MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,March 18,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron indicated that would be a situation similar to a fish house. The goal of the regulations is to cover <br /> things that people are likely to store on their property and then identify where they can be stored. The <br /> question for the Planning Commission to consider is if they are likely to be problematic to the neighbors, <br /> should there be standards placed on them. <br /> Schoenzeit stated similar with the wood piles,the City should look to see whether their nuisance <br /> regulations cover these types of situations. <br /> Curtis stated the City has a provision regarding non-trash items which says, all other non-trash items <br /> which are of a type or quantity inconsistent with the normal and usual use of the property or of a type and <br /> quantity inconsistent with the intended use of the property or likely to obstruct or impede the necessary <br /> passage of fire or other emergency personnel are not allowed. If someone has a lawn mower and they <br /> park it next to the garage, it would not be considered a violation. If you have a number of lawnmowers <br /> over and above that,that would be considered a type and quantity inconsistent with the normal use of the <br /> property. <br /> Berg asked about bobcats. <br /> Curtis indicated those are not allowed to be stored outside. <br /> Landgraver asked whether the City receives complaints about RVs parked on the properly line. <br /> Curtis indicated that does not happen very often unless it is very close to the house. The City does <br /> receive calls periodically where an RV is plugged in and someone might be living in it. <br /> Gaffron stated this is probably a section where the City needs to list the things that people are allowed to <br /> store and then rely on existing code sections as well as the nuisance section to deal with problems that <br /> may come up. <br /> Schoenzeit commented the odor from a compost pile could also be dealt with under the nuisance section. <br /> Leskinen stated as long as there is that balance,you can be less specific. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the nuisance regulations could be less specific. <br /> Landgraver asked if they are saying that what is listed on Pages 18 and 19 should be eliminated or keep it <br /> as it. <br /> Schoenzeit stated in his view it should be left as is and that they do not need to get more specific since <br /> complaints could be handled under the nuisance regulations. Schoenzeit stated the question is whether <br /> the City has a way to deal with these things should they become a problem rather than restricting them. <br /> Leskinen stated for those lacking common sense,the City can deal with some of these things under the <br /> nuisance regulations. <br /> Landgraver stated it appears that Staff is looking for tangible language that Council can act on but that <br /> this may be an instance where it does not need to be that specific. <br /> Page 18 of 24 <br />
