f B-2 Zoning Amendment - Proposed Changes February 26, 1986 Page 3 of 3 J. Residential Use of Structures. One caretaker residence unit shall be allowed under a conditional use permit, f or purposes of security. The caretaker residence unit shall meet all bu-ilding code and fire code requirements. The caretaker unit shall not be a rental unit and shall be allowed only in conjunction with use which is currently. approved under a B-2 conditional use permit. The residence structure shall meet all Yard and setback requirements for a principal structure in the B-2 district. Although in past licensing practice the existing mixed use of B-2 property has been somewhat ignored, it does exist i.e, a) "caretaker" apartm^nt above the Minnetonka Boat Works building; b) 2 (or 3) residences on the North Shore Drive Marina property, c) Chaska Marina's two non-contiguous properties with houses. In reviewing this, staff considered that security can be a problem on B-2 property, given the high dollar value of the watercraft and equipment stored, and that allowing a single caretaker unit for security purposes is logical on a limited basis. Subd. 5, Parking Requirements. Revise Subd. 5(D) as follows: D. The required parking spaces may not be separated by a public roadway from the dock, a storage space, mooring space, floor space, or ramp they are designed to serve, nor shall. required arkinq spaces be separated from such dock, stora-le space, mooring space, floor space, or ramp by an adjacent privately owned property where such _arrangement forces pedestrian tr ffic either onto city rilht-of-wayk or onto said privately owned property. Add Subd. 5 (G) as follows: G. Parking s aces des11 ated f or use by employees sha 1 1 be exclusive of and in addition to the required parking spaces._ These t.-.o performance standard sections are included as a result of the Chaska Marina problem with the two non-contiguous properties to the west. The origi?ia i Subd. 5 (D) prohibits the required parking spaces from being across a public -:oad from the area they serve; the additional wording prohibits :.;uch spaces from being locates: in a manner that encourages unsafe or unlawful pedestrian traffic. Note that this does not appear, to prohibit the "non -required" or "e,nployee" parking spaces from being on such detached parcels. Perhaps this is a matter for discus! -ion.
