MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 20, 2003 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#6) #03-2923 STEVAN WAGNER, 3607 SHORELINE DRIVE, Continued <br /> Wagner stated that any fuel storage is contained within the required double wall tanks, in <br /> addition, he uses oil waste traps to collect waste. He indicated that he could put a slab near <br /> the diesel fuel area but didn't know how the City would react to that suggestion. <br /> Woody added that any waste that is collected with runoff is filtered in the traps before <br /> allowing the runoff to reach the stormwater sewers. <br /> Rahn noted that this was a common practice to use waste traps which can be pumped out <br /> and cleaned once waste is collected. <br /> Hawn asked for more specifics regarding the sign. <br /> Gaffron pointed out that,while the applicant is allowed a certain square footage, he has <br /> fallen below his allowance. <br /> With regard to the issues for discussion, Hawn stated that she would prefer to see more <br /> storage moved inside. While she recognized that many pieces of equipment cannot be kept <br /> inside for practicality, Hawn requested that these items be moved towards the back of the <br /> site. <br /> Mabusth asked about the dock sections kept in the north yard. <br /> Wagner stated that these would be removed in an effort to clean up the site. With regard to <br /> the trucks and equipment, Wagner stated that he would try to screen these better and move <br /> them to the best of his ability. <br /> Mabusth asked if there were a staging for rental of vehicles etc. <br /> Wagner explained that once an item is reserved, it is typically, moved to the west side to be <br /> picked up. He noted that further jostling of the arrangement could be done; however, added <br /> that certain arrangements are necessary to ensure efficiencies. <br /> Rahn pointed out that they would be gaining a great deal more space indoors, <br /> approximately 1700 s.f. <br /> Fritzler questioned whether the industrial business itself was compatible with the B-1 <br /> Zoning standards of the site. He believed the applicant should be more amenable to <br /> screening and moving things around. <br /> Noting that it was not her wish to see the business go away, Chair Smith urged the <br /> applicant to utilize the indoor space by moving more of the equipment inside. <br /> Page 10 of 29 <br />
