MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday, February 22,2011 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666, CONTINUED) <br /> Thiesse commented he was not aware there was downtime between the morning and afternoon usage, <br /> which does help alleviate some of the parking issues. Thiesse stated he would prefer Staff put together a <br /> conditional use permit that outlines the operation of each individual business and then require an annual <br /> review. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the ratio for the boat club does not appear excessive. Schoenzeit recommended the City <br /> continue to have an annual review process regardless of what route they chooses to take. <br /> Schoenzeit commented that they have heard a lot of,it's not broken, don't fix it,but that in his view <br /> further discussion of the parking issue is appropriate. Schoenzeit stated he appreciates the input of the <br /> boat club owners. <br /> Leskinen commented the input of the boat club owners has been valuable and that she is in agreement <br /> with the other commissioners that there does not seem to be a clearly defined problem that needs to be <br /> fixed. <br /> Kang commented it appears that the Planning Commission and Staff needs to think about future parking <br /> issues that could arise and to clearly define those. � <br /> Kang moved,Feuss seconded,to table Application#11-3500, City of Orono,Amend City Code <br /> Section 78-666,Boat Club Conditional use Permit. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Gaffron asked whether the Planning Commission would like any specific additional information <br /> provided. <br /> Feuss stated she would like to see a clearly defined goal that the City would like to achieve and have Staff <br /> outline the options the City could take to achieve that goal. <br /> Kang indicated she would like to have the definition of boat clubs better defined and the pros and cons of <br /> accessory uses outlined. <br /> Schoenzeit noted the City already has some control over the parking with the annual review and that they <br /> could require the marinas and/or boat clubs at that time to take some steps to resolve a parking problem if <br /> one occurs. <br /> Kang stated perhaps one solution would be to have the marinas provide a parking plan for the entire year <br /> or for the 4�'of July. <br /> Feuss stated she would like to see the problem that they are attempting to fix be more clearly defined. <br /> Gaffron noted the City does have an annual licensing process,which has not been followed thoroughly in <br /> the past but could be reviewed by Staff to see whether that would be a viable option. <br /> Lesldnen asked whether there is a way to deal with this within the conditional use permit process if the <br /> permit process is nof a good option. <br /> Page ' <br /> 16 <br />
