• MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION WORK SESSION <br />WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1994 <br />be paved" but shall be provided with appropriate stormwater runoff quality /quantity controls. <br />Parking areas change hardcover. Peterson asked if any of the marinas have added catch basins <br />or baffle systems. Gaffron responded that Sailors World incorporated a filter system along their <br />entire sea wall. Mabusth added Windward and Minnetonka Boat Works have also addressed this <br />issue. Gaffron noted that it is not an expensive process but takes space which results in a site <br />use change for marinas. Nolan stated parking spaces cannot be designated without paving and <br />inquired if the marinas met the parking requirements. Gaffron explained most marinas meet the <br />required number of parking spaces required but the location of spaces do not meet the current <br />code requirements. Nolan asked if there are parking problems at the marinas resulting in <br />complaints from cars parking on the streets. Gaffron stated that it is not an everyday problem. <br />Nolan questioned the 6 stalls per 10 slips parking ratio. Gaffron responded that if the spaces <br />are managed properly the ratio is probably appropriate. Camilo Castellon, a neighbor living <br />across from Sailors World, complained that parking is a constant problem in his area. Gaffron <br />indicated Sailors World had been granted a variance for storage which takes up one spot but they <br />have an agreement for additional parking arrangements at the Art Center. Rich Anderson from <br />Sailors World stated the "no parking signs" are enforced in front of their location along County <br />Road 15 and feels parking problems have been reduced.

Lee <br />Fishback noted that cruise boat problems are not identified. Gaffron explained that item D is <br />a proposed addition to the code and addresses charter boats, requiring 1 stall per 3 charter boat <br />seats. <br />Gaffron proceeded to Item F regarding parking and winter storage and stated most problems <br />occur in the transition seasons in the spring and fall. <br />An addition to the code is Item H pertaining to employee parking spaces. Peterson questioned <br />if it was needed. Dunn reiterated the .5 formula and said management of the inside envelope <br />and overflow issues were challenges to the marina operators. The impact of "no parking signs" <br />along neighbors' property was discussed and the possibility of placing "residents only parking <br />signs". Nolan suggested an appropriate parking ratio needs to be established and enforcement <br />of parking violations. Dan Crear, a resident who has lived in the area of Sailors World for a <br />number of years, said parking has never been a problem for him. Crear expressed displeasure <br />with the proposal by the DNR for a ramp between two marinas on North Shore Drive. <br />Councilmember Jabbour clarified that the DNR purchased a piece of land for public access and <br />2 <br />
