MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 17 -01 1987 <br />ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - <br />PARRING LOT USE IN RESIDENTIAL ZONE <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained the impetus for <br />the parking lot use in a residential zone amendment <br />resulted from an earlier request by the prospective <br />buyer of 1950 Shoreline Drive (Robie Wayne property) <br />seeking a parking lot use in place of the existing 4 <br />unit residential use. The legal staff has advised that <br />the current code would have to be amended as a parking <br />lot use was not permitted in residential zones. In <br />consideration of the two alternative courses of action, <br />Planning Commission unanimously decided against rezoning <br />and chose to allow the use as a conditional use permit <br />subject to special limitation on the use. He explained <br />that because this must be a general amendment to the <br />code that would apply throughout the residential zone <br />districts, it is difficult to separate the merits of <br />this particular proposal on Shoreline Drive from other <br />residential areas. <br />Public Comments- <br />Art Tourangeau, 2060 Spates Ave - stated that the Wayne <br />property has been continually deteriorating in addition <br />to constant nuisance problems and because of this, he <br />is in favor of a parking lot on that property with <br />proper landscaping and restrictions. <br />Dan Crear, 1980 Spates Ave - stated he is in favor of <br />changing that area subject to careful control by the <br />City. If a parking lot were approved, his concerns <br />would be winter use, loitering and noise control. <br />Mary Crear, 1980 Spates Ave <br />lighting and the amount of <br />noted that she believed there <br />hazards on the property. <br />important concern of the emp <br />Tonka Transmission property. <br />- stated her concerns were <br />hardcover proposed.

He also <br />felt that an entire comprehensive site plan should be <br />submitted in order to avoid speculative uses of the <br />properties involved. He felt this was necessary before <br />considering this amendment. <br />Charlie Stone and Woody Love, representatives of Smith's <br />Bay Marina /Sailors World, were present for this matter. <br />Mr. Love explained the need for an overflow parking lot <br />to accomodate a first class operation.
