r <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PL^UNNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION <br />WTIDNESDAY, MARCH 9 1994 <br />not diminishing the neighboring real estate values but spedfrcally references businesses located <br />to service lx>als for recreational purposes. This came from the 1975 Council. Peterson thought <br />this could be written as proposed. <br />Subdivision 2 deals with dermitions. Peterson thought this was pretty straightforward. <br />Gaffron continued with discussion of Subdivision 4 which requires a review of any application <br />for a building permit to do work at a marina and questioned if reference to the Lake Use <br />Committee should be omitted. <br />Peterson asked what tte Orono ctxle says when a marina dt>es not pay for a license. Gaffron <br />responded that all of the marinas regularly pay their license fees. The City has denied the <br />issuarttc of the license to a number of them for various lengths of time, however, no action was <br />taken to stop their operation. Peterson noted that from a legal standpoint if the City cashes the <br />check, they have granted them a license. <br />Peterson indicated he would remain after the meeting to discuss any personal comments or <br />concerns of the people present. <br />Smith asked if another work session should be scheduled after the joint work session on March <br />11. <br />DeSantis commented that he had a problem with the "List of Uses" being submitted to the <br />Council which indicates that the list has been agreed upon and, in fact, there is not agreeinent. <br />He felt the Council could have pre-conceived ideas. He questioned what should be a permitted <br />use. <br />Smith suggested re-ranking or marking up the list so the Planning Commission had something <br />in writing to refer to. <br />Gaffron reviewed the definitions of uses. A permitted use means it can be the primary and only <br />use for that site. If there is vacant land, one of these uses could be the only use. For example, <br />a marina owner or neighbor would not want to see a piece of vacant land with nothing on it but <br />a sign which is why it is considered an accessory use. Accessory use means it is secondary to <br />one of the permitted uses. He thought boat rental c-iuld be considered as a permitted use. <br />Conditional uses are things the City will allow a marina to do if a set ot standards is met that <br />has been set up in the code. Gaffron noted the right hand hst is a list of items that were <br />discussed at the various work sessions with the majority opii^ion being they should not be <br />included as a use within the B-2 zone. <br />Dunn suegested the Planning Commission take the "List of Uses" to the Council and go through <br />each item to get their input.
