MINUTES OF THE REGULI�R ORONO COUNCIL MEETING I3ELD FEI3RUARY 25 , 1985 _ PAGE 3 Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that North Shore Drive Marina was not subjected to the current zoning because of the court case which allowed North Shore Drive Marina to go by the old zoning code. Jo Ellen Hurr noted that the LMCD did send an inspector out to the site and that inspector noted that the dockage conforms to the LMCD requirements . Hurr noted that another inspector from the LMCD will be sent out to investigate into the deicing pumper to see if it meets the reo,uirements since the pumper isn ' t suppose to cause a wake. Hurr noted that the LMCD is no longer allowing permanent docks . Hurr noted that Orono has approved extensive permanent docking for North Shore Drive Narina. Herman Renner stated that the City should allow the residents in this area to shift their docks around or the City will be involved in a lawsuit. Renner noted that the docking cannot follow the lot lines in this neighborhood. ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS Howard �ohnson of 1635 Concordia Street asked Council for more direction regarding his proposal on Concordia Street. Johnson noted that he has dealt with the hardcover issue by proposing holding ponds that will hold a 6" rain. Johnson noted he is proposing five docks in a cluster. Johnson stated that Orono ' s code states that the City likes PUD' s because it doesn' t destroy the natural amenities . Johnson noted that his proposal is with one car garages in hopes to attract the quiet person. Johnson stated that in the future he hopes to put a tennis court on the property. Acting Mayor Frahm informed Johnson that the property in question will only allow two riparian lots and no multiple docks . Frahm stated that the City has never allowed attached dwellings near the lake except those neighborhoods that were next to a commercial area. Councilmember L. Adams felt that Johnson has a good proposal and an innovative way to use his four and a half acres . Adams noted he would be in favor of five lots with two of those five being riparian rights . Adams stated that Johnson would have to assign those riparian rights to only two of the lots. Adams felt that Johnson had compromised a great deal from his first proposal. Councilmember Grabek asked Johnson if this is what he would like to see happen to the lake. Grabek felt that Johnson was not following the intent of the zoning code.
