MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 28, 1996 • ( #5 Marina Licenses 1996 - Continued) Callahan asked about marinas operating without licenses. Gaffron said North Shore has applied but Lakeside has not. As far as the CUP's, Minnetonka Boat Works and Windward do not need one, Sailors World received a CUP last year, and North Shore Marina needs a CUP for dry stack and its caretaker unit. Lakeside needs a CUP for all five conditions listed in the ordinance. • Callahan noted with the granting of licenses, all will then be licensed. Gaffron said one, Lakeside, has not applied, and will be in violation of the code. Callahan remarked that if other residents operate without a CUP, the City would follow through on it for compliance_ He asked Gaffron what can be done about the marinas who have not applied for a CUP. Gaffron said legal steps would be taken if the marinas are unwilling to comply, and the court would require compliance. Hurr said she did not believe Lakeside should be allowed an extension, and asked why a license would be Granted if the marina has not applied for a CUP. Gaffron said licensine under the revised code is separate from the CUP requirement, noting there are 7 conditions to be met. He commented that if a marina does not make application for a license, it cannot be granted. Callahan clantied that since a CUP is not a condition of licensing, a license would still be granted. • Jab bour asked that licensing compliance be enforced and asked for Staff to proceed with action on marinas operating without a required CUP. Gaffron said he would send a letter to marinas in need of CUP noting the need to make application before the next deadline date of June 21. Hurr requested a shorter deadline date.
