MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Monday,September 19,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3121 THE NARROWS SALOON,CONTINUED) <br /> Sudheimer indicated there would not be music playing outside. Sudheimer stated the smokers are <br /> currently walking around in the parking lot and that they are proposing to locate them behind this wall. <br /> Leslie stated the point with the folding doors is a genuine concern and suggested that a requirement of the <br /> conditional use permit be that the doors are closed during the times there is live music. <br /> Leslie inquired whether alcohol would be served outside in the outdoor seating area. <br /> Anderst stated customers would be served drinks in that area but that the outside bar has been eliminated. <br /> Leslie indicated he also recalls a 10:00 closing time for the outdoor seating area. <br /> Sudheimer stated it was their understanding of previous discussions that the patio would be closed when <br /> the kitchen closes. Sudheimer stated the kitchen closes at 10:00 p.m. during the week and 11:00 on the <br /> weekends. <br /> Jurgens stated he would be in favor of those hours. <br /> Winkey stated he would prefer to stick to 10:00,even on the weekends. <br /> Sergeant Erickson stated one of the problems experienced in the parking lot is that the city ordinance does <br /> not permit parking from 2:00 a.m.to 5:00 a.m. Erickson indicated this does tend to be a problem because <br /> patrons of the Narrows do leave their vehicles in the parking lot at times. Erickson stated they have <br /> received a number of calls from residents asking that those parking ordinances not be enforced,but that <br /> since it is a city-owned lot,the police department would be enforcing those ordinances. <br /> Sergeant Erickson indicated he does have a concern with glass being served in the outdoor seating area <br /> and that he would recommend all drinks be served in plastic containers. <br /> Sudheimer stated she is planning on having a sign made asking motorcyclists not to park on the sidewalk <br /> and that she would also be willing to erect signs in the parking lot regarding the overnight parking. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the conditional use permit is reviewed by the city annually or whenever there is a <br /> complaint. <br /> Gaffron stated a conditional use permit allows the city to place relevant conditions on the property that <br /> the applicant needs to comply with,but that generally there is not an annual review of the property unless <br /> it is required in the conditional use permit. Gaffron stated the neighbors have the ability to request that <br /> the conditional use permit be reviewed. Gaffron stated if the Planning Commission would like this <br /> reviewed on a regular basis,then that should be included as a condition. <br /> PAGE 11 <br />
