MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 8,1997 <br />0 (#10 - #2314 Hoyt Development - Continued) <br />Jabbour suggested this property and other duplex between the two marinas and Sandy <br />Beach be cleaned up. He said he did not visualize the need to go through a <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Gaffron said any changes to zoning would require <br />amendment of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Flint said he favored option #4 (Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zoning Study) <br />but noted it does not solve the applicant's problem. Hoyt said he was unable to extend <br />their option agreement. Bessesen noted that the proposal was to maintain the same <br />elevation as the other townhomes. <br />Jabbour suggested expanding the district to 250' and adding the B3 and then creating a <br />special district for this property and the other areas noted. Barrett said that would be <br />satisfactory. He questioned what was published for this application. It was noted that <br />the zoning was not changing but amending the district, while not eliminating other <br />districts, which results in the proper notification made. <br />Flint said he would support that asking if the other areas would be considered. Jabbour <br />said it would be done immediately. <br />Gaffron said he would like to have a separate discussion on the goals of the other <br />properties. <br />Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve the Planning Commission <br />recommendation instructing Staff to review the three areas noted to determine what <br />zoning could be used for those locations. <br />Peterson asked for clarification on what is being accomplished. Jabbour said this would <br />extend the duplex credit to 250', adding the B3 zoning, and allowing the project to move <br />forward. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Jabbour moved, Flint seconded, to approve Application #2314 for CUP and variance per <br />the Planning Commission recommendation. <br />Kelley asked about the variance. Van Zomeren clarified that the duplex credit has two <br />criteria. The first is that a lot must have public sanitary sewer and be adjacent to the <br />commercial /industrial district. The second is that the duplex must be constructed within <br />200'. The amendment would not change the 200' limit for construction. The footprint is <br />further than 250' though the property is within 250'. The variance would be for distance <br />and not for use. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />19 <br />
