MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 14,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 23. RENTAL LICENSE 1440-1442 SHORELINE DRIVE—Continued <br /> intensification of use,he would like to know where the City's definition of intensification of use comes <br /> from. <br /> Crosby commented Mr.Johnson has made some valid points and that the City Attomey needs to look into <br /> it. <br /> Johnson stated he is growing tired of this situation,but that his last point is that he has been made to feel <br /> when he brings a complaint that he is a problem citizen and that he is wasting Stai�'s time. Johnson <br /> stated the truth is that Staff is wasting his time and that he is stuck here trying to find a solution and <br /> spending money on legal fees to try to understand his legal rights. Johnson stated they are bad stewards <br /> and need to play within the rules. Johnson stated the prior decisions tried to limit the use in the past but <br /> that the City needs to reel it back in. <br /> Johnson requested Staff display the pictures he submitted. Johnson noted the first two pictures are from <br /> today and were not staged. The other picture is from Saturday when he heard screeching tires for the <br /> hundredth time. Johnson noted the area is full of boats for sale, which is typical, and the pontoon to the <br /> left is clearly parked on the area where the screening is supposed to be. Johnson noted they removed <br /> some of the rock so the pontoon can be rolled over. The cars are double stacked on the residential <br /> property that is going to be a rental property. <br /> Johnson indicated the last picture shows three cars parking on top of the crosswalk on the road. Johnson <br /> noted that picture was taken on Saturday. The boat down at the end is a River Valley&Power Sports <br /> boat that is parked partially in the street and was backed down the street. Johnson stated he also has a <br /> video about some guy complaining that it happens every time he goes by the marina. Johnson stated <br /> River Valley was just recognized as one of the top 100 dealers in the nation and that a typical marina has <br /> a certain amount of activity but that this is all year long at this site. <br /> Johnson encouraged the City Council to continue to table the rental application so they do not get into <br /> another hole. Johnson stated in his view there is not any onus on the City to hurry on this application. <br /> Walsh commented there are a number of issues that should be looked into. <br /> Mattick stated the City Council has to ask themselves if they are denying it for other people's <br /> transgressions. Mattick stated he does not know the answer to who owns what. <br /> Crosby stated they need to look deeper into the variances and conditional use perxnit and what was <br /> expected and still enforceable. <br /> Mattick stated if the concern is with the conditional use permit and the variance,he can look at it. The <br /> next question is,based on what is found as part of the conditional use permit and variance approvals, does <br /> any of that impact the City's ability to deny the rental licenses. Mattick stated currently Staff cannot see <br /> how those two can be tied together. <br /> Crosby stated the rental license requires four more vehicles and if they are at capacity right now,the City <br /> has to ask where those four parking stalls are going to come from. <br /> Page 13 of 16 <br />
