Water Structures and Environment Committee October 13, 1990 Reese noted that as a commercial marina, Chapman Place does not have adequate parking, and does not provide public amenities. (It is grandfathered for 27 slips rather than licensed for special density requiring amenities) Cochran stated that in looking at what the District is trying to accomplish, this arrangement provides a benefit to the general public, as well as the owners of the condominiums. He can foresee the need for some adjustment to the ordinances, noting a similar situation exists at the Excelsior Bay Gables. Slocum said he was satisfied with Cuthill’s responses to the LeFevere letter, his opinion being that Chapman Place has done what the LMCD required in its order. Slocum moved, Pillsbury seconded, to dismiss this discussion and to consider an ordinance change to allow ownership of docks with an arms length operating agreement. Reese moved, Hurr seconded, to table the discu.ssion unti) the matter of the Chapman Place docks and the Excelsior Pay Gables docks can be discussed in the same context. Motion carried, Slocum voting nay. Cuthili advised the committee that Chapman Place was prepared to sign an operators agreement for 1991 at an early date. The committee offered no objection to their doing so. 2- Communication with Lakeside Marina Regarding Non-Compliance The Executive Director reported that Jim Dunn, Lakeside Marina owner, has not complied with the temporary low water variance granted in April. He was allowed to replace permanent docks with floating docks in the same configuration, extended to 600’. The change is only half completed. Slip sices do not conform to the original configuration. The Executive Director recommends putting Dunn on notice that the District expects Lakeside Marina to have docks in place-' in the exact configuration, supported by an as-built survey. The docks are otherwise not to be used until a license is issued. Cochran moved, Pillsbury seconded, to recommend acceptance of the Executive D-rector’s recommendation and to autJiorise him to communicate the plan he has outlined to the licensee. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Review of Amenity Study The committee received an update of the Amenity Value Study dated October 5, 1990.
