i-JNUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL. MEETING LiELD FEBRUARY 25, 1985. PAGE 5 #880 STEVEN RUCE Councilmember L. Adams agreed with Ruce and the Planning Commission in regards to the low level of commercial use for the property. Adams stated that Ruce could have come into the City hall and asked for a building permit and received a building permit without getting a conditional use, but he was honest and mentioned a low level of commercial use for the property. Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that the zoning code doesn't address the "degree" of commerciality. Mabusth explained that to be asked for a refund of the fee is rather after -the -fact. Councilmember Grabek moved, Councilmember L. Adams seconded, to refund the $100 conditional use application fee to Steven Ruce but still have the conditional use on file and filed in the chain of title in order to protect the City against further commerciality on the property based on the low level of commercial use intended for the property. Motion, Ayes (3), Nays (0). #886 RICHARD RAGATZ 1945 CONCORDIA STREET VARIANCE RESOLUTION #1730* Acting Mayor Frahm moved, Councilmember L.

PLANNING FOR MAINTENANCE OF MUNICIPAL CODE 'Zoning Administrator Mabusth recommended that the City contract with the Municipal Ordinance Codifiers, Inc. for one year who would provide for the first annual revision and update of the municipal code. Mabusth stated that the other option is to buy the discs and have the City's own clerical staff update the code. Mabusth noted that the Municipal Codifiers would be able to incorporate the State Statutes into the municipal code whereas the City clerical staff would not be able to without a great deal of time spent on the project.. Mabusth noted that the City already has adop-ed 10 ordinances since the recodification of the code. Councilmember Grabek asked if the Codifiers could give the City an evaluation throughout the year fo get some idea of the cost of such a service. Police Chief Kilbo noted that the three of chose ten ordinances were the ones the Codifiers left out in the first place. Kilbo noted that those first three ordinances that were left out should be 'ree ones from tte Codifiers.
