MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 13, 1996 • ( #12) LORD FLETCHERS REQUEST FOR USE OF PUBLIC PARKING LOT Moorse reported that the request is to allow Lord Fletchers to use a portion of the public parking lot in Navarre for use by their employees on weekends during the summer months. Shuttle buses will be used to transport the employees between the restaurant and parking lot. Moorse said problems that occurred last year have been worked out. The request is similar to that of last year with a number of conditions attached. Lord Fletchers' representatives said they agree to those conditions. • Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to authorize Lord Fletchers to use the public parking lot in Navarre with conditions #1 -8 as listed. Jabbour asked and received no comments from those in attendance at the meeting. He also noted that he spoke with a person who had concerns over the use last year and was told those problems were worked out. Jabbour asked that the distinction be made why Lord Fletchers would be allowed to use the parking lot and not Jack Smith. It was noted that Lord Fletchers has signs posted for patron parking and use of the lot by employees only is a good solution. It was also noted that, because it is a public lot, it could be used by Lord Fletchers' customers without specific approval by the City. The agreement to allow employee parking only is a much better arrangement. The use of the parking lot by the Lafayette Club last year was mentioned. Hurr noted that both businesses are located outside of the City of Orono and should be considered on an equal basis. It was noted that the Lafayette Club did not request use of the parking lot and would receive equal consideration if a request was made. A maximum use of 60 parking stalls will be permitted. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ( #13) DAN HANDLIN REQUEST TO ACQUIRE CITY PROPERTY TO RESOLVE NON - CONFORMING DRIVEWAY ISSUE Moorse reported that the property owners of 3860 North Shore Drive have requested to acquire a portion of a City property that was obtained through tax forfeiture in order to resolve a non - conforming driveway due to its partial location on the City -owned lot. Moorse said the former owner installed the driveway without permits resulting in a cloud on the title when it was sold. The new owners went ahead with the purchase of the property, and money was escrowed to resolve the problem. 17
