MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 23, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. 15. LA18-000033 (18-4000) JEFF MARTINEAU, 1335 ARBOR STREET, VARIANCE, RESOLUTION NO. 6864 — Continued Martineau stated what could potentially happen is that someone might end up parking over at the Art Center. Martineau stated he will try to ensure that the laws regarding parking on the streets are abided by and that he is not looking for any special parking permits. Martineau noted if all construction parking is prohibited on the street, that will create a problem, and that he is willing to work with Staff, the police department, the fire department, and the school buses. Martineau indicated there might be one or two days where materials will be delivered to the site but most days there will be just the subcontractors and those vehicles can be accommodated on site. Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6864, a Resolution Approving a Variance from Municipal Zoning Code Sections 78-420-78-305, for the property located at 1335 Arbor Street, File No. LA18-000033 (18-4000). Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 23. RENTAL LICENSE 1440-1442 SHORELINE DRIVE Barnhart stated at the last meeting the City Council tabled the review of the licenses for 1440 and 1442 Shoreline Drive due to some questions regarding parking between the residential structures and the adjacent marina -based businesses, including Your Boat Club. Barnhart indicated he has pulled some information from the initial approval of the marina, including the site plan from 1989 that was approved. At the time of the marina approval, the City Council asked the property owner to identify parking. The owner identified 26 parking on the gravel or rock surface located at 1440 and 1442 Shoreline. A conditional use permit was then put in place for that parking. In 2011, Your Boat Club asked for a conditional use permit to operate its business at the site, which was approved, utilizing that parking plan generated in 1989 as the basis. Currently there are two conditional use permits operating on this property, one for the marina sales and one for Your Boat Club. Through the years the two residential structures have remained in place and are currently being renovated. The property owner at this time is asking for a rental license to rent those two spaces out. From Staff's perspective, parking is a requirement of a rental license and two parking spaces per rental dwelling must be provided. Barnhart noted this requirement applies to all rentals throughout the city. These two parcels do provide 26 parking spaces, which exceeds the parking requirement, with the parking spaces also being able to be used by Your Boat Club and the marina. Barnhart indicated Staff did perform an analysis of the parking requirements based on the number of slips and the size of the space, which was initially approved in 1989 and then again in 2011. That analysis has not been redone since there was no request to change the parking on either of the two residential lots. From Staff's perspective, the two rental properties do meet the parking requirements and therefore Staff is recommending approval. Seals asked if the 1989 conditional use permit has 26 parking spots. Barnhart stated it shows parking for 26 cars on the two subject parcels and consists of rock/gravel and is not striped. Page 7 of 16
