MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,April 23,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 5. APPROVAL OF RENTAL LICENSES—Continued <br /> Johnson stated in his opinion there is overuse of the site and adding this extra rental property will only <br /> intensify the use. Johnson noted there already is a parking problem on the site and that he hopes the City <br /> enforces what is required for this property,especially as it relates to parking. <br /> Walsh stated the City has never had a true delineated parking plan for this site and that it should be <br /> delineated out as it relates to the rental and overflow. <br /> Rief stated he is not sure the ordinance requires that and that he would recommend those two properties <br /> be tabled until that review can be completed. Rief stated the City's license process does not require Staff <br /> to checking the parking. <br /> Seals stated to her recollection the rental ordinance contained a parking provision. <br /> Rief stated as of two days ago the City has not issued a Certificate of Occupancy for 1440. <br /> Crosby stated it is being used commercially and the parking needs to be resolved once and for all. <br /> Walsh stated he would like to table those two properties until a thorough review can be done. <br /> Seals asked how many boats Your Boat Club has. <br /> Johnson stated the conditional use permit allows 20 boat stalls for their use. <br /> Seals stated if you look at the map,there does not appear to be enough parking on the marina site. <br /> Walsh stated Staff is unable to answer some of those questions tonight and that it would be best if the <br /> City Council tabled those two properties. <br /> Seals stated she would like a list of the requirements included in the future so the Council knows what <br /> they are looking at for each property. <br /> Crosby asked why they were not fined for failing to obtain the necessary permits. <br /> Rief stated it is within the building official's discretion. <br /> Johnson commented he wants to make sure everyone is treated equally,and that he has sat through a City <br /> Council meeting where someone came in to get a deck permit and the City told him it would be over two <br /> weeks to get the permit. Johnson stated that property owner then went ahead and did it over the weekend <br /> and the City gave him a double fine. As it relates to the 1440 property,they were able to get their permit <br /> approved in a couple of days and were not assessed a double permit fee. Johnson stated the Council has <br /> to be mindful that one thing affects the rest of the folks. <br /> Crosby stated the City needs to be consistent. <br /> Seals recommended the City Council review the policy at a future work session. <br /> Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to approve the rental licenses listed in the April 23,2018,Staff <br /> report,with the tabling of 1440 and 1442 Shoreline Drive.
