MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 12, 1974 Page 2 Commissioner Gasch expressed concern that Orono North Star Marina should not agree to allow a new structure for the Storage Building storage of boats before we know that the LMCD dock & Seawall ordinance will be upheld in court. Guthrie moved, KulJberg seconded that conceptual approval be granted for the variance and condit ional use, contingent on: (1) A landscaping plan, (2) An architecual plan, (3) A storm - water runoff plan, and (4) The assumption that the L14CD dock ordinance regulating the lengths of docks will be upheld in the courts. The motion was withdrawn. The Planning Commission directed commissioners Gasch and Kullberg to work with the staff in form- ulating conditions that should be part of a con- ceptual approval for the North Star request.
