The City has never, since <br /> 1976,had any property zoned M-6,this is an outdated piece of the City Code. Staff recommends those <br /> two districts be removed from the City Code. <br /> Levang stated the changes are straight forward. <br /> McMillan indicated she also is fine with the changes. <br /> Levang moved,Cornick seconded,to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 130,Third Series,an Ordinance <br /> Amending the Orono Zoning City Code by Eliminating the RR-1B-1 and M-6 ZONING <br /> DISTRICTS. VOTE: Ayes 3,Nays 0. <br /> 4. #15-3706 AMEND SECTION 78-1211 REGARDING CLARIFICATION TO THE TOE OF <br /> BLUFF DEFINITION—ORDINANCE NO. 131 <br /> Gaffron stated this definition was questioned by an attorney as the City was going through a variance <br /> application last year. Gaffron stated the City's definition exactly mimics the State Statute's definition, <br /> but there was a question about how many different points on a slope might be defined as the toe of bluff. <br /> Gaffron stated from a practical standpoint,there can only be one toe. <br /> The proposed language changes the language it to state that the toe of the bluff is the lower point of the <br /> lowest 50-foot segment with an average slope exceeding 18 percent. Gaffron stated essentially that <br /> means when it is a steep slope and it ends right at the lakeshore,you would not go out into the water to <br /> get to that 18 percent. As a result,when the toe is defined as lakeward of the OHW,the OHW becomes <br /> the toe and not some point out in the lake. <br /> Levang stated she does remember that discussion on the variance application and that she is happy there <br /> is a clarification on the defmition. <br /> Mayor McMillan asked if there is any public comment on the amendment. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Levang moved,Cornick seconded,to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 131,Third Series,an Ordinance <br /> Amending the Orono Zoning City Code by Amending the Definition of"Toe of Bluff." VOTE: <br /> Ayes 3,Nays 0. <br /> Page 2 of 14 <br />
