I <br />CITYof ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 6037 <br />3. The portion of the residential property west of Shoreline Drive is zoned LR -1A <br />Lakeshore Residential District comprising approximately 0.37 acres in area, of which <br />approximately 50' x 110' or 0.13 acre has been historically used for marina parking. <br />4. On March 21, 2011 the Orono Planning Commission reviewed the application as <br />proposed and voted 4-1 to recommend denial of the application based on the lack of <br />sufficient information to guarantee the number of parking stalls available to serve the <br />marina and boat club uses, but to change that recommendation to one of approval if <br />the applicant submits further evidence to staff to demonstrate that the combined use <br />of the marina and boat club will comply with the parking regulations of Section 78- <br />668 and staff finds that the objective requirements of that section are met and <br />adequate parking is available at the site. <br />5. The City Council makes the following findings of fact regarding this application: <br />a. Resolution No. 2674 adopted by the City Council on August 14, 1989 <br />documented the availability of 73 total parking stalls on the commercial and <br />residential properties falling 4 stalls short of the 77 stalls determined to be <br />required by code for the marina use at that time under the approved site plan, <br />and a 4 -stall variance was granted. <br />b. The zoning code does not currently establish an incremental parking <br />requirement for the boat club conditional use. <br />C. Council finds that operation of a boat club use does not require additional <br />parking over and above the level required for marina use if the boat club is <br />operated in an appropriate manner. <br />d. Changes in the marina operation at this site since 1989 have resulted in fewer <br />boat slips on the water, with the current number of .required parking stalls <br />being calculated as follows: <br />Total slips on water: 97 <br />Total slips devoted to retail sales/display/service operation: 6 <br />Net available rental slips: 91 slips x 0.6 stalls required per slip — 54.6 stalls <br />Additional stalls required for sales/service operation: S stalls <br />Additional stalls required for area of building > 1000 s.£: 3 stalls <br />Additional stalls required for employee parking: 4 stalls (nominal) <br />Total stalls required per current code = 54.6+8.0+3.0+4.0 = 69.6 = 70 stalls <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />
