EXHIBIT D& E Exhibit 1 to Variance Appiication-Genmar Industries, Inc. Genmar proposes to remove the existing building at the property known as the Minnetonka Boatworks, 1449 Shoreline Drive, Oronc, Minnesota and replace it with a smaller building. Genmar also proposes to increase the number of parking stalls, provide sanitary facilities to the boating slip renters (restrooms and a pumpout system), construct an enclosure around the portable sanitary facilities on the Tanager Lake side, and increase the size of the present stormwater runoff basin to meet NURP standards. Existing Conditions. The current building occupies a building footprint of approximately 30 feet by 80 feet. It is a two-story building and is approximately 4000 square feet in size. The lakeward portion of the building is located approximately 20 feet from Lake Minnetonka, the portion of the building fronting on Highway 15 is located approximately 12 feet from the property line and the side of the building is located approximately 15 feet from the property line. The current building is authorized for storage and light boat maintenance. Genmar currently has 68 authorized parking spaces to accompany 111 rented marina slips and the building. Proposal 1. Building Dimensions and Setback. The proposed building is greatly reduced in size from the existing building. It will occupy a footprint approximately 24 feet by 48 feet with a roofed canopy at the entrance approximately 5 feet by 24 feet. The building will be one story and approximately 1,152 square feet. Because of the reduced size of the building, we will be able to improve the setback from the lake by 27 feet and from Highway 15 by 5 feet. We propose to place the new building on the current side setback. We have attached a copy of an artist ’s rendering of the exterior of the building which should replace the previously submitted sketch identified as Exijibit K in the city’s November 15, 1996 memorandum. The building will be served by the existing well on the property and existing city sewer connection. The existing building will be demolished prior to placement of the new building. The present building is equipped with a basement which is located under the western 1/3 of the building. The basement will be filled and existing utility connections appropriately routed to service the new building. The building will be a wood-framed structure designed and built by Lester Building Systems. The building will be built slab-on-grade, wood framed with sheetrocked walls, and equipped with a cedar lap siding exterior. The building layout along with side and end-elevaticn views, and an isometric view are provided and should replace the previously submitted Exhibit J. 2. Building and Site Use. The proposed building will be used for boat sales. It will have two offices, a storage room, reception area and a restroom. We have attached a preliminary fioorplan for the building. The maximum number of employees at the site at any time will be three; two salespersons and a receptionist.
