As shown on the building plan view, in addition to a restroom inside the building for <br />employees/customers, the building will be equipped with two, disability-accessible <br />restrooms (male and female) for use by the marina slip rental customers. The <br />restrooms will be connected to the sanitary sewer and will be accessed from exterior <br />doors on the east side of the building. These restrooms will replace the porta-potties <br />adjacent to the parking lot which will be removed from the site. A sanitary cleanout will <br />be located along the building to provide a discharge for a portable head cleanout <br />system which will be utilized at the site for the slip rental customers. The portable <br />sanitary facilities on the Tanager Lake side of the property will be improved by installing <br />a wooden, 3-sided, 8-foot high enclosure around them which will shield them from view <br />from County Road 15. This structure will be stained or painted a natural tone. <br />Genmar will lease the site to a dealer to sell Genmar boat products and manage the <br />marina. We are currently nego;.ating a lease with a dealer who has a major marina <br />operation in the east metropolitan area. The dealer would sell boats and a small <br />number of parts and manage the marina. Of the existing 111 slips on Minnetonka, the <br />operator would use the twelve slips closest to the building for in-water boat displays. <br />These slips would no longer be rental slips which would result in less activity at the site. <br />We propose to increase the existing parking lot by 3 stalls (71 total stalls). We have <br />also included information regarding a 10 stall increase (78 total stalls). As discussed in <br />a later section, there is a traoeoff in hardcover for the increases in the number of stalls. <br />The operator would display up to six boats on the property between the lake and the <br />building in the area presently covered by the east end of the existing building. This <br />area will be returned to green space. The boats would be stored on trailers. <br />Alternatively, some of the additional parking stalls that would be added could be used <br />for the display area. This is discussed in a later section. <br />The operator does not intend to establish permanent facilities for the performance of oil <br />changes, maintenance or other significant boat-service related functions on the <br />property. The property is currently authorized for this activity. The operator may <br />conduct some light boat prep to ready the boat for delivery such as light assemblyJ.e., <br />installation of a rail, fly bridge or prop replacement. The operator will not be open on <br />Sundays during the boating season. With the exception of the items listed above, the <br />marina would continue to be operated as currently authorized. <br />In the future, the property will not be utilized for winter storage of boats as it is currently <br />used. <br />Changes From the Previous Proposal <br />This section identifies the modifications incorporated into this proposal from the <br />previous proposal submitted October 25, 1996 (Application #2195). The modifications <br />include: <br />• Provision of sanitary facilities to serve boat slip customers. Thus, no variance to <br />Section 10.41, Subd. 11(A) will be required. <br />• Expansion of the parking lot on the east side of County Road 15 to either 71 or 78 <br />parking stalls (addition of 3 or 10 stalls). Thus, no variance to Section 10.41, Subd. 8 <br />will be required. This is further detailed in the next section. <br />• As part of changes to the existing east side parking lot, the existing stormwater basin <br />will be expanded to meet NURP standards.
