1999 Marina Licenses December 9,1999 Page 6 the years, with the dual intent of keeping the level of site use commensurate with the site capacity so there is no burden on adjoining landowners nor on the public roadways; while maintaining site accessibility for general use and emergency purposes. Ancillary activities that have occurred in the past at some marinas such as fishing contests, charter boat activity and various 'special events ’ tend to create periods where the marinas outstrip their capacity and negatively impact the neighborhood. In general, the marinas tend to be busiest during either end of the season when boats are either being dropped in or hauled out, and on fair-weather weekends throughout the summer. A perhaps secondary issue for the City has been the burden on the lake itself as boats have become larger and faster, and the methods for providing lake access have become more innovative (dry stacking, boat clubs, etc.). However, in recent years the City has primarily focused on land-use issues and left the larger issue of lake use to the LMCD. Staff has pretty much left the marinas alone for the past few years, responding to complaints if and when they arise, but not really picking away at the little problems that we could find with each marina if we looked harder. In 1999 we have made progress toward greater fire code compliance. Council may wish to advise staff whether there are any specific concerns that you wish staff to pursue with greater vigor.
