Page 28 <br /> (5) Traffic - a marina at the scale proposed would have a great deal <br /> of e#�fect on the amount of traffic in the area unless the <br /> proposal was drastically scaled down. Since the access would be <br /> provided directly on to C.R. �84, it would not mean added traffic <br /> on local streets. However, the sight distance in the area is <br /> already somewhat limited due to the number of curves in C.R. n84 <br /> and the topography. Screening of the .site will further cut down <br /> the site distance. This could create potential safety problems <br /> due'to the fact that trailers with boats will be �oing into <br /> and coming out of one entrance.on the site, espec�ally during <br /> times of heavy use of the marina. <br /> (6) Pollution Problems - due to the fact that the site is located in <br /> the floodplain and sheet flow area from an unnamed tributary, <br /> there would be problems with constructing a suitable private <br /> sewer system. The only feasible alternative would be to <br /> require a holding tank which would have to be pumped periodically. <br /> In addition, there would be potential pollution problems from <br /> runoff from the site when flooded due to the fact that boat <br /> � repairs will be taking place on the site with resultant oil and <br /> gasoline spills as well as sediment runoff from the gravel <br /> parking spaces and boat storage areas:. <br /> B. A Single Family Residence <br /> A second alternative would be to allow a single-family residence on <br /> the property in conformance with the zoning around the area. The <br /> following is an evaluation of a single-family residence on the site. <br /> (1) Overall City Development - a single-family residence on the site <br /> would be in conformance with overall city development and the <br /> policies being developed for the city under the current planning <br /> program, in that the site is located in an essentially rural <br /> area consisting of single-family homes. A residential use on, <br /> the property would not require added services or pressures for <br /> extending sewer services to the area. <br /> (2) Provision of Urban Services - a single-family residence on the <br /> site would place minimal demands for urban services. <br /> (3) Natural Resources - a single-family residence on the site would <br /> have some effect on the natural resources in that the site would <br /> have to be modified to flood-proof the building. However, it <br /> could also have a positive effect through replanting of vegetation <br /> � in the area. • A single-family residence would have a minimal <br /> effect on Lake Minnetonka or Stubbs Bay. . <br /> (4) Neighborhood and Aesthetics - a single-family residence is <br /> likely to have a positive effect on the neighborhood and <br /> � � aesthetics in that it would fit in iaith the residential character _ <br /> . of the area and would mean a removal of the old slips: <br /> � -9- � <br />
