ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, JULY 9, 2001 <br />• <br />(Storage of Boats and Boat Trailers, Continued) <br />prohibits outside storage in the industrial and commercial areas, which creates a hardship <br />for the residents. He felt responsible to his immediate neighbors, but did not believe <br />people who could see his boat in driving past his property would have a reason to <br />complain. <br />Tim Line at 4415 Forest Lake Landing stated that his definition of a neighborhood is <br />broader than many others. He does not care to drive by boats covered in blue 7 months out <br />of the year. He suggested Orono adopt an ordinance like Wayzata's that requires screening <br />from public right of ways. He feels that a few people take advantage and do not comply <br />with the ordinance. He stated they have guests coming to their home from around the <br />world and does not appreciate boats being visible from the public right of way. He does <br />not object to boats being stored outside on commercial property. <br />Gary Welsh of 1214 Wildhurst Trail stated that requiring off -site storage would be like <br />having an extra tax. He has traveled to other lake communities and feels Orono's storage <br />situation is very common. He also stated that one is not allowed to work on a boat in off- <br />site storage. <br />Nan Nimerfroh at 999 Wildhurst Trail stated that her family moved to Orono specifically- • <br />to be on the lake and not have to pay to store their boat in the off - season. <br />Maybeth Christianson, 941 North Arm Drive, stated that winter in Minnesota is not prem_- <br />no matter what and putting a boat in someone's yard does not detract from the winter <br />scenery. She stated it's the ultimate snob who is upset by the tarps. <br />Curt Quady at 1223 South Brown Road stated that he has lived in Orono since 1927 and <br />has a blue cover on his boat. He talks to his neighbors to make sure there aren't any issues <br />with his boat. <br />Lorie Line at 4415 Forest Lake Landing stated that she felt winter is the most beautiful <br />time of the year, and blue tarps wreck it. She stated everyone could compromise and agree <br />on the placement of boats and to use white tarps instead of blue. She was not so concerned <br />with the size of the boat as how it is stored and that it be concealed from the right of way-. <br />Bruce Nusbaum at 3480 North Shore Drive stated that he would not be able to afford off - <br />site storage for his boat and asked if they only wanted the very wealthy in Orono. <br />Tom Theisen at 4175 Forest Lake Drive stated that although they would like to resolve <br />differences with their neighbors, it seemed impossible in some cases. He asked how they <br />0 <br />
