MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, September 24, 2001 • ( #01 -2692 ABC Supply Company, Continued) industrial uses are also being contemplated for this district. Flint stated he likes the idea of extending the trees further to the north, but has a concern regarding the trucks being parked on Old Crystal Bay Road. Weinberger stated the parking of the trucks is not addressed in the resolution. Weinberger stated it might be more appropriate to post portions of Old Crystal Bay Road no parking since a lot of the vendors may not be aware of the conditions of the conditional use permit regarding parking. Flint stated he would like it included in the resolution in the event it continues to be a problem so the City can address that issue with the Applicant. Flint stated he also would not be opposed to posting no parking along Old Crystal Bay Road. Flint inquired whether the Applicant would be agreeable to planting additional trees. Dahl indicated he is agreeable to working with Staff on that issue. Flint stated he would be agreeable to going with six -foot trees due to the cost, with at least half of the trees being evergreens. Flint noted there is a significant difference in the cost between a six -foot tree and an eight -foot tree. White suggested that the Applicant plant trees that are more salt tolerant. Weinberger stated the distance from the north property line to the driveway is approximately 300 feet. • Flint stated based on that distance, an additional 35 trees may be needed. Flint noted there is no berm along the north side, with the trees tending to break up the building somewhat. Moorse inquired whether the Council would like the trees to be continuous along that area. Weinberger stated there would be eight trees planted on top of the berm and eight trees alongside the berm, which is approximately 125 feet. Flint recommended the trees be planted every 15 feet. Moorse stated the top priority is to screen the outside storage, with the other priority being to help screen the building. Flint moved, White seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4692, a Resolution approving a conditional use permit to permit partial use of Lot 3, Block 1, for outside storage use at the property located at 450 Old Crystal Bay Road North, subject to language being included in the resolution requiring parking of the trucks being limited to the east side of the building, and an additional requirement that 51 trees be planted along the west side of the property, with a planting plan being submitted subject to review and approval by City Staff, with at least half evergreens and the remainder hardwood trees, with the evergreen trees being six feet in height.
