MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 27,1997 (#4 - #2195 Genmar Industries - Continued) .. Jabbour noted the number of marinas that would be interested in purchasing this property. If that scenario was to occur, Jabbour felt there would once again be maintenance of boats occurring on the property. He felt this proposal by the applicant paralleled more the goals of the City. He is concerned with applying the code consistently. Peterson questioned if the application was denied and the facility became used for maintenance, where the cars and boats would be parked. It was felt that a violation of the ordinance would most likely occur. Gaffron noted the problem with enforcement as occurs in other marinas. Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3835 with the modification to allow winter hours and use in the winter. The summer use would be limited to 4 or less boats displayed out of the water in the green space to the maximum of the square footage of the existing footprint. Applicant is to maintain the green space as green. Gaffron clarified changes to the resolution as drafted: Item 2B on page 12 will show the addition of "1 for 1 tree replacement'; 5g will be eliminated, 5h will stated to "not exceed 4 boats and maintain boat display within building footprint ", 5i will remain; 51 will be reconfigured. Gaffron said the code allows for winter and summer site plans, 80% for storage to include sales. The resolution currently notes a summer plan only. • Jabbour and Goetten amended their motion to include the preceding paragraph. Kelley noted his concern whether an environmental statement was completed in 1986... It was determined that the building will be inspected when the excavation occurs. Melby said they would scoop out the old building. It was reported that the old concrete, foundation and basement would require removal. The work would begin as soon as the permits were granted and weather permits. The Council informed Gaffron that they were satisfied with the bathroom facilities as proposed as well as maintaining the satellite toilets and proposed screening. Jabbour said it would be up to the applicant regarding the method of boat head pump out but it must be provided at all times. He did not believe a portable pump would handle the amount stored in the larger boats. If a dedicated spot is required, McConnell said it would occur in the boat well area. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 1, Peterson. �J
