MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING CO\LMISSION MEETING HELD OCTOBER 18, 1993 [ft2) mi A GARY DESANTIS/SAILORS WORLD - CONT, Lindquist asked to have the 75’ setback area defined and noted his objection to hardcover in the 0-75’ setback area. Peterson also expressed concern over adding more structure to this already developed property He suggested looking at parking spaces 35. 36. 37 and 38 if the structures were to be placed on the property. He felt the DNR was implying that the structure may be '’.cceptable if placed over existing hardcover. Nolan stated that these structures tend to "look bad" after a period of time even though they are galvanized. He asked if DeSantis would consider any other type of struemre. DeSantis said thev would but explained that one of the strong poin:s of these strucnires was the longevity of weathering. He felt that mamtainmg the building would not be a problem since it would be similar to some boat maintenance. Berg asked if the structures would be leased. DeSantis confirmed that they could be with an option to buy He stated dock boxes do not provide sufficient volume for storage. Schroeder stated he would be inclined to find some tspe of storage for the personal lawn mower, etc. close to the existing building He would be opposed to any type of "mini-storage ” as there are off-site options for this. Smith suggested DeSantis consider enlarging the existing outside sued (which has the same outside siding) and using some inside cabinetry for life preservers, etc Although this may not be ideal to the applicant, it may be a workable compromise DeSantis stated it would depend on what could be a tached. There is a need to store pumps. Currently the shed houses only electrical equipment He questioned if he would gam enough storage by enlarging the shed but thought it would worth a try It was moved by Peterson, seconded by Lindquist, to deny Application #1874 for the requested hardcover and lakeshore setback variances for two storage strucnires The proposed location IS unacceptable and there coes not seem to be enough ot a hardship DeSantis asked it tlie structures were moved to the perking spaces out ot the 0-75 setback area and only one structure used, would the objection be removed Schroeder noted the 0 '5’ setback issuea would be acdressed but the nature of the building and hardcover are still issues
