MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Tuesday, June 10, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 27 of 32 (9. #13-3606 LUKE KUJAWA OF YOUR BOAT CLUB, 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE, CUP AMENDMENT, Continued) Anderson asked if there is a storm water management plan in place for this site. Anderson indicated it is a new requirement and is controlled by the MPCA. Anderson commented the City is allowing the storage of a fuel tank in a floodplain and allowing the use of a residential property for commercial purposes. The City should allow the 20 slips but require conformity to the conditional use permit to prove that what he is saying is true. Anderson asked if parking on the residential properties was counted today. Gaffron indicated he did not count those. Anderson stated there are 13 stalls striped out and one of them is a double. Gaffron stated to his recollection there are four or five across. Anderson stated he counted 13 and in the other parking lot there is zero. Anderson stated he cannot believe that he is being accused of trying to create a monopoly when he is actually trying to create something special for the City of Orono. Anderson commented this property is like a zoo and that when they have an open house in two weeks, the City should see what happens then. Anderson requested the City Council not approve the 30 slips and require the applicant bring the property into compliance. Anderson questioned why they waited until just recently to take the stuff out now when they have had two years to do it. Mayor McMillan closed the public hearing at 10:02 p.m. Levang stated she would like a definition of overflow parking, and then when she visited today at 3:00 p.m., there were five cars parked at 1442 Shoreline Drive, with her car being one of them. Gaffron stated the resolution from 1989 does not address the overflow parking, but the resolution from 2011, Page 3 of 8, Item E, addresses the number of parking stalls. Gaffron indicated to his knowledge the overflow parking has never been specifically defined as meaning that all the other parking spots are full. Levang stated there are not 26 unmarked parking spots on the Tanager side. Gaffron stated the numbers that go back to 1989 always talked about 26 and that it is possible the management of the site may result in differing numbers. Gaffron stated under today’s circumstances, it would be difficult to park 26 cars in there. Levang noted there is also one double spot and that she does not see how 26 cars can fit in that area. McMillan asked if the City has any information on the sale of boats and how many people typically show up for an open house.
