MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 10, 1995 ( #3 - #2005 Sailors World - Continued) The application is for a conditional use permit to allow private boat club use for a • membership up to the level of 100 members and has been recommended for approval by the Planning Commission. The applicant has provided a table showing the use during pre, post, and busy seasons with regards to parking. Yearly confirmation of 25 off -site parking stalls would be required. The marina presently has 41 stalls in use on site and 20 off -site stalls for the peak times. 30 stalls are available through an agreement at the Art Center for the marina use. DeSantis reported this operation has been in effect for the past three years and noted that the boat club provides the best use when there is limited parking available. 75 slips are rentable at the marina. Callahan said clarification was needed in the resolution regarding limitations on the boat club membership as this was not noted in the findings or conclusions, order, and conditions portion of the resolution. Kelley questioned approving this CUP without the landscape plan installed. The landscape plan submitted is for screening of the storage facility. The City has a letter of credit and a developers agreement for the landscape project. A pollution problem is in the process of being analyzed and cleaned up. DeSantis reported geo- probes being conducted on three parking stall areas and the possibility of the need for monitoring wells. It is hoped that this problem will be cleared up before the end of the year. Ground water flow pollution from the nearby gas station might be affecting the marina property. • Kelley said he was not opposed to the boat club use but noted that the ordinance was originated to gain control over certain areas of operation. Smith said the Planning Commission asked for yearly certification in their recommendation. Kelley received confirmation that this would mean the license would not be issued if no certification is received regarding the parking stalls. Callahan was concerned with the marina relying on another commercial venture for their additional parking stalls. Mabusth said the times of peak use for each facility complements each others' operation. Callahan thought paragraph one of the resolution should be rewritten to speak to this issue. Callahan told Moorse that land use was not a good way of regulating an activity. Callahan felt more control is needed over this and asked Staff to give concern and thought over this issue. Callahan moved, Kelley seconded, for application's resolution be rewritten to recognize the 100 member limit and the 25 alternate parking stalls. Ayes 3, Nays 0, Abstain 1, Jabbour Abstain. is 2
