MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION JUNE 19,2000 (#2589 WOODHILL COUNTRY CLUB, CONTINUED) a resolution was adopted by the City setting forth certain performance standards. Weinberger stated that perhaps enforcement is the issue here. Hawn commented it was her understanding the conditions contained in the resolution were adopted by both sides. Jackson stated the resolution also stated there could be up to 100 cars per day, with the maximum number of cars that typically use that road being 63 cars according to the Club’s traffic study. Storch stated the language included in the resolution stated if there routinely were more than 100 cars per day utilizing this road, the City Council would have the option of revisiting this issue. Hawn commented it may simply be a matter of verification of whether those standards are being complied with. Smith stated she is unsure whether the issue relates to the conditions not being followed or whether new conditions need to be added, which is probably something the Planning Commission cannot address at this time. Lindquist stated he would like to see Woodhill Country Club sit down with the neighbors to try to resolve these issues. Hawn indicated she would be prepared to make a motion approving this application with some added conditions, which in her view may not be approved, and that it may be more appropriate to table this application to enable some of these issues to be addressed. Smith stated if this application is tabled, then peibaps City Staff could meet with Woodhill Country Club and the neighbors, look at the conditions that have been imposed on this road to see whether they are appropriate and are being complied with or what steps should be taken to insure that these conditions are met. HawTi inquired whether the Planning Commission should address whether those standards are being complied with and whether some additional conditions should be added. Smith stated in her view to look at those standards now would take a great deal of time and may not be appropriate at this time. Hawn stated in her opinion MUSA is entirely appropriate for this facility. Lindquist stated he was in agreement with Hawn. Nygard stated MUSA in his opinion is appropriate for this property. Jackson stated he would be willing to sit down w ith the neighbors to tr>' to reach some solution on these issues. Jackson stated in his view the Club has done a good job with seeing that the gate is closed at 8:00 p.m., and whenever a problem has arisen that they arc aware of, the Club has taken PAGE 13
