MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 10, 1997 <br />• ( #5 - #2310 Dick Bury, Classic Car Sales - Continued) <br />area that he had intended for shed storage could be used for cars. Katainen feels the <br />business would fit the category of permitted uses. He noted persons interested in the <br />other allowed uses could not afford the building. He feels the business would be a classy <br />operation and generate little traffic. Jabbour responded that he felt the Planning <br />Commission did not understand the parking situation for the property. <br />Goetten asked what the parking requirements are for the property. <br />Van Zomeren reported there are 9 striped spaces across the lot. The typical parking <br />space is 9'x18' and more would be available. <br />Bury thought there was space for 15 parking stalls to the side. There is room for 10 in <br />front but he does not plan on any in that location. He would keep 2 or 3 cars in front <br />during the day for display purposes and would want to maintain the grassed areas. In the <br />winter time, all of the cars would be stored inside. <br />Jabbour said he stands corrected on parking. He noted the applicant would be required <br />to maintain the required amount of parking spaces. <br />Peterson agreed but when looking at the property, she noted that it was set up to be <br />. conducive to cars being parked to the side. <br />Jabbour said it would still have to be considered a used car lot. <br />Goetten suggested a percentage of classic cars be specified. She felt the business would <br />be a good opportunity for the community. <br />Bury suggested he be limited to no more than two times the amount of cars inside than <br />outside. <br />Jabbour suggested a total of 4 cars outside. <br />Kelley saw the question needing answering is whether Orono wants a used car lot in the <br />City. If so, where is the best place. He feels this would be the best location. He <br />acknowledged Bury's good intentions but is concerned if the business is sold in the <br />future. <br />Goetten suggested'the possibility of placing conditions on the application that <br />differentiate this business from other used car lots. <br />Jabbour asked Barrett if the City could mandate the business be a certain percentage of <br />• classic cars. Barrett said a description could be included and made a requirement. <br />13 <br />
