L. 41 ESHO°' From: Melanie Curtis, Planner i'Y1GG Date: 19 August 2019 Subject: #LA19-000057,Jessica Johnson o/b/o Wayzata Country Club, 200 Wayzata Blvd; Project Site Address:430 Old Long Lake Rd CUP Amendment;Variances Public Hearing Application Summary: The applicant requests setback variances for proposed accessory buildings; a variance to the limit of oversized accessory buildings; and a variance from the maximum total square footage of accessory buildings in conjunction with an amendment to the existing Golf Course CUP to construct new accessory buildings. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval. Background The Wayzata Country Club is requesting approvals in order to replace two, outdated and undersized maintenance buildings. The two building are located along the western edge of the property, closest to the Luce Line trail. Currently there is a 3,300 square foot cold storage building on the north side of the Luce Line Trail. Wayzata Country Club proposes to construct a new, 8,000 square foot building for cold storage to be placed in the same general location. On the south side of the trail,there are existing buildings/storage container structures which occupy approximately 8,500 square feet.These buildings/structures consist of a garage,wash bay with chemical storage, and storage containers for equipment storage. In their place, WCC proposes to construct an 9,111 square foot building which will include a wash bay,storage, break room, repair shop, maintenance office and equipment storage. This building will be situated into the hill to screen its mass, activities, and impact from the residential properties to the west. See the applicant's narrative for a full description of the proposed improvements and uses (Exhibit F). The golf course use is located within the RR-1B, 2-acre residential zoning district and is permitted through a conditional use permit (CUP). Improvements and changes to the site and use must be addressed through the CUP amendment process. Additionally the Code restrictions for"residential" accessory buildings are not conducive to the needs of a golf course use. Therefore due to the size, number, and location of the proposed buildings and improvements, variances are required.
