MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, February 19, 2019 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />Hamilton indicated he is looking at a 14-foot boat with a small 20 horsepower motor. On the other side <br />off of Brown Road there is a dock and he has seen people canoe or kayak down it and only one motorized <br />boat on that side. <br /> <br />Libby stated he was not aware that they can have motorized boats in that area. <br /> <br />Hamilton stated the DNR does allow motorized traffic and that they need to obtain a conditional use <br />permit for the dock. <br /> <br />Libby asked whether the LMCD has any governance over this dock. <br /> <br />Curtis stated they do not. <br /> <br />Johnson stated he believe the LMCD’s jurisdiction ends at the edge. The water is not very deep by the <br />cattails so it was determined they would need to extend the dock further out. <br /> <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:38p.m. <br /> <br />There were no public comments. <br /> <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:38 p.m. <br /> <br />Thiesse asked if Orono has any ordinance regulating the size of the platform at the end of the dock. <br /> <br />Curtis stated Orono does not regulate structures in the water and that possibly the DNR would have <br />jurisdiction over that. The LMCD, the Watershed District, and the DNR have seen and weighed in on this <br />request. <br /> <br />Thiess stated his biggest concern is the size of the platform. <br /> <br />Olson moved, Landgraver seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. LA19-000003, <br />Fine Line Lakeshore Service, 1795 Fox Street, granting of a conditional use permit. VOTE: Ayes <br />5, Nays 0. <br />
