MINUTES OF THE � <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Feuss pointed out they are now owned by two separate LLCs consisting of one owner. <br /> Kujawa stated they have the same owner. <br /> Feuss stated the City needs some evidence that those 26 stalls are available. <br /> Kujawa indicated the owner is willing to provide that but is currently out of town. Kujawa stated he does <br /> not feel that should be addressed as part of this CUP application and that it should be addressed in the <br /> annual permit application. <br /> In addition,the Marine Max building has five slips. If the building requires 11 spots,the City needs to <br /> give credit for those spots,which creates three additional parking spots. Many of the marinas on the lake <br /> have more parking than necessary. Kujawa indicated that even on the busiest days,the gravel lots by the <br /> two houses are pretty much wide open. <br /> Kujawa stated he needs to move forward with this application and that he would request the Planning <br /> Commission recommend approval on it so he can go before the City Council. Kujawa indicated he has <br /> members signed up,slips that he has purchased, and employees lined up to start work. In his opinion they <br /> have more than adequately met the parking requirements. <br /> Acting Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. <br /> Rich Anderson,North Shore Bay and Maxwell Bay Marina,indicated he is currently in the process of <br /> buying back Sailor's World. This will be the�fth marina that they have owned in Orono. At the time he <br /> originally purchased it, it was all owned by Jim Rivers and parking was not an issue. <br /> � Anderson questioned how a business can be run out of there if that is residential property. Anderson <br /> asked if the white house is also residential. <br /> Gaffron indicated both houses are zoned residential. <br /> Anderson stated when the property was purchased from him by MG Kaminski,no parking easement was <br /> in place between the two entities and the marina. Anderson indicated they did not rent out any of those <br /> buildings when they owned the place and they ran it strictly as a marina with a sales office. Now the <br /> current owner is trying to rent it out to a boat club,which does not make sense. <br /> Feuss stated to her understanding the use of the residential properties is not part of this application <br /> tonight. <br /> Gaffron stated the application specifically states that while an employee of the boat club or some other <br /> person may use that residential property,they cannot operate a business out of there and they cannot have <br /> signage. The only commercial use the City has ever allowed in that area is parking. <br /> Feuss reiterated that it is her understanding that issue is not before the Planning Commission and would <br /> have to be part of a separate application. <br /> Anderson noted Marine Max rents out the entire building and that last year the boat club operated its <br /> business out of a pickup with a camper on the back. <br /> Page 6 <br />
