• MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 21,2011 <br /> r <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Schwingler stated in theory the Planning Commission could require 1.5 parking stalls on this application. <br /> Schwingler noted Sailors World has not contracted for those 25 offsite parlcing sites for the last 10 years <br /> and it has not come up as an issue. Schwingler commented they could require a 1.5 parking requirement. <br /> Feuss asked why they would want to do that since they do not require that standard of anybody at the <br /> current time. <br /> Schwingler indicated he was speaking theoretically and that they could establish whatever parking ratio <br /> they felt was adequate. � <br /> Anderson commented it has to be a level playing field and that he is the only marina who can provide 25 <br /> offsite parking stalls. Anderson indicated he is agreement that it should be the same standard for all <br /> marinas. Anderson stated there should be no double standards for parking requirements,no double <br /> standards for green areas, or anything else. <br /> Feuss moved,Schwingler seconded,to recommend denial�of Application#11-3501,Luke Kujawa on <br /> behalf of MG Kaminski, 1444 Shoreline Drive, and recommend that the applicant submit further <br /> evidence to Staff to demonstrate that the combined use of the marina and boat club will comply <br /> with Section 78-668,which are the current regulations that are in effect and were in effect at the <br /> time the applicant made his application for the conditional use, and if Staff is satisfied that the <br /> objective requirements are met and adequate parking is available for the site,the conditional use <br /> can be granted based upon approval by the City Council. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 1,Thiesse opposed. <br /> 3. #11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,ZOl�TING CODE AMENDMENT,REGULATION OF <br /> BOAT CLUBS,7:48 P.M.-8:28 P.M. <br /> Gaffron stated at the February Planning Commission meeting, a number of questions and concerns were <br /> raised that resulted in tabling of the proposed amendment. The Planning Commission noted that the term <br /> "boat club" is not clearly defined in the Code,but needs to be carefully defined given the variety of <br /> boating options available today. Commissioners questioned the need for parking standards for the boat <br /> club use and requested Staff to more clearly define the problem,to identify the objective the City would <br /> like to achieve, and to outline the options for achieving that objective. In addition,the Planning <br /> Commission suggested that other allowable uses within the B-2 District should be considered in terms of <br /> their impacts on parking. <br /> While the Zoning Code does not specifically define"boat club,"the entry within the Conditional Use <br /> section of the B-2 standards does specify that this term refers to "time share" situations. As noted in last <br /> month's discussion,during the Planning Commission's 1994 review of the B-2 Code,the concept of boat <br /> club was informally defined as a situation in which there are multiple persons sharing in the use of a <br /> single boat. � <br /> It has been suggested that a boat club structured on a person purchasing the right to share in the use of a <br /> variety of different boats owned by a single entity is nothing more than a formalized method of boat <br /> rental,which is an allowed accessory use in the B-2 District. `The zoning code does not define boat rental. <br /> To differentiate between a boat club and boat rental, Staff would suggest that in its most classic form, <br /> boat rental might be considered as a one-time transaction between a boat owner and a boat user for a <br /> Page � <br /> 14 <br />
