` <br /> �OROr10 COliNCIL r4EETING HELD FEBRUARY 14 , 1977 Page 14 <br /> In this commercial district, buildings may NAVARRE AREA REZONING <br /> be used for �urposes such as (a) dance halls , <br /> (Continued) <br /> � pool halls, circuses or theaters, (b) sea plane <br /> or amphibian base or any facility for the <br /> operation, r�aintenance or storage of aircraft, <br /> (c) uses or pur_poses which in re]_ation to <br /> permitted uses of premises are noxious or <br /> offensive by reason of the emission of dust, <br /> smoke, gas fumes , vibration or noises. In <br /> t checking the index of the yellow pages , he <br /> found a vast nurnber of businesses listed. Most <br /> businesses ar_e clean and desirable and an asset <br /> to the area. He feels that the nurnber of types <br /> of commercial uses in Orono could be a great one <br /> and Orono is trying to restrict this. He has <br /> had no problem with his property - no com�laints - <br /> no petitions to rezone. For the past 17 years , <br /> he has paid $21, 000 in taxes and assc�s�ments . <br /> He feels he is a good citizen and would not do <br /> anything to develop his property without the <br /> _ interest of the neighboring properties. Three <br /> w��ks ago, the Planning Commission suggested <br /> making some addition to the l.ist of permitted <br /> and conditional uses . He is not asking for <br /> anything other than what he already has and is <br /> requesting that the zonong remain as is . �ae do <br /> have a comprehensive plan for land uses and <br /> - development in Orono. <br /> f3� went on to say that in 1967 , the zoning <br /> ordinance was overhauled. In this revision, <br /> the various classes of residential were defined. <br /> Boundaries were also defined. At that time, <br /> his property was B-l. In 1975 , zoning was <br /> redefined and boundary lines relocated. <br /> Mr. P1cQueen then stated that the proposed B-5 <br /> zone would downgrade his property. If it <br /> was established, he would start legal �action, <br /> or he would go ahead and build without a permit <br /> and let the City initiate action against hir►. <br /> Within the past two weeks, he talked to other <br /> property owners and several other businessmen <br /> e in the rlavarre area concerning this rezoning. <br /> Everyone he talked to appears to be disgusted. <br /> They have gotten together and pledged a large <br /> amount of money to get some legal advice. <br /> They will be appearing before the Orono Village <br /> Council next Plonday. <br /> _ P�Zr. Ulrick felt that the Village has not allowed <br /> enough time for the current zoning to take efiect. <br /> Are we going to be faced with this situation every <br /> two years? They would like to get sor.zething <br /> resolved now. (Continued) <br />
