PLANNING COMMISSION
VILLAGE OF'ORONO MAY 16, 1966
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 P.M. CALL TO ORDER
by Chairman D. J. Russell. Members present
were: William A. Curry, R. P. Dongoski and
W. H. Mills, Jr. Absent: H. S. Rice
The Chair announced that this'was the time
and place for a Public Hearing regarding
a Special Use Permit for Ski, Tonka.
The subsequent hearing revealed some op-
position from two or three owners of ad-
jacent property. It also revealed strong
support from several Orono citizens in-
terested in skiing and those who pointed
out the need for winter recreational
facilities in Orono, including a repre-
sentative of the Orono Park Commission.
The Planning Commission concurs in the
opinion that a recreational skiing facility
would be desirable in Orono and it appears
that this particular piece of property is
the only one in Orono suitable for such a-
development.
It was moved by Curry, seconded by Mills,
that the Planning Commission recommend
that the Special. Use Permit-be granted
subject to the following restrictions:
1. In the opinion of the Village
Engineer and Inspector adequate sewage
facilities' are provided.
2. That Mr. Primus present an. accurate
scale drawing showing property he owns
and location of existing and proposed
facilities including a chalet, toms,
parking area and access road. It'is also
suggested that aerial photos be made.
3. That hours of operation be restricted
to the period from down to midnight with
actual skiing stopped not later than 11:00
P.M.
4. That it be clearly understood in
advance than the serving of beer or
alcoholic beverages on this property will
not be permitted.
The motion passed unanimously.
