ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR AUGUST 10, 1998 <br /> (#7) 1998 MARINA LICENSES-continued <br /> Flint moved, Goetten seconded, to approve the commercial marina license for Lakeside <br /> Marina with the following conditions: <br /> 1. A 6' fence would be allowed between the 0-75' lakeshore setback and the 30' <br /> street setback. <br /> 2. A 4' fence would be allowed in the 0-75' setback. ' <br /> 3. Height of the fence in the 30' street setback would be left to staff s discretion <br /> with appropriate sight lines to be the main consideration. <br /> 4. Ferice to be constructed prior to October 31, 1998. <br /> Dunn suggested the City contact the Metro pump station personnel regarding snow plowing <br /> practices, as they have used the area for snow removal and a fence could cause a problem. - <br /> Gaf&on asked Council if they wanted to add any controls for visual appeazance of the fence. Kelley <br /> commented that he would prefer a brown wooden fence, not a metal chain link fence. Goetten <br /> agreed. Dunn indicated that he also preferred a natural fence. Waade agreed with the natural fence. <br /> Gaf&on referred to the lighting issue. He noted that lighting is currently on two NSP poles and NSP <br /> is considering burying the lines. If lighting is placed on the marina building, lights would shine <br /> towards the adjacent property. Shielding has been discussed to alleviate the lighting issue. <br /> Waade asked if the marina would be required to do plantings to screen the boats. Mayor Jabbour <br /> did not think the plantings would be realistic because they would not survive. He felt the fence <br /> would take the place of plantings. Gaf&on added that the landscaping plan with plantings has been <br /> difficult to maintain,with approximately 1/4 of the plantings remaining that were required on the <br /> original plan. Kelley suggested the marina try to keep as many of the existing plants as possible <br /> during fence construction. Dunn noted that a few arborvitae and other plantings remain but sewer <br /> construction took many of the plantings. The power company also cut back the tops of many of the <br /> trees in the spring. Those plants that remain are relatively healthy. <br /> Vote: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> Mayor Jabbour thanked Mr. Dunn for his cooperation. <br /> Goetten.commended Gaf&on for his work with the marina owners in accomplishing the goals of the <br /> City for marina operations. <br /> 11 <br />
