MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 25, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. 14. LA18-55 PAUL VOGSTROM OB/O WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE, SKETCH PLAN — Continued Eric Vogstrom stated the most important thing is to know where the sightline is. Vogstrom asked whether it is a practical difficulty that the lot curves. Walsh stated in his view there is some practical difficulty if the land curves but that they will need to physically see what is out there. Curtis asked if the City Council would like to see another sketch plan rather than a preliminary plat. Walsh stated it should be another sketch plan rather than spending money on a preliminary plat at this stage. (Recess taken from 8:31 p.m. to 8:38 p.m.) 15. YOUR BOAT CLUB —1444 SHORELINE DRIVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — VARIANCE REVIEW Barnhart noted at the last meeting in May the Council directed Staff to review the conditions that are still in effect or imposed on the Your Boat Club and report back those findings. The City Attorney has reviewed the four resolutions. The resolutions approved a variance to the site plan, a variance in 1989, a conditional use permit in 2011, and a site plan in 2014. The resolutions also outlined a number of conditions and a parking agreement. On June 20, Staff inspected the property based on those items. Those findings have been summarized for the City Council. At this point Staff is looking for direction from the City Council. Staff's recommendation is to send a letter to the property owner regarding a couple of areas that need attention. Barnhart stated in general the site is consistent with the 1989 plan. Notable deviations include the following: - Of the 27 trees shown on the 1989 plan, eight were not observed. - The 5 -foot buffer between the owners' residential and commercial properties was not observed east of the houses. There is no low evergreen screen present as noted by the landscaping plan. - Four parking stalls are being used for boat display. Based on Resolution 6037, 81 stalls were observed, four for residential, and four are used for display. 73 stalls are provided, 70 were required. - Rock collection area four needs to be cleaned out. - There was no bituminous curbing observed at the driveways. Staff will send a letter to the property owner calling attention to the following: - The removal of the boats from the street side display area. - Planting of low evergreens in this area - Repair of the fence between the commercial and residential area - Addition of evergreen buffer between the commercial and residential area - Clean rock collection area number four.
