i t MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JUNE 27, 1994 (#9) 1994 MARINA LICENSES - LAKESIDE MARINA AND GAYLE’S MARINA (CONTINUED) barges are stored illegally and must be removed, and the LMCD will ensure that this is done. Gaffron noted that the City has adopted certain LMCD regulations but has not enforced them to date. Staff will do so if directed by the City Council. Hurr inquired if anyone had checked the safety of a gas tanker truck parked on the property and Gaffron responded that staff could check into it, but noted that it was not a permanent fixture on the site. The underground gas tanks have been tested at the request of the MPCA and supposedly passed, but he could not reach Rick Newquist at MPCA to confirm this. Hurr requested that staff confirm that the tank had been tested. She felt that testing should be made a part of the licensing requirements for licenses issued in 1995. Mayor Callahan inquired whether Gayle’s Marina was being acquired by the DNR, and noted that the process was not rapid. He commented perhaps the City should consider the option of condemnation proceedings on the property and then deal directly with the DNR. Hurr stated that she understood that funds from the State lottery were to be used and the purchase will be completed this year. She did not wish to comment further, but felt that condemnation was not the correct course of action at this time. Hurr stated that she did not see where a caretaker could live on the property at Lakeside Marina, and Gaffron responded that the caretaker referred to lives on property three lots away, but keeps an eye on the marina. Hurr stated that the charter boat at Lakeside has been leased four times this summer and is presently parked at Crystal Bay Service. She asked where people were picked up, and Gaffron responded that they have used Lakeside Marina on more than one occasion. The Planning Commission is proposing an ordinance amendment making "charter boat port-of-call" a conditional use and will be bringing it to the Council in the near future. Hurr noted that the caretaker residence has two rental pontoon boats docked on Crystal Bay. Gaffron responded that staff has not confirmed this year whether they are his personal property or the property of the marina. He noted that commercial use from this residentially used property would require a conditional use permit, and none had been issued for this property. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Kelley, to approve 1994 Annual Commercial Marina Licenses for Gayle’s Marina and Lakeside Marina. Ayes 3, nays 1. Hurr voted no. Jabbour returned to the table.
