MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 25, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. 15. YOUR BOAT CLUB —1444 SHORELINE DRIVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — VARIANCE REVIEW — Continued Johnson stated in the triangular section, there was some wood posts with rope going across that entire triangle. The site plan includes language about what can be done in that area. Johnson noted he cannot read it on his copy but that it is something to the effect about temporary storage only. Barnhart stated as per agreement with City, this area is to be used for temp storage, rough surface. Johnson stated that area has been cleaned out so it can be used as a parking spot. The agreement with the City is that it would be used for temporary storage. Johnson noted both of the residential properties have lakeside decks on them, which is not part of the plan, and that maybe a permit along the way was approved allowing them. Johnson noted the deck on the northern most property goes within inches of his property line and would certainly be within the 75 -foot setback. Walsh stated a variance would have been required for those decks. Barnhart stated if variances were issued for those, they were issued to a separate property and not 1444 Shoreline Drive. Walsh commented everything looks spot on with what was done with the exception of the triangle area and the decks on the houses. Walsh suggested they put a walkway through the edges so people can walk through. Barnhart stated it appears in 2011, when Your Boat Club came in with confirmation of parking, that that triangle spot was included in their calculations. Johnson stated it was listed at that time as potential. Johnson stated what was happening at the time of the conditional use permit was the issue of whether the boat club required additional parking just because they are a boat club. The Council decided there was not going to be an additional requirement for parking, so the parking then became moot. Johnson stated it clearly says that area was potential parking and not approved parking in the triangle area. Walsh asked when something goes from potential to actual. Walsh commented he can see it both ways. Mattick stated it is poor wording and that to his understanding that was a spillover parking area. Mattick indicated he will take a look at that. Walsh stated he can see how it can be used if it is needed since it is listed as potential. Luke Kujawa stated when they were going through all this, it was a very long process, and that Mike Gaffron had indicated that the wedge area had been used for parking in the summertime and boat storage in the wintertime for as long as he can possibly remember and that they did not need to address it because there was adequate parking in the other lots. Kujawa stated that area has always been there and that they have used it in an effort to keep parking off the road. Page 19 of 21
