MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,February 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr. Brown said it was five-six feet. <br /> Johnson asked if the City Council is being asked to approve an ordinance,or in the same stroke is this <br /> also approving the docks for that stretch. <br /> Barnhart said he is looking for direction for changes in the ordinance and then will bring it back. The <br /> Council could direct the City Attorney to draft a template License Agreement so the Council reviews it,is <br /> comfortable with it,and adopts it.Then the property owners can be invited to make license applications. <br /> Printup moved, Seals seconded,to accept what the City Council has with the changes and then move <br /> forward at the same time to have Attorney Mattick start putting together a License Agreement to couple <br /> with that for review again as a final package. <br /> Johnson suggested adding a provision that it be the property owner's primary residence. He asked if it's a <br /> vacation rental,if that property can be used by someone other than the property owner.There are four <br /> properties--two with docks,two without--and the City is giving two people that don't have the privilege <br /> now, so wouldn't it make sense that it is their primary residence in order to have the privilege. <br /> Walsh stated if the property owner's primary residence is Florida, he would say no.As long as they own <br /> the property and they can show they own the boat,they have the right to put it out there. He would keep it <br /> with the homeowner,whether it's their primary residence or not. <br /> Johnson asked if the homeowner would be allowed to create a rental,purchase a boat in their name, and <br /> rent it out with the privilege of the boat as part of their rental. <br /> Crosby said if it is not in the homeowner's name,the answer would be no. <br /> Printup, Seals, and Walsh said it has to be the same owner for the boat and home. <br /> Crosby said the City would be getting into situations of VBRO, like renting out a vacation home for a <br /> longer period of time. <br /> Walsh said if they want to rent out their house and have somebody use their boat because it's at their <br /> dock,that is their issue.The Council is giving the homeowner the right but it's got to be his boat at the <br /> dock. <br /> Crosby said the craft has to be licensed to the homeowner. <br /> Walsh said it would be clear that the City would not let somebody rent and have their own boat. <br /> Crosby stated he thought that language would cut out a lot of that situation. <br /> Walsh said the City does not have a lot of that to begin with. <br /> Johnson agreed but said it could be created. <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br />
