D <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> To: City Council <br /> From: Mike Gaffron <br /> Date: 7/30/14 <br /> Subject: Zoning History - Browns Bay/Tanager Lake Marina Area <br /> Attachments: <br /> A - Staff Memo - April 10, 1980 <br /> B - February 1990 Citywide Zoning History Study and Maps <br /> C - Memo from File #185 <br /> D - 1980 Rezoning Agreement <br /> E - 1983 Lot Combination, Riparian Rights and Open Space Agreement <br /> F - 1989 Resolution and Approved Site Plan. <br /> Council had asked for a detailed review of the zoning history of the properties comprising and <br /> surrounding the marinas on Shoreline Drive at Browns Bay and Tanager Lake. The request <br /> stems from the current part-commercial/part-residential use and split zoning of the properties at <br /> 1440 and 1442 Shoreline. The first zoning in Orono was adopted in 1950. <br /> 1950 Township Ordinance. On July 10, 1950 the Orono township board created a number of <br /> zoning districts, one of which was the "Brackett's Point District", a residential district in <br /> Sections 10 and 11 that included a small commercial sub-district north of the Tanager Lake <br /> bridge. The legal description of the commercial subdistrict, attached to the 1980 staff memo <br /> (Exhibit A) included all property from the north line of 1442 Shoreline, south to the Tanager <br /> Lake Bridge, on both sides of CR15. The property addressed 1440 and all properties to the north <br /> were zoned residential. <br /> 1967 Zoning Ordinance. The 1967 zoning code established the R-1B residential district (1-1/2- <br /> acre minimum) and the B-2 lakeshore commercial district in this area, with legal descriptions <br /> defining the properties from the Tanager Lake Bridge to the north line of 1444 Shoreline as B-2. <br /> The property at 1442 Shoreline was rezoned to R-1B at this time, as were the properties to the <br /> north of it. The parcels at 1440 and 1442 contained residence structures, so the residential <br /> zoning followed that existing use pattern. The property at 1442 also contained a small <br /> commercial building known as Mac's Pizza, which functionally made 1442 a multi-use site. <br /> 1975 Zoning Ordinance. The 1975 city-wide rezoning rezoned the R-1 B areas to LR-1A, 2-acre <br /> lakeshore residential while the B-2 area did not change. 1440 and 1442 remained residentially <br /> zoned. 1444 and the properties south to the bridge remained commercially zoned. <br /> 1976. In 1976 the City approved an addition to the house at 1442 for marina owner Jim Rivers <br /> (owner/operator of Windward Marina at 1444) subject to removal of the Mac's Pizza building, <br /> and indicated the only allowed future commercial use of 1442 would be for automobile parking. <br /> See File #185 memo. <br /> Page 1of 2 <br />
