. , <br /> REGULAR MEETING OF TIiE ORONO COUNCIL, P�RCH 30, 1978 Page 14 <br /> Mayor Van Nest: I think that the record shoiilc� be STUBBS BAY ?�IARINA <br /> clear that the Planning Cor.unission apProved 66 (Continued) <br /> lips only, whether they were in the water, or <br /> _ry stacked, and the Planning Commission was against <br /> the rezoning because of expansion of a commercial <br /> area. The North Star r�Zarina permit granted last <br /> year was approved because they followed a r.master <br /> plan for maintenance dredging. They had received <br /> a permit years ago from the DNR to dredge and last <br /> years' permit was to allow them to maintenance <br /> dredge the sarie area. Your request is new. You <br /> do have alternatives to dredging such as use of dry <br /> land slips, or rezoning. I do not believe that <br /> harbor dredging should be allowed. <br /> James r4cCleary: I have not studied the alternatives <br /> to know what impact no dredging would do, i�Zy <br /> docks are substandard and I need to have ther.l replaced. <br /> Mayor Van Nest: 66 slips are not a permitted use <br /> in the B-2 zone. They are non-conforming uses; <br /> additional slips, if any, should be on the shore. <br /> Massengale moved, i�iayor Van I1est seconded, to direct <br /> staff to send a letter to the Department of Natural <br /> Resources objecting to rezoning the area. 2iotion, <br /> Ayes (3) - Nays (0) . <br /> ..ayor Van Nest also stated that on-land storage is <br /> more cost effective and environmentally sound and <br /> according to all records, the Stubbs Bay r�iarina is <br /> entitled to only 66 slips. Based upon this and <br /> other findings of facts, <br /> Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to include - <br /> in the letter to the DP1R the following facts: <br /> l. 66 slips for many years <br /> 2. Past and present zoning does not allow rental <br /> slips as a permitted use. <br /> 3. There are alternatives to allow 66 slips (some <br /> on land, some in water) <br /> 4. No need for new harbor <br /> 5. City would support 30-foot launching area <br /> 6. City would favor application for some on-land <br /> starage <br /> 7. City is opposed to harbor dredging because of <br /> environmental damage to the lake_ because of <br /> description of filtration and nutrients. <br /> 8. Stubbs Bay is highly euthrophic <br /> 9. Stubbs Bay is remote and highly congested <br /> 10. There is adequate land available for dry <br /> storage without double-decking <br /> Motion, Ayes (3) - Nays (0) . <br />
