The City of Orono has leased the west Vi of the property fiom <br />the Orono School District nod further leased the property to OBA. It <br />was the opinion of the City Attorney that as long as the City was leasing <br />the property from the School for a period greater than ten years that the <br />baseball fields would be considered a permitted City park use. The Code <br />permits municipal uses in the zoning district. <br />eart •/, of the propert}' is the proposed location of the new <br />baseball/soccer field. Since the City does not have a lease for this <br />portioii of the property and it is owned entirely by the School District a <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for the construction. Schools <br />and their associated facilities require a CUP. <br />In 1999 a CUP for Middle School construction was approved and the <br />school oi»ned the fall of 2000. A condition of approval for the new <br />Orono Middle School required the individual properties located east of <br />Old Crystal Bay Road be combined into one tax parcel. That parcel <br />includes the baseball fields and Middle School. <br />Access to the new baseball/soccer field would be via an extension to the <br />existing access from Old Crystal Bay Road. The road will lead to a 48 <br />stall parking area west of the ball field. In addition, the parking area <br />will include a turnaround with a 65' radius. The 65' radius is 15' <br />narrower dian a typical cul-de-sac width. The City Fire Marshal has <br />approved the turnaround width. The width meets the standard for basic <br />emergency service. <br />City Code requires parking for athletic fields as 1 parking space for each <br />six seats of capacity. Each 22 inches of bleacher space devoted to <br />seating is counted as one seat when determining design capacity for the <br />bleachers. Any bleacher space devoted to aisle or any other purpose is <br />Page 2 of 12 <br />n <br />7/ i J ^5^
