r <br />MESUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCILMEETING HELD ON <br />DECEMBER 8,1997 <br />Goetten moved, Flint seconded, to table Application #2308 to the January 12 Council <br />Meeting. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />(#10) #2314 JOHN BESSESEN, HOYT DEVELOPMENT, 2505-2507 KELLY <br />AVENUE - ZONING AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AND <br />VARIANCE - RESOLUTIONS NO. <br />Van Zomeren explained how the existing duplex credit works. She noted it is a moving <br />target as it is tied to the commercial and industrial zones. The properties within the <br />allowed proximity to the industrial zone are eligible as they are not adjacent as required <br />due to the location of the roadways and railroad. In the commercial zoning, the only <br />area eligible is that in the Orono Mall area. The areas within 200' of that zone and <br />adjacent to it were shown. Van Zomeren said in actuality, the duplex credit would not <br />occur where allowed as it is not practical. She showed the Navarre area where eligibility <br />for duplex credit could occur noting its haphazard schematics. <br />Van Zomeren indicated that the purpose of the duplex credit is to buffer the single <br />family housing from the commercial areas. It is her opinion that this is not a good <br />scheme. The proposed property could be added by using the B3 District and <br />establishing additional eligibility within 250*. This would add the property in question
