pac,�� 15 <br /> Surroundina Land Uses, Site Conditions and Services � <br /> Tne Stubbs aay r"arina site is completely surrounded by single-�amily� <br /> low density, residential homes and represents, one of� four city-wide <br /> E-2 sites. Consistent with neighborhood residential land use, the <br /> surrounding zoning on all sides is LR-IA, residential with a 2 acre <br /> minimum lot area. <br /> The site is presently not served by sanitary sewers nor prograr�med for <br /> sewer service in the near future. Thus, any proposed development <br /> would require an on-site sewer system. There are two main limitations <br /> to the use of septic tank and drainfield - a seasonally adjusted high <br /> water table as recorded by the soil survey (1-2 ft. of surf ace) and the <br /> threat of f(ooding since the site is located in the floodplain. Thus, <br /> any proposed structure in the area would have to be flood proofed. <br /> In addi�ion, any private sewer system would have to be an innovative <br /> system, such as a mound system, in order to function properly and in <br /> all like7yhood, part of the area would have to be filled for the drain- <br /> field area. <br /> III. Major Issues Involved <br /> Tne following are some of the major issues related to the proposal marina. <br /> Issue nI Is there a need for an additional marina on Lake Minnetonka? <br /> One of the major questions is whether there is a need for additional <br /> -_ docking facilities on Lake h1innetonka in light of a number� of existing <br /> marinas. In addition, tnere is a related issue of whether Stubbs Bay <br /> is the proper location for a marina, even if additional marinas can be <br /> justified from existing demands. <br /> This issue is not easily resolved and would require information related <br /> to the number of existing marinas on Lake Minnetonka and the estimated <br /> _ demands, if any, for additional marinas and docking facilities on the <br /> - lake. To date sufficient information has not been obtained to resolve <br /> this at within the time constraints. <br /> Issue n2 What effect would the proposed marina have on the aeneral <br /> neighT�orhood? <br /> As has been indicated previously, the proposed marina is located in � <br /> essentially a residential neighborhood. There has been a concern expressed <br /> by some property owners over the proposed marina and the effect of the <br /> rrarina on the neighborhood. Some of the potential adverse effects could <br /> be unsightliness from boats stored in the open; additional traffic <br /> generation on local streets, etc. Again, this would require additional <br /> analysis to resolve this issue. <br /> �., <br /> .�� <br />
