MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,February 16,2016 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> property rights but that the person renting out his ar her property also needs to respect everyone else in <br /> the neighborhood. <br /> Leskinen asked if he is more comfortable with a periodic rental. <br /> McGrann indicated he is not sure of the exact number of nights that should be required or allowed. <br /> McGrann stated in his view people who are coming to Orono are coming to the community for the <br /> neighborhood and the environment. McGrann stated the character of the neighborhood could change if <br /> there are a number of rentals. <br /> Landgraver stated the City should at least put a process in place to identify the persons responsible for <br /> rental properties, and if complaints are received,the City would have the licensing process in place and <br /> could then start attaching conditions. Landgraver stated they are requesting they tell the City they are <br /> doing this and in return the City will remind them of the regulations. Landgraver stated the license could <br /> be renewed once a year and at that time any problems could be addressed. <br /> Leskinen stated the renewal piece can become the enforcement mechanism. <br /> Landgraver stated the code is also an enforcement piece. <br /> Lemke noted at the workshop the residents indicated they had even more restrictions than what the City is <br /> proposing. <br /> Schoenzeit stated he would rather see strong and consistent nuisance enforcement by the City rather than <br /> just identifying rental properties. Schoenzeit stated the enforcement should be consistent across the City. <br /> Leskinen asked if Commissioner Schoenzeit feels the police department or City would respond quicker to <br /> a complaint regarding a rental versus a general nuisance complaint. <br /> Schoenzeit stated regular residents are not under the same enforcement rules. <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br />
