MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,January 17,2006 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#06-3173 INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT ZONING STANDARDS, CONTINUED) <br /> Leslie stated one of the specific specifications for storage is unlicensed vehicles. <br /> Johnson stated he does not understand the intent of the difference between licensed and unlicensed <br /> vehicles and that whether they are licensed or not makes no difference on their storage. Johnson inquired <br /> what the intent of the language is. <br /> Leslie stated he interprets that language to give more leeway to storage rather than customer parking. <br /> Johnson stated in a residential context, an unlicensed vehicle is something different than in a commercial <br /> setting. Johnson stated these are brand-new cars and that their current conditional use permit does not <br /> distinguish those stored vehicles based on whether they are licensed or unlicensed. <br /> Bremer commented in the case of Morrie's,it is the starage of inventory. <br /> Leslie inquired whether Morrie's owns the vehicles. <br /> Wagener stated they are responsible to receive all leased vehicles and are required to store them for a <br /> short period. Wagener stated because of parking constraints they are stored for approximately two weeks <br /> at their Orono facility. Wagener indicated the vendor owns all of the leased vehicles and the company <br /> owns all of the new vehicles. <br /> Leslie stated the intent is clear but the language is not exact. <br /> Grittman stated he feels that situation can be addressed in the ordinance. <br /> Wagener stated there are interim occasions where they do store some licensed vehicles. <br /> Grittman stated as part of the next step they plan to recap the comments received tonight for the City <br /> Council at their next meeting. <br /> Gaffron stated the notice went to all of the property owners within 350 feet but that some notices had the <br /> public hearing set for 8:00. <br /> Bremer stated she would announce this application again at 8:00 to see if there are any additional public <br /> comments. <br /> Leslie moved,Kempf seconded,to direct Staff to forward Application#06-3173, City of Orono, <br /> Industrial District Zoning Standards Ordinance Amendment,to the City Council with the changes <br /> discussed tonight being incorporated into the amendment. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Gaffron stated this application would be heard at the January 23rd Council meeting. <br /> PAGE 10 <br />
