MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMIVIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,Apri115,2013 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron indicated there was one occasion that he is aware of and that the City would likely not enforce it <br /> unless a complaint is received. <br /> Landgraver stated if the City regulates it,they would have to define what laundry drying equipment is. <br /> Leskinen stated, as she has indicated in the past,she does not want to get so mired down in details that the <br /> City is regulating everything. Leskinen stated she understands regulating things that affect the neighbors <br /> visually or noise-wise. <br /> Landgraver noted if it is not regulated,the City would not have a way of enforcing setbacks, etc. . <br /> Leskinen stated the list could become endless and asked what the objective is. Leskinen asked if the <br /> objective is to control what is on the property and how it affects the neighbors. <br /> Landgraver stated it would be permitted since it is listed. <br /> Gaffron indicated it would be permitted. <br /> Landgraver stated not having it in here is the problem. <br /> Leskinen stated she is fine with it being listed as an allowed use but that she does not want to expand on <br /> the definition and complicate things. � <br /> Landgraver stated they are in agreement and that he would leave it as is. <br /> Gaffron stated solar electric and solar thermal systems' has been added, as has"Geothermal systems". <br /> The City does not have any code standards in place for these systems as of yet and the options are to <br /> adopt language similar to Medina's(See Table 3 from 3-18-13 packet)or leave adoption of standards for <br /> future action. Gaffron noted the City does have a fair number of solar panels. <br /> Schoenzeit noted that solar electric photovoltaic is making electricity and solar thermal is actually heating <br /> water for some type of domestic use. ' - <br /> Gaffron commented it is likely the City has both. Gaffron stated he remembers an application where they <br /> were requesting a variance to allow their house at a certain angle because their solar panel was more <br /> enhanced at that angle. Gaffron indicated he does not remember what the result was. <br /> Gaffron stated the City does have geothermal systems and that they do fairly regularly receive phone calls <br /> regarding them. Gaffron stated it would be prudent to add those to the code at some point. <br /> Sections 12 thru 19. In each of these districts(RI'UD,B-1 thru B-6, and Industrial)the preamble <br /> sentence within the accessory use section has been modified to read identical to the single-family district <br /> wording,by stating that onlv the listed uses are permitted,provided the,y are subordinate to, and <br /> associated with and located on the same lot as a permitted use. <br /> Section 20. This section deals specifically with the height of structures and is drafted with four options <br /> for consideration. The existing code is inconsistent within itsel£ Section 78-1366(a)says that the height <br /> limitations imposed by other provisions of this chapter may be increased by conditional use permit by 50 <br /> Page 19 of 26 <br />
