MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,October 20,2008 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#08-3381 BARRY TANNER,3435 SHORELINE DRIVE,CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, <br /> CONTINUED) <br /> Tanner indicated he is in agreement with basically everything recited by Planner Turner but that there <br /> are a few minor clarifications he would like to make. Under recommendation number two,video games <br /> and pool tables,Tanner pointed out that there are actually ten bowling lanes rather than six. Tanner <br /> asked why he is limited to three amusement devices. <br /> Turner stated if there were over three amusement devices,it would be considered an amusement arcade <br /> and he would need to have his conditional use pernut amended to a bowling center and amusement <br /> arcade. <br /> Kempf stated if the applicant is interesting in having more than three amusement devices,it would be <br /> necessary for him to request his conditional use permit be amended. <br /> Kroeger asked if it would be safe to assume that the amusement devices would attract a younger <br /> clientele. <br /> Turner commented she is not sure whether three amusement devices would attract a substantial number <br /> of younger people. <br /> Tanner stated he had not determined an exact number of amusement devices,but that he had figured that <br /> he might have room for six such devices. Tanner stated he would be fine with three amusement devices <br /> if a higher number resulted in his application being delayed. <br /> Tanner illustrated the proposed signage for the bowling center and noted that the signage he would <br /> prefer would be 40 square feet. Tanner requested that he be allowed a bigger sign than 20 square feet, <br /> and noted that the building is over 100 feet long and that the purpose of this sign is to denote the <br /> entrance. <br /> Turner stated the 20 square feet listed in Staff's report was not intended to be the only sign allowed and <br /> that the applicant may choose to have more than one sign. Turner commented that the size of the <br /> proposed sign does not appear to be too obtrusive. <br /> Kempf asked if there is a sign located on Kelly. <br /> Tanner stated the sign that is currently on Kelly is located in the trees and would be removed. Tanner <br /> displayed a pole sign that he would like to erect on Shoreline Drive. <br /> Berg asked if there is a sign currently located along Kelly behind the building denoting where to turn to <br /> access the parking lot. <br /> Tanner stated there is a pole sign located there but that it would need to be removed since it is not legal <br /> because it is located in the right-of-way. <br /> Turner stated they would be allowed a sign on Kelly Avenue and that it is likely it would need to be a <br /> monument sign. <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
