Hugh Harrison Subdivision Dale Matson Street Vacation The Planning Commission tabled their discussion on this Transfer of Credits item to allow further investigation. It.was felt that this Lakeshore Setbacks would be part of a comprehensive zoning ordinance and, therefore, did not have to be discussed immediately. Because of the late date, the Planning Commission felt that it would be impossible to make the Marina operators comply with all sections of the zoning ordinance imnediately. Some requirements, such as parking standards, should be enforced and safety standards should be established to protect people using ;marinas on some of the busy thoroughfares. Require- ments such as front yard standards, fencing or screening or the issue of on -land storage cannot be discussed or ad equately researched before the opening of the 1974 boating season. Curtis moved, Kullberg seconded that marinas be - granted their . 1974 licenses approving last year's quota of slips. All code requirements must'be met within 45 days or the licenses will be revoked. The motion was withdrawn. Pesek left the Council Chambers at 11:20 P.m..' Kallestad moved, Elliott seconded that the Planning CommisT sion grant conceptual approval for the marina licenses using L.M.C.D. and City standards regarding parking and dock set- backs with the most restrictive of these requirements pre- vailing. These standards will be used in determining the number of water slips and all on -land storage will be limited to the number of slips that were approved in 1973. Ayes (6) Nays (0).
