Ha fait staff should come up with a proposal for <br />dealing with 1992 licenses. He noted that the LMCO will now <br />require licenses for the next year to be Issued In December of <br />the previous year. Therefore the City would know in January who <br />was licensed for that year. <br />Callahan noted they may need to make amendments to the code, and <br />felt It was unfair not to deal with the 1991 license. <br />Mayor Peterson felt the money for 1991 should either ba refunded <br />or credited. <br />Gaffron suggested that all marinas be required to pay the 1991 <br />fees outstanding and apply for a 1992 license and pay the <br />required fees. If the Council feels the code needs to be amended, <br />have the Lake Use Committee work on the necessary amendments. <br />Mayor Peterson suggested there be a deadline for the 1992 fees <br />and after that a penalty fee be assessed. <br />Gaffron noted the fee schedule provides for a $50 late fee. <br />Callahan noted that the way to make these marinas conform is to <br />close their business until they are within the requirements of <br />the code. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Peterson, after <br />further consideration, the Council directs staff to notify <br />marinas who have not yet paid the 1991 license fee that they <br />should pay before th? end of 1991 before the Council will <br />consider the 1992 license. Ayes 4, nays 0. <br />Callahan noted that with the time the Lake Use committee has been <br />given to revise the shoreland regulations, there probably will <br />not bo time to also revise the marina regulations. <br />Jabbour noted he has difficulty requiring a 1992 license fee <br />based on slippage, which Orono doesn't govern. <br />Barrett explained that they can regulate the land use for <br />marinas, and the number of slips Is a measure of regulating land <br />use. <br />Jabbour noted that the City shouldn't charge based on the number <br />of slips. He asked Barrett the outcome of litigation In <br />Excelsior regarding a marina owner. <br />Barrett explained that the marina owner applied to extend his <br />docks, and the Judge appears to have held that the LHCO may have <br />wrongfully prevented him from doing so.
