ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING • <br />MINUTES FOR MAY 24, 1999 <br />(Mayor /Council Report, Continued) <br />Flint noted that the general public has an opportunity to speak to an application at the Planning <br />Commission level. <br />Mayor Jabbour suggested that perhaps a line could be added to the Zoning Administrator's <br />report indicating if there are any concerns by the neighbors. <br />Kelley inquired whether the City Council should make a decision on the applicants for the <br />Planning Commission vacancy. <br />Moorse indicated that there was one more candidate that indicated a desire to be interviewed. <br />Kelley noted that the candidate had two opportunities to appear and has not done so. <br />It was the consensus of the City Council that they were in support of Daniel Kluth and <br />Jay Nygaard. <br />Peterson moved, Kelley seconded, to appoint Jay Nygaard and Daniel Kluth to the <br />Planning Commission, effective immediately, and to direct City Staff to send a letter <br />to all the applicants thanking them for their interest. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. • <br />Kelley suggested that the two new appointees be invited to meet with City Staff to familiarize <br />themselves with Orono's Comprehensive Plan and the City's Ordinances. <br />Kelley requested that the City Administrator look at the possibility of hiring a fire marshal for <br />the City of Orono rather than contract one out. <br />Kelley requested that he be notified of the Fire Commission meetings when the new fire station <br />will be discussed. <br />Peterson indicated that she would be willing to be an alternate. <br />Flint stated that he has been contacted by Shingobee Builders who have indicated that there is a <br />potential buyer for the church property in Navarre, but that they have concerns regarding the <br />limited parking. Flint suggested that perhaps the municipal parking lot could be utilized on <br />Sunday to accommodate the parking on Sunday. Flint stated that a meeting is scheduled for <br />Tuesday at 9:00 a.m., to discuss this site and questioned whether someone from City Staff could <br />attend that meeting as well. <br />Gaffron stated that there are building code issues that would need to be addressed before the <br />building could be occupied. Gaffron commented that utilizing the municipal parking lot on the <br />weekends would not pose a problem. <br />Flint commented that in his view it would be a mistake to wait until an application is submitted • <br />before meeting with the prospective developer. <br />20 <br />
