MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Tuesday, June 10, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />    Page 23 of 32   <br />(9. #13-3606 LUKE KUJAWA OF YOUR BOAT CLUB, 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE, CUP <br />AMENDMENT, Continued) <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated he counted 26 this morning. <br /> <br />Kujawa stated this area has always been used for parking. Kujawa stated if they can do something <br />different with the houses, they can make a better, useful property, but that it will involve long-term <br />discussions with the City to come up with a plan that everyone is happy with. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if a fuel tank will be placed in the triangular gravel area. <br /> <br />Kujawa stated that is one of the options that have been discussed. <br /> <br />McMillan stated she does not see that as parking and that the 81 stalls should be permanent. <br /> <br />Kujawa noted that has never been included in the number of parking stalls. <br /> <br />Bremer stated as it relates to the parking on the west side of the lot, there does seem to be some confusion <br />about where their parking ends. Bremer stated in her view it would be in everyone’s best interests to <br />control parking locations and have the stalls marked and signage installed. Bremer asked the applicant <br />what his plans are for parking improvements. <br /> <br />Kujawa stated the biggest step in addressing parking was to move to the other side of the marina. Kujawa <br />indicated today they had 19 of their boats being used and there were 10 open parking spots on that side, <br />with only a couple of cars parked in the wedge area. Kujawa indicated the move has already had a <br />positive impact. Behind the retail operation there are 40 slips on the Tanager side and those people will <br />still require some parking. Sectioning or partitioning off the lot is going to be challenging because people <br />are coming and going during the day but at some point it will have to be reconfigured. Kujawa stated <br />they are never going to be able to stop everyone from crossing the road but that they hope to minimize it. <br /> <br />Bremer asked where the additional ten slips are located that they would like to take over. <br /> <br />Kujawa stated there are actually 24 slips in the yellow highlighted area and that is the area that is under <br />lease currently. Kujawa indicated they could add the first few slips on the south to get to 24 slips. <br />Kujawa indicated he is not sure he wants to go up to 30 at this time, but that if he has to put in a spare <br />boat or something, he does not want to be bumping up against the limit and have to go through another <br />application. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if he has any information regarding the use of the boats. <br /> <br />Kujawa stated the boats are used on a half-day basis. The boats typically go out once in the morning and <br />once in the afternoon. There is an hour and a half turnover time to allow for the boats to be cleaned up. <br />All the boats have to be back by dusk, which changes throughout the year. Kujawa indicated doubling up <br />on parking does not happen because there is an hour and a half between usage times. <br /> <br />McMillan noted with 20 slips, you would be talking a minimum of 20 cars. McMillan stated in her view <br />that would require 20 stalls for those time periods, and if it is increased to 30, he should plan on needing a <br />minimum of 30 stalls. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda 06/24/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 06/10/2013 [Page 23 of 32]
