The City had to <br />cancel the December Planning Commission meeting because of the <br />lack of a quorum. <br />The public hearing for zoning amendments dealing with <br />municipal facilities and temporary signs was rescheduled before <br />the Planning Commission at their April 15» 1991 meeting. Public <br />hearing notices were published and posted at the appropriate <br />sites. No one from the public was present to aldress the issue <br />of municipal facilities. A representative of the Navarre <br />business district# John O'Sullivan# and William Wear# a business <br />owner on Highway 12# were present. Please review the minutes of <br />April 15th for their comments. <br />List of lahiblta * <br />Exhibit A <br />Exhibit B <br />Exhibit C <br />Exhibit D <br />Exhibit E <br />Exhibit P <br />City of Orono Notice <br />Municipal Facilities Memo & Exhibits 12/12/90 <br />Temporary Sign Memo t Exhibits 12/13/90 <br />Navarra Business Distri^'t Petition <br />Proposed Ordinance - Mi icipal Facilities <br />Proposed Ordinance - Temporary Signs <br />1) Issue of municipal facilities. (Please review Exhibit B for <br />background on proposed amendment.) <br />It was the opinion of the Planning Commission that it was <br />never the intent of the code to allow municipal facilities of <br />other cities to be permitted in residential districts or in <br />coasMrcial or industrial districts where the use was compatible <br />with the zoning district. The Planning Commission stated that <br />the risk is obvious when a city allows another adjacent <br />municipality to make use of adjoining lands within Orono. To <br />allow adjacent municipalities to use lands within the City of <br />Orono encourages future annexation, we are currently dealing with <br />the City of Long Lake on just such an issue. The Planning <br />Cosmdssion would be against any ordinance that would encourage or <br />allow this use. <br />ismki.
