MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANMNT. COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD OCTOBER 18, IW <br />(#3) #1874 GARY DESANTIS SAILORS M ORLD - CONT. <br />Lindquist asked to have the 75* setback area defined and noted his objection hardcover in the <br />0-75* setback area. <br />Peterson also expressed concern over adding more structure to this already developed property. <br />He suggested liH)king at parking spaces 35. 36. 37 and 38 it the structures were to be placed on <br />the property. He felt the DNR was implying that the strticturc may be acceptable if placed over <br />existing hardcover. <br />Nolan stated that these structures tend to ’’l(H>k bad" after a period of time even though they are <br />galvanized. He asked if DeSantis would consider any other type of .structure. DeSantis said <br />they would but explained that one of the strong points of these structures was the longevity of <br />weathering. He felt that maintaining the building would not be a problem since it would be <br />similar to some boat maintenance. <br />Berg asked if the struemres would be leased. DeSantis confirmed that they could be with an <br />option to buy. He stated dock K)xes do not provide sufficient varlume for storage. <br />Schanrder stated he would be inclined to find some type of storage for the personal lawn mower, <br />etc. close to the existing building. He would be opposed to any type of "mini-storage" as there <br />are off-site options for this. <br />Smith suggested DeSantis consider enlarging the existing outside shed (which has the same <br />outside siding) and using some inside cabinetry for life preservers, etc. Although this may not <br />be ideal to the applicant, it may be a workable compromise. <br />DeSantis stated it would depend on what could be attached. There is a need to store pumps. <br />Currently the shed houses on'y electrical equipment. He questioned if he would gain cnougi. <br />storage by enlarging the shed but thought it would worth a try. <br />It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Lindquist, to deny Application #1874 for the requested <br />hardcover and lakeshore setback variances for two storage structures, 'fhe propo.sed location <br />is unacceptable and there d.ies iu)t .seem to be enough ot a hardship. <br />DeSantis asked if the structures were moved to the parking spaces out of the 0-75’ setback area <br />and only one structure used, would the objection be removed. <br />Schroeder noted the 0-75’ setback issued would be addressed but the nature ot the building and <br />hardcover are still issue^.
