•^v% Jii CITY of ORONOMSOUTION OF THE CITY COlTfCILNO, 3 3 7 r <br />The Orono City Council granted variances and af v-a: for a comme ! . .:e <br />plan review for Smith’s Bay Marina and \acht CIuu. Inc (Zoning Application <br />#1592) per Resolution No. 2S91 on October 22. 1990. Pursuant to that <br />resolution, the current property owners constructed a manna clubhouse and have <br />comnleted the maioritv of the site improvements required with that approval. <br />The applicant has requested approval for installation of an S’ .\ S’ x 20 ’ <br />removable storage module on the propen>'. based on the following stated <br />hardshios; <br />A A hardshin exists due to <br />B. <br />ack of eouioment storage for marina related <br />A 4 ^ <br />activities to effectively run the marina business. This lack of storage <br />results in an inabilitv to accommodate customers demauds for facilities to <br />store personal boating equipment. <br />The am cunt and type of items proposed to ’oe stored in this module are <br />enumerated in the applicant s letter to the Orotio Plarining Commission <br />dated November 1. 1993 and incorporated herem by rererence. <br />C. .A small exvensioii to the existing building could be ot dimension no more <br />than 6' x 6’ in area v. ithout encroaching on existing wmdows, doorways, <br />or extending in.o uie sue parking area. <br />The site layout makes it very’ difficult to relocate the sua" ; parking space whicn <br />vvill be eliminated by placement of the storage m^' ale without a significant <br />reconfiguration of the narkmg layout or encroachment into the designated non ­ <br />hardcover landscape areas. To compensate for loss of this space, which reduces <br />the number of spaces to 41 where 42 were approved via Resoluuon 2891 and 48 <br />would normally be required, the applicant has provided a lener of agreement w'ith <br />Lhe .Minnetonka .An Center approximately l/^ mile w'est or the marina, for <br />ovenlow parking. <br />The proposed location of the storage module in parking stall #34 of the previously <br />approved commercial site plan, places the module outside Lhe 0-75 ’ lakeshore <br />setback zone where no structures would normally oe allov/ed, thus meeting the <br />major objection the DNR had to this proposal. <br />Page 2 of 6
