. He voiced concern with the
City handling this study in a better way than the
Crystal Bay sewer project was handled.
City Administrator Bernhardson stated that knowing the
cost of the project may have an impact on the support
and opposition of the project.

STUBBS BAY,FEASIBILITY UPDATE CONTINUED
Councilmembers Goetten and Sime were concerned with the
• costs being outdated after the long process of the study
has been completed.
City Engineer Cook explained the cost index guide which
helps to estimate. changes in costs without substantial
off ort .
Councilmember Sime recommended that the residents be
involved in the study.
Based on Council's comments, City Administrator
Bernhardson acknowledged two items of information that
would be important in deciding to go ahead would be: 1)
The interest of the residents, what properties would be
included in the project, and the cost involved. Staff
would recommend the feasibility study be undertaken . to
determine the costs. 2) Outlining the process to avoid
the Crystal Bay situation.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Peterson, that the Council authorize the
City Engineer to undertake the update of the Stubbs Bay
feasibility study as outlined April 28, 1988 to be
completed and submitted for Council review at the July
11, 1988 meeting. Motion, Ayes 3, Nays 1.
Councilmember Sime voted nay based on his previous
• statements and felt that City Engineer Cook could make a
reasonable estimate of the project cost without the
neccessity of the feasibility study; and in his opinion,
the costs will be prohibitive. Motion carried.
In response to Councilmember Sime's nay comment, City
Engineer Cook concurred that he did not feel the costs
would greatly change from the other unit costs, but
there is a lot of information he does not know yet. He
predicts the unit costs will be somewhere between $10-
15,000.
