MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 24', 1992 ( #10) MARINA LICENSE REVIEW — NORTH SHORE DRIVE MARINA LAKESIDE MARINA GAYLE'S MARINA Gaffron explained that the Lake Use Committee has recommended denial of the three marina licenses,. based on specific code violations, which violations can be enforced. Callahan explained the Lake Use Committee based its recommendation on the fact that if the licenses were denied, there may be a problem with enforcement, whereas, if approved, nothing would get done in the near future to improve the situation. He felt that if the marinas were in violation of the code, they should not be granted a license. He added the Committee did not see a point in punishing the marinas in violation, and rather is more involved in updating the code which would deal with enforcement issues. Butler said not only are the marinas violating sections of the zoning code, but by not having a license, they would also violate the licensing code. Callahan felt they should have the City Attorney review the issue to make sure there truly is a violation. Butler suggested that the Lake Use Committee concentrate on updating the ordinance. Callahan stated they had started to do that but marina owners want a response from the City each year as to whether they have a. marina license. Goetten stated Callahan has done much work on the. Lake Use Committee to get these issues going. It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Callahan, to deny. 1992 marina licenses for the following North Shore Drive Marina, Lakeside Marina, and Gayle's Marina. Barrett suggested the Council adopt resolutions officially denying each of these license requests. Goetten amended her motion to direct staff to draft appropriate denial resolutions. Callahan seconded the amendment. Ayes 4, nays 0. Jabbour abstained. 7
