MINUTES OF THE , <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,August 12,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (6. #13-3606 L UKE KUJAWA O YOUR BOAT CL UB, 1444 SHORELINE DRIVE— <br /> CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT, Continued) <br /> Summerlot stated as an operating marina with multiple businesses and boats and customers coming and <br /> going,the exact parking situation is subject to change on a day-to-day basis. Weekends present the most <br /> pressure on the parking spaces available and the businesses want to effectively manage parking for their <br /> customers and clients and have shown an eagerness to do so. It is the professional opinion of Classic <br /> Parking that Your Boat Club has not come close to filling its immediate lots when managed and will not <br /> come close to filling its lots with the additional ten boat slips for boat club use. In addition, parking is <br /> simply a management issue and an increase in boat club boats can be easily managed. Classic Parking is <br /> ready to assist the owners to safely and functionally handle their parking needs if they expand their <br /> business. <br /> McMillan asked if they have a dedicated offsite parking. <br /> Summerlot stated they do not because it would be difficult to have a designated lot due to the different <br /> facilities hosting various events at different times of the year. <br /> Jerry Johnson, 16515 Black Oak Circle,Minnetonka, stated he is one of those people who do not have <br /> access to the lake without Your Boat Club. Johnson indicated he has found in dealing with Your Boat <br /> Club that the owners are fantastic about meeting their commitments to their members and that he would <br /> encourage the City Council to take into consideration the need for a business owner to know that he can <br /> make a return on his money and allow them to go forward <br /> Steve Davis, 2630 Forest Avenue, indicated he is a member of Your Boat Club. Davis stated in his view <br /> there is resolution to the issues and that it is important for the City Council to consider the health of the <br /> business,which has an effect on the satisfaction of the members of Your Boat Club. Your Boat Club <br /> provides access to the lake but that access is currently being hampered by some of the conditions that the <br /> amendment will help alleviate. <br /> Fire Chief James Van Eyll stated the fuel tank has been relocated to the wedge shaped lot and they have <br /> added the venting and posted the signs,which were all requests of the state fire marshal. Temporary fuel <br /> storage has been granted until September 15. <br /> McMillan asked if there is an issue with the fuel tank being located close to parked cars. <br /> Van Eyll indicated he does not see a huge issue with it at this time. The fuel tank is located on a trailer <br /> which will help prevent people from backing into it. <br /> Levang asked if this is temporary. <br /> Van Eyll indicated the 90 days end on September 15. <br /> Anderson asked if there are other marinas in Orono with similar situations. <br /> Page 16 of 37 <br />
