Lakeside Marina May 28, 1992 Page 3 4. Screening along the west lot line is inadequate. I noted that some boats were stored within a few feet of the fence line on the west side, and generally less than the required 10' setback from all of your property lines, regardless of the extent of hard surface. 5. The number of available automobile parking spaces appears to be significantly less than those required from a code standpoint as well as from a practical viewpoint. 6. Commercial use of the property at 3350 North Shore Drive will not be condoned until such time that you apply for and are granted the appropriate approvals. 7 . The use of styrofoam f loats for the docks has been a subject of ongoing discussion. You are advised that the City is considering an ordinance to ban the use of unprotected styrofoam for dock flotation, with a reasonable phase-out period for existing users. Finally, the City is informed that you are engaged in land storage of trailered boats for on-demand launching. We consider such a use and operation to be essentially identical to dry- stacking and to be a violation of City Resolution No. 938, which limits the number of authorized slips, lifts, buoys or dry-stack slips to the number provided in prior years' licenses. As you are aware, the City is reviewing the operations of the marinas in the City, including Lakeside Marina. And it is reviewing the various general ordinances and their actual effect upon the marinas. It may be that the Lake Use Committee, which is the committee investigating these matters , will ,make recommendations about changes of one sort or another in the ordinances, especially in regard to on-demand launching, boat clubs" , dry-stacking and charter boat operations. I will repeat again that you appear to have an excessive number of boats on the property at present, not counting any trai lered boats related to on-demand launching. Further, your license application requests more than double the number of boats allowed on the property per previous licenses. A 1992 license cannot be granted to you until the foregoing conditions are rectified, and you submit a revised application meeting previous boat density limits. Issuance of licenses for 1991 or prior years wil 1 not be considered until the current issues are resolved. And, quite aside from the number of boats in summer use, the other matters referred to in this letter wil 1 have to be dealt with in a satisfactory manner including .some guarantees of future compliance before a 1992 license can be issued. In the final analysis, if you do not have a license, you wi 11 not be ab le to operate.
