• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 21, 1997 <br />(#4 - 92195 Genmar Industries - Continued) <br />Craig Moen, 1387 Orono Lane, noted the cooperation in the past regarding lighting and <br />the elimination of spot lights. He is satisfied with the current lights. He also asked that <br />the signage not be lit at night. <br />Lindquist asked Gaffron to address the issues of dock size and lighting. Gaflron said dock <br />size is under the LMCD jurisdiction. The City requires lighting to be kept within the site, <br />shielded, and directed downward. <br />Wells informed the Commission that if the City made its position known to the LMCD, it <br />could make a difference. <br />McConnell reported that no changes are proposed for the lighting. The sign would only <br />have a downward light to show its location for safety purposes. She said there are no <br />plans to change the dock size or configuration and would notify the residents if any were <br />proposed. Moen noted the different circumstances involved with homes viewing the site <br />from the lake side and asked to be notified of any changes within the bay area. Gaffron <br />said he would notify the Orono Lane residents regarding any future meetings held by the <br />City on the subject but could not speak for the LMCD. <br />. Jabbour asked that the residents be made aware that there is the potential for changes by <br />the LMCD. Gaffron noted that the density level is regulated by the amount of shoreline, <br />and there is potential for more dockage on the site. However, he added that the parking is <br />not adequate to accommodate any more docking from the City standpoint. He noted that <br />the City did not exert any authority over the allowed expansion that occurred 10 years <br />ago. He opined that the site is being used to its capacity. <br />Kelley asked that the issue of tour boats and winter use be addressed. McConnell said the <br />only winter use would be for storage by employees and no tour boats are proposed. <br />Kelley asked that this be in writing as well as a statement regarding snowmobiles. <br />McConnell reported that the negotiations made with the operator are for use of Genmar <br />related boat products only. Gaffron suggested any approval include as a condition of the <br />approval the list of proposed and allowed uses and readdressing of the issue if changes <br />were made in use. McConnell said she would be in favor of that. <br />Smith asked that there be an even replacement of any trees lost on the property. <br />McConnell noted that some of the tree replacement will occur elsewhere on the site as <br />there were limited spaces where the trees will be removed. More trees will be placed by <br />the building for screening purposes. Smith asked that this be presented as part of the <br />landscaping plan. <br />12 <br />
