MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 23, 1992 ZONING FILES #1493 & 1570 - CONT. Mabusth explained, per a recent letter from Mr. Downey that he is not proceeding with the structural improvements. In 1982 the City granted approval of setback variances for the installation of a detached garage and hardcover in the 75 -250' setback area was approved at 45 %. In the current hardcover inventory, hardcover was shown at 59% due to a change in policy regarding the calculation of hardcover. During the 1982 review it was suggested that the applicant provide a back -out apron. During the most current review, the City Engineer advised that the apron could not function properly because of the Iocation of Casco Point Road. The applicant has obtained a permit for the deck. The applicant questions the need to now remove the hardcover scheduled for removal per the approval resolution. Butler clarified that the hardcover removals were scheduled to off- set the additional construction, which has not happened. She felt If the construction does not occur, the hardcover scheduled for removal can remain. It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Butler, to direct staff with regard to Applications #1493 and #1570 for Chuck Downey of 2665 Casco Point Road' to not require the hardcover removals on the property provided a building permit is not issued for additional construction. Ayes 5, nays 0. ( #7) LICENSE DENIAL - GAYLES MARINA - RESOLUTION #3204 Jabbour abstained from discussion of this item. Gaffron stated the City Attorney has suggested changes to the draft resolution deleting reference to the number of slips allowed, as the code does not directly address this issue and it should not be a reason for denial of a license. Butler asked if a judge would laugh at the City because of the lack of past enforcement of the licensing requirement. Barrett felt the City has decided to now proceed formally with the license requirement. He noted the resolution does not suggest denial of the license due to past history of the property. Callahan suggested deletion of the paragraph beginning with "further be it resolved ". Barrett felt that would be appropriate and did not feel it necessary to wait until December 31st to take action.
