MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, August 15, 2016 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Schoenzeit moved to recommend approval of Application No. 16-3856, Saryan Cuisine <br />Development, LLC, on behalf of Paul Agre Company, 2380 Shadywood Road, granting of a <br />conditional use permit per Staffs recommendations, subject to verification of the parking, with the <br />recommendation that a change in zoning be required if liquor or additional seating is requested. <br />Barnhart stated he is hearing that liquor sales would tip it over into the restaurant realm and that he would <br />suggest the Planning Commission recommend no liquor sales or outdoor seating under the current B-5 <br />zoning. <br />Thiesse stated he dislikes the Planning Commission telling another governing body what they can and <br />cannot do at some point in the future. <br />Schoenzeit stated it is a recommendation, and that in the Planning Commission's discussion of <br />coffee/bagel shop, they felt the definition does not include liquor. Schoenzeit stated it is the Planning <br />Commission's belief that adding liquor would tip it over into restaurant zoning. <br />Schwingler asked if outdoor seating would tip it over. <br />Schoenzeit stated that would take it over the 60 seats and impact the parking. <br />Barnhart stated currently they are at the maximum seating and any expansion over that would not be <br />consistent with a coffee/bagel shop. <br />Thiesse stated the City does not really care if it is indoor or outdoor seating as long as it is not over 60 <br />seats. <br />Leskinen seconded the motion. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Page 15 of 15 <br />
