� <br /> • CONTINUED MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL APRIL 27, 1977 Page 12 <br /> � Mr. Hork, also, stated that there are docks NORTH SHORE MARINA <br /> remaining in the lagoon to tie the boats to. (Continued) <br /> �hat nine boats could park along the walkways. <br /> ey could park 18 boats on either side of the <br /> • walkways and that the lagoon is adequate in <br /> • depth for the parking of boats. <br /> Mayor Van Nest noted that homes on both sides <br /> � of the marina were in a residential zone and <br /> � would view the racks and that if the racks were <br /> to be located next to a residential property <br /> � owner, that this neighbor should have the � <br /> opportunity, and the City should have the <br /> • opportunity, for full input to this proposal. <br /> � It appears that there are many questions here <br /> � that have to be answered. Do these proposed <br /> racks meet the building code requirements? <br /> � Was a building permit applied for? Apparently, <br /> it was not. There is no question that if these <br /> � racks are a permanent structure and they are <br /> to be installed on a foundation, they do <br /> • require a building permit. <br /> � Other questions are: Will the installation of <br /> + these racks expand the existing operation? <br /> What effect does the cubing or stacking of boats <br /> hree high have in other marinas? Will the <br /> plicant remove the same number of slips from <br /> � he lake? It appears, also, that adequate <br /> information was not provided to the City staff <br /> « until such time as the racks were purchased by <br /> , Mr. Hork. There is an obligation to move 20 <br /> slips on dry land. Rearrangement of existing <br /> � storage areas might provide additional storage <br /> areas without creating additional storage space. <br /> � It appears that these racks would create problems <br /> in height and create objectional visual obstruction. <br /> • It appears, also, that this is an expansion of <br /> illegal non-conforming uses. Also, this is allowing <br /> � more than one permanent structure on one lot. <br /> � This is also creating unjustified increased boat <br /> density in one area. The City has to note for <br /> ` the record that structural drawings have never <br /> been presented to the City so it is obvious that <br /> � the City could not determine if a building permit <br /> would be necessary. No one noted to the City in <br /> � the preliminary stages the need for foundations <br /> for these structures, that these racks have a <br /> � capacity of 36 boats per rack or 72 slips altogether. <br /> � The City has to determine if the ground space <br /> requirement for these racks would affect parking <br /> ,� requirements. <br /> � (Continued) <br /> r <br /> � <br /> � <br />
