• <br />�J <br />• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD FEBRUARY 18, 1992 <br />AMENDMENT OF SHORELAND REGULATIONS - CONT. <br />Gaffron noted it is Council's intention after the adoption of the <br />ordinance to send a letter to the DNR and surrounding communities <br />explaining Orono's actions and position with regards to the <br />ordinance. <br />It was moved by Chair Kelley, seconded by Schroeder, to recommend <br />adoption of the proposed shoreland overlay district and new <br />performance standards. Ayes 4, nays 0. <br />Bellows noted that the ordinance affects much of the developed area <br />within Orono. <br />Gaffron stated it makes one wish the DNR had forced the issue 20 <br />years ago. He stated that Boyke's proposed subdivision on Lydiard <br />Lake will not be approved without additional variances, and noted <br />Mr. Boyke was aware of this fact prior to this adoption. <br />Chair Kelley felt it would be good to let the citizens know of the <br />new ordinance in a newsletter. <br />Callahan announced all other Council members but himself think the <br />newsletter is a good idea. He stated they had reviewed it in <br />connection to the amended septic code ordinance. <br />Schroeder felt it was important to communicate to the residents. <br />Bellows stated that most citizens probably had no idea of the <br />impact this ordinance would create. <br />Callahan reminded them that the City had no choice in amending its <br />shoreland regulations. <br />Mabusth felt this ordinance will require an educational process for <br />immediate applicants and the general public. <br />Chair Kelley asked if Long Lake was required to amend its shore land <br />regulations. <br />Gaffron stated they probably would be, but were apparently not in <br />the first priority grouping and therefore were afforded more time <br />to do so. <br />4 <br />
