MFMORANDUM <br />To: <br />From: <br />Dale: <br />Subject: <br />Ron Moorsc, City Administrator <br />Mike Gaffron. Planning Director <br />January 9, 2004 <br />Ilackground Regarding Vehicle Storage Ordinance <br />During summer and fall 7003 staff and Planning Commission w orked on an update and revision to the <br />vehicle storage ordinances. This was in large part due to the obvious long-standing need for an <br />ordinance that w'ould address contemporary issues as Orono has changed and de\ eloped from the <br />primarily ‘lakcshore cabins and farms' character of the 1960s to a more ‘urban lakeshore and large-lot <br />suburban' mode. This was a natural next step following the Boat .Storage ordinance of 2001. While it <br />would be incorrect to suggest that the vehicle storage ordinance was solely a direct response to the <br />'limm/llagcn situation, that situation did provide an immediate focus point for discussions. However, <br />vehicle storage has been an ongoing issue for certain properties throughout Orono for many years, and <br />the Hagen/Timm situation is not by any means the first or only instance of large vehicle activity that has <br />cau.sed or has the potential to cause problems in a neighborhood. <br />Other existing current examples include: <br />- Stubbs Bay Movers activity (non-confonmng use on Old Cr>'Stal Bay Road) <br />• Vein llubbell Hxcavating on Watertown Road - contractor who stores his trucks and <br />sometimes ilumps excess loads, on this residential properly; few if any past <br />complaints, but new neighbors are going to be building expensive homes in the woods <br />just east of his operation... <br />- Kim Hdwards - landscaping business on Woodliavcn Drive <br />- Sporadic truck storage at llannings on Co. Rd. 6 <br />- I^w n guy across from Sanse\ ere <br />- Truck storage (rental space) at a detached garage on Russell Avenue <br />- Tree Care guy east of 11 wy 1 2 just north of l.ucc Line <br />- (’buck Henke in Navarre <br />- Dick I.edstrom - all kinds of vehicles and stuff stored at property abutting north end of <br />Lurton Park property - Vacuum trucks, railroad salvage businc.ss... <br />- Rossing sons tree/firewood business on Cygnet Place <br />- I rucker at 4575 Way/aia Boulevard (south ol RK, parks semi trailcr/tractor on site) <br />- and we can probably find a lew more if we think hard enough... <br />u
