MINITTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Mooday, July 16,2001 <br />(Rcpoil of Planning Commission, Continued) <br />Mabusth stated she attended the July 9th meeting where Council denied the application for the <br />Cables on Ivy Place for their request to allow an ice house to remain on the property. Council tabled <br />the application on Park Drive for a garage addition because Council couldn’t find sufficient <br />hardships. Mabusth distributed information on variance hardships received from John Shardlow and <br />Bruce Malkerson. <br />(#10) PENDING BOAT STORAGE ORDINANCE REVIEW . PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION <br />Planning Commission members felt a work session would be the best method to discuss boat storage <br />and discuss the information provided by Gaffron in the memo dated July 10, 2001 . <br />GafTron e.xplaincd that because notice was giving prior to the July 9 Council meeting when boat <br />storage was initially discussed, potentially it could be considered a public hearing. Ga^ron added <br />that it was the intent to have a Planning Commission work session, draft a proposed ordinance <br />amendment following the work session which would be at a public hearing at the nc.xt Planning <br />Commission meeting, and then have the ordinance go to Council for adoption at the end of August. <br />GalTron indicated that the public at the Council meeting were interested in having larger <br />boats that they could store on their property without screening. <br />Stoddard requested that GafTron review two things prior to the work session. <br />White plastic versus blue plastic. He had heard that in the south white is used <br />because it doesn't absorb the heat; while blue plastic is used in the north <br />because when there is hca\7 snow or ice, the blue plastic absorbs and melts <br />the moisture. <br />2)Seasonal storage. He has observed some boats that have been on a property <br />year-round for several years. <br />Fritzler commented that vehicles that are unlicensed and inoperable are addressed in Orono's <br />code, however boats arc not. It may be an option to pursue for boats as well. Gaffron stated <br />that these ordinances have been enforced by the Building and Zoning statY rather than the <br />Police Department. <br />A work session to discuss boat storage was scheduled for July 3 1 at 8:00 a.m. in the Council <br />Chambers. <br />(#11) OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br />None <br />PAGE 19
