MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, February 16, 201.6 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />recommended Item No. 2 say "comply with all applicable codes, including those regarding fire" rather <br />than regarding fire. <br />Thiesse asked if the City wants the trash collection concealed. <br />Barnhart stated it would be no more than what is already required. Barnhart noted during the discussion <br />there was some thought about removing Articles 3, 6, 9 and 13. Barnhart indicated he did not remove <br />those yet to help facilitate the discussion tonight. <br />Thiesse asked if Item No. 13 would be changed to licensee. <br />Landgraver stated it would still result in the same problem since the City does not know if someone has <br />set up a living bust and they have transferred the title to a corporation. Landgraver stated a living trust is <br />clearly for the benefit of the person living there and the City is saying that isn't allowed. Landgraver <br />stated in his view corporations perhaps should not be allowed but that there are probably properties in <br />Orono that are in a living trust. <br />Thiesse stated he does not want someone to have to call the number for a corporation. <br />Schoenzeit noted liquor licenses require the listing of a manager or a live person that should be contacted <br />in the event of a problem. <br />Leskinen recommended the requirement for the owner's name be taken out since the deed on the property <br />could say the name of a trust. Leskinen stated for homestead purposes there needs to be a whole separate <br />document filed in order for a trust to be listed. <br />Schoenzeit stated the owner's representative needs to be identified. <br />Lemke asked if anyone else has problems with No. 3. <br />Thiesse stated he does since the City has at least two people that are complying with everything else but it <br />is not their primary residence. <br />Landgraver stated in his view there are two situations, one on Big Island and then everybody else. <br />Landgraver noted if you are on Big Island, is it considered recreational property. <br />McGrann questioned how the City can stop someone if they want to buy a property in Orono as a rental. <br />Barnhart stated the City could simply require a license. <br />Schoenzeit noted the Your Boat Club rents out two homes already and they are not registered. Schoenzeit <br />stated in his view this is a slippery slope and that the City should simply enforce their nuisance <br />regulations. <br />Leskinen stated if they strip everything out of the draft ordinance that they know is already addressed in <br />City Code to some level, they would essentially be asking potential people to register their property as a <br />rental property so that the City is aware the property could potentially be rented. Leskinen stated in her <br />opinion it is more of a registration than a license. <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
