MINUTES OF REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 24,1988 #1335 WOODHILL.COUNTRY CLUB 200 WOODHILL ROAD CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RESOLUTION 12529 Mr. John Winston was present as a representative of Woodhill Country Club. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this was an application for a maintenance shed that will require a conditional use permit and a variance for an accessory structure in excess of 1,000 s.f. The setbacks and height requirement necessary for a conditional use permit will be met. The structure will require a 9,800 s.f. area variance. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of this application. There were concerns previously expressed by Mr. Fox and the- Peseks. Mr. Winston showed the Council and Mayor Grabek a drawing depicting the proposed maintenance shed. He said the only remaining concern was that of the Peseks. They were concerned about the shed interfering with their view. Councilmember Goetten asked where the storage shed would be located in respect to the Pesek home. Mr. Winston showed those locations to the Council. Mr. Fox indicated that noise was a problem more than sight. He was hopeful that there could be a berm, using the dirt removed • from the site. He did not know if that was a feasible solution to the problem. Mr. Winston added that the berm had not been investigated, but a separate conditional use permit would be required if they were to put in a berm. Mr. Fox went on to say that the Country Club had been very accomodating in trying to take his concerns into consideration. However, he wanted his concern about noise to be on record with the City in the event any problems arise in the future. Mayor Grabek inquired as to whether the Resolution could be amended to include language that would address Mr. Fox's-concerns about noise? Zoning Administrator Mabusth advised that the code does provide for the reopening of conditional use permits when affected neighbors petition the City and that the resolution could'be amended to specifically address the noise factor. Mr. Winston reminded the Mayor and Council that the Country Club currently has a maintenance shed that is not far from the proposed location of the new facility. Mr. Thomas Markle, Vice - President of Woodhill Country Club, explained that the portion of the maintenance shed from where the most noise would be generated was placed the farthest from the neighboring properties. The end of the shed that would be near Woodhill Avenue, would only be used for dead storage. Mabusth interjected that the shed would be positioned in the hillside, providing more of a barrier to adjacent residences to the south and west. Councilmember Nettles questioned whether it would be more • 7
