WED'�IESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1994 <br /> � Brown noted he had been involved in i�rrail plan.ning in Carver County, and his experience with <br /> landowners had been that they generally have no problem with snowmobiles as long as they <br /> °Stay out of my y�a^. � <br /> � Schroeder moved the discussion along to the conditional use list, leavin� cross country skiing <br /> and snowmobile sales/rental/service/lake operations base for further discussion later. <br /> �, Schroeder noted that "transient boat launching" means a marina would essentially act as a public <br /> access ra.mp. After brief discussion, Planning Commission agreed that transient boat launching <br /> �' was a reasonable conditional use as along as parking is addressed, and ultimately might reduce <br /> � car-trailer parkin� on the street. <br /> � Regarding boat clubs, Schroeder defined them as "multiple persons shari.ng in the use of a single <br /> boat", resulting in more hours of usage for a single boat as compared to the normal sin;le owner <br /> situation. Rowlette indicated her family doesn't boat on weekends due to overcrowding of the <br /> � lake. Richie Anderson suggested that 6-8 individual members was typical per boat in a boat club <br /> and that the boat club concept would not inc�ease boat density on the lake given that the 8 users <br /> have only a single boat, whereas 8 individual boats being used by 8 owners would certainly <br /> � . increase density. Mabusth questioned the parking needs for boat clubs. Rowlette indicated the <br /> concept would be a problem if for instance, every single slip at a marina was devoted to boat <br /> club use, which would potentially yield every one of the slipped boats being used all the ti.me. <br /> � Hilbelink suggested that a boat club is no difFerent than a rental boat situatioa in terms of <br /> amount of usage per boat. Schroeder made the point that under the normal structure, 100 boats <br /> could be used individually by 100 families, but under a boat club structure, those 100 boats <br /> � could be used by 600 families, and the relative amount of usage of those 100 boats would <br /> increase substantially. Parking would not necessarily be an issue, because not all 600 fam�lies <br /> � would be there at once. <br /> Regarding on-demand launch of customer's boat stored on site, Gaffron noted that this could be <br /> � accomplished by dry stack, or by boats sitti.ng on trailers outside. The theory is that the <br /> customer would call ahead, telli.ng the mari.na to have their boat in the water and ready to go i.n <br /> an hour. Rowlette noted this was quite prevalent in Florida and other areas, but not as common <br /> � yet in Orono. She also suggested she would rather see such storage inside buildings raiher than <br /> outside. Gaffron noted that while Orono has historically only allowed North Shore Drive <br /> Marina the use of 20 of its 72 dry stack spaces for boats for Iake use, the LMCD licenses all <br /> � 72 as lake use slips. The fallacy is that LMCD doesn't count boats stored on trailers for lake <br /> use in their licensing count. <br /> � Schroeder suggested that the Planning Commission may at some point address the boat density <br /> -- issue, and needs to be ttvnki.ng about standards and regulations for pazking at mari.nas. <br /> � <br /> 7 � <br /> � � <br /> � - . . . <br />
