CITY OF ORONO <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, May 15,2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Thiesse asked why the applicants only want it 16 inches from the ground. <br />Curtis indicated the applicants would like a low profile sign and that they do not need the sign to identify the site. <br />Jim Kirkland, North Shore Marina, stated they are just looking to have a more updated sign. <br />Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. <br />Joe Malkusky, 1950 Shoreline Drive, asked if there is a picture of the sign available. <br />Curtis displayed a color rendition of the proposed sign. <br />Malkusky noted he lives across the street and that his concern is whether there will be any lighting on the sign. <br />Kirkland stated they will back light the letters and numbers rather than projecting the light up on it. Kirkland <br />indicated the lighting should be pretty subtle and soft. <br />Malkusky stated those are his only concerns. Malkusky noted a number of accidents occur on <br />County Road 15 and that he does not want the sign to be distracting to drivers. <br />Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. <br />Schwingler commented the request is pretty straight forward. <br />Leskinen moved, Schoenzeit seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 17-3934, Jim Kirkland <br />on behalf of North Shore Marina, 1955 Shoreline Drive, granting of variances, per Staff <br />recommendations. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />
