MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — NOVEMBER 12, 1991 <br />3350 NORTH SHORE DRIVE — ZONING VIOLATIONS — CONT. <br />Gaffron noted that in order to convert the B -2 zoned property <br />from residential use to commercial, a variance for lot area and <br />width standards would have to be approved, and a certificate of <br />occupancy for the use would have to be approved through a <br />commercial site plan process. He noted that in 1985 Dunn applied <br />for a commercial site plan review,- which was never completed. <br />The property was then sold to Mr. -Toberman and later reverted <br />back to Dunn. He noted that the previous application is no <br />longer open as it has lapsed over 5 years and the property was <br />sold in the interim. <br />Jabbour asked about dual use of the property. <br />Gaffron noted the code does not allow a mixed <br />commercial /residential use of the property. <br />Callahan felt that since the commercial use has not been approved <br />by Council, the commercial use should cease. <br />Dunn explained that this property and the one next door have <br />never in the past 11 years totally ceased a semi — commercial use. <br />He noted that recently the activity has picked up. He noted that <br />he-does live in the house and commutes back and forth to Florida. <br />He stated that he has tried to get direction from the Council as <br />to what they would like to see on the property. During the 1985 <br />application, Dunn noted that his attorney suggested that he drop <br />the application as it may be suggested to zone the property to <br />residential. <br />Callahan felt that until the process for commercial use has been <br />reviewed, that use should cease on the property. All Members <br />agreed. <br />Jabbour noted that the issue of a commercial site plan must be <br />resolved. He asked if approved, would the marina need to be <br />licensed individually. <br />Goetten noted that the Lake Use Committee would be reviewing a <br />comprehensive plan for all marinas in the future. <br />Callahan felt that the license issue need not be reviewed that <br />evening. <br />Jabbour felt that applicant should totally cease commercial use <br />of the property, and decide which use he wishes to proceed with <br />for the future. <br />Dunn reminded the Council that in 11 years they have not taken <br />position on these parcels. He wanted to know what their long- <br />term goal was for the property. <br />Jabbour reiterated that B -2 zoned property cannot be used in <br />several manners all at the same time. <br />14 <br />ri <br />
