AVARRE COMMUNITYINITIA VE UPDATE, ontinued) <br /> Ga n indicated that can be added. <br /> M Millan asked if any thought h been given to what s uld be done if a limited number of respo <br /> a e received back. <br /> Gaffron stated the commi e did discuss that issue d that their feeling was to try to li ' the time <br /> required of the various siness owners and to off them the chance to approach the ommunity. If <br /> limited response is re ived, Staff could perhaps ersonally visit each business o er. <br /> Jeanne Englund ated the committee would so be willing to discuss that her and perhaps t <br /> members of th committee could approach e various business owners. <br /> McMillan ommented it would perhaps e helpful if the study wa rovided to the commi e for their <br /> review well as the City Council. , <br /> (Cynthi remer leaves the eeting at 8:18 p.m.) <br /> It was the consensus of the City Cou il to appr the,sending of the letter to the N arr usiness <br /> owners on behalf of the Navarre Comm ' nitiative. <br /> 6. #11-3503 CITY OF ORONO,ZONING CODE TEXT AMENDMENT: DOCK RENTAL <br /> Curtis stated at the May 23,2011, Council meeting, Staff presented a draft ordinance with which Staff <br /> attempted to simplify and clarify the City's rules regarding rental of boat slips on residential property. At <br /> that time Staff was directed to bring the dock rental issue to the Council at a work session for more <br /> discussion. The dock rental ordinance was placed on the Council's September 12`h work session agenda, <br /> but due to a time constraint,the dock rental ordinance was not discussed at that time. <br /> The�City's concerns have historically been land use impacts of residential dock rental on neighbors and <br /> neighborhoods. The LMCD's regulations alone do not appear to address all of the potential impacts from <br /> residential dock renta.l. Staff recently spoke with Staff at the LMCD regarding their dock rental rule and <br /> enforcement. Staff did receive a letter from Rich Anderson today,which has been distributed to the City <br /> Council. <br /> Gaffron stated one of the questions that the Council had raised previously is whether or not the City's <br /> regulation of boat storage at residential docks was a duplication of the LMCD efforts. Staff has had <br /> extensive discussion with the LMCD regarding their codes. The chart before the Council tonight <br /> compares what the LMCD and Orono ordinances require. As an example,a site that has one or two boats, <br /> the LMCD allows two boats with no ownership restriction regardless of the lot size as long as those lots <br /> were created prior to 1978. In that instance,the City has had ownership requirement since 1962. For a <br /> site that has three boats with shoreline less than 126 feet,under the LMCD regulations,they do not <br /> require that any of the boats be owned or registered to the owner of the property;whereas the City has <br /> that requirement. <br /> Gaffron commented there are some differences between what the LMCD requires and what the City <br /> requires. The City has typically been more restrictive with their regulations than the LMCD. <br /> Page 7 of 17 <br />
