� NIINiJTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMIVIISSION MEETING . <br /> Monday,March 19,2012 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> themselves from potential prosecution or penalty as a result of their generosity. Boies stated he does not <br /> cause parking problems because they live next door and that they work out their differences between <br /> themselves. <br /> Boies stated failure to_include such language would cause him to have to go out and buy an annual <br /> oversized load permit so he can get his boat to the lake whenever he wants to use it. That could � � <br /> �potentially cause a road hazard between his home and the North Arm Landing where he takes my boat. <br /> -Boies requested the Planning Commission consider neighbors and family in whatever language they put <br /> . into the zoning amendment. <br /> Denny Walsh, 1354 Rest Point Circle, stated in his view now is a good time to simplify things and to look <br /> at the overall goal of what it is the City wants to accomplish. The City needs to determine whether they <br /> should include neighbors and relatives. Walsh commented there is a problem defining exactly what is <br /> family or friend and that nobody wants people walking through their yard to access the lake. People want <br /> privacy. Walsh stated renting a dock slip out is a different issue than allowing someone to use their dock <br /> periodically. .. <br /> Rich Anderson, 3205 Crysta] Bay Road,stated he is the owner and operator of North Shore Marina <br /> located in Brown's Bay, Smith's Bay and Maxwell Bay. Anderson indicated he has also owned the � <br /> Woodwind Marina and Sailor's World. Anderson noted he did attend the last meeting and that the � <br /> Planning Commission at that time voted 6-0 to adopt the language that was proposed. Anderson stated <br /> none of the stakeholders were notified of that meeting and there was only one resident in attendance who <br /> spoke at the meeting. <br /> Gaffron noted that would have been the May,2011,meeting, and that notice of the meeting was published <br /> in the local paper and posted locally. <br /> Anderson commented it was interesting that the one person who knew about the public hearing happens <br /> to live in the neighborhood of one of the most vocal council members wanting to change this law. <br /> Anderson stated the Planning Commission should enact language so the City can enforce the law because <br /> currently on his road they have had three people renting there last year and they still live there. The City <br /> cannot enforce the law if the properly owners are not receiving any rent. <br /> Anderson commented this would impact his family's livelihood and that he employs Orono residents and <br /> pays taxes. Anderson stated if a resident wants to have a spot for his daughter or son,that would not be a <br /> problem, but that if that property owner wants to rent a boat slip to a friend,he would have a problem <br /> with that. The property owners should apply for a variance or a permit if they want to rent a boat slip <br /> from a neighbor or another private property owner. <br /> Orono has approximately 1,000 lakeshore owners. The marinas occasionally will have people who drink <br /> too much or something else and the marinas are in a situation to be able to call the police. That would , <br /> � likely not happen in a residential situation. The marinas are equipped to handle people who are drunk or <br /> need to use the restroom. . <br /> Anderson stated there is a house on his road with 140 feet of lakeshore that could have three 40-foot <br /> boats. There is no place to park on the street. The City should have the ability to shut them down since <br /> the LMCD can't. <br /> Page <br /> 21 <br />
