Gaffron stated the application would need to go back to the Planning Commission for their review since <br /> they would be removing language from the code and not replacing it with new language. Gaffron stated <br /> the Council is probably looking at a two-month process. <br /> Mattick pointed out a dual application process could perhaps be followed,with one application showing <br /> the language that would be deleted and the other application showing the language that is being clarified. <br /> Mattick noted the text amendment is designed to clarify the existing code. <br /> Rahn stated the$50 fee for the moving of a residential dock could also be eliminated. <br /> Curtis noted that fee is for a first time dock and that there is also a fee if you are going to move a <br /> permanent dock. <br /> Rahn commented he is speaking about seasonal docks. Rahn noted the City has a$50 one-time fee for <br /> seasonal docks that will be reinstalled in the same location annually without permits. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff typically does not enforce that as long as the property owner is meeting the LMCD <br /> standards. <br /> Rahn recommended that fee be removed from the fee schedule. <br /> Gaffron indicated Staff is okay with that removal. <br /> Mattick noted Council Member Bremer objected to the text amendment since it did not seem to have any <br /> allowance for a neighbor to park their boat at a neighboring property,which could be added. Mattick <br /> stated the new application would just show the regulation provisions that would be struck out. Mattick <br /> recommended the City Council direct Staff to prepare that application and then bring it back before the <br /> Planning Commission. <br /> Printup moved, Rahn seconded,Application #11-3503, City of Orono,Zoning Code Text <br /> Amendment,to direct Staff to prepare a separate application that removes the pertinent language <br /> relating to boat slips and to bring it before the Planning Commission for their review,and to direct <br /> Staff to make the clarifications discussed tonight relating to the current application. VOTE: <br /> Ayes 3,Nays 1, Franchot Opposed. <br /> Tom Egan, Big Island.asked whether there would be any public comment allowed on this item. <br /> Gaffron indicated there will be a notice in the paper regarding the application and that public comment <br /> will be allowed at the Planning Commission meeting. <br /> Egan asked what the intent of the motion was. <br /> Gaffron stated the motion directs Staff to start a zoning amendment process that eliminates the regulations <br /> regarding rental of boat slips on residential properties,which would go first to the Planning Commission <br /> and then to the City Council. Gaffron stated the application will probably be heard in April. <br /> Egan noted a number of things were stated tonight that were not accurate as it relates to the LMCD <br /> regulations. The LMCD regulations state if the property owner is receiving income from a boat rental, it <br /> is considered a commercial business. <br />
