MINUTES OF TAE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> sales and service functions. <br /> 3. Employee parlcing spaces shall be in addition to the parking spaces required in subsections 1-7 of <br /> this section. The number of employees parking spaces shall be designated on an official <br /> parking plan to be kept on file with the City. <br /> 4. Where these minimum parking requirements prove to be inadequate for a given use, additional <br /> Parking may be required in order to continue that use. <br /> The Planning Commission viewed the layout of the marina and boat slips on the overhead. <br /> The applicant has indicated that an additional eight stalls are available in the triangular area on the <br /> Browns Bay side of CR 15 just north of the gazebo. The City has never recognized this area as usable <br /> parking. It was previously allowed only for temporary boat storage and was required to be separated from <br /> CR 15 by wood posts with a rope barrier. <br /> Feuss noted on the side of Taniger Lake,there are 26 parldng stalls that are apparently part of a residential <br /> area and 21 that are part of the business. Feuss noted that currently there is no evidence before the <br /> Planning Commission that the residential sites are part of the business. <br /> Gaffron indicated the City lrnows of no evidence other than the historical use of those residential lots for <br /> parking. <br /> Feuss stated if those residential parking stalls are not considered,the marina would be short 26 spaces. <br /> Gaffron stated if that were the case, Staff would have a huge issue with that. ' , <br /> Feuss indicated unless there is some evidence that those spaces are available to the marina, she has an <br /> issue with the application and that the existing use is not compliant. <br /> Gaffron commented that the City has become aware that those two lots have come under separate <br /> ownership. Gaffron stated a parking agreement or an easement or combining the two properties under <br /> one property would all be options. <br /> � Schwingler asked if the City lrnows when those two residential lots came under di�ferent ownership. <br /> Gaffron indicated Staff would be able to find out that exact information but that it was approximately <br /> three years ago. � � <br /> Kujawa indicated that is correct. Kujawa noted those two residential lots are still owned by the same � � <br /> person but they consist of two LLCs. Kujawa indicated he has been informed recently that there is a <br /> parking easement over those two lots. <br /> Gaffron stated Staff will need a copy of that easement. Gaffron noted the current code does not specify <br /> the number of stalls required for the boat club use and merely says that the applicant needs to prove to the <br /> City that the parking is adequate. From Staff s perspective, absent a numerical incremental code standard <br /> for required parking for boat clubs,the current parking is short by one to two stalls for just the marina use <br /> as it stands today. <br /> Page 3 <br />
