MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 21,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3085 Jul Ann Hair Fashions, Continued) <br /> Bremer recommended the agreement be redrafted to include the actual number of parking spaces being <br /> leased by the applicant and that all the language be contained in one signed document. Bremer <br /> suggested language also be included in the agreement that requires the City be notified immediately if <br /> the parking agreement is terminated. Bremer further suggested a provision be included in the lease with <br /> the Oversons stating that Jul Ann's tenancy would expire should the parking agreement be terminated <br /> for some reason. Bremer inquired whether the City is aware of a similar type arrangement anywhere <br /> else within the City. <br /> Gaffron noted there are a couple of shared parking agreements in other parts of the City, such as Culvers <br /> and Synders and the city parking lot located on the north side of Shoreline Drive in Navarre. <br /> Berg questioned if the church and the Freshwater Institute have a shared parking arrangement. <br /> Gaffron indicated he is unsure whether those two parties have a formal written parking agreement. <br /> Harry Kreslins noted parking at their current location is also undefined. <br /> Rahn inquired whether there were any public comments concerning this application. <br /> Beth Kreslie, 3455 Shoreline Drive, stated the parking at this site is a big concern of hers and that the <br /> parking should be better defined. Kreslie inquired whether the agreement covers the upper parking lot <br /> or the lower parking lot. Kreslie noted the landlord is aware of the parking situation. <br /> Gundlach stated the existing three businesses and the five apartments require 30.5 stalls,with the upper <br /> and lower lots providing 28 stalls. Gundlach noted this does not include the parking requirements for <br /> Jul Ann's. Gundlach stated all the parking spaces for Jul Ann's,plus 2.5 additional spaces,would need <br /> to be provided on Keaveny's lot, for a total of 8.5 stalls. <br /> Chair Rahn closed the public hearing. <br /> Rahn stated in his view adding another tenant in this building is over-leasing this building and that the <br /> lower units were probably originally constructed to accommodate storage. Rahn noted the City does not <br /> have any record of tenants being in the lower level even though there have been tenants located in there <br /> in the past. Rahn commented the shared parking agreement might be a dangerous precedent in this <br /> situation. <br /> Harry Kreslins inquired what the objection would be if they meet all the requirements of the City. <br /> Rahn stated typically people are required to meet the code on that subject property. Rahn commented <br /> this is similar to people borrowing hardcover from another property and applying it against this <br /> property. Rahn reiterated his concern that this property is being over-leased by adding another tenant <br /> and is compounding the parking concerns. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
