MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 19,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> • Mattick stated in a lot of these situations,the performance standards do not have to be nailed down in the <br /> code because common sense prevails, but every now and then you have someone who pushes the Council <br /> on it because it is not defined in the code. <br /> Mattick stated as it relates to the moratorium, it is not a moratorium on all accessory structures. The <br /> moratorium does not prohibit any structures that are specifically listed. There was a concern that the <br /> moratorium would inconvenience the community, and to Staffls knowledge no one has been turned away <br /> or not allowed to erect an accessory structure at this point. <br /> Curtis noted the recent application for the cabana was in the process months ago and is one of those <br /> undefined accessory structures. Curtis indicated the applicants submitted their application this summer. <br /> Gaffron stated he would like the Planning Commission to discuss this at their next work session and that <br /> Staff would like to present them with a list of things that are not currently contained in the code. The next <br /> step would be to come up with performance standard for each those items for the March Planning <br /> Commission meeting. <br /> Gaffron suggested the Planning Commission table this item tonight. <br /> Chair Schoenzeit opened the public hearing at 8:42 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this item. <br /> Chair Schoenzeit closed the public hearing at 8:42 p.m. <br /> Schoenzeit moved,Leskinen seconded,to table Application#13-3596,City of Orono,Zoning <br /> Study—Accessory Uses and Structures. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Mattick commented it would probably be helpful for the Planning Commissioners to take a look at <br /> properties as they drive by and see what types of other accessory structures are typically contained on <br /> properties. <br /> Berg asked if entrance monuments with lights are considered an accessory structure. <br /> Gaffron indicated it is not listed as an accessory structure but that the City has regulations governing <br /> monuments. <br /> Schoenzeit asked if Staff could compile a list of the top 10 items that typically fall through the cracks. <br /> Gaffron indicated he will compile that list for the work session. <br /> PLANNING CONIMISSION COMMENTS <br /> 8.
