MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 23, 2018 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />5. APPROVAL OF RENTAL LICENSES — Continued <br />Johnson stated in his opinion there is overuse of the site and adding this extra rental property will only <br />intensify the use. Johnson noted there already is a parking problem on the site and that he hopes the City <br />enforces what is required for this property, especially as it relates to parking. <br />Walsh stated the City has never had a true delineated parking plan for this site and that it should be <br />delineated out as it relates to the rental and overflow. <br />Rief stated he is not sure the ordinance requires that and that he would recommend those two properties <br />be tabled until that review can be completed. Rief stated the City's license process does not require Staff <br />to checking the parking. <br />Seals stated to her recollection the rental ordinance contained a parking provision. <br />Rief stated as of two days ago the City has not issued a Certificate of Occupancy for 1440. <br />Crosby stated it is being used commercially and the parking needs to be resolved once and for all. <br />Walsh stated he would like to table those two properties until a thorough review can be done. <br />Seals asked how many boats Your Boat Club has. <br />Johnson stated the conditional use permit allows 20 boat stalls for their use. <br />Seals stated if you look at the map, there does not appear to be enough parking on the marina site. <br />Walsh stated Staff is unable to answer some of those questions tonight and that it would be best if the <br />City Council tabled those two properties. <br />Seals stated she would like a list of the requirements included in the future so the Council knows what <br />they are looking at for each property. <br />Crosby asked why they were not fined for failing to obtain the necessary permits. <br />Rief stated it is within the building official's discretion. <br />Johnson commented he wants to make sure everyone is treated equally, and that he has sat through a City <br />Council meeting where someone came in to get a deck permit and the City told him it would be over two <br />weeks to get the permit. Johnson stated that property owner then went ahead and did it over the weekend <br />and the City gave him a double fine. As it relates to the 1440 property, they were able to get their permit <br />approved in a couple of days and were not assessed a double permit fee. Johnson stated the Council has <br />to be mindful that one thing affects the rest of the folks. <br />Crosby stated the City needs to be consistent. <br />Seals recommended the City Council review the policy at a future work session. <br />Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the rental licenses listed in the April 23, 2018, Staff <br />report, with the tabling of 1440 and 1442 Shoreline Drive. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />
