MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron indicated that is zoned B-2 commercial and that the portion of the property on the west side of <br /> the road is zoned residential. <br /> Leskinen asked if the wedge parcel is part of those residential properties. <br /> Gaffron indicated it is. <br /> � <br /> Feuss noted if it is sold,there would need to be a separate agreement to allow parking. <br /> Gaffron stated if there is no agreement currently in place and the properties are eventually sold and the <br /> new owner does not wish to allow parking for the marina,that would cause an issue. Gaffron stated the <br /> two houses were zoned residential because the City did not want those two parcels to become part of the <br /> marina at some point. <br /> Gaffron noted the City last year had the boat club signage removed from the residential properties,which <br /> raises the question of whether the boat club needs an actual land-based office to operate out of. Gaffron <br /> indicated it is the City's understanding that Marine Max is not subleasing a portion of the building to <br /> anyone else and that Marine Max is a tenant of MG Kaminski. Gaffron stated whether Kujawa will have <br /> a defined space other than slips is unlrnown. � <br /> Leskinen stated it was her understanding the boat club was run out of the marina and not as a separate <br /> entity,which may not be the case. If it is a separate entity being run out of one of the residential <br /> properties,that raises a whole different issue. <br /> Gaffron asked if the applicant needs a space to operate out of and what space that would be. <br /> Leskinen stated if the boat club has employees,they would need to report to work somewhere. <br /> Kujawa indicated they would basically report to the dock. The house they rented last year was basically <br /> used to store his fishing equipment. Kujawa indicated they do not need a retail operation since they do <br /> not sell anything. There is the possibility that on some evenings they would have people come down to <br /> the gazebo to view the boats. Kujawa indicated he has recently spoken with Marine Max to see if they <br /> could sublease an of�ce in the building if physical space is required and they were told that is an option. <br /> The employees typically meet the members at their car and escort them down to the boat. <br /> Feuss asked how the boats are serviced and maintained. <br /> Kujawa indicated the boats are maintained at one of their off-site locations. <br /> Feuss asked what the employee shifts would be. <br /> Kujawa indicated that would vary but that typically there is one person on site from 8 a.m.until sunset. <br /> They do try to double up employees on the weekends during the busy times. There is no need for a retail <br /> facility or retail office. <br /> Feuss asked if the employees are hourly. <br /> Page 9 <br />
