� <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING ' <br /> Tuesday,June 10,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (6. #13-3596 CITY OF ORONO,ZONING STUDY,ACCESSORY USES cP� STRUCTURES— <br /> ORDINANCE&SUMMARY ORDINANCE, Continued) <br /> Levang asked if the Planning Commission discussed the trash enclosure section and whether they are <br /> okay with waiting on that section. <br /> Gaffron indicated there was a minimal amount of discussion but that in his view they are not opposed to <br /> that. <br /> Landgraver stated that is an accurate description and concurred that Mike Gaffron has done an <br /> outstanding job. <br /> Bremer asked if there is a reason why elevator towers and HVAC systems do not have a height restriction <br /> such as with the parapet walls. Bremer indicated she does not recall an issue with that coming up in the <br /> past but that the Council perhaps should discuss that. <br /> Gaffron stated typically HVAC equipment is located on the rooftop and that there are some screening <br /> requirements currently in the commerciaUindustrial districts. Residential structures typically do not have <br /> HVAC equipment on the roof unless it is a multi-family structure with a flat roof. <br /> Bremer commented you typically do not see that but it is possible that someone would do that if they had <br /> a narrow lot. <br /> Gaffron stated depending on the size of the building,the typical commercial HVAC equipment is 10 to 12 <br /> feet high and perhaps a lot less. Gaffron indicated he does not have a problem with incorporating some <br /> type of height limit on it but that he would need to do some further research on it. <br /> Loftus stated other communities go up to the height limit with elevator penthouses and then what they <br /> have done is attempt to put a percentage of the roof area that it can take up. Loftus indicated she has seen <br /> it limited to 25 percent of the roof area since it can start to take over the majority of the roof. <br /> Bremer stated she is not suggesting that action on the ordinance amendment be delayed tonight but that it <br /> is perhaps something the City could look at again in the future. <br /> Bremer asked if the ordinance limits the number of flagpoles someone could have on their property. <br /> McMillan stated it was her understanding it is limited to one. <br /> Gaffron stated Page 34, Section 27, limits it to one flagpole at a distance no less than the required <br /> principal structure side yard setback for the zoning district and one pump house no greater than 20 square <br /> feet in area and no higher than 48 inches in height. <br /> Bremer stated she raised that point because she wanted the City Council to understand the number of <br /> flagpoles was limited. <br /> McMillan asked if she would prefer one for the entire lot or only one for the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Bremer indicated she would be fine with one flagpole in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> Page 6 of 32 <br />
