ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 10, 1998 ( #7) 1998 MARINA LICENSES- continued Mayor Jabbour commented that plantings would probably not survive in the 0 -75' zone because of the lakeshore activity. He felt if Dunn provided a fence in the 0 -75' zone and Waade also did some plantings, the burden could be split. Dunn suggested that he and Waade meet again to discuss the options. Jabbour noted the berm was already approved and could still be constructed. Waade requested that Council act on the fence solution since he questioned if an agreement could be reached with Dunn. Waade indicated there may be an issue with dollars spent to address the problems for Dunn. Mayor Jabbour suggested Council act on all the marinas except Lakeside Marina. Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve the 1998 commercial marina licenses for Windward Marina, Genmar/King's Cove, Sailor's World and North Shore Marina. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. is Flint indicated that he would prefer a fence all the way to the lake because there is a history of • difficulty between the property owners. He recommended a 4' fence from the road to the 30' street setback and in the 0 -75' setback zone, and a 6' high fence between those two areas. Kelley expressed concern about the sight lines at the curve in the road if a fence were constructed. Gaffron agreed that there could be a problem. He noted that he has worked with Dunn over the years to keep boats at a low profile to be able to see across the top of the boats in the southeast corner of the marina. Dunn noted that the Metro pump station is located in the area with a blacktop strip up to 100' into the property to serve the pump station. Kelley commented that bringing a fence all the way to the road would, in effect, shelter the marina from the pump station, so the fence could be stopped at the 30' street setback. Flint commented that a 4' fence would not obstruct a great deal of vision. He added that the fence would provide a physical barrier to keep boats from encroaching on the adjacent property. He commented that fences make good neighbors. Gaffron suggested the height of the fence in the 30' setback be left to staffs discretion regarding sight lines for entering and exiting the property. 10 0
