MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, November 25, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 13 of 29 (4. #13-3615 JAMES ANDERST, 3384-3386 SHORELINE DRIVE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT – CLASS II RESTAURANT, Continued) Mattick stated it will end up being two licenses if there are two separate businesses. McMillan stated she understands the applicant would like the restaurant to be open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. during the week and 8:0 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the weekends but that she is trying to figure out why the two different closing times. Anderst stated during the week he would like to be open at 3:00 in the afternoon and that everybody would probably be done eating by 11:00. The weekends will be different since people tend to stay longer and eat later. McMillan asked if there would be a door blocking access to the restaurant area from the saloon. Anderst indicated there would be. Anderst noted his liquor license allows him to sell alcohol from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Mattick noted in some areas you can serve alcohol until 2:00 p.m. Anderst indicated he does not want to do that. Bremer asked if the kitchen would be closed at 11:00 on weekdays. Anderst noted during the week the kitchen in the Narrows closes at 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on the weekends. Gaffron stated one of the questions the Council should address is regarding the landscape plan and the arborvitaes. The applicant is proposing some arborvitae next to the fence, which is basically the totality of the landscape plan. Gaffron stated Staff needs to know if additional landscaping is being proposed. Anderst indicated there will be brick columns, a wrought iron fence, and stone. Anderst indicated he does not want a pine tree in that area since they do not have that much room. Anderst stated on the inside of the fence there will be like a flower bed but that he does not know what type of flowers will be planted. Anderst noted the space is limited in that area. Gaffron stated the Planning Commission had wanted a more definitive idea of the type of plantings. Gaffron indicated he is more comfortable with the original landscape plan. Printup stated the colored rendition is a nice concept if that is the plan that is being proposed. McMillan stated in her view the people sitting on the patio would want to be able to look through the wrought iron fence. Anderst noted they would be looking out over the parking lot and that the arborvitaes would help block the headlights.
