� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 12,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (6. #13-3606 LUKE KUJAWA O YOUR BOAT CLUB, 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE— <br /> CONDITIONAL USEPERMITAMENDMENT, Continued) <br /> Van Eyll stated there is one other marina in the City that performs fueling operations prior to the season <br /> opening and that arrangement was put in place prior to him becoming a fire marshal. <br /> Anderson stated she understands the temporary issue and asked if they can finish the season. <br /> Van Eyll indicated he would be willing to extend it but that it would be the City Council's choice. <br /> Printup asked if the other marina with the portable tank pulls a permit every year. <br /> Van Eyll stated the boats are fueled before they are put into the water and that it is used only in the spring. <br /> Van Eyll stated to his knowledge they are not required to have a permit. <br /> Levang stated she would either table the application or deny the application since the conditional use <br /> permit runs with the land and there are a number of issues that are still not addressed. Levang stated <br /> while there has been some significant changes, it is not enough to satisfy her. <br /> Anderson noted she has been advised by City Staff not to vote on this matter given the fact that her son <br /> has worked at Your Boat Club for the past two seasons but that she will not recuse herself from the <br /> discussions. Anderson stated from the perspective of an employer, Your Boat Club has done a good job <br /> of employing some of the local youth in the community. Anderson stated in her view there are a number <br /> of good kids that are employed there that are learning how to deal with people very day. <br /> Anderson stated as it relates to the access part of it, she finds that to be a positive attribute of the boat club <br /> business model since Orono does have a number of citizens that do not have access to the lake and Your <br /> Boat Club allows them access. <br /> Printup indicated he agrees that it is a good business model and that he enjoyed hearing how the business <br /> is growing to such an extent that it cannot accommodate everybody. Printup stated his feeling coming <br /> into this is that two months ago the Council wanted to see certain things accomplished. While big steps <br /> have been taken to accomplish those things,there are some issues that remain unresolved. Printup <br /> indicated he is not in favor of denying it and that he is leaning more towards tabling it. <br /> Printup noted he has previously said he likes the concept of Your Boat Club, and while the boat club has <br /> an investment to make and ensure that all their ducks are in a row,the City Council needs to watch over <br /> land use issues and issues with neighbors. <br /> Bremer indicated she is in agreement with Council Member Printup and that she is more in favor of the <br /> expansion than she was two months ago. Bremer noted there were a few issues that were discussed <br /> tonight where information was not available prior to Staff's memo being written,and that she would <br /> recommend that information be supplied prior to the day of the meeting. Bremer commented a lack of <br /> information is the kind of thing that causes folks to become nervous and want to table something because <br /> the Council Members have not had the opportunity to fully hear and review everything before it was <br /> presented tonight. <br /> Page 17 of 37 <br />
