MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 23, 1992 LICENSE DENIAL - GAYLES MARINA - CONT. Gaffron noted that the owner of the marina has been advised of this action and has made no attempt to contact the City. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to adopt Resolution #3204, denying the application of Gayle's Marina for a 1992 Commercial Marina License, with the paragraph beginning with "further be it resolved " deleted from that resolution. Ayes 4, nays 0. Jabbour abstained. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to direct staff to commence enforcement of non - compliance procedures. Gaffron explained the only enforcement clause of the code requires this to be handled as a misdemeanor and be issued a tag for the violation of operating without a license. He stated there.is not a code section requir'Ing the operation to cease because of the lack of a license. Callahan felt only one- ticket should be issued to the owner and added the property contains violations of the zoning code, which may provide other methods of enforcement. He felt the City should not consider litigation at this point. He stated the City will be considering new marina licensing regulations In the near future which will provide a more effective means for enforcing such non- compliance issues. Vote: Ayes 4, nays 0. Jabbour abstained. ( #8) INITIAL JOINT USE DOCK.LICENSE - PHEASANT LAWN HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION - RESOLUTION #3205 Mr. Forrer was present to represent the Association. Gaffron explained this is a request, perhaps 20+ years late, to allow a multiple dock system within the Pheasant Lawn subdivision. He stated the area was dredged in the late 1940s to create access via a channel to the lake. Five of the slips are associated with the multiple dock and a sixth dock is associated with an adjacent property owner. The homeowners' association was formed in 1979, many years after the docks were installed. There have not been any complaints. The code requires a joint dock license to be issued for the installation of such, but under the current code, if the system were proposed as new, could not be allowed due to requirement of minimum w i dth of lots for each s l i p . Lot 14 functions as an out I of . Jabbour felt they should be careful not to set. a precedent, and noted the need to treat people equitably. R]
