MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 12,2019 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Seals stated there was clearly a lot done out there and that she did not receive any positive phone calls <br /> about it. Seals stated it is a little concerning to expand the scope when what is currently going on has not <br /> been rectified. <br /> Crosby commented it would have been nice to see the owner this evening. <br /> Walsh stated a family compound and an event center are two different things. <br /> Gates stated it is not intended to be an event center and it is not intended to be an event island. Those <br /> would be considered an accessory use on an occasional basis. Gates stated he can ask the owner to <br /> appear, but most big companies have people to handle things like this. <br /> Gates indicated he personally has been proactive with it once he learned about it and that he has some <br /> experience with noise issues, such as being involved in consideration of some racetracks. Also know the <br /> owners of Fletcher's and have worked with them to develop some standards for noise. <br /> Gates stated he jumped in Wednesday night and did a noise propagation sound map. The noise levels <br /> were actually monitored along the shoreline in the afternoon as well as on the island. Communications <br /> were also had with the Police Chief and he was sent some snapshots of what the sound level was. Gates <br /> stated to the extent they could, they did attempt to address the situation. <br /> Walsh noted in the beginning of the application this was talked about as being a family compound and <br /> that the event stuff did not come out until later. Walsh indicated he would be in favor of tabling it tonight <br /> until all the issues have been sorted through and resolved since changing the MUSA is a touchy thing. <br /> Gates stated the extension of the sewer does not really relate to the events going on at the island and that <br /> it is the City's call on which way they would like to go. The MUSA expansion will enhance the island no <br /> matter what happens on the island. <br /> Crosby stated he has some concerns about the events and that it is not what the Council thought it was <br /> going to be. <br /> Walsh stated further discussion on expanding the MUSA is also warranted to determine its impact on the <br /> City's overall density. <br /> Johnson and Seals concurred with tabling the application. <br /> Walsh moved, Crosby seconded, to table Application No. LA19-000047,Scott Gates on behalf of <br /> Kruckeberg Real Estates, 4400 Deering Island, Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
