ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 10, 1998 ( #7) 1998 MARINA LICENSES- continued Gaffron commented that a complaint had been received against Lakeside Marina regarding the use of the adjacent property as overflow for customers of the marina; i.e. walking dogs, parking cars, working on boats, etc. A second complaint related to site lighting needs to be addressed. Gaffron indicated that the neighbor has suggested a fence could solve some of the trespassing problems. Gaffron noted that a fence would be allowed in the B -2 district, but is not specifically allowed in the 0 -75' zone without Council approval. Fence height is limited to 6' along the lot line and 3% in the 30' front yard setback. Gaffron asked Council to consider the following: Whether a fence should be allowed along the east lot line to prohibit trespassers and/or provide screening, and at what height. Completion of a landscape plan that has been in the process for 15 -20 years. The marina owner has indicated he is willing to complete the landscape plan. Lighting should be relocated, redirected or shielded so that it does not affect the 0 adjacent property. Because of the layout of the marina and docks, boat traffic encroaches the dock use is area of the adjacent property. The LMCD has been contacted and should follow -up on this complaint. Jim Dunn, owner of Lakeside Marina, stated that staff comments were accurate. He did not agree with all of the neighbor's issues. Mayor Jabbour asked about the berm that was proposed with the Waade subdivision application. Waade responded that he and Dunn were unable to agree and he suggested a fence, possibly 8' high. Waade indicated his major concern was trespassing from the marina. He stated he was willing to put a fence and screening on his property but also wanted the marina to do the same thing to control trespassing. Dunn agreed that construction of a fence could be included as a condition of the marina license. Waade asked to see plans of the proposed fence. He also noted concern with parking of boats at his property line, since they are required to be 10' off the property line. Kelley asked if Waade and Dunn agree on the property line. Waade responded that he has a survey on record at the City. Kelley suggested that surveys of both the marina and Waade property be compared so that both parties agree on the property line and no work is done in the wrong location. • 8
