Historic use of the 72 spaces has been limited to 20 boats for lake use by a 1977 stipulated agreement between the City and a former owner of the property. The LMCD,however,has for many years required that all 72 spaces be licensed for boats that are for lake use. This inconsistency should be rectified, and last fall the Council indicated it may be appropriate far the City to allow use of all 72 spaces for on-demand launching per the LMCD licensing. Pertinent Code Section "10.41, Subd. 7. Conditional Uses. No conditional use permit shall be granted unless the property is found to be in compliance with the landscaping and screening requirements of this Section. All conditional use permit applications shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.09 of this chapter. Within any "B-2" Lakeshore Business District, no structure or land shall be used for the following uses except by conditional use permit: B. Public boat launching, On-Demand (On-demand launching of customer- owned boats stored on the business site). Applicant shall demonstrate that adequate parking is available on the site. Approval shall be subject to LMCD permit for such use, but City shall not be obligated to approve such use if approved by LMCD when parking is inadequate." The landscaping and screening standards are attached as Exhibit G.
