MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 10, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 11 of 15 <br /> <br />there. He suggested the City take it and store it for a fee. If it is not picked up in two days, then the City <br />gets rid of it. <br /> <br />Mattick stated he is reluctant to codify every single thing one can do, but in the license application it is <br />your property and it is their dock. You can have items in there that will allow the City to remove it. <br /> <br />Walsh and Printup discussed that the City could do most of the codifying and stringent teeth in the <br />License Agreement, as that is where they would agree to the terms. <br /> <br />Printup said he does not want to seem like a bull and just taking stuff but wants it to be very clear so <br />people don't mess this up. The Council wants it to be successful. <br /> <br />Walsh agreed and said that is why the City Council is doing it. <br /> <br />Mattick stated the license is a privilege and if there are problems and constantly enforcement actions, the <br />City does not have to issue the license the next time. <br /> <br />Walsh added that there are enforcement provisions within the term of the license to begin with. <br /> <br />Mattick agreed and said the next year when the property owner applies again, the answer can be no. <br /> <br />Walsh reminded Mattick it is a ten-year deal, and that is why there are provisions in the document to <br />enforce and take away if the City needs to. <br /> <br />Printup indicated there’s a question about dock length which gets into the LMCD world. <br /> <br />Seals asked if that is something the City needs to be involved in. <br /> <br />Printup said it is something the City can be involved in because the City is the owner. If it is a drought <br />year or years and if you have to go out 150 feet to get into four-six feet of water, those are LMCD issues. <br />Does the City want to apply to make that happen or say, “Forget it, we're only going out 50 feet or <br />whatever the LMCD says.” The City would not apply for variances through the LMCD. <br /> <br />Walsh stated the property owner would have to go through a variance for the City on top of dealing with <br />the LMCD. <br /> <br />Printup stated that is what he meant: The City does not want to get involved in that. He used drought <br />years as an example of having to extend the dock out farther. The property owner would come to the City <br />to apply. He said the City does not want to get involved in that, that it is not going up in the drought <br />years. <br /> <br />Walsh stated the City has the option of not applying. <br /> <br />Printup stated he is suggesting that the City does not. <br /> <br />Walsh commented that the owners can always ask and the City Council can decide. <br /> <br />Crosby asked if the property owners had fairly good depth in the area.
