MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 10, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 20 of 30 (9. #14-3647 EOF INVESTMENTS, LLC, D/B/A YOUR BOAT CLUB, LLC – 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE – COMMERCIAL SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR UNDERGROUND FUEL STORAGE TANK INSTALLATION, Continued) Kujawa stated there are a couple of levels of retail sales and that if they were to go after sales to the general public, they would like to relocate the gas dispenser and have signage. Kujawa stated their biggest concern is the marina’s slip tenants and perhaps Mr. Anderson’s slip tenants. Kujawa stated it does not make sense to prohibit signage since retail gas sales are allowed but that he does not want a large number of people from the general public going to those inner docks to obtain gas. McMillan stated if he was really interested in selling gas to the general public, he would probably want to relocate the dispensing system. Levang asked if he would like to relocate it to the outside. Kujawa indicated relocating the gas dispenser would require them to go through the LMCD and that he probably will look at that at some point in the future. Kujawa indicated he is fine with where it is currently proposed. McMillan noted this application is dealing strictly with the fuel storage tank and the applicant is working on the other issues. McMillan indicated she is okay with the application with the exception of Item No. 7. Bremer moved, Printup seconded, to approve Application No. 14-3647, EOF Investments, LLC, d/b/a Your Boat Club, LLC, 1444 Shoreline Drive, Commercial Site Plan Review for an Underground Fuel Storage Tank Installation, and to direct Staff to draft an approval resolution subject to the Planning Commission recommendations outlined in Staff’s report except for Item No. 7. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT 10. WATERTOWN ROAD FEASIBILITY STUDY – PRESENTATION Martini noted on September 23, 2013, the City Council approved a proposal from Bolton & Menk to complete a feasibility study for Watertown Road. Bolton & Menk has completed the feasibility study. Martini stated as it relates to the existing conditions, the road is designated as a state aid road and generally runs parallel along Highway 12. The width of the road varies somewhat but is generally a narrow road. The average width of the road is 24 feet with 12-foot lanes in each direction. The blacktop ranges from 2.5 inches to 14 inches. Martini noted 14 inches of blacktop is very unusual and was likely caused by multiple overlays. Martini stated the report is broken up into two sections, with each end being evaluated separately.
