MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, December 11, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />14. APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY SITE PLAN FOR RIVER VALLEY SPORTS USE OF <br />TENT FOR SALES DISPLAY — Continued <br />Printup stated the latest the store is open is 6 p.m. and Staff's condition under Item C says 10 p.m., which <br />should be changed. <br />Barnhart indicated that was taken from the City Code. <br />Printup indicated he does not have a problem with starting with a smaller time frame and that he does not <br />like the idea of a two or three-month temporary thing. Printup stated he would not be comfortable with a <br />month and that the City Council can always extend it next year if it goes okay. Printup indicated he <br />would be okay with a week. <br />Dankey stated in her view a week or two would be a special event. <br />Crosby stated the business is looking for two months and that a week or two would accommodate the <br />business better and allow them to take advantage of the Super Bowl. <br />Sweetso stated the whole goal was to cover the three boat shows over three weeks, with the Super Bowl <br />the following week. Sweetso stated having it for one week would not make a lot of financial sense and <br />that he is not sure if two weeks would either. Sweetso stated the goal was to cover the whole boat show <br />season. <br />Walsh commented he understands the fact that they would like the longer period but that people would <br />also like to change two -acre zoning to one -acre zoning so they can make more money. <br />Printup moved to approve the request by River Valley Sports for use of a tent for a sales display, <br />subject to the conditions outlined in Staff s Report, with Item C being revised to require a 6 p.m. <br />ending time each day, elimination of Item F, and allowing the tent for seven days somewhere <br />between January 19 and March 19th. <br />Mattick asked whether the days should be consecutive. <br />Printup stated he would be okay with it being broken up. <br />Dankey noted since River Valley will be moving the boats there, they likely would not want it broken up. <br />Dankey moved, Crosby seconded, to amend the motion to allow the tent for up to 14 days, with a <br />6 p.m. ending time. <br />Rief noted two weeks from January 19 would get them through the Super Bowl. <br />Printup stated he is uncomfortable with 14 days and that he is really concerned with calling something <br />temporary when it goes longer than a week. <br />Walsh seconded Printup's motion. <br />Crosby noted Lunds has had a tent for fireworks that is up for weeks. <br />Page 13 of 15 <br />
