MINUTES OF THE <br /> � ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Tuesday,June 10,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (9. #13-3606 LUKE KUJAWA OF YOUR BOAT CLUB, 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE, CUP <br /> AMENDMENT, Continued) <br /> Farniok noted as it relates to the crosswalk usage, there is no legal standard that requires pedestrians to <br /> use the marked crosswalk. Given the location of the crosswalk, it likely is not going to be used since <br /> most people will take the most direct route from their car to the marina. The police department has <br /> received one parking complaint. A report was also run regarding parking citations but it was hard to <br /> differentiate between this use and the 900 block of Shoreline. The report consisted of four complaints <br /> over two years concerning illegal parking. <br /> Farniok indicated there was also one call for 1444 Shoreline Drive of a property damage complaint as <br /> well as a signage complaint in reference to the marina. The police department did work with the marina <br /> to address that issue. In 2012,there was a complaint about shots being fired at the residential property <br /> which officers responded to but were unable to determine whether it was fireworks or gunshots. A noise <br /> complaint was also received for the property at 1440 Shoreline where the officers responded but when the <br /> officers arrived at the property,they found the noise level was not significant. <br /> Farniok stated he has spoken with the fire chief about the fueling situation and there was an inspection of <br /> the storage container. The fire chief will be preparing a report regarding his findings and discussion with <br /> the fire marshal. The fire marshal did visit the site and had some concerns about the positioning of the <br /> temporary fuel container. According to regulations,there should be a 50-foot setback from any structure <br /> but the fire marshal had indicated he would be okay with a 25-foot setback. The fire marshal also found <br /> some spillage on the tank and on the ground next to the tank. One of the conditions is that the tank not be <br /> completely filled. Farniok indicated the fire chief and the fire marshal will be defining what temporary <br /> means in this situation. <br /> Loftus asked whether the boat club can fuel boats now or whether they have to wait for approval from the <br /> fire marshal. <br /> Farniok indicated he does not have that information. <br /> McMillan asked when the City will receive a report from the fire chief. <br /> Farniok indicated the fire chief has been advised that the City would like to receive that as soon as <br /> possible. <br /> (Recess taken from 8:58 p.m.to 9:03 p.m.) <br /> Luke Kujawa stated this situation started approximately three years ago when they had one of their first <br /> meetings with Staff over the language in City Code regarding marinas and the fact that boat clubs need to <br /> obtain a conditional use permit. Kujawa indicated at the time of the first application,they went through <br /> all the details relating to the parking stipulations and conditions recommended by the Planning <br /> Commission. The conditional use permit for 20 boat club slips was eventually approved. <br /> Kujawa noted the one complaint the police chief inentioned regarding parking was not caused by boat <br /> club parking but was caused by the tenant in the building who was staging boats for a boat show. Other <br /> than that, over the last three years,there has been virtually no parking complaints or other complaints <br /> about the site. <br /> Page 17 of 32 <br />
