TO:Mayor Peterson and Orono City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />PROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & Zoning Administratoi^^^ <br />July 28, 1992 <br />Styrofoam Dock Flotation Ordinance <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Ordinance in Adoption Format <br />B - Councilmember Callahan's Proposal with Revisions <br />Adopted 7/27/92 <br />Discussion <br />Attached is the properly formatted ordinance adopted on a vote of <br />3 ayeSf 0 nays, and one abstention by the Council at the July 27th <br />meeting. <br />The ordinance has been placed in Subsection 9.58, Chapter 9 <br />deals with Public Protection, Crimes and Offenses, and in staff's <br />opinion this is an appropriate chapter for this ordinance. <br />The ordinance reference to Section 9.21 actually refers to the <br />language contained in Section 9.21 prior to May 9, 1988. The proposed <br />ordinance revision of Section 9.21 and addition of 9.23 to restore <br />such language is the subject of a separate proposed ordinance on the <br />August 10th agenda. <br />Now that staff has had a chance to review the ordinance as <br />adopted, staff would note the following comparison to earlier drafts: <br />The adopted ordinance contains no provision for interim <br />containment or cleanup measures. <br />B.The adopted deadline for removal of existing styrofoam will <br />allow its use only until the end of 1994, allowing <br />approximately 2 1/2 years of continued use from the date of <br />adoption. <br />C.The ordinance as adopted does not differentiate between <br />private and commercial uses, and therefore by implication <br />applies to both. <br />The use of foam types other than bead styrofoam is not <br />addressed, thereby implying such foams are not prohibited, <br />which meets with the staff's previous intent. <br />fe <br />If"' <br />' <br />felvv:;:.
