MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,November 27,2017 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 10. APPROVE TEMPORARY SITE PLAN FOR RIVER VALLEY SPORTS—USE OF A <br /> TENT FOR SALES DISPLAY—Continued <br /> Mattick stated he would like to review the Conditional Use Permit and that he does not know at this time <br /> whether this would constitute an expansion. Mattick noted the City Council is allowed to attach <br /> reasonable conditions to the special event permit,and while the code does not contemplate the length of a <br /> special event,that could be discussed by the City Council and a limit placed on it since that would be a <br /> reasonable condition. Mattick stated he understand the idea that it may be an intensification,but the <br /> question becomes what happens if they remove the request for the tent and simply do outdoor sales. <br /> Mattick noted that would be allowed. <br /> Walsh stated they could do it that way but that in his view the issue relates to the intensification. <br /> Barnhart stated Staff can address those issues and bring it back. <br /> Walsh indicated that would be his preference. <br /> Crosby stated he would also like to hear from the business owner. <br /> Barnhart requested the City Council table the request until December 11. <br /> Crosby moved,Printup seconded,to table the request for site plan approval submitted by River <br /> Valley Sports for the use of a temporary tent for sales display,subject to the six conditions outlined <br /> in Staff's report. <br /> Matt Johnson, 1432 Shoreline Drive,stated to his understanding these are not two separate entities and <br /> that they all operate under EOF. Johnson stated part of the reason for that relationship is the shared <br /> parking on the site. Johnson stated if EOF is separate from the marina and River Valley,they would be <br /> covering up their 19 parking spots with the tent. The only way for the parking to then work is for the two <br /> businesses to be combined. Johnson noted there is also a residentially zoned building that is inhabitable <br /> that they rent out and it appears they are improving the other residentially zoned property for possible <br /> rental. <br /> Johnson stated in his view the City Council cannot look at each one of these businesses separately <br /> because they share the parking. Johnson asked what decibels the heaters put out. <br /> Barnhart indicated he does not have that information. <br /> Johnson commented that might be something worth looking into since there have been noise ordinance <br /> violations in the past on this site. Johnson noted the information submitted by the applicant does not <br /> contain any reference to the decibels. <br /> Walsh stated he would be interested in a detailed site plan depicting the parking to ensure the parking is <br /> correct. <br /> Johnson stated a detailed parking plan does not exist and that the parking should be specifically identified. <br /> In addition,the City Council should factor in that there are residential homes utilizing the same parking <br /> that is supposed to be for the marina since one house is being rented out and that it appears they are <br /> Page 10 of 12 <br />
