AGENDA ITEM are permitted uses in the B-2 zoning District. Your Boat Club, by virtue of being a boat club, is a conditional use. Only River Valley Power and Sport is requesting the use of the tent. The expansion of a permitted use, temporary or long term, is permissible following review of a site plan. A condition is recommended to expressly prohibit the Boat Club from having a presence in the sales tent. Parking. The uses of the three tenants on the property require 70 spaces in the summer, and 15* (open spaces) in the winter. Parking requirements and provided parking is summarized in Exhibit C. The applicants have provided parking plans based on aerial photography, Exhibit B. Staff completed its' own analysis based on the to -scale site plans accepted as part of the Boat Club application, Exhibit D. The gravel lots to the east of the sales operation can support 17 "legal" spaces. Legal spaces defined as 9' by 20', with an adjacent 24 foot wide aisle. It is understood that historically more vehicles are parking in that lot than are shown by staff. Additional legal spaces can be found on the adjacent residential lots (13), and in the triangular shaped gravel area north of the gazebo (5). The adjusted parking requirement is 18 spaces (15 spaces = 20% of the total required, plus 3 more for the tent parking (1/800 sq ft)). The parking synopsis shows that the parking requirements of all three commercial entities, and the two residential parcels can be satisfied via the existing parking. *City code reduces the number of parking stalls required by Marina/ sales uses in winter. Winter parking rules require at least 20% of the "required off street parking" spaces remain open for winter use; boats may be stored on 80% of the parking areas. The proposed site plan meets the parking requirements imposed by the City Code and previous approvals. Noise levels. The noise levels of the heaters was questioned. The supplier has indicated that the decibel reading at 3 feet is 71 decibels. 70 decibels is comparable the sound of a vacuum cleaner, or a department store, Exhibit E. 3. Staff Recommendation. Because the proposal meets the requirements for use, parking, and other applicable city ordinances, Staff recommends approval of the temporary site plan/ special event permit subject to the following conditions: A. At least 18 spaces must be preserved for retail sales parking. B. Written permission from the owner of 1442 and 1440 Shoreline Drive must be provided to use these spaces. 1442 and 1440 may be used for parking, but not boat storage. C. Sales functions may not occur after 10 pm. D. No repair or similar service may take place in the tent. E. Tent shall meet all applicable fire and building codes. F. Tent shall be removed and site restored no later than March 30, 2017. G. Your Boat Club or its affiliates may not have a presence in the tent. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Prepared By: J.
