ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 16, 1999 <br /> IIIGaffron said that this code would be superseded by the Shoreland Ordinance in the areas that are <br /> less than 1,000 feet from the lake. <br /> Hawn asked if this code should be reviewed based on the Shoreland Ordinance. <br /> Gaffron said this matter could be delayed for further review before the moratorium expires. <br /> Mabusth said it would be beneficial to look at Section 10.56 of the Shoreland Ordinance to see if there <br /> are some sections in the zoning code that are not needed. <br /> Gaffron said for purposes of that review, he would take some sample real properties within the district <br /> and show how Section 10.56 would apply and what then becomes possible under those standards. <br /> McMillan moved,White seconded a motion to table application#2458 City of Orono,Zoning <br /> Code Amendment, LR-1C-1, One Family Lakeshore Residential Subdistrict, Section 10.26, <br /> Subd. 3. to Eliminate the Allowance of a 50% Increase in Dwelling Unit Density from 2 to 3 <br /> units per acre. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> 2)#2459 CITY OF ORONO,ZONING CODE AMENDMENT, TELECOMMUNICATIONS <br /> ORDINANCE, 6:56 p.m. - 7:10 p.m. <br /> Gaffron presented the staff report. He said there is a need to clarify and correct certain provisions of <br /> Ord. #161, 2nd Series which was adopted in May 1997. Gaffron reviewed the impact of a list of <br /> • changes that were made to the ordinance. He said the impact of items 9 and 10 is that antenna <br /> structures are no longer allowed as a conditional use in the B-1 District and antennas are no longer <br /> allowed as an accessory use in B-1. These two items act to make all existing antennas in the B-1, B- <br /> 3, B-4, B-6 and Industrial district antennas non-conforming and make B-1 and B-3 antenna structures <br /> non-conforming. This is because no new accessory antenna provisions were adopted for B-1. He said <br /> that Section 3 of the proposed ordinance will take care of this problem by allowing accessory <br /> antennas and amateur short-wave antennas/towers in these"B"districts under the same conditions <br /> they are allowed in the Residential districts. <br /> Gaffron said the impact of item 11 is that Personal Wireless Service Antennas and Towers are <br /> allowed as a highly-regulated use in the B-1 and B-3 districts and also in the B-4, B-6 and Industrial <br /> districts if it is an accessory use in B-1, only when placed on a municipal structure, but there are no <br /> municipal structures in the B-1, B-3, B-4 or Industrial districts. He said Council's intent was to allow <br /> Personal Wireless Service antennas on the two City water towers. The Navarre water tower is in the <br /> LR-1 C district. The only municipal structure in B-6 is the well house. Since the City does not want a <br /> PWS antenna or tower on the well house, then this item should be dropped. Section 1 of the proposed <br /> ordinance deletes the portion of the ordinance that allowed PWS antennas and towers in the B <br /> districts. It also re-enacts the portion that adds qualifying language to the Public Services conditional <br /> use. Section 2 deletes the"Antenna Structure"conditional use from B-1 in the same way it was <br /> deleted in all other districts. <br /> Gaffron said the impact of item 14 is that existing Industrial antenna structures became non- <br /> conforming. He said that was not the intent and it is resolved by Section 3 of the proposed ordinance. <br /> Gaffron said staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance which adds the"Accessory <br /> Antennas"and "Amateur Short Wave Radio Antennas and Towers" provisions into the B-1 list of <br /> accessory uses, rescinds Section 8 of Ordinance no. 161 2nd Series and correctly re-adopts the first <br /> • <br /> Page 3 <br />
