MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 11, 2019 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 8 of 16 <br /> <br />Crosby stated he is saying they should get rid of the fifth section and the half se ction. <br /> <br />Walsh stated what he has heard is that if the line is in the middle as depicted on the drawing, that one does <br />not count, and he can have three full sections past the cattails. <br /> <br />Johnson stated they will have to rely on the applicant to construct it to the right length. Originally a <br />bunch of cattails were ripped out and a dock put in, and if they wanted to extend the dock, all they would <br />have to do is remove cattails. <br /> <br />Walsh pointed out removing the cattails would actually make it worse for them. <br /> <br />Crosby suggested they leave it at four complete sections from the cattails. <br /> <br />Mattick stated his understanding is that dock sections come in different lengths and that the City Council <br />may actually want to clarify the length. <br /> <br />Crosby recommended the dock be basically 32 feet from the cattails. <br /> <br />Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, Application No. LA19-000003, Fine Line Docks on behalf of <br />Thomas and Kelsey Hamilton, 1795 Fox Street, to approve a conditional use permit for a dock not <br />to exceed 32 feet from the edge of the cattails. <br />Printup stated he would like clarification on where the edge of the cattails is. <br /> <br />Mattick stated in essence the applicants are asking for a 190-foot dock and that the Council has shrunk it <br />by approximately eight feet. Mattick stated he is assuming they start the dock at the shoreline and that it <br />might be better to clarify the length of the dock. <br /> <br />Johnson stated he is most comfortable keeping it as an extension out from the cattails because the <br />homeowner might decide , when laying out the dock, that he wants to have an extra section on the land for <br />better egress. If the dock goes out 32 feet from the cattails, that will achieve what he would like to see for <br />the length of the dock and that the homeowner c an always come back and ask for it to be extended. <br /> <br />Mattick asked whether the motion includes a requirement for reflectors to be installed . <br /> <br />Johnson amended his motion to include the installation of reflectors. Crosby seconded. <br />Printup noted this is a CUP and that it runs with the property. In the future, if there is motorized <br />watercraft or jet skis, there is nothing the City can do. <br /> <br />Seals stated there is nothing the City can do to prevent jet skis in the area. <br /> <br />Printup noted there are other docks along the creek, which makes him somewhat supportive of it. <br /> <br />Hamilton indicated there are at least three other docks. <br /> <br />Johnson stated the other docks come out to the edge of the cattails and then go perpendicular to the <br />cattails.
