Zoning File #1265 Page 2 May 12, 1988 unimproved grass areas of the property. It is staffs responsiblity to advise the app licant that this is the time to p lan for the future use of this site, review Exhibit H. The well recently installed in 1986, does not meet the standard for seperation from the septic system. In fact, if you observe the 75' setback area, no septic system could be instal led on the property and meet the seperation standard. More than 1/3 of the property and the border around the east side is unsuitable for future septic develv_-ement. Before the applicant can consider of further parking impro,.ements to this site, the septic issue must be resolved. Staff would concur that the existing use of the club is probably the one use that could survive on this severly limited half -•acre site. The applicant has advised that there are 3 to 4 nights scheduled for meetings and that the most in attendance at any one night is approximately 40 members. The average meeting is between 15 and 20. Section 10.61(G) would require only 10 spaces based on the total 1,458 s.f. area of the structure. Note additional parking is only required for each 300 s.f. over 2000 s.f. of bui lding. The informa 1 parking area on the north side can easi ly meet a 15 car parking requirement. As the applicant, Minnesota Alano, Inc., is the owner of the property, staff feels it is most important that the owner be advised that any future expansion or improvement of this property will prohibit of future septic expansion. The septic: issue must be resolved with the City before any other changes are approved for the site. Based on the low water use level, applicant may be best advised to install a holding tank, if this is the case, the applicant would have to return seeking a varaince to the septic code. But staff would have no problem approving such a request. At any rate, now is the time to resolve the septic issue. Staff Recommendation To table the application until applicant and staff have had time to resolve the septic issue. Staff will return the application for the Planning Commissions final recommendations as soon as the following can be shown on the site plan/survey: 1. Locate new septic system/holding rank??? 2. Applicant to redesign parking area taking advantage of the northern portions ^f the property already covered with the gravel and preserving the green spaces within the front yards. Applicant must locate property stakes at southeast corner at Fox Street and northwest corner at Old Crystal Bay Road. 3. Preliminary review would suggest the newly relocated access would be superior to the existing access located too close to the intersection of Fox and Old Crystal Bay. 4. Applicant may consider reducinq parking needs to no more than 20 parking stalls - applicant may wish to limit number of members at meetings. 5. In line with the fact that this application is also granting a formal Conditional Use Permit for the club use, staff would sugqest that the applicant provide some written information as to meeting, schedule, number of members, hours of meetings, etc.
