T'he Council confirms the findings and conclusions of Resolution No. 938 regarding increased boat density on Lake Minnetonka . 4. The Council confii-ms the findings and conclusions �of Resolution • No. 943 regarding prior development, use and applications for use of the subject property. 5. The subject �roperty is not currently in use as a marina as permitted under B-2 zoning use district regulations . . 6. The subject property has in fact not previously been used to the � full extent requested, licensed and permitted by the City and the LMCD, which fact underscores the unwarranted increase ia � marina development in recent years, the physical limitations on the site and �he unsubstantiated need for any commercial - development of �he property. 7 . The existing zoning is obviously unplanned "spot" zoning. � 8. Residential zoning and use is completely compatible with alI adjacent and nearby zoning and land use. • • 9. New information available since 1974, including the Federal Flood Insurance study, increased local, state and federal knowledge _ concerning sewage treatment and disposal, and increased knowledge of lake ecology have become cause for new planning conclusi�ns regarding use of this property independent of any City initiated action. � ` - 10. Stubbs Bay is ,a shall,ow bay, otherwise completely residential � in character, and has been classified as a potentially critical bay for boating use. lI. Maxwell Bay, through which all boat traffic must pass to reach Stubbs� Bay, is already classified as a critical boat use bay. 12. The bay and the property are not physically suited for commercial marina development. � 13.. The City, the LMCD and the DNR would never permit a "new" marina ' on this site. T4. °The proposed development would be a "new" marina because no viable, � :- active marina exists today�. � • , ;
