^ Page 3 You uill sec later how the combination of Boat Club Slips & Rental Slips add up in terms of needed parking Our Club offers weekday only and lull week boating. We are encouraging weekday memberships which spread out parking requirements more during the less bus> weekdays when it is never a problem. To understand the Boat Club usage you must realize we work with a certain number of boats to members ratio. We currently operate with a 7; 1 ratio or 7 members to every one Boat. As 1 mentioned earlier because the Boat Club is in such demand we can impose parking restrictions limiting members to use of one car etc. and really exercise control over the parking that you could not in a large 40 to 50 Daily Rental Boat Fleet. The other nice thing about the Boat Club is we can adjust ratios upward so we need less slips and parking per member & offer boating at other locations to make up the difference so its fair to them ( Exaggerated example it you had 20 members & one boat you assume parking for one boat & one slip and Boat Club members only need parking when they are using the boat & when its out only one member uses parking at a time so its one for one with slip renters its one boat one renter one slip one parking spot with the club its one slip one boat one parking spot & 7 members or whatever ratio that you adjust so you can partially control your parking requirements.) 1 believe I have developed a good understanding of the parking needs at this business site since my involvement here since 1973 when it was then called Paul's Landing with between 40 & 50 single rental units consisting of fishing boats & pontoons. Please review the following estimations and facts relating to the yearly parking needs of Sailors World Boat Club, Dock Slip Renters, On & Off Season Retail. In our Boat Club our seasonal contract use dates arc May 15 - Oct. 15. I will only address Weekend parking situations considering a prime season from June 1 - Sept. 4 and off season May 1 - May 3 1 & Sept. 5 - Oct. 15.Keep in mind all parking spots are open with none used for semce shop needs, retail inventory, used inventory etc as the nature of our business has been changed to facilitate this. Adjustments are needed to accurately portray parking needs in regards to: 1)Allocation of total prime season verses Pre- or Post season week end days. (And Holidays) In three years doing the Club early season boating in May & late season boating in Sept. & Oct. has been about 50% less use on weekends compared to prime season June-August (Reason being kids still in school and weather less desirable) . 2)A bad weather Vo deducted in both prime & non prime season week end days It seems that a close estimate would be 25Vo of entire season weekends either rain out, or too cold or windy.
