r <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 18, 1996 <br />(#10 - #2195 Geninar Industries - Coniinued) <br />Lindquist said the application as he saw it calls for a 10 stall variance to the parking code. <br />Lindquist said he would not differentiate between the uses. Lindquist said the facility <br />should provide toilets and pump out. Smith agreed. He noted he did like the green area. <br />Berg said the old building showed a character not present with the new building proposed. <br />Lindquist asked the applicant if the application should be tabled for further review or if a <br />vote should be taken. McConnell asked for additional comments before tabling. <br />Hawn said she would be interested in viewing the City Engineer’s report on the pond to <br />see if it was adequate to meet the current standards. Lindquist noted that the proposal <br />should meet the ordinance changes made in 1995. <br />Mr. Schmitt asked if there were any building codes that must be met. Gaffron said the <br />building must meet the B-2 standards, but those standards do not discuss how the building <br />should look. <br />Berg said she traveled the road daily and is concerned with the traffic and number of <br />people using the facility on the narrow, busy roadway. She saw the site as being the <br />entrance into Orono and said she was adamant that the building be a good representation <br />of Orono. Berg cited a nearby example of a remodeled building that the proposal should <br />emulate. <br />Gaffron indicated there were licensing standards that are required to be met. He noted» <br />that the property has been open during the winter and summer to include storage and <br />asked if there was further intent to add storage. McConnell said the applicant had looked <br />at that possibility, but it was not their intent to provide for storage at this time but possibly <br />in the future. <br />Smith moved, Berg seconded, to table Application #2195 to allow for further review. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />The application will be reviewed at the January, 1997 meeting. <br />(#11) #2196 GENMAR INDUSTRIES, INC., 1449 SHORELINE DRIVE - <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMITA^ARIANCES - PUBLIC HEARING 10:51-11:13 <br />P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />The Applicant was present.
