Marina License Memo May 18. 1993 Page 6 Council should review Resolution No. 1293 and either accept it as the City’s current position, reject it as no longer making valid findings, update it. or request further background if necessary. Given the past decade of non-licensing based on number of slips and site issues but keeping in mind Council’s stated intent to issue licenses to those marinas which apply for 1993 regardless of outstanding landscaping/buffer issues, staff is recommending that a license allowing Gayle’s to maintain 134 lake slips would be appropriate. The past licenses (1981 and earlier) have authorized 200 winter stored boats, which would take up virtually the entire area of the marina not occupied by buildings. However, absent any direction in the code that defines how much winter storage is appropriate for a site, staff is reluctant to suggest a formula for defining a "reasonable" number of winter stored boats without analyzing how it would affect all marinas in the City. Finally, staff would recommend inclusion in a license for Gayle’s that "no boats may be moored on the west side of the gas dock unless the gas dock is located at least 20 ’ from the east property line", and that "since the landscaping and screening required to be installed by the 1975 operations agreement have not been completed, that issuance of this license does not relieve Gayle’s Marina from responsibility for completion of those requirements". These conditions were part of the 1981 license. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of 1993 marina licenses for Crystal Bay Service. Gayle’s Marina. Lakeside Marina, Sailor’s World. Windward Marina, and Minnetonka Boat Works, subject to the conditions noted in the draft licenses attached. Council may wish to vote on the licenses all in one motion or if some changes are required, vote on them individually. ch
