TO: Mayor Butler, Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator Orono Council Members FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth DATE: May 7, 1986 SOBJ: #1014 Board of Governors of Big Island Veteran's Camp - Conditional Use Permit Application - Conditional Use Permit for the temporary use of the island by workers involved in the clean up of the Big Island Veteran's Camp. List of Bxhibits A - Application B - Deed C - Property Owners List D - Plat Map E - Site Plan In 1985, the Veteran's Camp on Big Island was closed because of the potential health and safety hazards posed for the public who regularly used the facility. The structures were fire hazards. The entire facility had been allowed to deteriorate without any provisions for routine upgrading and maintenance. In that same year, the City commenced hazardous building proceedings against the State Department of Veteran's Affairs, responsible agent at that time. The Department of Veteran's Affairs has since relinquished all responsibility as trustee for the property. The Board of Governors of Big Island has assumed complete responsibility for the property in late 185. The Board of Governors has been asked to apply for a conditional use permit for a limited time period to allow workers, who have volunteered for the clean up work, to camp overnight on the island. The City must establish safety guidelines for that temporary use. Review the enclosed site plan - Exhibit F. The Xed structures are those scheduled for removal - non repairable. The circles note the structures already removed. Applicants have been working on the clean up since the ice out and should update us on the status of the property. The structures labeled 1 through 3 (cabin, boathouse and storage shed) are non -conforming and cannot be rebuilt in present location. All new structures must meet zoning setback standards of RS Code.
