Rich Anderson May 23, 1995 Page 3 • Your suggestion of re-installing the baffle system on either side of the fork lift pad at the end of the lagoon, is very appropriate. I have enclosed the original baffle plan, although it probably should be modified to make use of the docks as you propose. • Your parking requirements for 86 wet slips, 20 dry stack slips for lake use, and the sales and service functions total approximately 72 spaces in addition to your employee parking. The formal parking plan on file indicates 69 spaces south of the lagoon, plus another dozen or so spaces near the marina office. If the green buffer around the lagoon increases to 20-30', the northerly row of spaces south of the lagoon would be eliminated. These might be made up along the east side south of the future stormwater pond, and might be a reasonable hardcover tradeoff since the new parking would be further from the lake. Rich, one of the City's primary goals for marinas is to establish substantial r�een strins at the lakeshore, minimizin� hardcover to the greatest extent possible, and treatin� the stormwater runoff from the hardcover that does exist. I think we need to take a closer look at the hardcover expansions over the last 10 years, and bring them back into some reasonable degree of compliance. The City's second goal is that marinas be a "good neighbor" to the greatest extent possible. In the case of North Shore Marina, that may be accomplished with some fencing, some additional vegetation screening, and by your prudent operation of the marina to avoid negative impacts on neighbors. We haven't had any complaints since you took over. Regarding your sign proposal, Jeanne and I agree that replacing the 'Mobi1 ' inserts with a North Shore sign, and removing the taller sign east of the driveway entrance, would be a positive improvement. You should check with the Building Inspectors about a sign permit to do that. Interior lighting of the sign is not prohibited. I'm not sure where your sign is located in relation to the lot line, but because it is an existing post and frame, you would be allowed to change the inserts without moving the sign. During the inspection we discussed the fact that not all of the improvements can realistically happen immediately, due to time and financial constraints. It would be helpful if you could use this letter as a punchlist, add things that I have missed, and put a tentative date (1996, 1997, 1998, etc.) on those improvements that are long-term. With that information, we can sit down and formalize a landscape/stormwater improvement plan that you can take to the Planning Commission and Council in support of your CUP applications.
