u Zoning File #1011 March 12, 1986 Page 2 of 3 Daytime attendants will be assigned to the island during the summer season. The applicant's addendum notes that attendants will be provided as necessary during the following periods: ice out to Memorial Day and Labor Day to ice in. Applicant must explain the types of uses proposed and need for attendants - maybe needed for security purposes? The City must know the dates of operation. Planning Commission may wish to recommend a reasonable use time period. Gaffron has reviewed the septic test results and confirms adequate area for a septic system designed to handle 75-125 users per day. Applicant will abandon well and construct a new well. Staff has been informed that a site plan will be provided at out meeting locating the 30' X 30' gazebo structure within the defined building envelope. Review exhibit H that designates the actual building envelope: based on the area of the building envelope at 22,332 s.f., hardcover will be limited at 5,583 s.f. The septic area has been designated within the defined improvement envelope - see exhibit I. The Building Dept. advises that, per Section 10.301 (C) exhibit C, the 900 s.f. structure must be sprinkled. The proposed improvements on the island will create limited amounts of hardcover. The structure 900 s.f. - all picnic, volleyball or game ares will be on natural ground cover. Hardcover will be no problem. Dock slips will be limited to 38 slips based on l slip per 50 feet of shoreline. Both the City and LMCD will require a joint use dock license. Review of the Area Variance The subject property was classified as a conforming record lot at 6.5 acres in area. The dry buildable area is confirmed at 2.65 acres with an updated boundary survey - exhibit K. The ordinance states that the subject property may be used for any permitted or conditional use in the RS district. The applicant reminds us that there are no other lands available. The limits placed by the DNR in the rip rap of shoreline will allow no more than 2.5 to 3 feet reclamation of eroded shore lands. Rip rap will never make up the loss of 2.35 acres of area. Is the proposed level of 75 users to given area acceptable? Section 10.31 Subdivision 3 (C) (1) recommends a 1 acre per 20 users ratio. Staf f recommends that user level remain at 53 if variance is to be granted. Findings for Approval 1. RS ordinance designates the property as conforming and may be used for Day Use Recreation Area. 2, Old surveys of the island conf i rin that the property contained 6+ acres in area when platted in early 1900's. 3. Hennepin County tax records show the island with 6+ acres in area.
