1999 Marina Licenses <br />December 9, 1999 <br />Page 3 <br />B. Genmar Industries/King's Cove - Orono Site <br />Genmar/King's Cove provides 66 rental slips on Tanager Lake and 48 slips on Browns Bay <br />of which 36 are rental and 12 are used for boats for sale. Facilities include 71 parking stalls <br />on the Browns Bay side of County Road 15. This site underwent major renovation in 1997, <br />including replacement of the old storage building with a smaller office and restroom facility, <br />upgrade of landscaping, a slight increase in parking and a major expansion of the stormwater <br />pond. <br />No activities occurring at the site require a conditional use permit. Applicants are currently <br />in compliance with the seven operational standards and the conditions of approval of the <br />recent renovation approval resolution #3835. Staff had a brief discussion with King ’s Cove <br />in 1999 regarding the potential relocation of slips devoted to sales use, but no changes have <br />been requested. <br />Staff recommends approval of a 1999 marina license for Genmar/King ’s Cove. <br />C. Sailor's World <br />Sailor's World operates a ship's store, boat club (CUP issued 1995), and rents slips, with a <br />current dock capacity of 79 boats. <br />This marina was reconstructed in the early 1990's, and the only outstanding work remaining <br />to be done as of last year is landscaping. While it appears landscaping work has finally been <br />completed, staff has not had a chance to do ? final inspection. The mobile storage building <br />has apparently also been moved to a less visible location on the site, which appears to be a <br />positive improvement but may require City approval. The owner is pursuing an upgrade of <br />his signage which may also require Council approval. <br />.Activities occurring on this site which require ongoing attention by the property owner in <br />order to remain in compliance with the seven operation standards include: managing parking <br />facilities, including the use of the Minnetonka Art Center for overflow parking to avoid <br />parking and traffic problems, keeping the storage of boats and other items out of the <br />designated landscape areas, and keeping the site neat and orderly. <br />Staff recommends approval of a 1999 marina license for Sailor’s World.
