MIl�TUTES OF THE � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,March 17,2008 <br /> . 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#08-3351 Barry Tanner,Continued) <br /> could be taken to reduce the noise. Kempf stated as it relates to hours of operation,in his opinion 10 � <br /> p.m. should be the latest dui-ing the week and midnight on the weekends or perhaps 11 p.m. � <br /> Kroeger noted the application tonight deals with including bowling alleys in the B-1 district rather <br /> than the specifics for this property. Kroeger asked whether the Planning Commission should address <br /> the parking and those types of concerns at this time. ' <br /> Gaffron indicated those items would be part of a different application. <br /> Gaffron noted if the applicant elects to reopen the bowling center,he would need to come back with a <br /> request for a conditional use permit and perhaps a liquor license. At that time the Planning <br /> Commission could make the conditional use permit subject to a number of specific conditions. Any <br /> additional uses would require the property owner to come back and ask for the conditional use permit . � <br /> to be amended. <br /> Gaffron noted the City's Code does not recognize the types of recreational facilities that currently exist <br /> and that it may make sense for the Planning Commission to address all types of recreational facilities <br /> that are popular today rather than just bowling centers. <br /> Zullo asked if the City has any guidelines that require food to be served if liquor is available. <br /> Gaffron indicated that is part of the liquor license application and would be a separate issue. <br /> Kroeger stated in his opinion the Planning Commission should act on a broader category of uses rather <br /> than specifically bowling centers. Kempf indicated he would be in favor of recreational centers in <br /> Orono,particularly in Navarre where it is more heavily populated. <br /> Turner stated recreational centers typically are where people would congregate rather than going there <br /> and purchasing something. , <br /> Kroeger moved to recommend approval of Application#08-3351,Barry Tanner,Zoning Code <br /> Amendment—Section 78-644,Bowling Alleys in the B-1 Zoning District,called commercial <br /> recreation that would include the uses listed in cinemas,theatres, athletic clubs,amusement <br /> arcades,golf driving ranges,billiard halls,tennis centers, and volleyball courts. <br /> Kang asked whether the liquor license would restrict the hours that liquor is served. <br /> Gaffron stated it is doubtful that the license would restrict the sale of liquor to certain hours. Gaffron <br /> stated the Council can limit the hours of operation but that he does not think the Council could limit � <br /> the hours that liquor is served. <br /> Kroeger asked if food should be addressed along with alcohol. <br /> Gaffron stated in his view the liquor license is a separate portion and that these issues should be <br /> addressed by the City Attorney. <br /> � PAGE 12 <br />
