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. VOTE: Ayes 4, <br />Nays 0. <br />17.
