During the <br /> transition seasons (April I S to May 31 and September 16 to November 15), adequate <br /> parking shall be maintained on the site, sufficient to eliminate traffic or parking <br /> congestion; but in no case shall parking be reduced to less than 20 percent of the <br /> required spaces. <br /> (7) Parking may not be allowed in any required yard or landscaping area. <br /> (8) Employee parking spaces shall be in addition to the parking spaces required in <br /> subsections (1)—(7) of this section. The number of employee parking spaces shall be <br /> designated on an o�cial parking plan to be kept on file with the city. <br /> (9) Where these minimum parking requirements prove to be inadequate for a given use, <br /> additional parking may be required in order to continue that use. <br /> The basic parking requirement of six stalls for each 10 slips assumes no more than 60% of boats <br /> being used at a given time, one car per boat. This standard has been in effect since creation of <br /> the B-2 District(January 1, 1968)when the average pleasure boat stored at Orono's marinas was <br /> significantly smaller than today. With today's variety of large boats holding many passengers, <br /> there is a potential for inadequate parking at busy times, if passengers for a single boat arrive in <br /> separate vehicles. This may be exacerbated by a boat club if back-to-back uses result in the need <br /> for parking overlap, or if boat club members and their guests arrive in multiple vehicles. Because <br /> our marinas are all on busy County roads, nearby street parking is extremely limited and is to be <br /> avoided. � <br /> Demonstration of parking adequacy for a boat club on the property should include a detailed <br /> written description of how the overall site is used, how the boat club operates, hours of <br />
