Mayor and City Council <br />May 4,1999 <br />Page 8 <br />Only one business driveway shall be allowed per development unless a <br />greater number of driveways are approved by the City, or approved as part <br />of the site plan review. <br />Paragraph D states: <br />No portion of a driveway approach ... shall be constructed ... within 100 <br />feet of a comer in a residential district. <br />My clients believe that any temporary use or permanent use of Woodhill Avenue by <br />commercial traffic from the Club would create such a hazard and woi'ld not comply with the <br />above standards. <br />1 understand that the City of Orono issues a liquor license to the Club annually for <br />activities at the “Bam ”. My clients ask that when the liquor license is up for renewal that the <br />review of the license take into effect the vehicular access, if any is approved, to Woodhill <br />Avenue. <br />There may be other applicable ordinances of which we are unaware, <br />F. The Factual Reasons for Denying the Temporary or Permanent Use of Woodhill Avenue <br />as an Access to the Club Are as Important as the Legal Reasons <br />1. Woodhill Avenue is unlighted, narrow, poorly maintained, with blind <br />intersections. It is not suitable for conunercial traffic. There is no sidewalk or pedestrian <br />walkway or bikeway. All pedestrians and bikes must use the street. <br />2. The use of the road by commercial traffic will endanger the children, homeowners <br />and their invitees in the area. <br />3. The commercial traffic will include some patrons of the Club who have been <br />consuming liquor before using the road. <br />4. Any traffic in the evening will be more hazardous because Woodhill Avenue is <br />not lighted. <br />5. Orono Orchard Road, a scenic parkway, is not constructed or maintained to <br />handle more commercial traffic. <br />26025 <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />£ <br />t I <br />\ <br />► f <br />» I
