Marina License Memo May 18. 1993 Pace 5 licensed, and absent specific City ordinances directly limiting boat density, the City should support the LMCD’s ordinances regarding on land storage. Council is advised that staff has reviewed the parking requirements with Mr. Dunn and it is not impossible for the marina to provide parking for the additional on land storage should the marina choose to do so. by reducing the number of extraneous/service/repair/brokerage boats on the site. However, a portion of that parking would likely continue to be in the 0-75’ setback zone along side and front lot lines not meeting the required parking setback, all in areas where the City has historically allowed parking to occur via past licensing approvals. Many of our marinas have similar parking non-conformities, but don’t abut residentially used properties. Note also the recent letter from Sandy Ramberg, property owner on the west side of Lakeside, regarding the continued parking violations. North Shore Drive is posted "No Parking" in this area. We have also reviewed the winter storage site plan showing how the required number of parking spaces will remain open. Although the City has historically only acknowledged/licensed a level of 80 winter stored boats, the number of boats stored in winter on the site is typically around 150 to 160, 2/3 being dead winter storage and 1/3 being for service/repair/sale/etc. Storage of boats at the e.xtreme southeast comer of the property has also been an item of frequent discussion between staff and the applicant, since storage affects sight distance for west bound traffic as well as cars leaving the marina. Staff is recommending approval of a license for 77 slips 80 winter stored boats per previous licenses, a denial of the 30-50 on-land slips for lake use, (which amounts to a statement of support for LMCD’s position regarding boat density for this marina), and a requirement that boat storage at the extreme southeast comer of the property be setback a distance from the property comer such that traffic visibility is not impaired, to be determined by statt. Gayle ’s Marina. Gayle ’s Marina has not been licensed since 1981, although they have applied for licenses and paid the fee for each year since then, and have continued in operation. Aside from the historic issues ot landscaping and the shoreline green buffer strip, the City has refused to license any more than 134 slips per Resolutu>n No. 1293 (attached). LMCD continues to license 9 additional transient slips. L_..
