• issued. Hork stated to Olson that he would not pour concrete <br />until approval by the City. On June 6, 1977, Olson discovered <br />that all the holes were filled with concrete and that anchor <br />bolts were embedded therein. That work was done over the week- <br />end within four days of Hork's promise not to proceed with the <br />construction. That act constituted construction without a <br />permit and a variance in violation of the State Building Code <br />and the Orono Municipal Code. <br />C� <br />0 <br />23. The Zoning and Planning Director in his memo dated <br />June 2, 1977, recommended denial of the proposed construction <br />of the two storage units and noted that Hork still had not <br />filed for a variance from the non -conforming use provisions <br />of the Zoning Code. <br />24. Hork and his attorney appeared before the City <br />Council on June 13, 1977, in order to review his proposal. <br />Hork stated he would be willing to limit the total number <br />of boats of any type at the facility to 150 boats, 95 of <br />which may be in the water. Mayor Van Nest stated that the <br />limitation should be to 130 boats of any type, 95 of which <br />may be in the water and cited the following reasons why <br />the proposed construction of the two storage units should <br />be denied, which reasons are hereby adopted by the City <br />Council. <br />A. The proposal should be denied because the storage <br />units would be over 15 feet in height in violation of the <br />Zoning Code. <br />B. The storage units would be an expansion of a legal <br />non -conforming use. <br />C. The storage units would be adverse to the compre- <br />hensive land use plan. <br />D. The storage units would promote a commercial use <br />in a residential zone. <br />E. The storage units would result in the diminution <br />in value to the surrounding properties. <br />F. The storage units would have an adverse visual <br />impact on surrounding properties and cause additional noise <br />and traffic problems because of the additional customers which <br />would be attracted to the premises. <br />G. The storage units and footings require a variance <br />and building permit from the City of Orono. There has been <br />no application for either a variance or building permit. <br />
