to permit a boat club use to operate at the commercial property per Municipal Zoning Code
Section 78-666(1); and
WHEREAS, the commercial property has for many years been operated as a

FINDINGS
l. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #11-3501.
2. The commercial property is located in the B-2 Lakeshore Business District and
comprises approximately 0.66 acres in area. Additionally, the portion of the
residential property located east of Shoreline Drive is used for marina purposes and is
zoned B-2, comprising an additional approximately 0.10 acres. The total area zoned
_ B-2 and used for marina purposes is approximately 0.76 acres.

3. The portion of the residential property west of Shoreline Drive is zoned LR-lA
Lakeshore Residential District comprising approximately 0.37 acres in area, of which
approximately 50' x 110' or 0.13 acre has been historically used for marina parking.
4. On March 21, 2011 the Orono Planning Commission reviewed the application as
proposed and voted 4-1 to recommend denial of the application based on the lack of
sufficient information to guarantee the number of parking stalls available to serve the
marina and boat club uses, but to change that recommendation to one of approval if
the applicant submits further evidence to staff to demonstrate that the combined use
of the marina and boat club will comply with the parking regulations of Section 78-
668 and staff finds that the objective requirements of that section are met and
adequate parking is available at the site.
5. The City Council makes the following findings of fact regarding this application:
a. Resolution No. 2674 adopted by the City Council on August 14, 1989
documented the availability of 73 total parking stalls on the commercial and
residential properties falling 4 stalls short of the 77 stalls determined to be
required by code for the marina use at that time under the approved site plan,
and a 4-stall variance was granted.
b. The zoning code does not currently establish an incremental parking
requirement for the boat club conditional use.
c. Council finds that operation of a boat club use does not require additional
parking over and above the level required for marina use if the boat club is
operated in an appropriate manner.
d. Changes in the marina operation at this site since 1989 have resulted in fewer
boat slips on the water, with the current number of required parking stalls
being calculated as follows:
Total slips on water: 97
Total slips devoted to retail sales/display/service operation: 6
Net available rental slips: 91 slips x 0.6 stalls required per slip = 54.6 stalls
Additional stalls required for sales/service operation: 8 stalls
Additional stalls required for area of building > 1000 s.f.: 3 stalls
Additional stalls required for employee parking: 4 stalls (nominal)
Total stalls required per current code= 54.6+8.p+3.0+4.0=69.6 =70 stalls

`9k'Es8�4' No. __,�;�n,�.��
e. The number of available parking stalls is as follows:
Tanager Lake side of CR15: 24 paved,marked stalls at 1444 Shoreline
26 unmarked gravel stalls at 1440-42 Shoreline
Browns Bay side of CR 15: 26 unmarked stalls in rectangular gravel parking lot
5 potential parking stalls in triangular gravel area
Total Available Stalls in areas previously approved for parking: 76 stalls
Additional potential stalls not previously approved for parking: 5 stalls
f. The City Council finds that the number of available parking stalls exceeds the
required number of stalls for the proposed marina and boat club operation.
g. Applicant's analysis of parking needs for the boat club use suggests that the nature
of the boat club business is self-limiting, to the extent that proper site management
resulting in club customers having no difficulties parking at �he site is critical to
maintaining the customer base. The applicant has acknowledged that there is no
additional parking available on nearby roadways and has indicated that off-site
parking is not part of his intended business plan but may be used on occasion in a
worst-case scenario. The Council finds that formally establishing an off-site
parking requirement to serve the boat club use is neither desirable nor warranted.
. h. The location of this marina on both sides of Shoreline Drive creates a situation in
which it is necessary to make all reasonable attempts to limit the need for pedestrian
crossing of the public road.
i. The 1989 approval for use of parking stalls located on the adjacent residential
property was predicated on the common ownership of those residential parcels with
the marina property. The recent changes in ownership which have resulted in the
residential property being in separate ownership from the commercial property
require establishment of a legal relationship to ensure the continued viability of this
parking arrangement.
j. The Council finds that it would be appropriate to establish a limit at this time to the
number of slips allowed to be devoted to boat club use, because of the lack of data
and unpredictability of the parking needs for the boat club use. The property owner
could apply for an amendment of the CUP in the future to request additional boat
club usage, which would be reviewed on its merits at that time.

6. The City Council finds that granting a conditional use permit to allow a boat club use at
1444 Shoreline Drive will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the
public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to
neighboring properties, nor will its use depreciate surrounding property values and that the
proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the
Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City.
7. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and
recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the
applicant and the effect of the proposed conditional use permit on the health, safety and
welfare of the community.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby
grants a conditional use permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-666 to allow a boat club use
at 1444 Shoreline Drive subject to the following conditions:
1. This approval shall not become effective until the City Attorney has approved the
documentation establishing the permanent right for the marina to use parking area on the
residential properties.
2. Operator(s) of the marina and boat club shall endeavor to have customer parking occur on
the same side of Shoreline Drive as the boat being accessed, to avoid pedestrian crossings
of Shoreline Drive.
3. No more than 20 slips may be devoted to boat club use. An amendment of this conditional
use permit will be required in order to exceed this number.
4. Applicant and owner are advised that the only allowed commercial use of the residential
property west of Shoreline Drive is for parking, and that the residence buildings on the
residential property may not be used for commercial purposes.
5. The original approvals for redevelopment of this site in 1989 required establishment of rock
beds at the lakeward end of the two main parking areas for trapping sediment and debris
from the site. The properly owner shall clean out and rebuild these structures as necessary
_ to continue their effectiveness
