MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — ,NOVEMBER 25, 1991 <br />OPTIONS FOR MARINA LICENSE REVIEW — CONT. el <br />Butler noted that Jabbour is suggesting that marina licenses be <br />limited to land use solely. <br />Mayor Peterson asked if this review would be done annually. <br />Jabbour felt it should be done once and those violating <br />conditions of approval should be taken to court. <br />Callahan noted he had no objection to the theory. He felt they <br />should start by sending a letter to each marina operator who <br />failed to submit a 1991 application, and telling them they cannot <br />open for business the following year until licenses have been <br />brought up to date. He felt that if a marina is in violation of <br />the code, the operation should cease for a pre— determined time <br />period. <br />Jabbour reiterated that the reason they had suggested a credit <br />was because licenses had not been issued as required. He noted <br />that only 1 marina did not pay the 1991 fee, and they should be <br />required to do so. <br />Gaffron reviewed that 2 -3 years ago, Council was approached by <br />operators to waive the slip fee as the lake was down and business <br />was not doing so well. He noted that one year the gas station <br />was allowed not to apply for a license and did not open that <br />year, but Council stated they would not lose their right to <br />reopen. He noted the 1991 application and fee has not been <br />received from Windward Marine, Lakeside sent in the application <br />but asked that the previous year's fee be applied to 1991 <br />license, and Gayles sent the base fee but no slip fee. All other <br />marinas have paid the 1991 fee. He noted that making all marinas <br />to pay up to date may not be in keeping with past Council's <br />decisions. <br />Callahan noted that if that were true, the slip fee was waived <br />for only one year. He felt they should pay up or cease business. <br />Butler noted that they should forget the past and deal with <br />the present. She felt that they should address land use issues, <br />and parking should not be tied to number of slips. She noted the <br />City needs to look at individual issues. She felt this was a new <br />year with a new Council and they shouldn't go back for past due <br />fees. <br />Gaffron requested confirmation that the Council now does not want <br />to allow credits from past years, and everyone who wants to open <br />in 1992 must make application for a license and pay past due <br />fees. <br />10 <br />
