REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: April 7,1999 <br />Item No.: <br />Department Approval: Administrator Approval: <br />Name: Michael P. Gaffron <br />Title: Senior Planning Coordinator <br />Agenda Section: <br />Zoning <br />Item Description: King's Cove Marina, 1449 Shoreline Drive - <br />Request for Temporary Above-Ground Gasoline Teink <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - King's Cove Mechanical Permit Application <br />B - System Description <br />C - Site Map - Proposed Location v <br />D - Code Section 9.34 - Fire Protection and Prevention <br />Staff is in receipt of a permit request today from King's Cove Marina for a temporary above-ground <br />gasoline storage tank. The intended use is to fuel new boats being sold at the property. We have not <br />licensed King's Cove for fuel sales, although that is an allowed use in the B-2 zone. They don't <br />intend to sell fuel to the public. <br />Apparently the new boats for sale arrive at the site without fuel, and in the past King's Cove has <br />fueled them directly from a tank truck, which can lead to a number of potential problems, such as <br />spillage due to the limited ability to slow the flow from such trucks to a rate that can be used to fill <br />vehicle tanks. <br />Jon Mayer of Mayer Distributing in Long Lake is proposing a 560-gallon above-ground tank to be <br />located in a parking stall next to the boat lift. The tank is approximately 4' wide, 6' long and 4' high. <br />It would be delivered in the spring and removed in the fall. <br />There are a number of issues which staff has not yet had a chance to fully address, including: <br />A below ground tank at least 75' from the lake would be allowed at this B-2 site, <br />subject to meeting all Federal and State regulations. <br />The proposed above-ground tank takes up a parking stall, or at least a portion of one; <br />staffs recollection is that the marina has no excess stalls to give up; <br />The Zoning Code doesn't allow structures or hardcover within 75' of the lake; <br />Code Section 9.34 does not allow above-ground tanks in the B-2 Commercial District <br />nor in any of our commercial districts, nor in some of our residential districts;
