r <br />MIMTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION <br />WEDNESDAY, FEBRl ARY 23. IW4 <br />Serv ice mav have a cicarette license. Bers asked if it was important to marina users to have 3.2 <br />beer and cigarette sales available. Anderson thought marina users ma> bu\ beer at the marina <br />rather than making a slop someplace else for hard beer, lie added that cottee is more important <br />than 3.2 beer. tr> ing to make the pt»int that it would be better to sell coffee than beer. Nolan <br />had a similar viewpoint as he did regarding coffee - leave as a conditional use but offer only to <br />members/guests as a convenience. Peterson pointed out that the public is m>t limited from <br />buying anything at any marina. Schroeder felt to be consistent, sales of cigarettes and 3.2 beer <br />should be removed as a conditional use. Zullo also felt they should be taken out because the <br />marinas are close to residential areas and those sales are not appu>priate in residential <br />neighborhoods. Gaffron stated these sales have been allowed as a conditional use for at .east <br />20 years. Smith thought if it was impi>nant they amid be left in but since it didn’t seem <br />important, ste would agree to remove them. Gattron explained that it a marina had a legitimate <br />existing conditional use. there wtmld be the opportunity for being "grandfathered" as a non ­ <br />conforming use if there was not a gap of more than 12 months. Members agreed to remove <br />cigarette sales aixl s;de ot 3.2 beer from the conditional use list. <br />Gaffron que.stioned whether the Commission wanted to continue or set another meeting in two <br />weeks to finish discussion. He asked whether the public hearing should be held at a regular <br />Planning Commission meeting or at a special meeting. Members felt a special meeting was <br />more appropriate. <br />Schrrmder asked the members to continue with discussion of performance standard issues. Items <br />A-H. page 5 «>f the Proposed Amendment to Municipal Code from the memo dated February 8. <br />1994. have been previously discussed. Item I deals with on-land boat storage. Only one marina <br />has outside storage that exceeds 15’ in height arul that is three tiers and about 20 high. Two <br />tiers would be about 15’. Schrt^der saw no problem with this as written since any new <br />structure would have to come before the City for approval. Gattron reminded members that <br />required yards are 75’ at the lake. 30’ at the street and 10 ’ on either side. Required landscaping <br />areas are 10 ’ on sides. 10 ’ on street and 10% ot depth at the lake. <br />All members w'cre agreeable to Item J regarding gasoline storage. Peterstin questioned whether <br />this w'as currently being enforced. Gaffion noted that in the B-2 zone, as well as all business <br />zones, no above ground storage tanks are allowed. Peterson thought the code should be <br />amended and these tanks should be above ground and properly bermed. This should be made <br />consistent with Slate regulations. <br />Item K deals with on-land boat density. Gaffron explained that these are all new concepts that <br />haven’t been in the code before. Schroeder proposed this item be left for discussion at a later <br />time.
