R�GULAR P1EE`�'IiJG OF THE OROiJO COU2JCIL, FrB_T2UARY 27 , 1979 Page 9 Mr. Howe discussed the proposed site, landscaping� PUBLIC HEARING design of docks , seawall, gardens, proposed building Stubbs Bay Marina , to house sr_►all sht�p and boat storage. (Continued) Mr. Carney comr.iented that there is no intention to dredge the area. We night rec�uire a side yard variance to accommodate slips and a variance to the 100 ft. dock length. _ Mr. Alan Olson read the following letters into the record: "T�e are unable �to attend the hearing on February 27, but we would like to express our interest in keeping . the Stubbs Bay area residential with liMited docking space. As stated in our letter of June 19 (a copy of �ahich is enc losed) , we are opposed to coru-�ercial expansion. , By far the nost desirable marina site option would be rezoning for residential use only. If the site is to be used as a marina there should be strict lirnitations on the distance the docks can extend into the bay. The docks should not extend in front of the property of others. " Dr. & tirs. Vincent H. Larson - February 19 , 1979 .:..''` Jar.ies Fullerton, III, letter - February 23, 1979 _ "I want to e�press to you and the Orono Council the feelings that I, Jaraes G. Fullerton III, and riy parents Mr. and 2Srs. James G. Fullerton, Jr. , have on the proposed Stubbs Bay tiarina. Both families are totally against such a project. There are several reasons for this feeling and let ne express the more dominant ones. It is our opinion that Stubbs Bay has by far too � little surface area to support any more boat traffic � as we feel it is already congested with the existing traffic; rT►uch of it brought on by the several marinas in P4axwell Bay. jve feel that the narrow channel connecting Stubbs and P�saxwell Bays will becor.te more dangerous. than it already is with the increased boat population. In my r.ienory, Stubbs Bay also is a fairly shallow body of cvater and the ecology may be upset by any nore boat � action on its surface. Another point that may be taken is that there have been more hor,►es, therefore more docks, therefor r,iore boats � .,�y� created in the last several years on both tiaxwell and ' Stubbs Bays, which has increased the boat traffic with- out an added marina. We would like to .see the proposed site rezoned "Residential" . " (Continued)
