ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 8, 1999 • ( #2537 Adult Use Ordinance, Continued) There were no public comments regarding this proposed ordinance. Daniel Kluth, Planning Commission, commented that the Planning Commission has looked at other ordinances and cases involving adult uses in an effort to limit the skid -row or blight affect that these businesses can create.
