MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 23,2003 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />(«03>2869 DR. ROBERT GUMNIT, Contioucd) <br />Murphy explained that not all neighbors are as good of stewards of the land as the Gumnits propose <br />to be, adding that he would prefer to see the placement of the shed in advance when they are ready <br />to build it <br />Dr. Gumnit pointed out that, technically, he would have the right to put the loafing shed at the top <br />of the hill without any variances; however, he agreed to approach the City if necessary. <br />Mayor Peterson concurred with Murphy, stating that she would prefer to see the shed placed lower <br />on ^e hill. <br />Dr r: -mnit was hesitant to make any promises with regard to the shed, indicating that he would <br />place it in a low-visibility location <f possible. <br />Sansevere staievl that, in reality, based a the amount of land the applicants own they could keep <br />more than four horses. <br />Murphy believed the code would indicate they could keep up to 7 horses; however, he was hesitant <br />to change the Planning Commission’s recommendation bas^ on their purposeful deliberation. <br />Gafiron stated that staff would be comfortable with 4, but concerned about it being 7. Whereas <br />future new owners might decide to keep all 7 horses all of the time on the island, Gaffron <br />encouraged the Council to honor the intermittent and 4 horse limit language in the Resolution. <br />Murphy questioned whethei the City was offering them less than w hat most of their property could <br />truly support. <br />While these owners may prove responsible, Gaffron was hesitant to remove all restrictions on <br />future owners who might have differing views. <br />Moorse stated that it would not be as difficult to monitor the condition of the property on an <br />occasional basis as it would be to monitor whether horses were being kept on the intermittent <br />timelines. <br />Dr. Gumnit stated that they would intend to rotate the horses to other f»rts of the property, if the <br />Council could support the 26’ setback on the mainland as well. <br />Gaffron felt this to be a new twist and asked the Planning Commission representative whether they <br />had considered this. <br />Rather than an entire Ordinance change that would affect other parts of town, Rahn stated that they <br />chose to look at the applications on a case by case basis. <br />Mayor Peterson reminded the Council that the property was zoned rural, where horses are an <br />allowed accessory use, and not lakeshore. <br />PAGE 6 of 15 <br />1 <br />i
