MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 21,2014 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Johnson stated he would request the City not rezone the residential property next to him to commercial <br /> property as part of this application since he does not feel that would be fair or reasonable. <br /> Rich Anderson,North Shore Marina, stated he is not opposed to the fuel tank, but that he is opposed to <br /> combining the residential properties. Anderson indicated he might be okay with combining them since he <br /> own two residential properties down by Maxwell Bay and it would set a precedent. Anderson stated if <br /> that is a condition for allowing the fuel tank, in his view that is ridiculous. <br /> Anderson stated he would suggest the City grant a variance to move the tank to higher ground since it <br /> would have no more impact. At the proposed location, it is likely the tank will be ten feet in the ground. <br /> Anderson indicated he has a sump basket on his tank and a rain garden, but that he is not sure if it is <br /> watertight once it is under water. Anderson stated the area gets pretty wet when the lake is at 930' and <br /> that he would suggest moving it up closer to the 932' elevation. <br /> Anderson stated he is also not sure why they could not put the dispensing unit on the south dock versus <br /> rezoning the whole property to commercial. Anderson stated the reason the docks come out of the back <br /> side is that when the LMCD allowed Jim Rivers to redesign this,this was residential property. Anderson <br /> stated if it is converted to commercial,the docks may need to be relocated. <br /> Anderson stated he also has raised previously the issue with the stormwater management plan. Anderson <br /> noted all the other marinas have a stormwater management plan and that he keeps asking if that has been <br /> done in this case. Anderson noted he received a $1200 fine for not filing his on time and that he would <br /> ask the applicant be required to submit one. <br /> Schoenzeit asked how many gallons his tank is. <br /> Anderson indicated he has a 5,000 gallon tank and that he fills it once a week. Anderson noted the <br /> applicant could not put a 5,000 gallon tank on this site. Anderson stated he does not care if the applicant <br /> sells to the public but that is an issue for another day. <br /> David Feldshon, 1420 Shoreline Drive, stated he has well water at his property and that he understands <br /> they have not had problems with leaking before but that he does have concerns with the applicant putting <br /> an underground fuel storage tank in an area that is below grade. Feldshon stated he is not sure why an <br /> exception is being considered to the standard building practices. <br /> Feldshon noted there has been also been no discussion about rezoning the lots on the Tanager side <br /> previously and that he has no interest in seeing that rezoned. <br /> Acting Chair Landgraver closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. <br /> Landgraver stated the one statement he would like clarified is whether the City is actually talking about <br /> rezoning tax parcels 5, 6, and 7. Landgraver stated the issue of commercial zones versus residential <br /> comes into play when the upper parcel is included. <br /> Gaffron stated it would be parcels 5, 6, and 7. Gaffron stated if there is an existing easement that would <br /> allow marina use and facilities across the most northern of the three properties east of the road,then it is <br /> probably already covered in the easement. Gaffron stated the bigger issue is the setback of the tank from <br /> the north lot line. If the overlay is accurate, there should be a 10-foot side setback. <br /> Page 18 of 26 <br />
