r i*’- L^S' > r. 'V- h 'j: ', i'. IrL-. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING - NOVEMBER 25, 1991 OPTIONS FOR MARINA LICENSE REVIEW - CONT. But1«r noted that Jabbour is suggesting that marina licenses be limited to land use solely. Mayor Peterson asked If this review would be done annually. Jabbour felt It should be done once and those conditions of approval should oe taken to court. violating Callahan noted he had no objection to the theory. Me felt they should start by sending a letter to each marina operator who failed to submit a 1991 application, and telling them they cannot open for business the following year until licenses have been brought up to date. He felt that if a marina Is in violation of the code, the operation should cease for a pre-determlned time period. Jabbour reiterated that the reason they suggested a credit was because licenses had not been Issued as required. He noted that only 1 marina did not pay the 1991 fee, and they should be required to do so. Qmffron reviewed that 2—3 years ago, Council was approached by operators to waive the slip fee as the lake was down and business was not doing so well. He noted that one year the gas station was allowed not to apply for a license and did not open that year, but Council stated they would not lose their right to reopen. He noted the 1991 application and fee has not been racalvad from Windward Marino, Lakeside sent In the application but asked that the previous year's fee be applied tc 1991 license, and Gayles sent the base fee but no slip fee. All other marinas have paid the 1991 fee. He noted that making all marinas to pay up to date may not be In keeping with past Council's decisions. Callahan noted that If that wore true, the slip fee was waived for only one year. He felt they should pay up or cease business. Butler noted that they should forget the past and deal with the present. She felt that they should address land use Issues, and parking should not be tied to number of slips. She noted the City needs to look at Individual Issues. She felt this was a new year with a new Council and they shouldn't go back for past due fees. Qaffron requested confirmation that the Council now does not want to allow credits from past years, and everyone who wants to open In 1992 must moke application for a license and pay past due fees.
