i# ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING >UNUTES FOR JULY 13,1998 (U9) Kelly Cove Homeowners Association - Joint Use Dock License - continued Evans explained that there are four pads on Outlet A, Kelly Cove on which the homeowners are applying for a dock permit. Mayor Jabbour felt the City should have a development agreement with the owner of Lot 3, Navarre Cove stating that he will abandon the duplex use of the lot. He also suggested limiting the use to two boats even though he has the right to four boats on the lagoon. He suggested allowing the transfer of the four slips from Outlot A, Navarre Cove to Outlot A, Kelly Cove, providing they will never exceed four. Kelley questioned why Mayor Jabbour felt the owner of2474 Carman Road, on the other side of the lagoon, should be allowed four docks. Mayor Jabbour responded that the property has more access on the lakeside than the lagoon side. Goetten a.^ked if Lot 1, Navarre Cove had 200 ’ of lakeshore if four boats would be allowed. Gaffron replied tiiere was 120-130' of shoreline. Because of LMCD rules. Lot 1, Navarre Cove is a conforming lot. Kelley questioned why the City could limit one homeowner and not another in the lagoon. Mayor Jabbour replied that only six very small boats are allowed as part of the subdivision that was done with a former Council. Mayor Jabbour felt that Van Nest wanted to keep the lagoon undisturbed as a unique habitat. Kelley questioned again why the City wouldn’t limit the other homeowners in the lagoon as well. Mayor Jabbour replied because the other homeowners are not asking for anything. People are renting slips all over the lake, and Van Nest was afraid with the duplexes that they would become rented out. The LMCD allows rental of docks, but the Orono Code does not allow dock rental. An oN'Tier could have up to two boats belonging to anyone, and up to four boats provided they are recistered to the owner. Goetten questioned the width of the lagoon. Gaffron replied that the lagoon was 50 or 60 at the widest pan. Mayor Jabbour questioned the width of Outlot A, Kelly Cove. Gaffron stated it is roughly 205 . Kelly felt that the City needs to contact the owner of 2505/2507 Kelly Avenue. Kelley didn t think a public hearing was necessary, but felt the owners in the lagoon n 'eded to be notified, to be given an option to speak before any changes were made. i
