mmm op fmi PuaniiM commissioh meeting apeil 17, tOMlK PILE fl39€>MINNET0MlA BOAT N0BE8 parking lot. Mr. Lomen said that was not part of their original proposalf however that did not »ean that they wouldn't be agreeable to it. He com’nented that there have been no problens with the existing gravel. If the City required then to blacktop the parking lotr they would consider doing it# but preferred not to. The next issue discussed was hardcover. Hardcover in the 0- 75' zone would Increase by 1.38% to 15.48%. Jacobs said that Bost of that would occur in the extension. Hardcover in the 75- 250'zone will remain the sane. With regard to parking, Jacobs stated that Minnetonka Boat Works met the requirements for the number of parking stalls. They are now proposing to add 26 parking stalls in light of the additional boat slips. All 26 stalls will be added in the 0-75* zone. Building Official Jacobs reported that the City Engineer recommended that a retention pond be constructed at the end of the parking lot to catch runoff and filter the water before it enters the Lake. He recommended that parking lot grading plan be modified to provide a minimum 1% grade; the area between the parking lot and the Lake should be a minimum of 6" higher than the parking lot; pre-cast concrete bumper curbs should be required around the parking lot and it should be paved to minimize the run-off of silt into the ponding area. Building Official Jacobs noted that the applicant is requesting that the lakeshore setback for the new parking area be 10', which is the setback of the existing parking lot. Jacobs said that parking lot was designed in such a way to minimize tree removal. However, 6 trees, possibly less, will need to be removed within 75' of the lake. Building Official Jacobs explained that the requirement for landscaping is 10', however, the existing parking lot has only 5' of landscaping. Applicant is requesting that the new parking area be allowed to have only 5' of landscaping area. Planning Commissioner Hanson questioned how allowing a 5' variance would affect the size of the parking lot. Jacobs replied that if 10' were required, it would push the parking area closer to the lake and would interfere with the proposed berm. Planning Commissioner Cohen questioned the City Engineer's recommendation for a modified grade for the parking area and storm drainage. Jacobs said that storm drainage would only be a problem if the applicant did not follow the City Engineer's recommendations. Hanson asked why paving was necessary. Jacobs replied that the City ordinances require paving, unless a variance is requested. Also, the City Engineer felt that paving was necessary to maintain the drainage areas and prevent silt from running into the Lake.
