CITY of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 6037 <br />e. The number of available parking stalls is as follows: <br />Tanager Lakeside of CR15: 24 paved, marked stalls at 1444 Shoreline <br />26 unmarked gravel stalls at 1440-42 Shoreline <br />Browns Bay side of CR 15: 26 unmarked stalls in rectangular gravel parking lot <br />5 potential parking stalls in triangular gravel area <br />Total Available Stalls in areas previously approved for parking: 76 stalls <br />Additional potential stalls not previously approved for parking: 5 stalls <br />f. The City Council finds that the number of available parking stalls exceeds the <br />required number of stalls for the proposed marina and boat club operation. <br />g. Applicant's analysis of parking needs for the boat club use suggests that the nature <br />of the boat club business is self-limiting, to the extent that proper site management <br />resulting in club customers having no difficulties parking at the site is critical to <br />maintaining the customer base. The applicant has acknowledged that there is no <br />additional parking available on nearby roadways and has indicated that off-site <br />parking is not part of his intended business plan but may be used on occasion in a <br />worst-case scenario. The Council finds that formally establishing an off-site <br />parking requirement to serve the boat club use is neither desirable nor warranted. <br />h. The location of this marina on both sides of Shoreline Drive creates a situation in <br />which it is necessary to make all reasonable attempts to limit the need for pedestrian <br />crossing of the public road. <br />i. The 1989 approval for use of parking stalls located on the adjacent residential <br />property was predicated on the common ownership of those residential parcels with <br />the marina property. The recent changes in ownership which have resulted in the <br />residential property being in separate ownership from the commercial property <br />require establishment of a legal relationship to ensure the continued viability of this <br />parking arrangement. <br />The Council finds that it would be appropriate to establish a limit at this time to the <br />number of slips allowed to be devoted to boat club use, because of the lack of data <br />and unpredictability of the parking needs for the boat club use. The property owner <br />could apply for an amendment of the CUP in the fixture to request additional boat <br />club usage, which would be reviewed on its merits at that time. <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
