The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter on April 18, 1994, finding that the Minnetonka Power Squadron meets all requirements for a Day Use Recreation Area conditional use permit except for the ratio of users-to-lot-area. With 7 .5 dry acres, at the standard of 20 users per acre the site would be limited to 150 users at one time. Representatives of the Power Squadron indicate that as many as 200 to 300 users are not uncommon at the site on holiday weekends and more users have occupied the site during special events. Planning Commission recommended that Power Squadron be granted a variance to allow up to 500 users under this conditional use permit, and any special events for which more than 500 users are anticipated shall be subject to prior approval of the City Council. It is Planning Commission's intent that requests for approval of such events not be considered as amendments to the CUP nor be ref erred to Planning Commission, but be merely a Council review and approval process. Please review the findings and conditions contained in the attached CUP/variance resolution. A resolution for approval of the 1994 Joint Use Dock License is also attached.
