E <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />WORK SESSION HELD ON DECEMBER 15, 1997 <br />Schroeder felt that was not possible as the Commission is not always aware of what will <br />be controversial. Lindquist suggested continuing in the same manner as currently exists. <br />Schroeder said with respect to hardships, he believes remuneration is important. He <br />noted the difficulty for applicants to state the hardship. Gaffron agreed that the applicant <br />does not always know what is the hardship. <br />( #4) SIC INVENTORY <br />Bressler said the business inventory was a study of the businesses in Orono based on <br />standard business codes and are shown by zoning district. The information is based on <br />1996 information. <br />Lindquist questioned whether the inventory includes all businesses. Van Zomeren said <br />she did not know. Bressler said agricultural uses are not listed and some of the <br />businesses have gone out of business. <br />Smith noted the number of people working from home. <br />Gaffron asked what source was used in gathering the information. Bressler said he used a <br />state listing for businesses registered with the state found in the library. This did present <br />a problem as the businesses are listed by zip codes and Orono does not have its own zip <br />code. <br />Van Zomeren said the list shows the creativity of the residents and the vast number of <br />• businesses in the City. <br />18 <br />
