PC Exhibit B� -�._.� �o�R BOAT G�J� To:Whom it may concern From: Luke R. Kujawa,Your Boat Club Subject: CUP Application for Brown's Bay Marine (1444 Shoreline Dr.) Date: Friday,Apri119, 2013 We were granted a CUP for the operation of a Boat Club at the Brown's Bay Marina in the spring of 2011. We now are asking to amend that CUP. Originally,we had requested approval for up to but not exceeding 30 boats. 30 boats represent under 1/3 of the total slips at the marina. The permit was granted but limited to 20 boats,as a trial period,in order to see if there would be a negative effect on the parking situation. We were told to come back to amend the CUP if we wished to expand and if we proved to properly manage the parking. In 2012 we were at our max capacity of 20 boats. Not only were there zero parking issues caused by the boat club,we took various measures which actually improved the parlang situation from the previous year. These measures included,lot striping,requesting marina tenants double park on busy days when coming with multiple vehicles,hands on parlang management and the issuing of parking stickers. With a new,long term tenant in the retail sales building,we are reconfiguring the site to improve pedestrian flow. Your Boat Club boats are moving to the middle dock on the Brown's Bay side of the marina from the Tanager side. In addition,the new tenant, River Valley Power&Sport has more than doubled the number of slips used for new boat display, from 6 to 14,which in turn reduces the number of people utilizing parking on busy weekends making this request essentially a wash. - We are seeking e�and our business with a nomina110 boat increase to our CUP. The parking difference between ten retail marina tenants and ten boat club�boats is minimal and more than offset by proper onsite management Thank you for your consideration! Sincer ly, . .
