Zoning File m95 November 15, 1996 Page 5 side of the road as the parking. While this additional parking area adjacent to Tanager Lake would clearly benefit slip customers who now must walk (dash) across County Road 15, the impacts of creating that parking lot may be significant. Hardcover Applicants have provided hardcover calculations separately for the east and west side of County Road 15. The property east of County Road 15 contains 81,220 s.f., of which 69,044 s.f. is in the 0-75' setback zone. Existing 0-75' hardcover is 36.9%. Proposed 0-75' hardcover leduces to 35.4%, but a portion of this proposed reduction is in an area proposed to be used for boat display. The non-hardcover status of area used for boat display is questionable. Likewise, existing 75-250' hardcover is 73.9% which will be reduced to 72.2%. The net overall result is a proposed reduction of 1,301 s.f, bringing the property slightly nearer conformity. Lack of Sanitary Facilities The zoning code has long required that marinas provide sanitary facilities connected to public sanitary sewer where available. This marina has had sewer available since the early 1980's but has never complied with this requirement, only providing portable toilets on each side of the road for slip customers. Further, the code was revised in 1995 to require provision of head pumpout facilities and a porta-potty dump station. Agam, this marina has not provided those facilities at this site. The proposed boat sales/office building contains a single restroom which is clearly intended to serve just the employees and sales customers, not the slip customers (remember, this building is proposed to be closed on Sundays). The applicant should be required to provide the appropriate sanitary facilities if slip rental is intended to continue at this location. Stormwater Facilities While no changes are proposed to the existing parking lot, that parking lot was designed under 1989 standards and does not reflect the current stormwater requirements. The existing ponding area likely does not meet NURP standards, but has been serving its purpose of preventing trash from the parking lot being swept directly into the lake. The City Engineer has not reviewed the existing pond but the B-2 code indicates a stormwater plan must be submitted whenever a building permit or variance is requested. If this proposal is approved, a condition of approval should be review and upgrade (if necessary) of stormwater facilities on the site.
