� O� <br /> O O <br /> ,� :. �, <br /> CITY of ORONO <br /> �'�� �G~ RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> `9k'ESH�g' No. 6 0 3 l. <br /> 3. The portion of the residential property west of Shoreline Drive is zoned LR-lA <br /> Lakeshore Residential District comprising approximately 0.37 acres in area, of which <br /> approximately 50' x 110' or 0.13 acre has been historically used for marina parking. <br /> 4. On March 21, 2011 the Orono Planning Commission reviewed the application as <br /> proposed and voted 4-1 to recommend denial of the application based on the lack of <br /> sufficient information to guarantee the number of parking stalls available to serve the <br /> marina and boat club uses, but to change that recommendation to one of approval if <br /> the applicant submits further evidence to staff to demonstrate that the combined use <br /> of the marina and boat club will comply with the parking regulations of Section 78- <br /> 668 and staff finds that the objective requirements of that section are met and <br /> adequate parking is available at the site. <br /> 5. The City Council makes the following findings of fact regarding this application: <br /> a. Resolution No. 2674 adopted by the City Council on August 14, 1989 <br /> documented the availability of 73 total parking stalls on the commercial and <br /> residential properties falling 4 stalls short of the 77 stalls determined to be <br /> required by code for the marina use at that time under the approved site plan, <br /> and a 4-stall variance was granted. <br /> b. The zoning code does not currently establish an incremental parking <br /> requirement for the boat club conditional use. <br /> c. Council finds that operation of a boat club use does not require additional <br /> parking over and above the level required for marina use if the boat club is <br /> operated in an appropriate manner. <br /> d. Changes in the marina operation at this site since 1989 have resulted in fewer <br /> boat slips on the water, with the current number of required parking stalls <br /> being calculated as follows: <br /> Total slips on water: 97 <br /> Total slips devoted to retail sales/display/service operation: 6 <br /> Net available rental slips: 91 slips x 0.6 stalls required per slip = 54.6 stalls <br /> Additional stalls required for sales/service operation: 8 stalls <br /> Additional stalls required for area of building > 1000 s.f.: 3 stalls <br /> Additional stalls required for employee parking: 4 stalls (nominal) <br /> Total stalls required per current code= 54.6+8.p+3.0+4.0=69.6 =70 stalls <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> � <br /> 4 <br />
