MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,November 21,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Seeland stated as it relates to the fence,they would prefer a decorative fence along the front with some <br /> landscaping. As it relates to the height of the stored items, some of their customers will be storing RV's, <br /> which are rather tall, as well as the rental trucks,and those items will be higher than the fence. <br /> Gozola stated he would look at that as more of a parking use than outdoor storage: The applicant can <br /> currently have larger vehicles parked on the site and would not change with the new CUP. Gozola noted <br /> Staff would have an issue with parking of trailers with goods of them on the site. <br /> Landgraver noted there is a requirement that all outdoor storage be on wheels. Landgraver asked whether <br /> the rental fleet would be stored more towards the front. <br /> Pat McCann stated the truck rental business will have a dedicated spot towards the front of the building <br /> where they will be dropped off and then the trucks will be moved towards the rear once the office is open. <br /> The goal is to try to have everything within the fence line at all times but there will be some transient <br /> traffic as people return the trucks. <br /> Seeland stated there will be a short period of time that it will be parked out front if the truck is returned on <br /> a Sunday. <br /> Landgraver noted lighting will be added in the rear,but that there does not appear to be any lighting <br /> depicted on the plan. <br /> McCann stated there is lighting in that area depicted on the lighting plan but it did not get transferred over <br /> to the layout depicted on the overhead. <br /> Levang asked how many RV's are anticipated to be stored on the site. <br /> Seeland stated there are 38 spaces in the back area and that it is a market driven need. <br /> McCann pointed out they did create a 30-foot aisleway,which would accommodate an RV and would <br /> limit the number of RVs that they would be able to accommodate on the site. Tractor trailers would need <br /> to be handled on an individual basis and would need to be backed in. <br /> Seeland stated they do not anticipate storage of tractor trailers. <br /> Gaffron asked where the boat storage would be. <br /> McCann stated they would be in this area right here. They will be able to store 20 to 30-foot boats. <br /> Gaffron commented that one of the benefits of having an outdoor storage facility is that the boats <br /> currently stored in residential areas will be able to be relocated to this facility. <br /> McCann stated the 7-foot fence with barbed wire will prevent people from jumping over the fence. It is <br /> important for security reasons that the police department are able to see inside. They do provide the <br /> police deparhnent and fire department with their own code to the lock box so they can access the site if <br /> need be. , <br /> Page 7 <br />
