#11-3501 YourBoatClub LLC ` � • <br /> April 7,2011 - <br /> Page 4 <br /> carefully review the staff inemo, exhibits and PC minutes (Exhibit C). A summary of the issues <br /> discussed is as follows: " <br /> 1) Should a boat club CUP be issued when the number of available stalls is already <br /> slightly below the number required by code for just the marina use? Planning <br /> Commission concluded that in order to be granted the CUP,the applicant should prove to � <br /> staff s satisfaction that parking is available to meet current code requirements for the site. <br /> Variables in determining adequacy include how many functional stalls are available, how � <br /> many stalls are required to serve rental slips versus "other" slips such as those used to <br /> serve the reta.il operation, and how many stalls are required for employee parking. <br /> ; <br /> 2) Is there any justification to allow parking in the additional stalls in the triangle area � <br /> east of CR15? The applicant believes that a number of additional stalls can be <br /> established by making use of the triangle area east of CR 15 that the City has not in the <br /> past formally sanctioned as viable parking. Use of this area for parking was not included <br /> in the 1989 approvals, but rather a 4-sta11 parking variance for the marina was granted. <br /> The Municipal Code has defined standards for commercial driveway entrances (Section <br /> 18-137, attached as Exhibit F) which would limit the driveway access width to 32 feet at <br /> the property line, that the portions of the approach in the County road right-of-way be . <br /> paved, and that a turnaround be provided on site to avoid tr�c backing into the County <br /> road. The current gravel entrance to the triangle area is approximately 75' in width. - <br /> 3) What numerical parking standards are appropriate for the boat club use? Should it <br /> be based on total boat capacity? Or simply on the number of club boats? Should <br /> there be a limit on the number of club boats? Planning Commission heard comment <br /> from a number of local marina owners/operators in attendance. Part of the discussion <br /> centered on how boat clubs are operated and managed, how this club would operate <br /> _ ' absent an office facility, how the parking need was determined for the Sailor's World <br /> Boat Club CUP, and the issues of consistency and creating or maintaining an even <br /> playing field for all Orono marinas. The applicant voiced that it would not be in his best <br /> interest to operate in a manner or at a level that created parking problems for his <br /> � customers, as they would likely no longer be his customers. In the end, the majority of <br /> the Planning Commission concluded that in order to gain a recommendation,for approval, <br /> the applicant must show that the site has parking that meets the existin� standards for a <br /> marina, and that no added parking increment for boat club use be required. Planning <br /> Commission did not recommend a limit to the number of club boats, club members, or <br /> establish any other numerical parameters for regulating the use. . <br /> - 4) Should the CUP be issued without a resolution to the noted ownership issue? <br /> Although historically the two adjacent residential properties have been in common <br /> ownership, the last sale of the marina resulted in a separate ownership situation -the two <br /> marina parcels ar`e owned by Browns Bay LLC, the residential parcels are owned by <br /> Tanager Bay LLC. More detail on this topic can�be found in Exhibit C. Planning <br /> Commission indicated this is a concern, and that appropriate documentation must be � <br />
