MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANTSENG COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD OCTOBER 18, 1993 <br />(#3) #1874 GARY DESANTIS/SAILORS WORLD - CONT. <br />Lindquist asked to have the 75' setback area defined and noted his objection to hardcover in the <br />0-75’ setback area. <br />Peterson aiao expressed concern over adding more structure to this already developed property. <br />He suggested looking at parking spaces 35, 36. 37 and 38 if the structures were to be placed on <br />the property. He felt the DNR was implying that the structure may be acceptable if placed over <br />existinc hardcover. <br />Nolan stated that these structures tend to "look 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 />Uiey would but explained tnat one of the strong points of these structures was the longevity of <br />weathering. He felt that maintaining the building w'ould not be a problem since it would be <br />similar to some boat maintenance. <br />Berg asked if the structures wou^d be leased. DeSantis confirmed that they could be with an <br />option to buy. He stated dock boxes do not prc-vide sufficient volume for storage. <br />Schroeder 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 tlie applicant, it may be i workable compromise. <br />DeSantis stated it vvould depend on what could be attached. There is a need to store pumps. <br />Currently the shed houses only electrical equipment. He questioned if he would gain enough <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 tor two storage structures. The proposal location <br />is unacceptable and there does not seem to be enough ot a hardship. <br />DeSantis a.sked 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 of the building and <br />hardcover are still issues. <br />1
