1999 Marina Licenses December 9,1999 Page 4 D. North Shore Marina The North Shore Marina operation includes 93 slips in the water (historically the City only allowed 86 slips, but LMCD allows 93) plus a dry stack storage unit with 72 slots (all of which LMCD licenses but only 20 of which Orono has historically allowed for lake use). The property also contains a service building, an office, a "club house" for slip users, and two dwellings, one of which is vacant and the other which is used as a caretaker unit. The site provides ample parking for customers in the summer and a large capacity for storage in the winter. The last two winters this site has been fully utilized for boat storage, and this winter it appears full again. Two activities on the site require a conditional use permit. These include the caretaker dwelling unit and on-demand public boat launching (dry stack operation). Staff has met with Mr. Anderson a number of times regarding the required CUP application. He has acknowledged that these two activities are ongoing absent the required conditional use permit, and has indicated his attorney has advised him to not apply. Both activities requiring a CUP have been ongoing for many years prior to the CUP requirement. Staff/City Attorney review of this issue has not made progress in 1999. E. Activities occurring on the site which require the property owner's ongoing attention in order to remain in compliance with the seven operation standards include limiting storage of boat trailers and other equipment to those areas noted on the approved site plan (specifically keeping the area between the road and the dr\- stack units free of storage). The applicant has been issued permits for some minor landscaping work in this area, and his intent is to continue to beef-up the vegetative screening between the dry-stacks and the road. Staff recommends approval of a 1999 license for North Shore Marina. Lakeside Marina Lakeside Marina did not submit a 1999 license application. Lakeside Marina has 77 rental slips on Maxwell Bay. This is a full-service operation that includes a boat club, repair shop, ship's store, boat brokerage, charter boats berthed at the site and sometimes using it as a port- of-call, and to a limited extent on-demand launching of customer boats stored on site, as well as transient launching when space is available. Lakeside's 1 995,1 996,1 997 and 1998 license applications each indicated that all of the five activities requiring a CUP under the 1995 B-2 Code revisions, were or would be occurring on the site. An incomplete CUP application with S300 fee was submitted by Mr. Duim on May 31,1996. Staff has had numerous contacts with the marina operator since then detailing
