• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 21, 1995 <br />( #16 - #2058 Ron Rantz/Autografs - Continued) <br />Smith asked if there would be any materials needing discarding on the premises. The <br />applicant said he would need to look into that matter with 3M. <br />If a disposal area was needed, Berg asked where this would occur. Mr. Waters said it <br />would be contained within the building. <br />The lower level plan for the property is designed as a loading and receiving area, which <br />would be covered and heated. Deliveries by UPS -sized trucks would be made about <br />weekly with pick ups daily. The film has to be stored in a controlled environment and then <br />acclimated to the room. The loading area would be part of the building itself. Rantz said <br />this loading area as well as the shipping areas were excluded from the net floor area <br />calculations. Mabusth said the loading berth would not need to be included in the <br />calculations but the shipping area should be. <br />Mabusth said in determining parking spaces, if shipping area is included in net floor area, <br />67 parking stalls would be required. It is presently shown as 64, with 3 more needed. <br />There would be no problem with locating those stalls on site. <br />is Schroeder asked how many employees would work in the building. The 25 -30 employees <br />would be involved in administration and production with 10 -15 graphic designers, who <br />would be on a part-time basis. Rantz said 10 -15 employees would be on the premises at <br />one time. <br />Rantz said the building is large for the proposed business to be conducted, but large tables <br />are needed, 20 -25' long to lay out the graphics. The shipping area will require the space <br />for vehicles to pull in for installation of graphics being provided for public reviewal. These <br />vehicles would be used as models. <br />Schroeder asked if there would be a car wash on the premises. Rantz said the cars would <br />be sent out to be washed, even in the winter. Only slight clean up will be conducted in the <br />building. Rantz said the cars used as models would not be done on a daily basis. They are <br />for experimental use only to see if the graphic will work on a vehicle. Testing the graphics <br />on cars is needed to determine the perimeters. <br />Berg asked if the process was odorless and requires any ventilation. The applicant said <br />the process is completely self - contained in a sealed controlled humidity. The air is <br />recirculated within the building. 3M is said to have an environmental room similar to the <br />one proposed. <br />Mabusth asked the Planning Commission if this use was an appropriate use. No variances <br />would be required, and the lots would be legally combined. <br />24 <br />
