MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 8, 2010 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />______________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 8 of 13 <br /> <br />(9. CITY OF ORONO – POLICY FOR JOINT USE DOCK SURVEYS, Continued) <br /> <br />Franchot asked why Staff is recommending an updated survey every 10 years. Franchot commented if <br />there are no changes and Staff is inspecting the site every year, it may not be necessary to have the survey <br />updated every 10 years. <br /> <br />White commented he is in agreement with that recommendation. <br /> <br />Franchot noted the property owner could also be required to submit a new survey earlier than 10 years if <br />there are changes and suggested Staff incorporate language that would allow some flexibility in the survey <br />requirement. <br /> <br />Bremer indicated she also is in agreement with that. <br /> <br />Franchot moved, McMillan seconded, to delete the language requiring updated surveys every 10 <br />years from the policy, and to amend the policy to allow leeway in the requirements for a survey when <br />deemed appropriate by Staff, and to adopt the proposed language policy for joint use dock survey <br />requirements. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />10. #10-3483 CITY OF ORONO – ZONING AMENDMENT – COLUMBARIUM – <br />ORDINANCE NO. 79, THIRD SERIES <br /> <br />Curtis stated at the October 25th City Council meeting, the Council reviewed two options for the ordinance; <br />one which allowed a 5-foot setback for columbaria on all properties or a 5-foot setback from city-owned <br />parks. The application was tabled to allow more time for Staff to research above-ground columbaria with <br />respect to setbacks and height limitations as well as look closer into the year-round screening requirements <br />proposed. <br /> <br />At Council’s direction, Staff has researched the issue of height, setback and screening. Staff is now <br />proposing additional language which is attached as a draft ordinance. The new language will address <br />height limitations, a definite setback from the street, and screening where it is deemed appropriate. <br /> <br />The new requirements are as follows: <br /> <br />1. Columbaria will have a limitation of eight feet in height; <br /> <br />2. A 10-foot setback would be required from property lines and from streets for all above ground <br /> columbarium elements; <br /> <br />3. A 5-foot setback would be required from property lines for any below ground columbarium <br /> elements; <br /> <br />4. Columbaria will have a 50-foot setback from adjacent principal structures; <br /> <br />5. Appropriate levels of screening could be determined on a site by site basis with the CUP review. <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether a 50-foot setback is required for an in ground columbarium. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 11/22/2010 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/08/2010 [Page 8 of 13]
