MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> August 20,2001 <br /> (Boat Storage,Continued) <br /> Smith stated to meet that qualification the screening could be one sided or two sided depending on the <br /> situation. <br /> Hawn inquired whether it would be possible to amend the language regarding screening to have it apply <br /> only to the adjoining property on one side or the other. <br /> Kluth stated he would eliminate screening and that the maximum length of the boat is too low. <br /> Mabusth stated that number was suggested from someone on this panel who does have boating <br /> experience. <br /> Pat Fitzgerald stated the Minnesota Department of Transportation requires a permit if a boat is over <br /> eight and a half feet wide and over 44 feet long. <br /> David Rahn commented a 25 foot boat could have a 10 foot beam. <br /> Welsh stated in his view Item C should be deleted since it is a major bone of contention with the <br /> residents. <br /> Chuck Boehm stated most boats tend to get wider as they get longer. <br /> Hawn stated the Planning Commission is trying to develop a standard that should be in place for <br /> regulating the size of the boat stored on someone's property. <br /> Welsh stated in his view Item C should be deleted. <br /> Kluth reiterated the Planning Commission is attempting to come up with a reasonable size for a boat <br /> that can be stored on residential property. <br /> Hawn stated in her view MN/DOT's standard might be reasonable for a non-commercial hauler. <br /> Kluth inquired whether Welsh would be in favor of allowing someone to park an 80 foot boat on their <br /> property and allowing it to be brought in by semi-truck. <br /> Welsh stated that might be a stretch. <br /> Kluth questioned how the size of the boat should be regulated. <br /> Welsh stated due to the emotion and the heat regarding this ordinance, it might be wise to revisit this <br /> issue in about a year. Welsh stated in his view the City really does not have an ordinance regarding boat <br /> storage since it has not been enforced. Welsh stated he does not see any health, safety,or welfare issues <br /> here. <br /> (Smith leaves at 10:19 p.m.) <br /> PAGE 24 <br />
