Amenities required under the <br />special density provision of tne new dock license were provided <br />except for the charter boat operation, proliibited by the City of <br />Excelsior due to parking limitations. <br />EPT leased transient dock space from the Mai Tai. a non­ <br />operating ad.jci- ent restaurant, in 1991. EPI indicated it does <br />not have immediate plans to rebuild the dock witii tlie additional <br />8 slips. ^ , , <br />Michael Bx'oso. EPT. said they operated in 1991 with only a <br />small ten passenger catamaran for charters. They plan to operate <br />three small capacity charters in 199.'1. two to tourteen capacity. <br />It is not known whether the City of Excelsior will approve these <br />three smaller charters. <br />Babcock said the reason the license was approved was the <br />availability of the charter boats. In view of the denial of this <br />service by the City, it is his judgment that a new license is <br />required. , . , <br />Fred Brunt.ien. EPT. said the EPT does not plan dock <br />reconfiguration at the present time. . • u * <br />Grathwol stated that the committee is looking at the 4U boat <br />license. The LMCD is not getting what it was promised. The <br />needs to state what it wants to do. <br />Babcock suggested the EPT withdraw the application <br />proceed with a 32 slip application. Then the owner could <br />apply for the 40 slips after January when the moratorium <br />multiple docks ends. Babcock added he is not against a <br />EPT <br />and <br />re- <br />on <br />new <br />■■ ■ m m m m ^ ^ ^ ^ <br />application for this area as the location demands it. He does not <br />feel the conditions for the special density license have been <br />met. He voted in favor of the 40 boat license only because of <br />the charter boats being available for public use. <br />BruntJen said the EPT wants to keep the rental slips as that <br />helps with their financing. He rioted it cost $0000 to provide <br />life guards for the public swimming program amenity. Money from <br />the slip rental was allocated to that operation. <br />Cochran was excused. , • * • <br />Rascop said the circumstances call for a new application. <br />He suggested denying the 40 slips. Bruntjen asked how thev could <br />operate as a business if the whole plan is changed. They are <br />working with the City. EPT wants the overnight storage and <br />charter boat operation. This is the time of the year EPT will be <br />advertising for 1992 rentals. <br />Grathwol summarized the discussion by saying this comes <br />before the committee because of the change in the charter <br />operation. the cliange from a private to a public operation and <br />because of the delayed reconfiguration. Ho stated the committee <br />wants to get more transient slips and a resolution as to how <br />Charters will be handled. Now that the EPT is public. Foster <br />sees need for more transient slip.s and less need lor amenities. <br />Ho suggested a trade- off between the swimming lessons and more <br />transient slips. , , ^ <br />Reese noted the smaller charter.s proposed do not need as <br />much parking.
