<br /> LAKESHORE COMMERCIAL LAND USE
<br /> Lake access and lake user service businesses are appropriate for a lakeside
<br /> community and require a lakeshore location. Special performance standards are
<br /> necessary to assure protection of the lake environment and protection of
<br /> neighboring properties.
<br /> The primary purpose is to permit those functions that are directly necessary to
<br /> support normal lake-use activities such as boat launching, boat service, boat
<br /> repairs and fishing supplies. Retail activities including boat sales will be
<br /> permitted to the extent that such uses will not overburden a particular site in terms
<br /> of parking, storage, etc. Accessory functions such as parking, winter storage and
<br /> caretaker facilities will be appropriate in the lakeshore commercial areas.
<br /> One lakeshore commercial area is indicated on the Land Use Plan along Maxwell
<br /> Bay where resorts and marinas have historically existed. Sanitary sewer is
<br /> available for boat sanitation purposes. Expansion of the existing facilities is
<br /> limited however by surrounding residential neighborhoods, lack of public
<br /> transportation, and environmental constraints including a crowded bay. In recent
<br /> years, one of 3 marinas historically developed at this location has been converted
<br /> to a public boat landing with 70-plus car-trailer parking stalls, operated by the
<br /> MnDNR. The remaining two marinas are separated from each other by a number
<br /> of residentially used parcels, which act to limit the expansion of these marinas.
<br /> Additional lakeshore commercial facilities have long existed along County Road
<br /> 15 north of Tanager Lake Bridge and also near the intersection of County Roads
<br /> 15 and 5 L These facilities each present unique problems due to their
<br /> � configuration and location along, and in 2 of 3 cases on either side of, County
<br /> Road 15. County Road 15 is designated in the City's transportation plan as a
<br /> "Scenic Parkway", but this busy 2-lane roadway functions more as a minor
<br /> arterial highway, with traffic levels and speeds that suggest it should be a 4-lane,
<br /> limited access roadway. This presents ongoing difficulties for the two existing
<br /> marinas on Tanager Lake where facilities including rental boat slips are located
<br /> on both sides of County Road 15, forcing dangerous pedestrian crossing
<br /> movements. Options for establishing additional parking areas to minimize the
<br /> pedestrian crossings are limited by topography, traffic sightlines and lakeshore
<br /> proximity.
