MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> APRIL 16,2001 <br /> (#01-2667 Richard Anderson, Continued) <br /> Anderson stated he currently has 16 boat slips for dry-stack and does not expect that number will need <br /> to be increased. <br /> Rick Windenburg, 3200 North Shore Drive, stated he has concerns regarding the increased traffic and <br /> noise that would occur if these additional storage units are approved. Windenburg expressed <br /> frustration with a loud bell that rings quite frequently for people who wish to purchase gas at the <br /> marina. Windenburg commented his property faces the back side of the marina and it is not a pretty <br /> sight. Windenburg noted the back side of the buildings are not painted at the current time. <br /> Windenburg stated he was aware he bought property next to a marina at the time he purchased his <br /> residence. <br /> Anderson commented he would like to be a good neighbor and is willing to work with his neighbors in <br /> order to resolve their concerns. Anderson stated he was not aware of the concern relating to the back <br /> side of his buildings until tonight. <br /> Windenburg commented he also experiences problems with people cutting across his property in order <br /> to access the marina. <br /> Hawn stated the Planning Commission would prefer to let the neighbors work out their problems <br /> amongst themselves. Hawn stated if the problems cannot be resolved that way, the residents are free to <br /> come back to the City. <br /> Mrs. Windenburg commented that pollution is also a concern. <br /> Libby stated he would like to know what the impact will be to the boat traffic on the lake as well as the <br /> additional traffic going in and out of the marina. <br /> Kluth stated in his view the traffic limit in this area should be lowered. Kluth stated in his view the <br /> impact on the traffic will be difficult to determine and that one of the ways the City can control the <br /> traffic in and out of the marina is to restrict the amount of parking available. <br /> Robert Ritter, 3260 Bohns Point Lane, stated he has many of the same concerns that his other <br /> neighbors have already expressed. Ritter commented there is a lot of debris and garbage located on the <br /> west side of the service building,which in his view should be cleaned up. Ritter stated in his opinion if <br /> a fence were erected on the marina property that would eliminate the problem of people trespassing <br /> through the adjoining properties. Ritter stated in addition he also experiences problems with dogs <br /> coming into his yard. <br /> Libby stated they also are experiencing a problem with people partying at the marina until the early <br /> morning hours. <br /> Hawn indicated it was her understanding the marina is supposed to shut down at 10:00 p.m. <br /> Anderson stated there are very few boats that stay out late and that he is not aware of any people <br /> partying until the early morning hours at his marina. Anderson stated he also attempts to limit the size <br /> PAGE 14 <br />
