Zoning File #1122 April 7, 1987 Page 4 of 4 In response to Mr. Wisdorf's letter, Exhibit F, staff had asked that the application he tabled until three items cited by staff were addressed. Staff is hesitant to recommend to Council opening the camp to overnight camping use until we are assured appropriate measures have been established to secure safe use of the facility. Please note the recommendation of the Planning Commission included staff's request for the additional information. In addition to the controls established in last year's permit (Exhibit C), staff would recommend the following amendments or additions: a) Temporary permit to commence April 15, 1987.through September 30, 1987 - Remember cleanup can be conducted daily, the conditional use permit is *ply required for overnight camping of work crews. b) Makeup of work crews - scout group, etc. - Does Council have concern with the ages of overnight vistors at this stage of the rehabilitation of the facility. Should we limit the ages of work crew members or assure there an adequate number of adult supervisors? c) Name of the caretaker - The caretaker was an integral part of the coordination of burning activities on the island last year. It was difficult to make contact with him as there was no Fhone on the island. If the caretaker does not have responsibility for the coordinating of activities this year, the City should hove a list of persons with such authority to be contacted when specific direction or information is required or to be relayed. d) What kinds of activities are planned for this year's cleanup? All activities are limited to: 1. Razing and burning of buildings; 2. Cleanup and burning of debris/brush. Outside of razing Berg Hall, no more removals are planned. Burning shall be treated with great caution whi le the dry conditions exist. Do they plan to barge debris off island in summer months? We need to know what kinds of activities are planned so that staff can evaluate work loads. If this permit is to be enforced properly, r;-gular staff involvement is necessary. e) Schedule regular inspections of facility - provide tranportation for Orono staff - Planning Commission recommender? every 90 days; staff would recommend at a minimum a monthly inspection. f) Planning Commission has recommended a portable water supply and tempory sewage disposal facilities to serve needs of work crews. Staff has asked the applicant to provide information on these facilities. The enclosed resolution has 1-c en drafted for your review and action.
