ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JULY 27,1998 <br />m KELL Y CO VE JOINT USE DOCK LICENSE - SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARING <br />7:30 P,M. - 8:58 P.M. - continued <br />Barrett commented that minutes from the original subdivision application refer to the wetland <br />easement as a wetland saving feature and also a limit to the number of docks. A condition of the <br />resolution approving the plat of Navarre Cove in 1979 states "creation of an area designated as <br />Outlot A, use of the dock area is subject to annual licensing according to ordinance and is limited <br />to six boats, one per dwelling unit." <br />Richard Edwards, 2480 Carman Street, stated he was representing the six homes surrounding the <br />lagoon. He has lived at the residence since 1953. He expressed concern about the location of the <br />proposed docks as they would disrupt navigation through the channel. He suggested the docks <br />be 10 ’ from shore rather than the proposed 20’ as the lagoon is 5’ deep throughout the area. He <br />also suggested the dock system be moved 25-30 ’ to the east toward the mouth of the lagoon to <br />allow more room for navigation at the curve. <br />Jabbour questioned if the City had any mechanism to control the size of docks. Gaffron <br />responded that conditions could be placed on a revised conditional use permit or revised joint use <br />dock license. <br />Kupfer indicated the duplex owners would not object to moving the docks to the east but would <br />like to place the docks at 12 ’ instead of 10 ’ with a length at 48’ because dock sections are 8’ in <br />length. The intent of the duplex owners is to move the docks to a better location for their use and <br />free up the outlot. He noted that the new owner of Lot 3 had removed an unsightly building. <br />Jabbour commented that the City would like to know what the use of Lot 3 will be for dock <br />purposes. Sheridan responded that the dock use will be driven by how the land is used, and that <br />has not yet been determined. <br />Kelley asked why Outlot A was created on Lot 3. He suggested moving Outlot A to the north <br />with the conditions remaining on the Outlot. <br />Kupfer responded that moving the Outlot would not make sense for the duplex owners because it <br />doesn’t improve the dock location a great deal for them. <br />Kelley asked the Council if their goal was to limit the boats to 6. Members confirmed that they <br />would like to maintain that limit.
