ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 16.1999 (m) *2468 cny of ORONO, zoning code amendment , LR-IC-1 • Continued Hawn asked if this code shouid be reviewed based on the Shoreland Ordinance. Gaffron said this matter could be delayed for further review before the moratoriunri expires. Mabusth said it would be beneficial to look at Section 10.56 of the Shoreland Ordinance to see if there are some sections in the zoning code that are not needed. Gaffron said for purposes of that review, he would take some sample real properties within the district and show how Section 10.56 would apply and what then becomes possible under those standards. McMillan moved, White seconded a motion to table application #2458 City of Orono, Zoning Code Amendment, LR-1C-1, One Family Lakeshore Residential Subdistrict, Section 10.26, Subd. 3. to Eliminate the Allowance of a 50% Increase in Dwelling Unit Density from 2 to 3 units per acre. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#2) #2459 CITY OF ORONO. ZONING CODE AMENDMENT. TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORDINANCE. 6:56 p.m. - 7:10 p.m. Gaffron presented the staff report. He said there is a need to clarify and correct certain provisions of Ord. #161,2nd Series which was adopted in May 1997. Gaffron reviewed the impact of a list of changes that were made to the ordinance. He said the impact of items 9 and 10 is that antenna structures are no longer allowed as a conditional use in the B-1 District and antennas are no longer allowed as an accessory use in B-1. These two items act to make all existing antennas in the B-1, B- 3, B-4, B-6 and Industrial district antennas non-conforming and make B-1 and B-3 antenna structures non-conforming. This is because no new accessory antenna provisions were adopted for B-1. He said that Section 3 of the proposed ordinance will take care of this problem by allowing accessory antennas and amateur short-wave antennas/towers in these ‘B* districts under the same conditions they are allowed in the Residential districts. Gaffron said the impact of item 11 is that Personal Wireless Service Antennas and Towers are allowed as a highly-regulated use in the B-1 and B-3 districts and also in the B-4, B-6 and Industrial districts if it is an accessory use in B-1, only when placed on a municipal structure, but there are no municipal structures in the B-1. B-3, B-4 or Industrial districts. He said Council ’s intent was to allow Personal Wireless Service antennas on the two City water towers. The Navane water tower is in the LR-1C district. The only municipal structure in B-6 is the well house. Since the City does not want a PWS antenna or tower on the well house, then this item should be dropped. Section 1 of the proposed ordinance deletes the portion of the ordinance that allowed PWS antennas and towers in the B districts. It also re-enacts the portion that adds qualifying language to the Public Services conditional use. Section 2 deletes the ‘Antenna Structure ” conditional use from B-1 in the same way it was deleted in all other districts. Gaffron said the impact of item 14 is that existing Industrial antenna structures became non- conforming. He said that was not the intent and it is resolved by Section 3 of the proposed ordinance. Gaffron said staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance which adds the 'Accessory Antennas ’ and 'Amateur Short Wave Radio Antennas and Towers' provisions into the B-1 list of accessory uses, rescinds Section 8 of Ordinance no. 161 2nd Series and comectly re-adopts the first three provisions of Section 8, and adds the ‘Personal Wireless Service Antennas and Towers ” provisions into the LR-1C list of accessory uses.
