( #10) ORDINANCE AMENDMENT CHAPTER 5.42 - ORDINANCE #117, SECOND SERIES Gaffron referred to the draft ordinance presented in December 1992 which separates the joint use dock license from the marina licenses. He noted the addition of a suspension of the marina license in the ordinance allowing the City to remove the license • for a shorter period of time than an entire year. It would be considered a misdemeanor to operate without a license. • Staunton noted the City could build into its ordinance sanctions for the misdemeanor. Mayor Callahan stated it is as simple as no license, no operation ". Gaffron stated in the past Orono has been concerned that marinas do not make good neighbors. He referred to the list of permitted business uses included in the revised draft ordinance. He noted the license can be issued without meeting all the B -2 zone standards. Kelley felt some items on the list cannot be quantified. Gaffron replied that many of the standards included are directly from the existing B -2 standards. Jabbour asked if there has been input from marina owners. Gaffron noted that the marinas were notified of the proposed ordinance but he has not received any comments. Kelley asked if all marinas currently meet the 7 criteria set forth. 7
