while still allowing the intended residential development to occur. In <br />order to be compatible with the planned residential use to the north. <br />"big box" retail uses are discouraged in this area, with an appropriate <br />scale of development being in the range of no more than 25.000- <br />35.000 s.f. per individual building. <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 neighboring <br />properl.ws, <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 repairs <br />and fishing supplies. Lakeshore commercial areas are not intended for typical retail <br />activities, including boat sales, which could be accomplished away from the lake. <br />Accessory functions such as parking, winter storage and caretaker facilities will be <br />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 available <br />for boat sanitation purposes. Expansion of the existing facilities is limited however <br />by surrounding residential neighborhoods, lack of public transportation, and <br />environmental constraints including a crowded bay. Therefore, only the one <br />wwMi nppfnpwHtc for dedication to this use. In recent years, <br />one of 3 marinas historically develof^d at this location has been converted to a public <br />boat landing with 70-plus car-trailer parking stalls, operated bv the MnDNR. The <br />remaining two marinas are separated from each other bv a number of residentially <br />used parcels, which act to limit the expansion of these marinas. <br />Additional lakeshore commercial facilities do exist have long existed along County <br />Road 15 north of Tanager Lake Bridge and also near the intersection of County <br />Roads 15 and 51. This area has fewer transportation and environmental problems <br />than Maxwell Boy, but it is not designated in this Plan for eommcrcial use bceause <br />municipal sewer and other urban serviees are not available. This area would be <br />considered for future lakeshore eommereial designation should sanitary sewer <br />n^.nilnblp pmjpeipH in the CfiPP Facilities Plan.These facilities each <br />present unique problems due to their configuration and location along, and in 2 of <br />3 cases on either side of. Countv Road 15. Countv Road 15 is designated in the <br />City's transportation plan as a ’’.Scenic Parkway", but this busy 2-lane roadway <br />functions more as a minor arterial highway, with ti jfllc levels and speeds that suggest <br />it should he a 4-lane, limited access roadwav. This presents ongoing difficulties for <br />CMP 3B - 33
