Representing Staff were Assistant City Administrator for Long-Term Strategic Planning Mike Gaffron, and Recorder Jackie Young. City Council Member Cynthia Bremer arrived at 6:40 p.m. Chair Kang called the meeting to order at 6:34 p.m.,followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. CONSENT AGENDA *1. APPROVAL OF PLAN1vING COMIVIISSION MEETING MINUTES OF JANUARY 18, . 2011 Kang moved,Schoenzeit seconded,to approve the minutes of the Orono Planning Commission meeting of January 18,2011, as submitted. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. NEW BUSINESS � 2. #11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVAItI)WEST,RESIDENTIAL PLANNED ITNIT DEVELOPMENT, 6:37 P.M.-7:44 P.M. .Matt Alexander,Kraus-Alexander; Steve Johnston, Civil Engineer; Jill Nolcleby-Kaiser,Ebenezer; and Dan Neudecker,Pope Architects, were present. Gaffron stated the applicant is requesting RPUD Master Development Plan approval, and RPUD conditional use permit,and rezoning of the property located at 875 Wayzata Boulevard. In the 1980s,this property was granted a conditional use permit for a daycare. Following the closure of the daycare,the property had several development application starts and stops. The single-family zoning at the one home per two acre density was becoming unrealistic considering the property's location situated between two highways, a regional trail,and a cemetery. It was undesirable for development of single-family homes. The property was then reguided to allow a higher density of residential units to open the doors for more development options. Recently the Welsh Companies and Ecumen made an application for an assisted living facility which was generally well received and the City felt that such a development would fill a need in the community. The Planning Commission reviewed their application at the June 21,2010,meeting. On July 12, 2010, the City Council granted Residential Planned Unit Development concept plan approval to Welsh Company for their proposed 55-unit assisted living project at 875 Wayzata Boulevard West. Since that time Kraus-Anderson and Ebenezer have taken over the project and wish to pick up where Welsh and Ecumen left of£ In January, the new applicant/developer,Kraus-Anderson,made the application to complete the final step of Master Development Plan approval,which also includes rezoning from RR-1B to RPUD and a RPUD conditional use permit to allow assisted living. Page 1 �. y MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) The language in the 2008-2030 Community Management Plan was revised in the most recent CMP update process to allow for the site to be developed at a density of up to 15 units per buildable acre with a maximum structural coverage of 30,000 square feet. Including the covered entry,the applicant is proposing a two-story building with a 25,665 square foot footprint and a total of 47,891 finished square feet. The building will consist of 63 total units—33 assisted living, 11 enhanced assisted living, and 19 . memory care units. The Planning Commission should consider the following: 1. Compatibility of the proposed plan with the RPUD standards and consistency with the goals, policies,and objectives of the comprehensive plan and surface water management plan; 2. Preservation of the site in its natural state to the greatest extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general character and ' appearance of neighboring properties; � 3. Creation of compatible relationships between buildings and open spaces both on the site and adjacent to it,incorporating natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development, giving special attention to: a) An internal sense of order for the buildings and uses on the site and provision of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with the adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and vehicular and pedestrian circulation,including walkways,interior drives,and parking in terms of location and number access points to the public streets,width of interior drives and access points,general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. 4. Promotion of energy conservation through design,location, orientation and elevation of structures,the use and location of glass in structures and the use of landscape materials and site grading; 5. Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provisions for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers,preservation of views,light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. The applicants'new plan appears to have two full floors where the previous plan had a stepped down or . ground hugging appearance on the ends of the building. The City had conducted a review of the information submitted by the applicant. It appears two of the wetlands on the properiy have been determined not to be wetlands under the Wetland Conservation Act jurisdiction. Therefore,these wetlands do not fall under the City's wetland regulations. The wetland � buffer widths shown on the applicant's plans are based on the MCWD width requirements and exceed by five feet the City's buffer width requirement. A financial security in the amount of$12,000 should be provided by the developer with regard to wetland buffers. Page 2 � ` MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, CONTINUED) The developer has provided a final,master development plan for the development that generally addresses all the standards of the RPUD District and shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Council that all RPUD standards have been met. The Concept Plan approval resolution outlined the plans and specifications required for Master Development approval. These plans have either been submitted or are in the process of being submitted for review and approval by the City and other appropriate jurisdictions. Acceptable plans will be required prior to Council review. Each property rezoned to RPUD shall only be used for the use or uses for which the site is designated in the comprehensive plan. Assisted living facility was recently added as an allowed conditional use with the RPUD district. The proposed use; as an assisted living/multifamily facility, generally meets the comprehensive plan standards. A site proposed to be rezoned to RPUD with proposed density greater than one unit per two acres must be in the metropolitan urban services area and must be serviced by municipal sewer. Sewer and water are available to this site. The property is within the MUSA. The applicant has submitted sewer and water utility plans and they are currently being reviewed by the City Engineer. Each development in the RPUD District shall have a density within the range specified in the plan for the specific site. This project will result in an overall density of 9.8 units per buildable acre,which conforms to the 2008-2030 CMP guiding of this property allowing up to 15 units per acre. For properties guided for residential use in the comprehensive plan,a building height limit of 30 feet shall apply. No mansard or flat roofed multiple-family building will be allowed. The currently proposed building is a slightly different design than what was previously proposed. At 25 feet,the overall defined heights meets the 30-foot height limitation. Each RPUD development shall provide a minimum of ten percent of the gross project area in private recreational uses for project residents. Such area shall be for active or passive recreational uses suited to the needs of the residents of the project,including swimming pools,trails,nature areas,picnic areas,tot lots and saunas. Private recreational area requirements are in addition to the standard park dedication requirements. The site offers a great deal of open space or natural area. There are 3.8 acres of wetland and over five acres of usable, open space including outdoor patios. The proposal meets the RPUD private recreational area requirement. Signs shall be restricted to those which are permitted in a sign plan approved by the City and shall be regulated by permanent covenants. Any proposed monument and wall signage will be required to meet City Code signage requirements. The right-of-way is irregularly wide in this area. The landscape plans show a monument sign just outside the property boundary along the driveway and within the right-of- way. The developer must show that Hennepin County or MN/Dot has granted approval for this location. An alternate location has also been showing within the property at the northeasternmost point along Wayzata Boulevard. The RPUD minimum landscaping requirement states that all open areas of a lot which are not used or improved for required parking areas,drives,trails or storage shall be landscaped with a combination of Page 3 c Y , MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING . Tuesday, February 22,2011 ., . 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, CONTINUED) deciduous and coniferous species,including overstory trees,understory trees, shrubs, flowers and groundcover materials according to the RPUD Code Section 78-626(14)(b)(1). The site perimeter is 3,292 linear feet. The building footprint is 24,500 square feet(without the canopy). According to the applicant's plan,they have used a perimeter based on the developed portion of the site rather than the entire property resulting in a lower number of trees required. The plan should be revised to address the number of trees as required by code. The plan as proposed is short 24 deciduous and 10 coniferous trees. The plans exceed the required number of shrubs considerably by 294 shrubs,but the excess of shrubs does not offset the required trees. The plan should also identify all of the healthy trees to be removed from the site that are over six inches in diameter. The applicant has been asked for this information and additional detail in the landscape plans. The revised plans should be received,reviewed,and approved by Staff prior to the City Council meeting. The applicant has provided building plans, colored elevations, and a materials sample board for the � Planning Commission review. . The City may require a traffic analysis to be prepared by a registered traffic engineer approved by the City to assess potential traffic impacts on local streets. All access to the development is proposed to be the existing access on Wayzata Boulevard. Wayzata Boulevard is not a local street but is classified as an "A"Minor Arterial. As with the Concept Plan review,the City has not requested a traffic study for this project. The applicant will have to obtain the appropriate access permit from MN/Dot or Hennepin depending on the status of jurisdiction. All RPUD developments shall be subject to the general performance standards for lighting. The applicant has submitted a proposed lighting plan. The plan appears to be in confornuty with the general lighting standards of the zoning code. The City's most comprehensive lighting standards are contained within Section 78-831 which are appropriate to use as a guide for reviewing this residential development—any inconsistencies will be noted prior to Council approval. The applicant will be required to provide plans and specifications for each type of fixture with the building pernut application. Ideally,the fixtures will be shielded and downcast. When any portion of the project is within 1,000 feet of a public trail system,pedestrian access shall be provided to the trail system by means of a public trail constructed at the developer's expense. The applicant has not proposed an access to the Luce Line Trail due to the nature of the development. Because the proposal is for a multi-unit residential developed guided for urban density,the project is subject to the requirements of Orono's Conservation Design ordinance. The applicant has prepared a Conservation Design Master Plan for the site. There are some minor outstanding elements of this plan which the applicant is continuing to develop. Staff feels that the remaining items can be addressed before the City Council reviews the application. Master development approval is contingent upon the successful execution of a Development Agreement between the applicant/developer and the City. The agreement shall address all specific City requirements Page 4 � MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) for the development. The Development Agreement shall include a financial guarantee by the applicant to ensure the completion of site improvements. Once the final plans are approved,the City Engineer shall complete an estimate of improvement costs,including but not limited to private roads, curb and gutter where required,landscaping, grading, erosion control,utilities,wetland and wetland buffers, conservation design requirements and storm water management facility construction,and the applicant shall provide to the City a financial guarantee of 150 percent of the improvement costs. The standard storm water and drainage irunk fee for residential development shall be paid by the developer per the 2010 City Fee Schedule and comes to$72,520. The developer shall pay the standard park dedication fee in lieu of land dedication based on the value of eight percent of the land with a minimum residential park fee of$3250 per dwelling unit. The developer is proposing 63 total units. Assuming the estimated market value of$1,276,000 from Hennepin County tax records,the minimum fee would apply. Applying the minimum residential park fee and removing only the memory care units would result in a park fee of$3250 times 44 units equals $143,000. There are no City of Orono sewer and water connection charges due because the properly has been assessed for sewer and water installation. However,the developer shall be responsible for connection charges imposed on the City of Orono or on the developer by the City of Wayzata for connection to their systems. MCES Sewer Availability Charges will be collected with the building permit for the property. Prior to final development approval by the City Council,the developer will have paid all required fees associated with the Master Development Plan. The Planning Commission should provide direction to the applicant to resolve the outstanding or unresolved items prior to the Council's review. Matt Alexander,Kraus-Anderson, stated Kraus-Anderson is currently the developer/property owner in the state of Minnesota of approximately 4.5 million square feet throughout the Twin Cities in addition to the consiruction arm of their business. Kraus-Anderson has found Ebenezer to be a strong pariner and they have developed a business plan to create approximately half a dozen similar projects throughout the metro area. . Jill Nolcleby-Kaiser,Ebenezer, stated they have been in business serving seniors for approximately 94 years in the state of Minnesota and serve approximately 4,000 seniors at the present time. The proposed memory care unit will provide a secured environment that provides social and clinical support for people suffering from dementia and has onsite staff 24/7. The assisted living units allow the individual to live in their own apartment with some limited assistance. Ebenzer is excited to be involved in this project with Kraus-Anderson and look forward to working with the City of Orono. Kang asked what other facilities Ebenzer operates. Nokleby-Kaiser indicated they currently have five nursing homes and seven assisted living sites. Ebenezer operates the Nine Mile Creek facility in Bloomington as well as a facility in Edina. They also manage the Meadow Woods facility, own and operate the Deer Crest facility in Red Wing,the Arbors Assisted Living Center, and the Meadows facility in Wyoming. Page 5 MINUTES OF�THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVAIZD WEST, CONTINUED) Kang asked if these facilities are close to capacity. Nokleby-Kaiser stated the budgeted occupation is 93 to 95 percent due to turnover, and at the present all facilities are at their budgeted occupancy except for the one building that opened�last year. Schoenzeit asked whether any of the residents receive public assistance or whether all the facilities are for profit. Nokleby-Kaiser indicated it depends on what facility they reside in and that they have limited participation in that type of assistance given the lower rate of compensation. Typically 10 percent of each facility has residents who receive some type of assistance. Schoenzeit asked whether this facility would also be approximately 10 percent. . Nokleby-Kaiser stated it would likely be 10 percent but that the exact percentage still needs to be determined. Kang asked which city would serve the facility for medical emergencies. Gaffron indicated it would likely come from the Orono Police Department and the Wayzata Fire Deparhnent. Gaffron indicated the Long Lake Fire Department serves all of Orono except for a one mile strip on the east,which this property likely falls into. Nolcleby-Kaiser noted they do have staff on hand 24 hours, seven days a week,which would eliminate the need for some of the emergency calls. They anticipate having fifteen staff inembers during the day and then at night it would range between two to four staff personnel but that the number of staff inembers depends on the amount of services being provided. Kang asked what type of security would be provided for the residents. ' Noldeby-Kaiser indicated the memory care building would be a locked building and the visitors would need to call either the nurse's station or the individual they are visiting to gain entry to the building. The memory care residents also need an access code to leave their floor. Dan Neudecker,Architect, displayed the design of the building and site plan. The two-story building will use manufactured stone at the base of the building and lap siding above. The site is adjacent to the Luce Line Trail. Due to the steep topography in the area,it will be difficult to provide access to that trail. There will also be a small storage structure on site adjacent to the building and a walking path around the building. There will be a drive-under canopy in front of the entrance of the building along with a front porch. Neudecker indicated they are proposing a fair amount of landscaping for the site. There is a substantial number of existing trees on site near the wetland as well as along Old Highway 12. The site is fairly well screened from two sides. Page 6 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST, CONTINUED) The memory care units would be located on a secured floor. The amenities include a commercial ldtchen, assisted living dining room, with the memory care unit having a separate dining room, a spa or bathing area,theatre,fitness area,library, and computer room. The typical unit plan would consist of a living room,bedroom, small kitchenette containing a range, and a bath/shower area. Some units will have larger bedrooms. The studio units will consist of a living room,bath, and kitchen area. Alexander displayed the proposed materials for the building to the Planning Comxnission. Feuss asked where the two non-wetland areas are located. Steve Johnston, Civil Engineer, stated those two areas are not depicted on the plan but they are in the area of the existing septic system for the daycare. The swale for the parking lot was created at the time the daycare facility was constructed and it has developed wetland characteristics over the years but it is not technically classified as a wetland. Feuss asked what would happen with those areas under this proposal. Johnston indicated they would be covered by the parking lot. Johnston noted the appropriate government agencies have looked at the so-called wetland areas and have determined they should not be classified as a wetland. Schoenzeit asked what the grade elevation the Luce Line Trail is and where it would hit the building. Schoenzeit commented it appears the trail would be at the roofline elevation. Johnston displayed two photographs taken from the Luce Line Trail. Johnston pointed out the roofline would be hidden by the berm on one end of the building and that the peak of the roof is actually eight feet higher than the trail on the other end. Neudecker indicated to the ridge of the roof is 30 feet. Schoenzeit stated the elevations are attractive from the grade of the parking lot but that the observers from the trail would get the appearance of a warehouse building. Schoenzeit suggested larger gable roofs be incorporated in the design to help break up the long, continuous roofline. Neudecker noted they are planning some gable roofs at the ends. They are a lower pitched gable roof at 24.5 feet, which is below the 30 feet allowed. Schoenzeit encouraged some thought be given to the appearance of the building from the Luce Line. Neudecker indicated they are also planning some landscaping,particularly evergreen trees, adjacent to the trail. Alexander stated their goal is to screen the building and to have it blend into the site. Page 7 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING , Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) Kang stated to her recollection the Planning Commission had recommended to the previous applicant that they incorporate landscaping to help screen the building from the Luce Line. Feuss commented with Staff's recommendation that additional trees be planted on the site,it will be a good improvement over what currently exists. Thiesse stated the building has a nice appearance but that the height of the roof appears high. Thiesse asked about the mechanical equipment. Gaffron pointed out the east half of the top of the T is flattened out to accommodate the commercial kitchen and mechanical equipment. Neudecker indicated that area will accommodate an e�aust hood and makeup air unit. Thiesse suggested the mansard be kept as tall as possible. Neudecker indicated that is their intention. � Alexander pointed out the height of the canopy is not correctly depicted on the plan and that the trees will actually tower over the building. (Hue Alexander leaves the meeting at 7:25 p.m.) Leskinen noted the last roof proposal from Welsh was not as tall and asked why that is not being proposed for this facility. Neudecker stated the difference between this proposal and the last proposal is that the ends of the building were stepped down where this one is one continuous roofline. Alexander pointed out that when you do the stepping down, it creates a larger roof area and that the gables they are proposing at the ends will help to soften the appearance of the roof. Gaffron asked whether the mechanical equipment is located in a depressed area of the roof. Neudecker indicated it is and that the mansard is approximately eight feet tall. Alexander pointed out from the Luce Line you will not be able to see the mechanical equipment. Thiesse asked whether mansards are currently allowed in Orono. Gaffron stated he was not aware that a mansard was proposed on the plan until earlier this evening and that he has not checked City Code to see what that would allow. The height would be measured from the top of the mansard and not to the average height of the roo£ Gaffron indicated he is not sure what the height measurement would be if the sloped roof would be continued up to a peak. Page 8 � MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON, 875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) Neudecker indicated it would be the same pitch. The roof height in that area would be 30 feet and the mansard roof is at 24 to 25 feet. Neudecker stated the kitchen is located on the first floor and they could attempt to run the exhaust out the side wall,which would not be very attractive. The exhaust for the grease,however,would need to run out the top of the roof. Alexander commented Kraus-Anderson is desirous of a well-constructed project that will stand the test of ' time. - Kang asked what type of deliveries would typically be made to the facility. Alexander stated there would be deliveries to the kitchen. Alexander pointed out the area where the deliveries would be made on the plan. Gaffron displayed plans from the previous Welsh application. Neudecker noted Welsh had proposed a much steeper roo£ Leskinen asked whether there would be a secured garden for the residents. Alexander indicated there is a secured garden depicted on the site plan. Chair Kang opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Kang closed the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Feuss commended Staff for their comprehensive report,and stated the only concern she would have is ensuring that the additional trees are included. Thiesse indicated he is in agreement with Commissioner Feuss. Kang stated she would lean more towards the additional screening rather than dictating the height of the rooflines. Leskinen stated she is in agreement with the additional screening and that the applicants are proposing a nice looking building. Schoenzeit stated Staff has made some good recommendations and that his preference would be to have the roofline changed slightly to enhance the view from the Luce Line but that he is okay with the additional screening in lieu of altering the roofline. Kang stated as it relates to Items No. 1 through 3 outlined on Page 2 of Staff's report,there does not appear to be any conflicts with City Code. Kang noted the traffic on this site will be limited and that she Page 9 MINUTES OF THE � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3498 KRAUS-ANDERSON,875 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,CONTINUED) does not have any concerns relating to the parlcing. As it relates to Items No.4 and 5,the applicant has done a good job addressing those concerns. Gaffron indicated he would prefer a sign closer to the entrance and that he would be willing to work with Hennepin County to see if that could be accomplished. Leskinen asked whether the entrance would be 24 feet wide. Neudecker indicated it would be. Kang commented it appears the applicant has complied with all of Staff s recommendations and have created a very thorough plan. Feuss moved,Leskinen seconded,to recommend approval of Application#11-3498,Kraus- Anderson, 875 Wayzata Soulevard West,Residential Planned Unit Development(RPUD)Master Development Plan&RPUD Conditional Use Permit, subject to the conditions outlined in Staff s report. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. 3. #11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,BOAT CLUB CONDITIONAL USE PEItMIT,7:45 P.M.—8:50 P.M. Gaffron stated Staff is proposing to add a numerical parking requirement to the B-2 standards. Currently The B-2 standards do not specify a numerical pazking requirement for boat clubs. Orono has five commercial marinas on Lake Minnetonka. All are zoned B-2 Lakeshore Business District. They comprise approximately 0.7 mile or 2 percent of Orono's 40.4 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline. The marinas share a number of characteristics that make them unique as compared to most other lakeshore uses. Orono's B-2 District has allowed boat clubs as a conditional use since 1995. Although not strictly � defined in the Code, our working definition of a boat club goes back to the discussions that resulted in the 1995 revisions of the B-2 District ordinances. At its simplest, a boat club is a time-share situation in which multiple persons have the right to share in the use of a single boat. This may have a number of permutations, such as having the right to share in the use of a variety of different boats. The critical factor is the potential for a given boatto be used on many more occasions in a given time period as compared to a boat used only by its owner. Because of the potential for boat clubs to create more intensive use of a marina site,boat clubs are a conditional use within the B-2 District and cannot be operated unless a conditional use permit is obtained. CUPs are issued to the owner of the property,not to a lessee or tenant,because the CUP becomes a property right. Application for a boat club CUP must be made by the property owner,not merely by the tenant. Any CUP approved will be granted to the owner and tied to the property, with conditions that would apply to any boat club operator at the site. Page 10 � MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,CONTINUED) The B-2 District Standards of the zoning code do not distinguish between the property owner and lessees in terms of operation requirements. The property owner is responsible for the property remaining in compliance with the code regardless of the leases it may choose to enter into with tenants. As a conditional use,under current code the boat club use will only be allowed if it can be shown by the property owner that adequate parking is available on the site to accommodate that business operation in addition to all other approved operations on the site. The premise behind this ordinance requirement is that a time-share boat club operation has the potential to create a higher level of use than a standard single-user/single-owner situation; for instance,because of the potential for overlapping parking needs of back-to-back users. The basic parking requirement of six stalls for each 10 slips assumes no more than 60 percent of boats being used at a given time, one car per boat. This standard has been in effect since creation of the B-2 District when the average pleasure boat stored at Orono's marinas was significantly smaller than today. With today's variety of large boats holding many passengers,there is a potential for inadequate parking at busy times,if passengers for a single boat arrive in separate vehicles. This may be exacerbated by a boat club if back-to-back uses result in the need for parking overlap, or if boat club members and their guests arrive in multiple vehicles. Because our marinas are all on busy county roads,nearby street parking is extremely limited and is to be avoided. Demonstration of parking adequacy for a boat club on the property should include a detailed written description of how the overall site is used,how the boat club operates,hours of operation,what space on • the site is used for offices or other purposes,whether it is staffed full-time,how many employees at any given time, etc. other factors that come into play include the passenger capacity of club boats,what percentage of the marina slips are devoted to club boats,how many members per boat, and how much of a time interval is there between uses of a given boat. Many of these are all operational factors that can make a parking situation succeed or fail. For the Sailors World boat club CUP, approval was granted for a 100-member maximum boat club use subject to maintaining the exclusive availability of 25 off-site parking stalls during May through September with the City reserving the right to reconsider if parking issues or inadequacies arise at the marina or at the off-site parking location. None of the five Orono marinas are adjacent to private off-site parking facilities. Sailors World for a number of years had an agreement with the Minnetonka Art Center for parking,which is approximately 3/8ths of a mile wallcing distance from the marina. The current status of that arrangement is not known. While off-site parking combined with a shuttle service may be technically feasible,whether it is a practice that should be used to allow for a boat club use where parking is inadequate is an item for discussion. Note that it would not be appropriate to accept a plan for off-site marina parking at one of the public landings. For most,if not all, of Orono's marinas,parking availability is already an issue given the number of slips each has historically maintained. Increased parking requirements to allow addition of a boat club use may not be possible at all of them.. The feasibility and appropriateness of off-site parking is a factor to consider. Page 11 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February22,2011 - 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,CONTINUED) Only one of Orono's give marinas currently has a boat club CUP. That is the Sailors World operation at 1955 Shoreline Drive. Staff is aware of one additional boat club operator who plans to open at the Marine Max site in 2011. Under the current code,that operator,in conjunction with the owner of the property, needs to apply for and obtain a boat club CUP in order to operate this year. The Planning Commission should consider the following issues: 1. Does the City need to have a minimum numerical parking standard for a boat club use; 2. If so,how should that standard be established and what factors should enter into the standards; 3. What specific conditions should be written into a CUP approval resolution in order that the Approval can be flexible for a boat club operator while providing the City with a means to Revisit a CUP if parldng becomes an issue; 4. Is the use of off-site parking a practice that should be allowed generally for ancillary marina Uses such as boat clubs,or is it to be avoided; � 5. Are there non-parking factors that would make a boat club CUP inappropriate for a given site? Staff believes that the CUP is an appropriate method to regulate boat clubs rather than licensing,but issuance of the CUP must include provisions/conditions that allow a reaction to changing factors. Kang asked how the 25 parking spaces for Sailors World were arrived at. Gaffron indicated he is unsure how that number was determined and that there is nothing in the record that reflects that. Leskinen asked how the existing CUP for Sailor's World would be impacted if any changes are made to the parking requirements. Gaffron stated there is one existing CUP issued to Sailors World and that the City has not received any complaints from the adjoining property owners regarding parking. Gaffron indicated he would need to speak to the City Attorney to determine the impacts the new amendment would have on the existing CUP. Chair Kang opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. � Mike Sayler, Sailors World, stated he would like to give an overview of how their boat club operates. Sailors World has been in existence since the early 1990s. In the 1990s,they had approximately 50 to 55 members and in the mid 1990s their membership grew to around 100 members. They have not experienced any problems with parking over the years. The Crystal Bay Postal Office is also available for parking on the weekends. Sayler indicated they have a power club and a sail club. Sailors World owns three power boats and one pontoon. Seven members are assigned to one boat,which is a 7:1 ratio. Generally a member pays a fee Page 12 � MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,CONTINUED) for the summer, which entitles him to 15 boat reservations and he can have two reservations on the books at any one time. On the weekdays,the boats were typically not used,which has led them to create a weekday membership rate. They have had only three members take advantage of that. On the weekends, the members are allowed to use the boats starting at 9 a.m.to 2 p.m. and then from 3 p.m. on. Sailors World has never experienced any problems with parking with the possible exception of the 4`�'of July weekend. On the 4th of July, each slip member and boat member are given a parlting pernut. If they do not have a parking permit,they are asked to park somewhere else. Sailors World has not found a need to regulate parking at all since they first started the boat club. In the past five years,they have had approximately 29 members. As a result of the lower membership,they do not experience any issues with the parking. Sayler submitted a letter from the adjacent neighbor indicating that he has not had a problem with the parlcing. Sayler stated he has spoken with the other neighbors and they have indicated they are willing to write a letter if necessary stating they have not experienced any problems with parking. On busy weekends,if extra parking is required, a couple of the neighbors allow the employees to park in their driveways. � Kang asked how many parking spaces are available at Sailors World. Sayler indicated they have a total of 43 parlcing spaces and that typically less than half of their membership uses their boats on a normal weekend. � . � Thiesse asked how the ordinance would affect Sailors World. " Sayler commented in his view it would have a detrimental impact on their business since people do not want to have to park further away and then be shuttled. Thiesse stated the concern of the City is that the use goes with the property and that the parlcing has to be fair for everyone. Sayler stated in practicality no one would ever fill their marina with boat club boats. Thiesse commented nowadays people do not want the hassle of owning their own boat and that in his view boat clubs is a good idea. Sayler pointed out that there are a limited number of boat slips on Lake Minnetonka and that it would not be practical to convert all the marinas into boat clubs. Schoenzeit asked whether there is any parking of trucks and trailers. Sayler indicated they typically do not have anyone parking their truck and trailer in their parking lot. Luke Kujawa,Your Boat Club, stated he has had a number of discussions with Mike Gaffron regarding the ordinance. Cunently a CUP is required. Boat clubs are solving a number of issues that are facing Page 13 � MINUTES OF THE � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666, CONTINUED) marinas and the public by granting public access to the lake. Boat clubs also allow more families to utilize boats periodically without the need to maintain and haul them. Kujawa stated the definition of a boat club is an ambiguous term currently and that insurance companies as well as banks consider it boat rentals. More and more families are sharing ownership of a boat. Kujawa stated he understands the City needs to deal with parldng,but that for the average person,boating is getting to be unaffordable and that boat clubs addresses that need. Parking has not been in issue in the past. Kuj awa commented it would make sense to include the boat clubs as an aecessory use and that the City could require an annual review of the parking. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to put a numerical number on the parking, it should apply only to the charter boat services since they will have 100 people showing up around the same time and that it makes sense to have a number of parldng spaces designated for that. Having the number based on the maximum gross capacity of the boat does not make sense since most boats are not filled to capacity. Kujawa stated as far as parking itself,the current system works well. Kujawa noted he would never have a 30-foot cruiser in his boat fleet that would accommodate 20 to 30 people and that he currently has fishing boats, ski boats, and pontoons. They seldom have all their boats out at the same time and that they have an hour and a half turnover time between the morning usage time and the afternoon usage time. Feuss asked whether any of the five boat clubs that he operates are located in Orono. Kujawa indicated they started one last year at the marina on Shoreline Drive. Gaffron noted they were not allowed to operate a boat club at that location this past year and that they will be meeting tomorrow to discuss a permit. Schoenzeit asked if they are subletting from a commercial marina. Kujawa indicated they are and that boat clubs help marinas take advantage of their downtime. Leskinen asked whether they have parking restrictions at any of their other facilities. Kujawa indicated they do not. - Thiesse asked if they offer shuttle services. Kujawa stated they do not and that people generally are not interested in it and would prefer onsite parking. Schoenzeit noted Mr.Kujawa's boat club only has six slips and asked how the boat club is staffed. Kujawa indicated they are staffed pretty much full time every day. Kujawa stated the marinas view boat clubs as a positive and that they sometimes assist the marinas with their boats. Page 14 � MINUTES 0F THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING . Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,CONTINUED) Todd Nelson,Wayzata Boat Works, stated most people do not use their boats during the week and that . the busiest time is 4"'of July. They do not have a problem with parking. Boating has become out of reach for a number of families and boat clubs allow those families to have access to the lake. Parking has never been an issue and boat clubs will not make it an issue. People schedule times that they want to use the boats and there is a limited number of boats. Mike Hilbelink, Sailors World,stated he has a concern with the direction the ordinance could go and how . it could negatively impact the overall value of the marinas. Marinas provide a great service and access to the lake. The parking requirements appear to be arbitrary and that he would suggest the City speak with the adjoining property owners to see whether parking has ever been a problem. The marinas need parking for the people who own boats and that parking is a site specific issue for each particular marina. Hilbelink noted the 25 parking spots have not been contracted for by Sailors World for the last 12 years and he would like to see that eliminated from their conditional use permit. It appears the City is attempting to put restrictions on the marinas for what appears to be a possible problem one day of the year,which is 4`�'of July. Dave Briggs,Wayzata Marina and Maxwell Bay Properties, stated over the last five years ownership of three marinas has changed. Going back 15 to 20 years,there were a number of issues that the City had with marinas,but in the last few years those problems have not surfaced. Technically boat clubs and rentals use parking more than other uses but that certain marinas do have higher usages. Briggs stated in his view there should be some rules regulating parking. They currently have boat sales,marina, and service,but if another boat club moved into Orono,there would be parking issues. Briggs encouraged the Planning Commission to give some thought to the future parking needs. Chair Kang closed the public hearing at 8:37 p.m. Kang sta.ted determining the parking needs in relation to the number of slips has been difficult and that she would like to avoid a highly regulated situation but that there needs to be some guidelines. Kang stated she personally would like some additional time to consider the ordinance. Feuss commented she does not see any facts to support the need for this code amendment and that there does not appear to be a clearly defined objective that the City is attempting to resolve. Feuss stated she is uncomfortable with creating additional regulation without understanding the facts better and that she would like to make sure that the City defines that goal as clearly as possible. Feuss noted boat clubs are not adequately defined,and if the City is looking at concerns with parking issues,the City should also look at rental boats,multiple owners, definition of a boat club,and other uses that would impact parking besides boat clubs. Feuss stated she is not comfortable making a recommendation at this time. Thiesse indicated he is in agreement with Commissioners Kang and Feuss. Parking is an arbitrary thing and that the City should look at the future parking needs for the marinas. Thiesse pointed out that a conditional use permit goes with the property and that appropriate care needs to be taken prior to the approval of any CUP. Page 15 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666, CONTINUED) Thiesse commented he was not aware there was downtime between the morning and afternoon usage, which does help alleviate some of the parking issues. Thiesse stated he would prefer Staff put together a conditional use permit that outlines the operation of each individual business and then require an annual review. Schoenzeit stated the ratio for the boat club does not appear excessive. Schoenzeit recommended the City continue to have an annual review process regardless of what route they chooses to take. Schoenzeit commented that they have heard a lot of,it's not broken, don't fix it,but that in his view further discussion of the parking issue is appropriate. Schoenzeit stated he appreciates the input of the boat club owners. Leskinen commented the input of the boat club owners has been valuable and that she is in agreement with the other commissioners that there does not seem to be a clearly defined problem that needs to be fixed. Kang commented it appears that the Planning Commission and Staff needs to think about future parking issues that could arise and to clearly define those. � Kang moved,Feuss seconded,to table Application#11-3500, City of Orono,Amend City Code Section 78-666,Boat Club Conditional use Permit. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. Gaffron asked whether the Planning Commission would like any specific additional information provided. Feuss stated she would like to see a clearly defined goal that the City would like to achieve and have Staff outline the options the City could take to achieve that goal. Kang indicated she would like to have the definition of boat clubs better defined and the pros and cons of accessory uses outlined. Schoenzeit noted the City already has some control over the parking with the annual review and that they could require the marinas and/or boat clubs at that time to take some steps to resolve a parking problem if one occurs. Kang stated perhaps one solution would be to have the marinas provide a parking plan for the entire year or for the 4�'of July. Feuss stated she would like to see the problem that they are attempting to fix be more clearly defined. Gaffron noted the City does have an annual licensing process,which has not been followed thoroughly in the past but could be reviewed by Staff to see whether that would be a viable option. Lesldnen asked whether there is a way to deal with this within the conditional use permit process if the permit process is nof a good option. Page ' 16 � . MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, February 22,2011 - 6:30 o'clock p.m. (#11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666, CONTINUED) Gaffron noted the City currently licenses garbage haulers and a few other businesses,but does not utilize that process very often. Gaffron stated approximately 30 years ago there were a number of issues with the marinas,but that over the past 10 years or so they have not encountered many problems. Gaffron indicated Staff is attempting to look at issues that may arise in the future and how to deal with those. . Gaffron noted there will be an application coming before the Planning Commission in the near future for the Brown's Bay site. At this point it will be processed as a conditional use permit route and the Planning Commission has the option of placing different conditions on the use. PLANNING COMMMISSION COMMENTS 4. REPORT OF PLANIVING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ON JANUARY 24,2011,AND FEBRUARY 14,2011 Thiesse reported on the January 24`i'meeting. The City Council dealt mainly with issues relating to the Crystal Bay Road project,particularly as it relates to the median and the landscaping. The Council � � decided that the landscaping isn't for aesthetic purposes and that it is designed to deter pedestrian traffic. The School District will perform maintenance on the landscaping. Schoenzeit asked if the roundabouts are good for queuing. , Thiesse noted there will not be left turns allowed. Gaffron stated the engineers have done a number of different modeling scenarios and that they will also do some queuing scenarios as part of their studies. The city engineers are worldng closely with the school on the road design and the school has been very supportive of the proposed design. (Feuss leaves the meeting at 8:55 p.m.) Thiesse noted that Ralph Kempf encouraged the City Council to focus some attention on the Navarre area. The Gillespie Center also provided a presentation at the January 24th meeting. Kang stated at the February 14`t'meeting, a representa.tive from the cable commission spoke to the council about televising their meetings. Gaffron noted the sound system cabling is scheduled to be done this Thursday. Kang noted the Orono meetings will be televised on Friday evenings at 7 p.m. Kang indicated Ralph . Kempf also spoke at the meeting on the 14`�'about the Navarre area and the need to provide an additional trail connection between the business district and the Dakota Trail. Gaffron stated he is waiting for the City Council to establish their goals for the future and that it is likely the Navarre area will be revisited.

Representing Staff were City Administrator Jessica Loftus,Assistant City Administrator of Long Term Strategic Planning Mike Gaffron,Planning Coordinator Melanie Curtis,Planning Assistant Christine Mattson, Consulting City Planner Ben Gozola, and Recorder Jackie Young. Council Member Cynthia Bremer arrived at 6:43 p.m., and Planning Commissioner John Thiesse arrived at 6:47 p.m. The work session was called to order at 5:38 p.m. NEW BUSINESS FIARDCOVER REGULATIONS UPDATE Ben Gozola thanlced the City Council/Planning Commission for allowing him to speak tonight. Gozola noted he has 12 years of planning and zoning experience and currently works for approximately 12 cities. Gozola noted on January 24,2011,the City Council authorized City Staff to begin the process of updating .the City's regulations governing hardcover. One of the purposes of tonight's meeting is to discuss the general overarching goals that Staff should use as guideposts throughout the review process of the City's hardcover regulations. Staff will be seeking consensus from the group as to what general outcomes are being sought. Some of the overarching project goals to discuss include the following: 1. Simpli�cation of the regulations so all parties understand what is required and how to comply. 2. Continuance of historically stringent standards for the protection of local water bodies. 3. Greater options for citizens to legally comply with code requirements in light of the revised variance standard established by the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2010. 4. Openness to new technologies as they may arise. 5. A transitioning of the City's focus away from"meeting minimum standards" towards "achieving desired results." 6. Reaffirming Orono as a civic leader in hardcover management policy. Gozola asked if there were any additional overarching goals that should be included. Kang commented the bullet that talks about transitioning from meeting minimum standards to achieving desired results is a good goal. Kang stated the City needs to clearly define what its desired results are. McMillan stated the original philosophy of Orono was fairly comprehensive and helped to reduce the Page 1 t ' , ORONO JOINT PLANIVING COMMISSION c� � & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 � 5:30 o'clock p.m. hardcover in the 0-75 foot zone and reduce the massing on the lots,but over time the regulations grew more complicated. Orono has achieved a great outcome over the years but the regulations should be simplified and adjusted to today's technology. Rahn commented simplification of the regulations should be a primary goal to make it more understandable by contractors and builders,which would reduce the time that Staff has to spend explaining the regulations. Rahn stated the amount of hardcover currently allowed by the City is at a good level but that the different zones contribute to the confusion. Rahn stated the City should determine whether they want to continue with the different zones. McMillan commented that the smaller lots and different shapes of the lots can also be problematic at times. Kang stated that it appears from the comments that appearance and massing is also another major component. Rahn sta.ted the other item he would like to see is uniformity between the lakeshore cities and that the City should look at what other cities are doing for setbacks and hardcover. . Gozola pointed out the tiering concept is unique to Orona Leskinen stated she would like to see the terminology be consistent throughout the regulations and that a decision needs to be made on what constitutes an impervious surface. Schoenzeit stated performance standards would allow the applicant and the City some flexibility to bring the plan into compliance. Performance standards would also put the burden on the applicant rather than having the Planning Commission redesign the plan or suggest modifications. In addition,the City should identify where the 50 percentile is in the variances,which may eliminate some of the customary variances. McMillan stated a lot of comments that they receive from applicants relates to the amount of money that they have paid for the lot and that they complain they are not allowed to construct whatever they want on the lot. . Franchot stated the City needs to be careful about institutionalizing circular logic. McMillan commented part of the problem is that people are not aware of the City's hardcover regulations. Franchot stated he is not familiar with the number of variances that are granted in relation to the overall activity of the Planning Department,which would be helpful to lmow. Franchot indicated he understands how the City evolved into their current regulations,but that the decisions are beginning to feel somewhat arbitrary. Franchot stated the City should focus on outcomes that are desirable and talk about standards; which would make the regulations logical to the applicants. Bremer stated a number of people have asked the City Council to eliminate the zones,which is now one of the items being proposed. Bremer noted the different zones have been established to help limit structure and hardcover near the lake,but that she does not want to go away from Orono being the Page 2 � ORO�TO JOINT FLANNING COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. forerunner of protecting the lake,"which should be their number one concern. Bremer indicated the City � should also be open to new technology and look at the number of variances that have been granted in the past. � Bremer indicated her second concern is that she does not want residents to be upset that they have been denied under the old regulations and that she does not want to give the impression that those rules have been changed almost overnight. Bremer noted the City routinely denies decks because they exceed the hardcover numbers. Curtis stated one of the project goals is to hold open houses and meetings to bring forth that input by the residents. Gozola noted they will be able to document the questions/input by the public and the process the City went through in changing its regulations. Gozola pointed out that even if the code is simplified,that does not mean it will be easier to get a variance. Schwingler stated simplifying the process does not necessarily make it easier to obtain a hardcover variance. Schwingler stated it is not the Planning Commission's job to redesign the applicant's plans and . that the regulations should not be less stringent but to have language that is easier to understand by the applicants. Bremer asked if the Planning Commission feels that applicants tend to propose their hardcover numbers at a higher level because that will allow them some leeway with the Planning Commission. Bremer noted Staff does inform the applicants of the hardcover regulations and that most local builders are aware of the numbers. Bremer stated the City Council should stick with one particular number. Schoenzeit reiterated there should be some performance standards that have to be met for the extra hardcover. Bremer noted under the recent Supreme Court ruling,they are not allowed to swap hardcover for a variance. Curtis pointed out they would be viewed as performance standards and not a variance. McMillan asked when the hardcover regulations originated in the City. Gaffron indicated they started in the 1970s and evolved due to questions by the developers and builders over what would be allowed, such as a shared driveway and what percentage is allocated to each property. There were also questions over what is considered hardcover and what is not hardcover. Back in the 1980s,there was a discussion regarding plastic under rock versus fabric,which raised a concern that people would create rock gardens within the 0-75 foot zone and plastic was subsequently banned. The 1980 Comprehensive Plan helped to document the vision of the City. Gozola stated there appears to be agreement for simplification of the code, consistent terminology throughout the code,outcome based regulation versus a hard cap on hardcover,and providing options for people to meet the code,which would allow for some flexibility in meeting the City's stringent regulations. Page 3 r ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMIVIISSION � & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. Franchot pointed out the group has not really approved those specific goals but have indicated they would like those ideas explored. From a process standpoint,the City needs to clearly identify the goals and the desired outcomes and should avoid jumping too quickly at the answers without looking at it from all angles. � Gozola indicated he has some specific items he has identified within the code that the group may want to consider. Staff would request the group identify additional aspects of the current policy which must be retained,things people have historically liked, and things about the current policy that people feel must change. Gozola stated the first area deals with multiple terms that are cunently used throughout code to address the issue of impervious surface. Hardcover is essentially defined as anything that interferes with direct absorption of rainfall into the ground. Lot coverage is essentially defined as area covered by structures while hard surface is undefined and impervious coverage is undefined. Bremer noted the term typically used in Orono is structural coverage rather than lot coverage and that she would recommend the term lot coverage be changed to structural coverage. Schwingler asked whether other cities use lot coverage. Bremer stated they use lot coverage to define hardcover. Franchot commented there is not much confusion about what lot coverage is,but that his sense is that the term hardcover has caused a number of problems since there is some deviation in thought on what hardcover truly is. Decks, for example, are considered hardcover even though they have openings in them,which has caused some consternation on the part of the applicants. Consistent terminology and clear definitions would help to overcome that. Gaffron stated another example of inconsistency is gravel that is driven on is considered hardcover while gravel that is not driven on is not considered hardcover. Gaffron commented they have had people in the past put holes in their plastic to make it nonhardcover,which required Staff to inspect it. Curtis noted geotextile fabric is not allowed for landscaping but it is exempted when it is used on a mound system. McMillan stated one of the overall goals is to make the terminology more consistent throughout the regulations. Bremer asked whether other cities have more consistent definitions. � Gozola indicated there are some consistencies in what is considered hardcover but that there are also some inconsistencies, such as the hard packed gravel, decks, and landscaping. Plastic is always considered hardcover but that other cities do accept the geotextile fabric. Gozola commented that enforcement does become a problem over time. Leskinen agreed the group should look at whether hardcover could possibly be tied into performance Page 4 � - ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION • Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. standards. � Gozola stated area two deals with soffits. Soffits that are in excess of two feet have historically been considered hardcover but that the following are issues that are raised periodically: -Surfaces under soffits are typically not hardcover; -Surveyors are ostensibly being asked to verify a point above ground on as-built surveys; -Limits architectural styles and roof types; -Is there any desire to see this changed if it can be justified. McMillan commented in her view the City should lighten up on some of the hardcover regulations and that she personally feels bigger roof overhangs should be promoted more since they help keep water away from the house. , Rahn stated at the time it was discussed,it was felt that anything over two feet would be considered hardcover but that the property owner could have whatever size overhang they wanted. Gaffron noted the Council did look at that but never came to a final decision. McMillan stated she personally would like some leeway on that since it affords some protection against water coming into the house. Franchot commerited that is probably one of the items that appears arbitrary to the residents. Curtis stated that item was made more consistent in the last few years with the City's nonencroachment regulations. J Franchot stated the method the City follows sometimes appears to be arbitrary,which has been a complaint raised in the past by applicants. The City should look at it in the context of how it can be made less arbitrary,which would also help ease the burden on Staff. Franchot commented there needs to be a good balance between how that is accomplished and the City's goal of clean water, etc. Curtis stated typically the surveyors do not denote things above grade,which creates some issues for Staf£ � Theiss stated if the goal of the City is to have good infiltration of water, a two-foot overhang provides the ability for the ground to absorb the water;whereas an eight-foot overhang prohibits water from infiltrating the ground near the house. Rahn pointed out they are not limiting the design but rather the hardcover. Gozola stated the third area is whether the City should regulate all properties in the City. Current regulations seem to ignore non-shoreland areas unless they are zoned industrial,RPUD or PRD. While there are"lot coverage" regulations affecting all properties within the City,it appears current hardcover regulations are limited to the shoreland district, industrial district,RPUD district,and PRD areas. It appears that nonshoreland areas which are not in an industrial,RPUD or PRD district do not have hardcover requirements. Page 5 ORONO JOINT PLANNING CONIlVIISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. Franchot asked what area is considered shoreline. Gaffron indicated it would be the first 1000 feet near the lake. Most of the rural area away from the lake is not subject to hardcover regulations. Gozola stated all of the properties feed into the water system regardless of whether they are considered shoreland properties or nonshoreland properties. Gozola asked whether the City is interested in looking at including those lots that are not currently included. Bremer commented in her view they should be looked at since the hardcover impacts appearance and massing. Curtis noted the reason the industrial,RPUD and PRD district have hardcover regulations is because they have been created within the last ten years. � McMillan commented that Orono does have a tremendous amount of wetlands within the City,which helps to filter the water before it reaches Lake Minnetonka. , McMillan asked whether the City should be more aggressive on industrial/commercial lots. Gaffron noted that all of the City's indusixial lots far exceed the hardcover limits and that the City should be more aggressive in requiring different types of ponding on industriaUcommercial properties. McMillan commented that NURP ponds can also be expensive to maintain over time,but that the City � could incorporate a number of different requirements to help infiltrate the water in those areas. Gaffron recommended that there be a different set of standards for the industrial districts. McMillan commented that rain gardens are becoming more popular on industrial sites and that they are easier to monitor on those sites versus residential lots. Franchot stated one of the issues the City struggles with is that the regulations are written from the perspective of starting with a vacant lot,which is often not the case. The question then becomes,how does the City transition from where we are with the things that we don't like to where we like them. Franchot indicated small lots are a classic example of lots that meet very few of the City's minimum standards. Franchot recommended that as part of this process the City spend some time thinking about ways to improve Navarre and make it a better place to live. Gozola stated to achieve something like that, the City could build in some incentives to have those types of investments. Franchot commented one of the reasons people come in here asking for something is that their neighbor has it,but they are not always aware that some of those items were previously allowed but are no longer allowed. . Page 6 � � ORONO JOINT PLANIVING COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. Schoenzeit stated it is more likely in Orono to have someone spend a fair amount of money to build something to help infiltrate the water rather than lose a significant amount of parking lot and that performance standards would allow the City to be more proactive. Gozola indicated the current code also includes a provision granting credits when shared driveways are � used,which is one way to reduce hardcover. Things for the group to consider are: One, does the City want to continue this practice; and two,the Code does not appear to give property owners credits when public roads or other hard surfaces are accidentally built outside of easements or right-of-way. Gozola asked whether the City would also like to provide credits where there are encroachments on someone else's lot. Bremer noted that while it does not appear in the Code,the City Council does give the property owner credit for that when the application is before the CounciL Rahn asked whether they are speaking of residential properties with the shared driveways. Bremer indicated they are. Rahn stated he would like to eliminate shared driveways between residential properties since it tends to create problems in the future. Rahn suggested a penalty be imposed rather than an incentive. Gozola commented that is actually a common sentiment in other cities. Gaffron indicated that provision came about in an effort to address existing situations rather than as an incentive to have shared driveways. McMillan asked whether any credit is currently given to people who have a shared driveway. McMillan stated one of the problems is the configuration of the lot and the driveway,which sometimes creates long driveways. Curtis noted the City does have minimum standards for driveways,but that a long,thin lot requires a longer driveway. Bremer stated in the past the 15 percent structural coverage number was imposed very strictly and that they were given a minimal driveway. McMillan noted the City also has minimal standards for things such as driveways and sidewalks. Bremer stated the average lakeshore setback,which is intended to preserve the view of the lake, also helps to reduce the length of the driveway by pulling the house back away from the lake and closer to the street. - Curtis commented the 15 percent structural coverage limit is helpful to Staff. Gozola stated another area of the code he would recommend the group look at is their tiered system. The City has historically protected the first 75 feet of area beyond the OHW and uses a tiering system for hardcover beyond that point. Page 7 ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION � & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION • Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. Gozola requested the group consider the following: -Does the City wish to continue its policy of strict protection of the first 75 feet beyond the OHW? -Is the City interested in maintaining their policy of hardcover tiering? Or is the City more interested in maintaining similar to better results than what is obtained through the current policy? -The ability to transfer allowable hardcover from one zone to another seemingly transforms a difficult to implement policy into an administrative nightmare. Poor documentation at aity hall could easily result in different future hardcover interpretations,new surveys, and bad feelings all around. Staff would suggest the approach which comes out of this process be easy to understand by all parties and easy to document. Gaffron indicated the goal of the tiered system initially was to protect the 0-75 foot zone by not allowing any hardcover and then to allow the next tier to have a limited amount of hardcover. The tiered system did not have anything to do with massing initially but rather infiltration. Schoenzeit noted the DNR has a standard of 50 feet. Curtis pointed out the City does not allow any credit for the 0-75 foot zone. Bremer stated it is 15 percent of the entire lot that is allowed for structure but that people get no credit for the 0-75 foot zone as it relates to hardcover. Some of the frustration and misunderstanding comes from the fact that people have to maintain that area but they are not allowed any hardcover in that zone. Rahn commented that someone with a larger 0-75 foot zone with a narrower lot on top can be restricted on their hardcover simply because of the conf'iguration of the lot even though they have the same setback. Franchot stated in his view the maj ority of the group likes the tiered system but that there is some frustration with how the discussion goes on particular applications. Franchot stated he cannot think of any other item that would create more controversy than changing the policies for the 0-75 foot zone and that in his view most people do not understand the need for infiltration,which then becomes an educational piece. Gozola noted other cities do not have a tiered system. Rahn stated to his belief Deep Haven was exploring the possibility of implementing a tiered system and that it would be interesting to see what discussion they had regarding that. McMillan asked whether the DNR has redone their shoreline regulations. � Curtis indicated the DNR is still working on that. Gozola stated the tiered system allows for differing amounts of hardcover throughout the different zones of the property. Page 8 t ORONO JOINT PLANI�TING COMIVIISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. Gozola indicated they will double check the code for consistency. One example of inconsistency is that decks are always considered hardcover but that there is another section that says you can add hardcover under your deck if certain conditions are met. Gozola recommended another area to be considered is whether the current ordinance compels citizens to comply with the regulations or encourages them to do things without proper permits or oversight. In addition, some thought should be given to how much additional survey costs citizens incur to demonstrate compliance to the current tier system and whether the permitting process is timely. Gozola asked whether there is anything about the current ordinance the group would like to discuss. Printup stated the common theme repeated tonight has been the need to ensure there are clear definitions, and that when the definitions are not consistent,it creates frustrated. ' Rahn concurred that consistency throughout the Code would be good. McMillan commented that another criticism she has received concerns gravel driveways and why they are not promoted more. McMillan stated there can also be issues with performance standards, such as pavers that are insta.11ed and then not maintained properly over the years and then they are paved over, or rain gardens being filled in after the property owner has been given credit for them. Performance standards are great if the residents know how to maintain the items. Lakeshore buffers are also another item that over time tend to become a maintenance nightmare. Loftus noted in Tonka Bay they started requiring easements over the improvements as well as access easements, with language allowing the City to assess the costs back to the property owner,which helps with the enforcement but created some anger among the residents. McMillan noted that Minnetonka also attempted that. Loftus stated that was the only way they could think of to gain access to a properly. Enforcement and access are huge issues and it will generate some anger. Gaffron stated they are dealing with that as it relates to wetlands and wetland covenants. Schwinger indicated that a lot of what they are dealing with is items relating to redevelopment and new technology. McMillan stated one of the best things people can do it aerate their lawn every fall to help with water absorption,which does not need to be spelled out in an ordinance but is more an education piece. Kang asked whether the City could provide a one page list of various resources to the residents. Loftus noted the City currently does that. McMillan suggested that information also be included on the City's web site. Bremer stated the question becomes,how do you stop people from finding ways to circumvent the Page 9 ORONO JOINT PLANIVING COMIVIISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSI'ON Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. regulations and how that can be built into the process. Gozola stated they do recognize the need for maintenance oversight and that will be taken into consideration as they go through this process. Gaffron stated another item the group may want to consider is stormwater quality rather than hardcover limitations. The goal behind limiting hardcover on a site is to increase the water quality of storm water entering into area water bodies. While limiting hardcover is certainly one way to achieve the goal,the group should consider whether there are other solutions that achieve the same goal. Gaffron stated the City will want to try to avoid the need to have builders, contractors and homeowners do some type of complicated calculation. . Curtis stated the City could also require a higher level of approval. If the resident is able to meet this new number, they are allowed to do it,but if it requires five percent more hardcover,then the City could incorporate additional best management practices,which could lead to a higher level of approval, such as requiring a conditional use permit. Gozola concurred that there could be ways to tier out the performance standards and hardcover regulations. Rahn stated new technology also needs to be considered as part of this process and that the City needs to motivate people to do the right thing, such as installing impervious pavers, and perhaps providing them some type of minimal credit for those types of items. Curtis commented when Staff speaks to a homeowner and they want a logical solution and you talk about arbitrary standards,they start to doubt where the City's intentions are. When they are told they can do something that is beneficial but they don't get credit for it,they become defensive. Schwingler indicated that is seen from applicants going before the Planning Commission because the rules do appear arbitrary. Bremer stated one of the things that should be gained from this process is that the City feels like what is being required is justified,has a rational basis, and is consistent. Whether or not the homeowners are happy cannot be the focus of this process or the regulations. Franchot concurred that is one of the goals and that it would be impossible to make everyone happy. One of the City's goals is to uphold Orono's rural character,which is in conflict with people's desire to do what they want with their properties. The rules need to make sense and be clear. Schoenzeit stated the City needs to be able to show that they have done the due diligence on the different technology. Gozola stated as it relates to the timeline, during March they will be in contact with the MCWD and DNR to get supplemental support for developing a template ordinance. In April the goal is to have the research completed on all final DNR and MCWD rules and look at possibly revising the timeline to accommodate �nal goals and objectives. The goal in May is to be able to hold city open house to introduce the process to the public, solicit Page 10 � ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5•30 o'clock p.m. potential focus group participants and get people on an e-mail distribution list to keep them informed. Once the focus group is established, Gozola indicated they would like to hold the initial focus group meeting to tell them the goals established by the Council/Planning Commission, explain their role in the process,provide background research that has already completed,and bring in expert presenters. In July they would like to meet with the Planning Commission to present options and receive feedback.A second open house would be held in either late June or early July,followed by the preparation of an initial draft ordinance for review by both the City Council and Planning Commission. In August they are aiming for public hearings at the Planning Commission, followed by approval by the City Council. Bremer asked whether this is a realistic timeline. Gozola indicated in his opinion it is a realistic timeline and pointed out that they are only reviewing one section of the code. Kang expressed a concern that a majority of the work with the public will be completed in July and August,which is the time when a number of the residents take vacations and are busy with other things. Gozola indicated he will take that into consideration if the amount of public feedback is minimal. McMillan asked if the open house is a means of finding potential members for the task force or whether Staff would be recruiting volunteers. McMillan suggested the first open house be a more informative session. Gozola indicated that is what he was envisioning for the open house. McMillan suggested that perhaps now would be a time to compile some people for the task force and that she would prefer the focus group be preliminarily assembled in the near future. Curtis stated if the open house is held prior to the ordinance being drafted,it lets the public know that the City is loolcing for their input. McMillan commented when she thinks of a focus group, they typically have a particular topic that they focus on, and that the City could have like a focus group open house where certain topics of the hardcover regulations are discussed. Franchot asked how many of these open houses Ben Gozola has participated in and what process he has found warks best in these situations. Gozola stated you typically hold at least one open house during a process like this. Gozola stated people come to the open houses to learn as well as vent over certain items. Having that opportunity to express their thoughts tends to satisfy the residents that they have had their opportunity to speak on the subject. They do plan to be constantly communicating with people throughout the process and Staff will also � available for comments and questions. Gozola indicated they would be immediately responding to questions of the residents. Franchot indicated he would prefer to defer to Ben Gozola on the actual process and to have the group Page 11 ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMNIISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. focus on the goals. Schwingler commented the last open house on the comprehensive plan,while it allowed people an opportunity to provide input and ask questions, gave the impression that the City had already completed the comprehensive plan and that their input really was not needed. Franchot commented that a number of the residents in attendance had the impression that the comprehensive plan was already completed. Franchot commented he believes the process outlined by Ben Gozola is a good one. Gozola indicated Staff feels it is critical to establish a focus group for this process and that the group has two important questions to address: One,who will sit on the focus group and,two,what input role will the focus group be given. Gozola suggested the focus group consist of one or two council members,one or two planning commissioners, a residential lakeshore owner, a residential nonlakeshore/nonshoreland owner, a local builder or architect familiar with Orono,and a commerciaUindustrial landowner. Gozola indicated he would prefer to keep the focus group relatively small. Schwingler recommended the members be limited to people who actually reside in the City of Orono. Schwingler pointed out Orono has two very different residential landowners, lakeshore and nonlakeshore, and that perhaps they should have someone from both groups on the focus group. Bremer noted there are also differences within the nonlakeshore group depending on the size of their lot. Gozola commented that it would be difficult to accommodate every group and still keep the focus group small. Rahn stated with that small sampling of volunteers,there could be a strong opinion one way or another by one or two people on the focus group and that a bigger number of people would help to rectify that. Gozola stated that it may be necessary to go out and approach certain individuals if not enough interest is expressed. Franchot stated there needs to be an identification of ideas and different perspectives,but that it would be helpful if the members of the focus group have experience and expertise in this area. Bremer recommended they start with a small group at first and perhaps reach out to other people with expertise in this area. Curtis asked if it is important that the builder/contractor actually live in Orono. Curtis commented that it is important they have ownership in Orono but that a commerciaUindustrial landowner may not live in Orono. The builder and contractor is the person Staff typically meets with before coming to the City and that she does not feel the person needs to live in Orono to be on the focus group but should perhaps work within the City and be familiar with the rules and regulations. Franchot stated that is the reason why it is important the City clearly define what it is they want the focus group to do. If the City wants to have a metering device that helps the process stay on track with Orono - values and vision,they should live in Orono. Page 12 ORONO JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION ;, Wednesday,March 2,2011 5:30 o'clock p.m. McMillan commented the important thing in her mind for the focus group individuals is they have the time and have the interest. Gozola indicated he was anticipating having one meeting a month for four months. McMillan stated she would like to have some or most of the focus group individuals on board before the open house, which would allow them to listen to the information being presented. Gozola stated they could identify some individuals prior to the open house and encourage them to attend the first open house. Bremer stated if there are outside contractors and/or builders that would be interested and have the time to be on the focus group, they should be included. Gozola thanked the group for providing their input�and indicated he will be providing a summary of the meeting in the near future. ADJOURNMENT .

Vee, City Clerk Lili Tod McMillan,Mayor Page 13 � � � 3 To: Chair Kang and Planning Commissioners Jessica Loftus, City Administrator From: Mike Gaffron,Asst. City Administrator-Long Term Strategy Date: March 17, 2011 Subject: #11- 3500 City of Orono - Zoning Code Amendment: Regulation of Boat Clubs Zoning District: B-2 Lakeshore Business District Eghibits A-Planning Commission Draft Minutes 2-22-11 B - Sample Marina Licensing Resolution- 1970s-80s C - Memo and Exhibits of 2-14-11 D - Letters Submitted by Neighbors to Sailors World at 2-22 PC Meeting At Planning Commission's February meeting a number of questions and concerns arose that resulted in tabling of the proposed amendment. Planning Commission noted that the term "boat club" is not clearly defined in the code, but needs to be carefully defined given the variety of boating options available today. Members questioned the need for parking standards for the boat club use, and asked staff to more clearly define the problem, to identify the objective the City would like to achieve, and to outline the options for achieving that objective. Additionally, Planning Commission suggested that other allowable uses within the B-2 District should be considered in terms of their impacts on parking. Definitions VJhile the Zoning Code does not specifically define "boat club", the entry within the Conditional Use section of the B-2 standards does specify that this term refers to "time share" situations. As noted in last month's discussion, during the Planning Commission's 1994 review of the B-2 Code the concept of boat club was informally defined as a situation in which there are "multiple persons sharing in the use of a single boat" (PC Minutes, January 4, 1994). This may occur via various methods;two that seem to be most common include: (1) Purchasing the right to share in the use of a variety of different boats owned by a single entity; or (2) Shared ownership and use of a single boat among multiple entities (fractional ownership). It has been suggested that a boat club structured per (1) is nothing more than a formalized method of boat renta.l, which is an allowed accessory use in the B-2 District. The zoning code does not define "boat rental". To differentiate between a boat club and boat rental, staff would suggest that in its most classic form, boat rental might be considered as a one-time transaction ' between a boat owner and a boat user for a single-day or short-term use, whereas a boat club suggests a longer-term relationship between the owner and user, for multiple uses on multiple occasions. Fractional ownership per (2) eliminates the transaction between the boat owner and the boat user, and therefore clearly does not fit the concept of a rental situation. The zoning code does not specifically address or attempt to regulate fractional ownership situations, yet they may have some of the same potential impacts as (1). J #11-3500 Boat Clubs March 17,2011 Page 2 The definition of"Boat Club" in Webster's On-line Dictionary reads as follows: "A boat club is a sports club based around boats, especially rowing and yachting, but also canoeing, motor boats and other small boats. A boat club has become more than just men in blazers smoking cigars and drinking cognac. It's evolved into a simple alternative to boat ownership. A boat club is an avenue for boaters who enjoy the boating lifestyle but might not have the time, skills, or dollars to get out on the water. Traditional boat clubs have been around for a century; however, the shared asset model concept has only been around a short time. The shared asset model is based upon the recent surge in fractional ownership. Consumers are looking to have all the benefits of owning luxury items from jets to handbags; without absorbing the brunt of the costs.The same holds true in boating. Consumers want to enjoy all the benefits of boating without all the hassles of boat ownership. Hassles are de�ned as the items not included in the sticker price of a boat, such as insurance, maintenance, storage, slip space, etc. By joining a boat club, members do not have to worry about these items. They simply make a reservation via phone or an online reservation system, get their boat and go. It's that simple. With some clubs, they offer other amenities such as a reciprocal program. The only other costs that the consumer pays, after a membership fee and monthly dues, is the gas they use. Boaters are not limited to what type or size of the boat they use. They get unlimited use of a fleet of boats. Membership � plans vary by fleet, location and types of boating." Differentiation between the concepts of"boat clubs", "fractional ownership" and "boat rental" in the zoning code may become important depending the level and type of regulation intended by the City. What is the Citv's Regulatorv Obiective? During the 1970s and 80s, the City expended a great amount of effort attempting to limit or curtail the impacts that marinas have on the use of Lake Minnetonka as well as on the land (see Exhibit B which is an example of the `boilerplate' language included within each marina's annual license approval during that period). Those efforts resulted in a number of marinas reconfiguring their in-water slips to meet City and LMCD standards. During the 1980s and 90s, the number of marinas in Orono declined by two - Stubbs Bay Marina was converted to 3 homesites, and Gayle's Marina became the DNR's Maxwell Bay Access. Also during this time, 3 of the remaining 5 marinas underwent complete renovation or replacement of their land-based facilities. � During the past 15 years, Orono's focus has shifted to ensuring that the commercial activity at its marinas does not spill over into the surrounding residential neighborhoods or roadways, and that the activity within the marina properties does not have negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods. Annual marina licenses issued in 1993 and later have been conditioned on the marina meeting the following Operational Standards: t #11-3500 Boat Clubs March 17,2011 Page 3 (1) Parking facilities on the site shall be managed so as to eliminate traffic or parking congestion, eliminate illegal on-street parking, and avoid pedestrian tr�c through neighboring property. ' (2)Boat engine testing and charging shall be limited to the hours 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (3) Retail sales and service shall be limited to the hours 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. except as • necessary to accommodate normal fishing activity or private use of premises-stored boats. (4) The site shall be kept neat and orderly, and free of garbage. (5) On-land storage of boats shall be managed so as to eliminate any view obstructions for traffic entering and leaving the site. (6) Parking and on-land storage of boats, trailers, materials and equipment shall be limited to those locations shown on an approved site operation plan, which plan shall be submitted or updated as part of the annual license application. Such site operation plan shall also indicate seasonally variable uses. (7)Lights shall be shielded from the road,the lake and adjacent properties. These standards were established in the City's marina licensing ordinance in 1993, iwo yeaxs prior to the B-2 District code revisions that made Boat Clubs a conditional use. Boat clubs were not addressed in the B-2 District prior to 1995. When boat clubs became a eonditional use, rather than esta.blishing a separate numerical standard for boat club parking requirements, the City chose to rely on Operational Standard (1) for parking management, but gave Council wide discretion by including as the only performance standard, "Applicant shall demonstrate that adequate parking is available on the site". Staff would suggest that the City's regulatory objective with boat clubs today is most clearly sta.ted by Operational Standard(1). Is There a Problem? The basis for raising this issue again in 2011 is simply that boat clubs appeax to be on the rise. There is no documentation that the one boat club operated in Orono since 1995 or earlier has caused any issues related to parking. The same concerns noted by the Planning Commission in 1993-94 about more intense use of a given boat under a boat club scenario, are the driving force behind this review of the B-2 standards for boat clubs (see comments in the December 1993 PC Minutes, Exhibit A-1 of 2-14-11 memo). Staff is aware of anecdotal evidence of boat club paxking issues at one other site on Lake Minnetonka not in Orono. It would be fa.ir to characterize those issues as a function of site operations management rather than purely inherent to the boat club use. � #11-3500 Boat Clubs March 17,2011 Page 4 What Are the Options? StafF would suggest there are a number of options for Planning Commission to consider: A) No Chan�e. Recommend no changes, continue the current status of boat clubs as a conditional use, and establish appropriate conditions for a given site at the time a CUP is requested. However, whatever conditions are established that would allow the City to limit or curtail the use in the future must articulate a rational basis for such curtailment. In other words, it is not enough to have a condition that the business can be curtailed if the Council decides there is a parking problem. It would be defensible however, if there is a numerical parking standard that we can show is not being met. B) Revise Boat Club Conditional Use Standards. In this option,Planning Commission could recommend that a numerical standard be established for parking relative to the number of boat club boats being operated. Adding a numerical standard creates an administrative tool that would automatically limit the allowed use to a certain level; the counter argument is that a numerical standard may be viewed by those being regulated as arbitrary and anti-business. Adding language that merely mirrors the provisions of Operational Standard (1) will again ultimately yield arguments at such future time it is being enforced, as to how it was determined that parking is a problem. Similarly, adding language that allows the City to review the use if parking becomes an issue, similar to the conditions placed on the 1995 CUP for Sailors World, becomes difficult to enforce unless it contains some verifiable standards by which to measure compliance. C) Interim Use Permit. The Interim Use Permit is a tool that might be very appropriate for the boat club use. An ItJP does not grant permanent rights that stay with the property; it can contain sunset provisions that make the use disappear if certain triggers are met. It can be subject to regular review. The NP is especially applicable in situations where the City is concerned about the impacts of a use and doesn't want to make a permanent commitment to allow the use. It is generally more acceptable for uses that do not require investments in infrastructure such as buildings,roads, etc. Planning Commission could recommend that the zoning code be amended by (a) adopting provisions to allow Interim Use Permits and then (b) removing boat clubs from the list of B-2 conditional uses and adding them to a new list of interim uses allowed in the B-2 District. Then, any request for a boat club CUP would be granted as an Interim Use Pernut, perhaps requiring a review or renewal every 2-3 years to determine whether or not the use should be allowed to continue. The basis for doing so would be that the boat club use may be appropriate under a given level of operation but if it becomes problematic, conditions would be in place to curtail or eliminate the boat club use. D) Make Boat Clubs an Accessorv Use. If Planning Commission feels that regulation of boat clubs as a conditional use is not appropriate because issuance of a CUP grants a perxnanent right to that use, an option might be to change their status to an allowed #11-3500 Boat Clubs March 17,2011 Page 5 . accessory use. In this case, the City would rely on the annual marina licensing reviews to address and resolve any issues that arise related to the boat club use. Optionally, a standard might be added to the accessory use listing that limits the level of the boat club use to a certain percentage of the marina's on-water slips (i.e. "Boat clubs that occupy no more than 25% of the on-water boat slips of a marina"). Any expansion beyond 25% would require a variance (?), or might have a corollary Conditional Use enlxy (i.e. `Boat clubs that occupy more than 25% of the on-water boat slips of a marina' would be a conditional use). . E) Other, or a combination of the above... Staff Recommendation Reliance on a set of regulatory criteria that does not contain clear standards by which compliance can be easily measured will be di�cult to enforce if the need arises. For that reason, staff is recommending that a numerical parking standard be established for the boat club use. While the marina owners/operators would prefer to not be bound by a standard that will potentially limit their use,the City needs to have some level of confidence in its ability to enforce its laws. Orono has licensed marinas since the 1960s. It has been suggested that annual review of a boat club operation could be tied to the annual marina license review process. However, staff is currently attempting to streamline the marina licensing process we have attempted to follow in the past. Issuance of annual marina licenses has often been delayed due to the perceived need to verify compliance with operational standards via a site inspection. Staff would prefer to separate the issuance of licenses from enforcement of specific zoning standards, which runs counter to the idea of an annual review of a boat club use as part of the licensing process. Given the options noted above, staff would recommend the interim use permit option be pursued, with a numerical standard for boat club parking, provisions for a review or renewal process at stated time intervals, and the ability to curtail the use if it becomes a problem. We acknowledge the marina operators' wishes to not be highly regulated. We understand Planning Commission's hesitation to recommend fixing a potential problem that doesn't yet exist. Staff is looking at the topic proactively and believes it would be in the City's best interest to have measurable and defensible standards to fall back on should boat clubs become an issue due to parking problems. Planning Commission Action Requested Planning Commission should discuss the options and their pros and cons, and make a recommendation to Council regarding the boat club use. � PC Exhibit A ` MINUTES OF THE � 0 ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING � Tuesday, February 22,2011 � � 6:30 o'clock p.m. � � 3. #11-3500 CITY OF ORONO,AMEND CITY CODE SECTION 78-666,BOAT CLUB CONDITIONAL USE PERNIIT,7:45 P.M.—8:50 P.M. Gaffron stated Staff is proposing to add a numerical parking requirement to the B-2 standards. Currently The B-2 standards do not specify a numerical parking requirement for boat clubs. Orono has five commercial marinas on Lake Minnetonka. All are zoned B-2 Lakeshore Business District. They comprise approximately 0.7 mile or 2 percent of Orono's 40.4 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline. The marinas share a number of characteristics that make them unique as compared to most other � lakeshore uses. Orono's B-2 District has allowed boat clubs as a conditional use since 1995. Although not strictly defined in the Code, our working definition of a boat club goes back to the discussions that resulted in the 1995 revisions of the B-2 District ordinances. At its simplest, a boat club is a time-share situation in which multiple persons have the right to share in the use of a single boat. This may have a number of permutations, such as having the right to share in the use of a variety of different boats. The critical factor is the potential for a given boat to be used on many more occasions in a given time period as compared to a boat used only by its owner. Because of the potential for boat clubs to create more intensive use of a marina site,boat clubs are a conditional use within the B-2 District and cannot be operated unless a conditional use permit is obta.ined. � CUPs are issued to the owner of the property,not to a lessee or tenant,because the CUP becomes a property right. Application.for a boat club CUP must be made by the property owner,not merely by the tenant. Any CUP approved will be granted to the owner and tied to the properly,with conditions that would apply to any boat club operator at the site. The B-2 District Standards of the zoning code do not distinguish between the property owner and lessees • in terms of operation requirements. The property owner is responsible for the property remaining in compliance with the code regardless of the leases it may choose to enter into with tenants. As a conditional use,under current code the boat club use will only be allowed if it can be shown by the property owner that adequate parking is available on the site to accommodate that business operation in addition to all other approved operations on the site. The premise behind this ordinance requirement is that a time-share boat club operation has the potential to create a higher level of use than a standard . single-user/single-owner situation;for instance,because of the potential for overlapping parking needs of back-to-back users. • The basic parking requirement of six stalls for each 10 slips assumes no more than 60 percent of boats being used at a given time,.one car per boat. This standard has been in effect since creation of the B-2 � District when the average pleasure boat stored at Orono's marinas was significantly smaller than today. With today's variety of large boats holding many passengers,there is a potential for inadequate parking at busy times, if passengers for a single boat arrive in separate vehicles: This may be exacerbated by a boat club if back-to-back uses result in the need for parking overlap,or if boat club members and their guests arrive in multiple vehicles. Because our marinas are all on busy county roads,nearby street parking is extremely limited and is to be avoided. Page 10 . . MINUTES OF THE D D ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING � Tuesday, February 22,2011 �%� � 6:30 o'clock p.m. � v Demonstration of parking adequacy for a boat club on the property should include a detailed written description of how the overall site is used,how the boat club operates,hours of operation,what space on the site is used for offices or other purposes,whether it is staffed full-time, how many employees at any � given time, etc. other factors that come into play include the passenger capacity of club boats,what percentage of the marina slips are devoted to club boats,how many members per boat, and how much of a time interval is there between uses of a given boat. Many of these are all operational factors that can make a parking situation succeed or fail. For the Sailors World boat club CUP,approval was granted for a 100-member maximum boat club use subject to maintaining the exclusive availability of 25 off-site parking stalls during May through September with the City reserving the right to reconsider if parking issues or inadequacies arise at the marina or at the off-site parking location. None of the five Orono marinas are adjacent to private off-site parking facilities. Sailors World for a number of years had an agreement with the Minnetonka Art Center for parking,which is approximately 3/8ths of a mile walking distance from the marina. The current sta.tus of that arrangement is not known. While off-site parking combined with a shuttle service may be technically feasible,whether it is a practice � that should be used to allow for a boat club use where parking is inadequate is an item for discussion. Note that it would not be appropriate to accept a plan for off-site marina parking at one of the public landings. For most, if not all, of Orono's marinas,parking availability is already an issue given the number of slips each has historically maintained. Increased parking requirements to allow addition of a boat club use may not be possible at all of them. The feasibility and appropriateness of off-site parking is a factor to consider. Only one of Orono's give marinas currently has a boat club CUP. That is the Sailors World operation at 1955 Shoreline Drive. Staff is aware of one additional boat club operator who plans to open at the Marine Max site in 2011. Under the current code,that operator, in conjunction with the owner of the property, needs to apply for and obta.in a boat club CUP in order to operate this year. The Planning Commission should consider the following issues: L Does the City need to have a minimum numerical parking standard for a boat club use; 2. If so,how should that standard be established and what factors should enter into the standards; 3. What specific conditions should be written into a CUP approval resolution in order that the Approval can be flexible for a boat club operator while providing the City with a means to .. Revisit a CUP if parking becomes an issue; 4. Is the use of off-site parking a practice that should be allowed generally for ancillary marina Uses such as boat clubs,or is it to be a�oided; 5. Are there non-parking factors that would make a boat club CUP inappropriate for a given site? Page 11 ` MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING � Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. a StafFbelieves that the CUP is an appropriate method to regulate boat clubs rather than licensing,but � issuance of the CUP must include provisions/conditions that allow a reaction to changing factors. • . Kang asked how the 25 parking spaces for Sailors World were arrived at. Gaffron indicated he is unsure how that number was determined and that there is nothing in the record that reflects that. Leskinen asked how the existing CUP for Sailor's World would be impacted if any changes are made to the parking requirements. Gaffron stated there is one existing CUP issued to Sailors World and that the City has not received any complaints from the adjoining property owners regarding parking. Gaffron indicated he would need to speak to the City Attorney to determine the impacts the new amendment would have on the existing CUP. . Chair Kang opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. Mike Sayler, Sailors World, stated he would like to give an overview of how their boat club operates. Sailors World has been in existence since the early 1990s. In the 1990s,they had approximately 50 to 55 members and in the mid 1990s their membership grew to around 100 members. They have not experienced any problems with parking over the years. The Crystal Bay Postal Office is also available for parking on the weekends. Sayler indicated they have a power club and a sail club. Sailors World owns three power boats and one pontoon. Seven members are assigned to one boat,which is a 7:1 ratio. Generally a member pays a fee for the summer,which entitles him to 15 boat reservations and he can two reservations on the books at . any one time. On the weekdays,the boats were typically not used,which has led them to create a weekday membership rate. They have had only three members take advantage of that. On the weekends, the members are allowed to use the boats starting at 9 a.m.to 2 p.m. and then from 3 p.m. on. Sailors World has never experienced any problems with parking with the possible exception of the 4�'of July weekend. On"the 4th of July, each slip member and boat member are given a parking permit. If they do not have a parking permit,they are asked to park somewhere else. Sailors World has not found a need to regulate parking at all since they first started the boat club. In the past five years,they have had approximately 29 members. As a result of the lower membership,they do not experience any issues with the parking. Sayler submitted a letter from the adjacent neighbor indicating that he has not had a problem with the parking. Sayler stated he has spoken with the other neighbors and they have indicated they are willing to write a letter if necessary stating they have not experienced any problems with parking. On busy weekends, if e�cf:ra parking is required, a couple of the neighbors allow the employees to park in their driveways. Kang asked how many parking spaces are available at Sailors World. , Sayler indicated they have a total of 43 parking spaces and that typically less than half of their membership uses their boats on a normal weekend. Page 12 MINUTES OF THE Q ' ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING O D Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. � � Thiesse asked how the ordinance would affect Sailors World. Sayler commented in his view it would have a detrimental impact on their business since people do not want to have to park further away and then be shuttled. Thiesse stated the concern of the City is that the use goes with the�property and that the parking has to be fair for everyone. � , Sayler stated in practicality no one would ever fill their marina with boat club boats. Thiesse commented nowadays people do not want the hassle of owning their own boat and that in his view boat clubs is a good idea. Sayler pointed out that there are a limited number of boat slips on Lake Minnetonka and that it would not � be practical to convert all the marinas into boat clubs. Schoenzeit asked whether there is any parking of trucks and trailers. Sayler indicated they typically do not have anyone parking their truck and trailer in their parking lot. Luke Kujawa,Your Boat Club, stated he has had a number of discussions with Mike Gaffron regarding - the ordinance. Currently a CUP is required. Boat clubs are solving a number of issues that are facing marinas and the public by granting public access to the lake. Boat clubs also allow more families to utilize boats periodically without the need to maintain and haul them. Kujawa stated the definition of a boat club is an ambiguous term currently and that insurance companies as well as banks consider it boat rentals. More and more families are sharing ownership of a boat. Kujawa stated he understands the City needs to deal with parking,but that for the average person,boating is getting to be unaffordable and that boat clubs addresses that need. Parking has not been in issue in the past. Kujawa commented it would make sense to include the boat clubs as an accessory use and that the . City could require an annual review of the parking. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to put a numerical number on the parking, it should apply only to the charter boat services since they will have 100 people showing up around the same time and that it makes sense to have a number of parking spaces designated for that. Having the number based on the ma�rrium gross capacity of the boat does not make sense since most boats are not filled to capacity. � Kujawa stated as far as parking itself,the current system works well. Kujawa noted he would never have a 30-foot cruiser in his boat fleet that would accommodate 20 to 30 people and that he cunently has fishing boats,ski boats, and pontoons. They seldom have all their boats out at the same time and that they have an hour and a half turnover time between the morning usage time and the afternoon usage time. Feuss asked whether any of the five boat clubs that he operates are located in Orono. � Kujawa indicated they started one last year at the marina on Shoreline Drive. Page � 13 ' MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING D D Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. � � Gaffron noted they were not allowed to operate a boat club at that location this past year and that they will � be meeting tomorrow to discuss a permit. Schoenzeit asked if they are subletting from a commercial marina. Kujawa indicated they are and that boat clubs help marinas take advantage of their downtime. Leskinen asked whether they have parking restrictions at any of their other facilities. Kujawa indicated they do not. Thiesse asked if they offer shuttle services. Kujawa stated they do not and that people generally are not interested in it and would prefer onsite parking. Schoenzeit noted Mr.Kujawa's boat club only has six slips and asked how the boat club is staffed. Kujawa indicated they are staffed pretty much full time every day. Kujawa staxed the marinas view boat clubs as a positive and.that they sometimes assist the marinas with their boats. Todd Nelson,Wayzata Boat Works, stated most people do not use their boats during the week and that the busiest time is 4`�'of July. They do not have a problem with parking. Boating has become out of reach for a number of families and boat clubs allow those families to have access to the lake. Parking has never been an issue and boat clubs will not make it an issue. People schedule times that they want to use " the boats and there is a limited number of boats. Mike Hilbelith, Sailors World, stated he has a concern with the direction the ordinance could go and how it could negatively impact the overall value of the marinas. Marinas provide a great service and access to the lake. The parking requirements appear to be arbitrary and that he would suggest the City speak with the adjoining property owners to see whether pazking has ever been a problem. The marinas need parking for the people who own boats and that parking is a site speci�c issue for each particular marina. Hilbelith noted the 25 parking spots have not been contracted for by Sailors World for the last 12 years and he would like to see that eliminated from their conditional use permit. It appears the City is attempting to put restrictions on the marinas for what appears to be a possible problem one day of the year,which is 4`�'of July. � Dave Briggs, Wayzata Marina and Maxwell Bay Properties, stated over the last five years ownership of three marinas has changed. Going back 15 to 20 years,there were a number of issues that the City had with marinas,but in the last few years those problems have not surfaced. Technically boat clubs and rentals use parking more than other uses but that certain marinas do have higher usages. Briggs stated in his view there should be some rules regulating parking. They currently have boat sales,marina, and service,but if another boat club moved into Orono,there would be parking issues. Briggs encouraged the Planning Commission to give some thought to the future parking needs. Chair Kang closed the public hearing at 8:37 p.m. Page 14 MINUTES OF THE � � ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING � Tuesday, February 22,2011 � 6:30 o'clock p.m. � � Kang stated determining the parking needs in relation to the number of slips has been difficult and that she would like to avoid a highly regulated situation but that there needs to be some guidelines. Kang stated she personally would like some additional time to consider the ordinance. Feuss commented she does not see any facts to support the need for this code amendment and that there does not appear to be a clearly defined objective that the City is attempting to resolve. Feuss stated she is uncomfortable with creating additional regulation without understanding the facts better and that she would like to make sure that the City defines that goal as clearly as possible. Feuss noted boat clubs are not adequately defined,and if the City is looking at concerns with parking issues,the City should also look at rental boats,multiple owners, definition of a boat club,and other uses that would impact parking besides boat clubs. Feuss stated she is not comfortable making a recommendation at this time. Thiesse indicated he is in agreement with Commissioners Kang and Feuss. Parking is an arbitrary thing and that the City should look at the future parking needs for the marinas. Thiesse pointed out that a conditional use permit goes with the property and that appropriate care needs to be taken prior to the approval of any CUP. � Thiesse commented he was not aware there was downtime between the morning and afternoon usage, which does help alleviate some of the parking issues. Thiesse stated he would prefer Staff put together a conditional use permit that outlines the operation of each individual business and then require an annual review. Schoenzeit stated the ratio for the boat club does not appear excessive. Schoenzeit recommended the City continue to have an annual review process regardless of what route they chooses to take. Schoenzeit commented that they have heard a lot of,it's not broken, don't fix it,but that in his view further discussion of the parking issue is appropriate. Schoenzeit stated he appreciates the input of the boat club owners. Leskinen commented the input of the boat club owners has been valuable and that she is in agreement with the other commissioners that there does not seem to be a clearly defined problem that needs to be fixed. Kang commented it appears that the Planning Commission and Staff needs to think about future parking issues that could arise and to clearly define those. Kang moved,Feuss seconded,to table Application#11-3500,City of,Orono,Amend City Code Section 78-666,Boat Club Conditional use Permit. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. Gaffron asked whether the Planning Commission would like any specific additional information provided. Feuss stated she would like to see a clearly defined goal that the City would like to achieve and have Staff outline the options the City could take to achieve that goal. Page 15 � MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING � Tuesday, February 22,2011 � � 6:30 o'clock p.m. /U/ �.Z� � Kang indicated she would like to have the definition of boat clubs better defined and the pros and cons of accessory uses outlined. Schoenzeit noted the City already has some control over the parking with the annual review and that they could require the marinas and/or boat clubs at that time to take some steps to resolve a parking problem if one occurs. Kang stated perhaps one solution would be to have the marinas provide a parking plan for the entire year or for the 4`h of July. Feuss stated she would like to see the problem that they are attempting to fix be more clearly defined. � Gaffron noted the City does have an annual licensing process,which has not been followed thoroughly in the past but could be reviewed by Staff to see whether that would be a viable option. Leskinen asked whether there is a way to deal with this within the conditional use permit process if the permit process is not a good option. Gaffron noted the City currently licenses garbage haulers and a few other businesses,but does not utilize that process very often. Gaffron stated approximately 30 years ago there were a number of issues with the marinas,but that over the past 10 years or so they have not encountered many problems. Gaffron indicated Staff is attempting to look at issues that may arise in the future and how to deal with those. Gaffron noted there will be an application coming before the Planning Commission in the near future for the Brown's Bay site. At this point it will be processed as a conditional use permit route and the Planning Commission has the option of placing different conditions on the use. PLANNING CONIlViMISSION COMMENTS 4. REPORT OF PLANNING COMNIISSION REPRESENTATIVES ATTENDING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS ON JANUARY 24,2011,AND FEBRUARY 14,2011 Thiesse reported on the January 24th meeting. The City Council dealt mainly with issues relating to the Crystal Bay Road project,particularly as it relates to the median and the landscaping. The Council decided that the landscaping isn't for aesthetic purposes and that it is designed to deter pedestrian traffic. The School District will perform maintenance on the landscaping. Schoenzeit asked if the roundabouts are good for cuing. Thiesse noted there will not be left turns allowed. Gaffron stated the engineers have done a number of different modeling scenarios and that they will also do some side cuing scenarios as part of their studies. The city engineers are working closely with the school on the road design and the school has been very supportive of the proposed design.

WHEREAS, because of the geographical location of the marinas and their proximity to heavy population, and the access to marinas by county and city roads, and the general use of the bays of Lake Minnetonka for recreation by way of swimming, boating, fishing and water sports. by the citizens of Orono, the City regu`lates both the on- Iand activites of marinas and the extensions of docks and mooring areas into Lake Minnetonka in the interest of public order and to , protect the life, safety and welfare of the community. The City through its regulations is not licensing boats but is only licensing the marinas to the extent the marina operations affect the general " public and the adjacent properties within the City of Orono; and WHEREAS, the City shares concurrent jurisdiction over the primary harbor Iimit of the City of Orono with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and the Department of Natural Resources of the State of Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the regul.ation of the navigable waters involves an exercise of police power of the State, LMCD, and the City of Orono, aIl of which have adopted rules to ensure to alI equal enjoyment of the public rights and to suppress the clashing of public and private intere�sts and resulting public disorder; and WHEREAS, the regulations of the DNR, LMCD, and the City of Orono regulate the property rights of the riparian owners both as to single family residential. owners and the commercial marina owners, to the extent prohibiting any interference with the public waters ad- joining that property. The LMCD, DNR and City of Orono must fulfill their trusteeship over the public waters by protecting against inter- ference by anyone, including those who assert the commonlaw rights of riparian owners, whether or not they be commercial marinas or single family residential owners; and WHEREAS, as to Lake Minnetonka, a mutual right of enjoyment exists between and is shared by riparian owners and the public generally. The marinas have no exclusive privileges over Lake Minnetonka. The only additional private right that the marina or any riparian owner may have over the pub].ic generally is to construct one dock to the navigable depth of the public waters. There can be no dispute but that the publ.ic generally and each riparian owner to Lake Minnetonka has the right to use the entire surface area of Lake � Minnetonka for aIl suitable purposes in common with all other riparian owners. This right is a right not only to members of the public but the right to each riparian owner. This mutual right of enjoyment which is shared by riparian owners and the public generally includes the recreational benefits of the Lake such as boating and fishing therein; the riparian marina has no exclusive privileges to these rights; and Page 2 of 4 . , , . , . . �. • � - ,,, C�t o� OR4N0 � RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUIVCIL � NO. 1866 � � � � WHEREAS, as the popul.ation has increased around Lake Minnetonka, and in the Twin City Area generally, it is clear that more � and more people have used the Iake for sailing, rowing, fishing, boating, bathing, skating, and other public purposes which cannot be now full.y enumerated or even anticipated; and WHEREAS , Lake Minnetonka is capable of substantial � beneficial public use only as Iong as all� riparian users of the Lake are _regulated in such a way as to ensure there is no abuse of the limited riparian rights; and - - WHEREAS, the marina as a commercial riparian owner only has limited riparian rights incident to the ownership of real estate � bordering upon Lake Minnetonka. The marina operator has a Iimited rigY}t to build and maintain one suitable landing or dock, on and in front of his land, and to extend the same therefrom into Lake . Minnetonka to a point of navigability; but, under no circumstances may he encroach into Lake Minnetonka to a point where he impairs the water' s navigability for other public purposes or where he unreasonably interferes with the surface water rights of all riparians and members of the public generaZly; and WHEREAS, it is fundamental � that a rip�arian owner's rights are measured by the necessities and character of his use. The marinas, for private commercial. gain wish to temporaril.y and, in fact, permanently alter the use of the surface water in Lake Minnetonka. Certain sections of the lake, once a source of excellent fishing, have been converted and, in fact, in the future will continue to be converted, into a commercial enterprise al 1 to the detriment of other riparian owners and the public. The marinas present operations and contemplated operations far exceed a reasonable use of their Iimited riparian rights; and WHEREAS, the most general publ.ic use of the water is paramount and should take priority over excessive riparian use for commercial purposes of the lake by the marinas; and WHEREAS, the marinas have separated and disassociated from the normal riparian rights in many sections of the public waters on Lake Minnetonka . by having extended their docks out into Lake Minnetonka beyond the point of navigability and have transferred those rights to others who do not have riparian rights and who are not members of the general public who obtain access and use of Lake Minnetonka by use of the public access points along Lake Minnetonka. Such commercial transfers of the riparian rights of Lake Minnetonka have resulted in an abuse of reasonable riparian access to Lake Minnetonka.

City Administrator-Long Term Strategy�%�'`-' Date: February 14, 2011 Subject: #11- 3500 City of Orono -Zoning Code Amendment: Regulation of Boat Clubs Zoning District: B-2 Lakeshore Business District Summary: "Boat clubs" are a conditional use in the B-2 District. The issue presented for discussion and recommendation is establishment of a parking requirement for the boat club use- how much pazking is needed, and how parking for the boat club operation relates to the marina business to which it is typically ancillary. The B-2 standards do not specify a numerical parking requirement for boat clubs. Staff is proposing to add a numerical parking requirement to the standards. Staff Recommendation: Consider the information provided, take input from stakeholders, and make a recommendation on the proposed amendment to establish a numerical parking standard for boat clubs.

All are zoned B-2 Lakeshore Business District. They comprise approximately 0.7 mile or 2% of Orono's 40.4 miles of Lake Minnetonlca shoreline (the remainder being 13%in public parks and right-of-ways, and 85%in private residences). The marinas share a number of characteristics that make them unique as compared to most other lakeshore uses: - They provide a service to residents and non-residents of Orono by providing Lake Minnetonka access for people who don't own lakeshore,via a number of inethods including slip rental,boat rental, on-demand storage/launching(dry-stack), and boat clubs. - They provide ancillary services locally for lakeshore and non-lakeshore owners such as boat repair, seasonal in-out services and winter storage, and boat&marine merchandise sales. - They have historically been granted development rights fax surpassing those normally granted by Orono to residential owners, because they are an integral element of the provision of public accessibility to Lake Minnetonka. This is manifested most visibly in past vaxiances for hardcover and lake setbacks for structures. -- - Each marina has a set number of boat slips that has been established for many years through City actions and LMCD regulations. Orono's minimum parking requirements for marinas are in part related to the number of boat slips. #11-3500 Boat Clubs February 14,20ll Page 2 Boat Clubs Boat Clubs are poised to potentially become a more common use on Lake Minnetonka. In addition to the advantages to the boating consumer by having access to one or more boats without owning one,boat club boats do not txavel to and from other lakes, reducing the chances of spreading aquatic invasive species (AIS). � • Orono's B-2 District has allowed Boat Clubs as a Conditional Use since 1995. Although not strictly defined in the Code, our working definition of a boat club goes back to the discussions that resulted in the 1995 revisions of the B-2 District ordinances (see Exhibit A). At its simplest, a boat club is a time-share situation in which multiple persons have the right to share in the use of a single boat. This may have a number of permutations, such as having the right to sliare in the use of a variety of different boats. The critical factor is the potential for a given boat to be used on many more occasions in a given time period, as compared to a boat used only by its owner. Because of the potential for boat clubs to create more intensive use of a marina site, boat clubs are a conditional use within the B-2 District(but not allowed in other Districts) and cannot be � operated unless a conditional use pernut(CUP) is obtained. The existirig code reads as follows: Section 78-666. 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 division. All conditional use permit ' applications shall be reviewed in accordance with the provisions of article V of this chapter. YVithin any B-2 lakeshore business district, no structure or land shall be used for the following uses without a conditional use permit.• (I) Boat clubs (time share). The applicant shall demonstrate that adequate parking is available on the site. (2) Public boat launching, on-demand(on-demand launching of customer-owned boats stored on the business site). The applicant shall demonstrate that adequate parking is available on the site. Approval shall be subject to Lake Minnetonka Conservation District(LMCD)permit for such use, but the city shall not be obligated to approve such use if approved by the LMCD when parking is inadequate. (3) Public boat launching, transient. (Launching of boats via a ramp or other means for or by customers when such boats are not stored on the site). The applicant shall demonstrate that adequate car-trailer parking is available on the site. Hours of operation shall be at council discretion. ' (4) Charter boat port of call. A charter boat port of call shall be defined as a location where a charter boat may pick up passengers other than the owner or operator or employees of the charter boat, whether or not the charter boat is normally berthed on the property. The city may place appropriate conditions on a charter boat port of call regarding minimum parking requirements, hours of operation, etc., as may be #11-3500 Boat Clubs February14,2011 Page 3 appropriate to protect public interest. The applicant shall demonstrate to the council that all such conditions are met. (5) One caretaker dwelling unit, subject to conditions and limitations for such use that may . be imposed by the city council. CUP Becomes a Propert�Ri�ht. CUPs are issued to the owner of the property, not to a lessee or tenant,because the CUP becomes a property right. Application for a boat club CUP must be made by the property owner,not merely by the tenant. Any CUP approved will be granted to the owner and tied to the properly, with conditions that would apply to any boat club operator at the site. The B-2 District Standards of the zoning code (Sec. 78-661 thru 78-678) do not distinguish between the property owner and lessees in terms of operation requirements. The property owner is responsible for the property remaining in compliance with the code regardless of the leases it may choose to enter into with tenants. As a separate but related matter, Orono has been licensing marinas since the 1960's. The marina licensing code (Sec. 94-71 thru 94-101) establishes in Section 94-73 that the primary business operator on the property shall be the licenseholder, and any businesses subleased on the premises shall be identified by the licenseholder,but will not be separately licensed. A boat club as a tenant of a marina property does not need a separate business license. As a conditional use, under current code the boat club use will only be allowed if it can be shown by the property owner that adequate parking is ava.ilable on the site to accommodate that business operation in addition to all other approved operations on the site. The premise behind this ordinance requirement is that a time-share boat club operation has the potential to create a higher level of use than a standard single-user/single-owner situation; for instance,because of the potential for overlapping parking needs of back-to-back users. Why is Parking a Factor? Parking is largely a site-specific operations management issue. The Code does establish mini.mum parking requirements for basic marina operation and for certain ancillary uses. However,the code currently contains no specific numerical parking standards for boat clubs. Orono's marina parking requirements are listed in 78-668 and read as follows: Section 78-668. Parking Requirements. Within the B-2 lakeshore business disti^ict, the off-street parking facilities shall be sufficient to eliminate any tra�c or parking congestion likely to be caused by the business conducted. The parking areas need not be paved but shall be provided with appropriate stormwater runoff quality/quantity controls as may be required in this division. The minimum pa�king requirements shall be as follows: #11-3500 Boat Clubs February 14,2011 Page 4 (1) Six parking spaces shall be provided for each ten boat slips on water or on land. (2) At least eight off-street parking spaces,plus one additional space for each 800 square feet offloor area over 1,000 feet, including warehousing, and all outside sales and storage areas related to the sales and service functions. (3) If the proposed use is�to include the launching of boats owned by the public for the day fi•om trailers (i.e.,public boat launching, transient), ten additional auto-trailer parking spaces shall be provided for each Yamp. (4) If the proposed use is to include a charter boat port of call, one additional parking space for each three seats of gross charter capacity shall be provided, or a plan for off- site parking and shuttle service shall be provided to the ciry subject to council approval. (S) The required parking spaces may not be separated by a public roadway ff-om the dock, a storage space, mooring space,floor space or ramp they are designed to serve. (6) Required off-street parking space may not be utilized for open storage of goods or for the storage of boats; except that during the winter storage season each year, the required off-street parking may be used for winter storage of boats,provided that 20 percent of the required parking spaces remain as a functional parking area. During the transition seasons (April 1 S to May 31 and September 16 to November 1 S), adequate parking shall be maintained on the site, su�cient to eliminate tra�c or parking congestion; but in no case shall parking be reduced to less than 20 percent of the required spaces. (7) Parking may not be allowed in any required yard or landscaping area. (8) Employee parking spaces shall be in addition to the parking spaces required in subsections (1)—(7) of this section. The number of employee parking spaces shall be � designated on an official parking plan to be kept on file with the city. (9) Where these minimum parking requirements prove to be inadequate for a given use, additional parking may be required in order to continue that use. The basic paxking requirement of six stalls for each 10 slips assumes no more than 60% of boats being used at a given time, one car per boat. This standard has been in effect since creation of the B-2 District(January 1, 1968) when the average pleasure boat stored at Orono's marinas was significantly smaller than today. With today's variety of large boats holding many passengers, there is a potential for inadequate parking at busy times, if passengers for a single boat arrive in separate vehicles. This may be exacerbated by a boat club if back-to-back uses result in the need for parking overlap, or if boat club members and their guests arrive in multiple vehicles. Because our marinas are all on busy County roads, nearby street parking is extremely limited and is to be avoided. Demonstration of parking adequacy for a boat club on the property should include a detailed written description of how the overall site is used, how the boat club operates,hours of #11-3500 Boat Clubs February 14,2011 Page 5 operation,what space on the site is used for offices or other purposes,whether it is staffed full- time,how many employees at any given time, etc. Other factors that come into play include the passenger capacity of club boats, what percentage of the marina slips are devoted to club boats, how many members per boat, and how much of a time interval is there between uses of a given boat. Many of these are all operational factors that can make a parking situation succeed or fail. CUP Conditions Section 78-916 (Exhibit D)provides the findings that must be met by any Conditional Use in order to gain approval. Some of these findings will have a direct impact on whether a boat club is appropriate for a given marina. Perhaps the most pertinent is finding#12 -the conditional use must"Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties,traffic congestion, or unsafe access." For the Sailors World boat club CUP, approval was granted for a 100-member maximum boat club use subject to maintaining the exclusive availability of 25 off-site parking stalls during May - through September(subject to annual confirmation) with the City reserving the right to reconsider if parking issues or inadequacies arise at the marina or at the off-site parking location. None of the 5 Orono marinas are adjacent to private off-site parking facilities. Sailors World for a number of years had an agreement with the Minnetonka Art Center for parking,which is approximately 2000' (3/8 mile) walking distance from the marina-the current status of that arrangement is not known. While off-site parking combined with a shuttle service may be technically feasible, whether it is a practice that should be used to allow for a boat club use where parking is inadequate is an item for discussion.Note that it would not be appropriate to accept a plan for off-site marina parking at one of the public landings. For most if not all of Orono's marinas,parking availability is already an issue given the number of slips each has historically maintained. Increased parking requirements to allow addition of a boat club use may not be possible at all of them. The feasibility and appropriateness of off-site parking is a factor to consider. Issues for Discussion Only one of Orono's five marinas currently has a boat club CUP. That is the Sailors World operation at 1955 Shoreline Drive. A copy of the CUP issued in 1995 is attached. Staff is aware of one additional boat club operator who plans to open at the Marine Ma.x site(1444 Shoreline Drive) in 2011. Under the current code,that operator in conjunction with the owner of the property needs to apply for and obtain a boat club CUP in order to operate this yeax. Staff believes that the CUP is an appropriate method to regulate boat clubs, rather than licensing, but issuance of the CUP must include provisions/conditions that allow a reaction to changing factors. Issues for consideration include: 1) Do we need to have a minimum numerical parking standard for a boat club use; > • #11-3500 Boat Clubs February 14,2011 Page 6 2) If so,how should that standard be established-what factors enter into the standazd; 3) What specific conditions should be written into a CUP approval resolution in order that the approval can be flexible for a boat club operator while providing the City with a means to re-visit a CUP if parking becomes an issue; � 4) Is the use of off-site parking a practice that should be allowed generally for ancillary marina uses such as boat clubs, or is it to be avoided; and 5) Are there non-parking factors that would make a boat club CUP inappropriate for a given site? • Draft Ordinance for Consideration Exhibit E is a proposed draft amendment to the B-2 District standards to establish a numerical parking requirement for boat clubs. It requires that for each 5 persons capacity in boats stored in water or on land for boat club use, one complete parking stall shall be provided. The number 5 is proposed because that is the number of persons a typical passenger vehicle can hold. (Compare this with the requirement for 1 sta11 per 3 persons capacity for a charter boat operation - see discussion below) An example of how required paxking would be calculated is as follows: Bxample Marina Parameters: - Office less than 1000 s.f. in floor area(requires 8 stalls per 78-668) - 50 on-water boat slips, of which: 40 are devoted to customer-owned boats (requires 0.6 stalls per boat) 40x0.6=24 stalls 10 are devoted to boat club use and each club boat has a capacity of 8 persons (10 boats x 8 persons per boat= 80 persons/5 persons/stall= 16 stalls) . Total stalls required=8+24+ 16=48 stalls In this example,using 8-passenger boats as the standard, if all 10 boats are out at once and filled to capacity it is likely that 2 vehicles per boat will have delivered passengers, so 16 stalls won't be enough. The likelihood of such an occurrence is subject to discussion. Should we be requiring parking for the worst-case scenario? We would not do so for a retail store that needs overflow parking just before Christmas; and retailers presumably have less control over their parking than a marina owner/operator. It would seem reasonable that the marina would be able to properly manage their parking situation, by establishing parking rules for their customers and members. Boat club managers axe more likely to have control over their members than charter boat operations in terms of how people arrive at the marina- so using 5 persons per vehicle rather than 3, seems reasonable. Staff Recommendation Orono's marina owners have been notified of this proposed amendment and this public hearing, as have operators of existing or potential known boat club operators. Planning Commission should discuss the issues, and make a recommendation to�City Council. :��_ . � -�4;:. . o A—► s�:�� � y���'` ORONO PLA.NYI�vG C0�1�i'Y1i ISSION SESSION .��;;:` y�TES �F ���EDi�IESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1993 ° ,;., , ��, s ���� ae capabiliry.

After brief discussion, Planning Commission agreed that transient boat launching �' was a reasonable conditional use as along as parking is addressed, and ultimately might reduce � car-trailer parkin� on the street. � Regarding boat clubs, Schroeder defined them as "multiple persons shari.ng in the use of a single boat", resulting in more hours of usage for a single boat as compared to the normal sin;le owner situation. Rowlette indicated her family doesn't boat on weekends due to overcrowding of the � lake. Richie Anderson suggested that 6-8 individual members was typical per boat in a boat club and that the boat club concept would not inc�ease boat density on the lake given that the 8 users have only a single boat, whereas 8 individual boats being used by 8 owners would certainly � . increase density. Mabusth questioned the parking needs for boat clubs. Rowlette indicated the concept would be a problem if for instance, every single slip at a marina was devoted to boat club use, which would potentially yield every one of the slipped boats being used all the ti.me. � Hilbelink suggested that a boat club is no difFerent than a rental boat situatioa in terms of amount of usage per boat. Schroeder made the point that under the normal structure, 100 boats could be used individually by 100 families, but under a boat club structure, those 100 boats � could be used by 600 families, and the relative amount of usage of those 100 boats would increase substantially. Parking would not necessarily be an issue, because not all 600 fam�lies � would be there at once. Regarding on-demand launch of customer's boat stored on site, Gaffron noted that this could be � accomplished by dry stack, or by boats sitti.ng on trailers outside. The theory is that the customer would call ahead, telli.ng the mari.na to have their boat in the water and ready to go i.n an hour. Rowlette noted this was quite prevalent in Florida and other areas, but not as common � yet in Orono. She also suggested she would rather see such storage inside buildings raiher than outside. Gaffron noted that while Orono has historically only allowed North Shore Drive Marina the use of 20 of its 72 dry stack spaces for boats for Iake use, the LMCD licenses all � 72 as lake use slips. The fallacy is that LMCD doesn't count boats stored on trailers for lake use in their licensing count. � Schroeder suggested that the Planning Commission may at some point address the boat density -- issue, and needs to be ttvnki.ng about standards and regulations for pazking at mari.nas. � 7 � � � � - . . . �- - � �� � _� 1��IUTES OF THE ORONO PL� 1 � G' ��3sizO� ���� SESSION � VYEDNESDAY, F'EBRU issue of storage should be acldressed.

PC Exhibit D-f� ��� . February 22, 2011 F� �/��� �a 2 Honorable Lilly McMillan. cj �20,� Mayor ��F�R City of Orono, MN . �Np Dear Ms. McMillan and Council Members: I am writing with regazd to the Boat Club Parking Use Draft Amendment to be discussed on February 22, 2011. The attached Draft Amendment, Subparagraph 5 is the pazagraph at issue. As you know, I have lived across the street from Sailor's World Marina for the past 261/z years.� I check my dock lines almost every night of the summer. I have witaessed the marina go from a complete eye-sore, unkept and littered with trash and.potential pollution to the modern well-kept and extremely well run marina that it is today. The "secret" of � � that transformation was the combination of good public policy and extremely hard work and stewardship of the Disantis/Seylor family. For its part, the City has been insightful in allowing the mari.na to configure its dock � together with the neighbors providi.ng some setback and other waivers. This in turn . allowed the marina the cash flow to invest in improvements which enhanced the mari.na � to go from a blighted property to an attractive one. Throughout the many yeazs since . then, the Disantis and now Seylor families have mai.ntained the property and done a good job at controlling parking. � Being directly across the street from the Wayzata. side of the marina, I see the south side of the buildi.ng and the north side of the lot every single day. Only occasionally, usually on either the 4�' of July or a da.y or two in Spring when people are preparing their boats for launching have there ever been any problem with pazking in that area. In each and every case, when requested, the people who pull their cars in on my land were asked to remove them by the Sailor's World crew and they did so promptly. In my mind, there is no parking problem real or potential that demands the City of Orono's changing the parking requirements in turn lessening the ability of the business to mai.ntain its good appearance and staffing. To the contrary, I believe there are fundamental flaws with the proposed change represented by Subpazagraph 5 of the Draft Amendment. I think it is well-recognized that on even the most beautiful day of the summer—with the possible exception of the 4�' of Ju1y — only about 30%-35% of boat owners actually go out on their boats. � Furthermore, the boat club is to my knowledge usually people with families that come in one car and leave in one car. Not to say that�ere are not people who bring their friends, but typically that only involved one other car. By contrast, if you apply the draft amendment to a Sunesta. or a sundeck boat, there may be room for 8 to 10 people, but the reality is there are usually only 2 to 4 people actually using the boat. In short, the draft amendment would require more parki.ng space than reality has dictated over the many years that tlus boat club has been in existence. Furthermore, when the time-share boat club members leave to make way for the next boat club members — i.e. the car that the prior shift came in leaves. Furthermore, peak use of the boat club on weekends, would have almost no application to the 5/7ths of the week when people are at work and only come out late in the afternoon That pattern allows for only one use per boat in the evening hours. Agai.n to require further pazking place allotment for a problem that does not exist seems to me to be unrelated to any legitimate legislative purpose that actually exists. It is also true that if more parking spaces are required, the landscaping that has been done will be further undone to turn the bufferi.ng areas, which the city initially required at the time the mari.na building was built, to be terminated in favor of parking. I think that is not a friendly change to the neighborhood. The real change in parking in and around the area that surrounds Sailor's World(i.e. Hwy 51 to the south end of my property and west northwest to Brown Road going up to Spates Ave) has nothing to do with the mari.na. The great influx of parking over the last two years has been the result of the high use of the converted Dakota. Rail Trail as a bicycle/walking/rollerskiing/rollerblading/rnnn;ng trail. It is not uncommon by late Saturday or Sunda.y morni.ng in the summer to the mid fall to have cars lined up all along Brown Road and sometimes on Spates or the old railroad frontage road. That is the real source of potential tra�ffic or parking congestion as it has the effect of obstructing vision at the corners of Spates and Brown and narrowing the lanes of Brown Road where both ' adults and children are riding bikes. There are two bicycle and 30 mph car interchanges in that area. The municipalities/county have seen fit to make bicycles yield to car traff"ic at those interchanges even though that is not the way the traffic on the Dakota Rail Trail actually rides it. Neither is it in keeping with the modern trend of havi.ng automobiles yield to bike or pedestrian traffic. In my opi.nion, that creates a real danger that should be addressed and the council could better spend its time resolvi.ng that than addressing a non-existent issue of marina parl�ng. Respec y ubmitted, � Ai ettles � 26- ear Resident and Former Council Member 1940 Shoreline Drive °` +� ` PC Exhibit D-� R���e��� - � ��a 2220�� 2/20/2001 C��VOF�RoNO To whom it may concern, - We have been asked by Sailors World to comment on parking in and around the rraarina located on Smith's Bay in Orono. , � My wife Mary and I, and our family, have been residents at 1980 Spates Ave., Wayzata, Mn 55391 for 31+ years. This is one of two properties located directly aeross Shoreline Drive from the marina, 1980 Spates Ave., and 1960 Shoreline Dr. We own both propert'ies. There have been No Parking signs on Spates Ave. since the day I moved into the house many years ago. I have always suspected that this is I'eftover from �he Paul's Landing days when they had fishing contests and small boat rentals. My family and I have been the only violators of these no parking signs, when I have a party and run out of room in my driveway. This is a rare event. I have never experienced any problems with marina people violating these no parking signs on Spates Ave. In all the years that we have lived here, we have never experienced any problems with overflow parking from the marina. I spend a lot of time in and around the marina as I keep my boat in a marina slip, I love the lake in the summer, and have known the owners since we were young kids. I have rarely seen the parking lot even close to full, and that is on a rare holiday that also has delightful weather. When the forecast is predicting high use at the marina, the parking lot has always been managed by the Sailor's World employees to gain maximum use of space. Again this is a rare occasion when the lot is close to full. I have known the owners of this marina since the day it was purchased, as we worked there as kids when it was Paul's Landing many years ago. I have never at any time had any problem with how this marina has been run, related to parking and cars. I have even volunteered my driveway to the employees, when necessary, to free up any additional spaces that might be needed. I don't remember this o�er being used on more than one or two occasions in the years I have lived here. � U �q � their best to run a good solid business. As a business property owner in the community of Orono myself, I understand some of the challenges in recent times to make ends meet and pay the bills. I would hope that the City of Orono does not put any undue stress on this operation and cause it to lose opportunity to grow their business and operate the marina in a profitable and reasonable manner. We are available for discussion on this item. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the meeting as I have business out of town, and my wife has another - commitment on 2/22/2011.

City Administrator- Long Term Strategy Date: March 17, 2011 Subject: #11- 3501 Your Boat Club LLC/Brown's Bay LLC, 1444 Shoreline Drive - Conditional Use Permit for Boat Club Use Zoning District: B-2 Lakeshore Business District Summary: "Boat clubs" are a conditional use in the B-2 District. Applicant Luke Kujawa, owner of Your Boat Club LLC on behalf of himself and the property owner Brown's Bay LLC requests a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a boat club from the marina property located at 1444 Shoreline Drive. Brown's Bay LLC currently operates a slip rental operation at the site; Marine Max as a tenant of Brown's Bay LLC has operated a boat sales business at tlie site within the past two years, although the future of that operation is unknown. Your Boat Club has indicated it does not require retail space for its operation, but may lease space in the adjacent residentially- zoned building at 1440 Shoreline Drive for residential purposes. . � The current marina operation without the boat club use is slightly short on required parking as calculated by staff(based on an estimate of 4 employees parked on site). A portion of the parking is on properiy not owned in common with the marina. These are issues that need to be addressed as part of this review process. Staff Recommendation: 1) The CUP should only be approved if it contains some numerical standaxds by which compliance with the requirement for `adequate parking' can be measured, and if the proposed use can be shown to meet those standards. 2) The CUP should be approved only upon resolution of the separate ownership issue via legal combination, rezoning, parking easement, or some other means accepta.ble to the City Attorney.

This review by staff is based on the current B-2 codes, not on potential future changes to the code. Please carefully review the applicant's letter of request and narrative. Parkin�. The only standard for boat club CUPs within the zoning code is `demonstration that adequate parking is available on the property'. The pertinent B-2 parking standards (Section 78- 668) require that off-street parking facilities for a marina operation be sufficient to eliminate any tr�c or parking congestion likely to be caused by the business conducted. The parking areas do not need to be paved but must be provided with appropriate stormwater runoff quality/quantity controls. When it was completely renovated in 1990, this marina had 118 slips on the water. The prior owner has since reduced the number of slips to 98. In terms of numerical parking requirements, existing code standards in Section 78-668 pertinent to this marina site include: (1) Six parking spaces shall be p�ovided for each ten boat slips on water or on land. -provision of 6 parking stalls per each 10 slips: 98 slips x 0.6 =58.8 stalls (2) At least eight off-street parking spaces,plus one additional space for each 800 square feet of floor area*over 1,000 feet, including warehousing, and all outside sales and storage areas related to the sales and service functions. - 8 stalls for the sales and service operation: =8 stalls -plus 1 added stall per 800 s.f. over 1,000 s.f. of sales and service axea: 3850 s.f. bldg; 3850-1000=2850; 2850x0.85/800=3.0 stalls * "Floor area"is not defined in the zoning code;Orono typically uses 85%of gross floor area of a building in defining commercial floor area for calculation purposes . i #11-3501 1444 Shoreline Drive March 17,2011 Page 3 (8) Employee parking spaces shall be in addition to the parking spaces required in subsections (1)—(7) of this section. The number of employee parking spaces shall be designated on an off cial parking plan to be kept on file with the city. - employee parking: (Estimate only)=4 stalls (9) Where these minimum parking requirements prove to be inadequate for a given use, � additional parking may be required in order to continue that use. Total stalls required per current code=58.8+8+3.0+4=73.8 = 74.4 stalls required Parking stalls provided on site (per past approvals): Tanager Lake side of CR15 =47 stalls (21 at 1444 Shoreline+26 at 1440-42 Shoreline) Browns Bay side of CR 15 =26 stalls in pazking lot 47+26=73 stalls available Applicant has indicated that an additional 8 stalls are available in the triangular area on the Browns Bay side of CR15 just north of the gazebo. The City has never recognized this area as usable parking; it was previously allowed only for temporary boat storage and was required to be separated from CR15 by wood posts with rope barrier. The issue is the proximity to the traveled roadway and the ability of vehicles to enter/exit the small area safely. It likely does not meet any Hennepin County standard for parking access. Staff recommends that this area not be counted toward required parking. Absent a numerical incremental code standard for required parking for boat clubs, the current parking is short by 1-2 stalls for just the marina use as it stands today. Planning Commission should determine whether the applicant's boat club operation as proposed has "demonstrated that � adequate parking is available on the site". It is staff s position on the advice of the City Attorney that a mere determination of parking adequacy without applying some numerical conditions will not be legally defensible Iater on if parking becomes an issue. Numerical conditions must include the number of boat club boats allowed, and the number of stalls required per boat or based on boat capacity. Without such conditions attached to the CUP, if the boat club operation expands or changes in the future and parking becomes an issue, the applicants or their successors might argue that "you found it adequate before without any limits, and my CUP has no limitations, so you can't stop me". At that point the City would likely have to rely on its marina licensing program for relief. In the February memo regarding the boat club CUP code provisions, staff recommended one complete parking stall should be provided for each 5 persons capacity in boats stored in water or on land for boat club use. The number 5 was proposed because that is the number of persons a typical passenger vehicle can hold. The applicant indicates that in his experience club boats are rarely filled to capacity, and that his proposed club boats will be smaller craft with a family orientation. Will this always hold true in the future? We would argue that while the standard 0.6 stalls per boat for a general marina use has not resulted in parking problems to date, it is likely that on a busy holiday weekend more � #11-3501 1444 Shoreline Drive March 17,2011 Page 4 than 60% of the club boats will be in use; that not all club customers can be expected to arrive in just one vehicle per boat; and that not all club boat users will navigate their outing on the water in a manner that brings them back to the dock by the appointed hour, resulting in potential parking overlap. Staff is not convinced that the standard of 0.6 stalls per boat slip will be adequate for a boat club operation. While staff agrees with applicant that proper management of the club operation may be sufficient to keep parking from becoming an issue,the City should not be granting a permanent use right to a property based merely on the good intentions of a current property owner or potential tenant. Propert,y Ownership Issue. Ownership of the property at 1440-42 Shoreline is an issue that needs to be addressed and resolved. The issue is as follows: 1) The portions of the properties at 1440 and 1442 west of CR15 are zoned LR-lA Single Family Residential, and each contains a residence structure. The portions of those parcels east of CR15 are zoned B-2lakeshore Business District. 2) Historically these iwo properties have remained in common ownership with the marina, which made the past shared parking arrangement a non-issue. 3) Historically the City has allowed the use of the gravel area in front of these two residences as overflow parking for the marina (see Resolution No. 2674 and attached site plan). 4) Recently the two residential tax parcels were purchased and are currently owned by a different legal entity than the marina (marina is Browns Bay LLC; 1440-42 are Tanager Bay LLC). The common ownership relationship no longer exists, even though we understand that the same individual is the principal of both LLCs. There is no guarantee that the residential parcels will continue to be available for marina parking. There is no "special lot combination agreement", "parking easement" or other mechanism of record known to staff that prohibits a new owner of the residential parcels from removing the parking. There is no covenant of record we are aware of that prohibits these two parcels from being sold to a party or parties who have no relationship to the marina. This separation of ownership has potentially significant consequences for the marina in two respects: a. The number of slips for which this marina is annually licensed by LMCD is based on shoreline footage that includes the east and west shorelines of the parcels at 1440-42. Severing the association of these parcels from the marina use could potentially result in action by LMCD to reduce the number and location of allowed slips. b. Reduction of parking by the 26 stalls at 1440-42 would make the marina severely short on required parking, even without a boat club use. There may be a number of potential methods for resolving this issue, each of which may have its ramifications from the City's perspective and/or from the property owner's perspective. For instance: . � . � #11-3501 1444 Shoreline Drive March 17,2011 Page 5 - Combination of the two residential properties with the marina properties will result in a combination of residential and commercial buildings on one parcel (not allowed by code) and will result in a single property being within two different zoning districts (a condition that already exists between the west and east sides of the residence parcels). - A "special lot combination" is normally only used where both parcels involved are under the same ownership, so that may not be a solution. , - Creation of a permanent easement for commercial parking on a residential parcel would require Council approval and while it fits the existing situation, commercial parking is not allowed in the LR-1 A district. - Because the two residential properties each are partially zoned commercial (on the east side of CR15), sale of the parcels to a non-marina entity would likely require a subdivision to continue the marina use on their easterly portions. - Perhaps a rezoning of the two residential parcels to B-2 should be part of the mix, but the City has in the past not wanted to allow for commercial expansion of the marina use into the residential sites except for parking purposes. � Staff cannot recommend approval of a CUP for boat club use for this marina unless/until � this issue is resolved. Issues for Discussion 1) Should a boat club CUP be issued when the number of available stalls is already slightly below the number required by code for just the marina use? 2) Is there any justification to allow parking in the 8 additional sta.11s in the triangle area east of CR15? 3) What numerical parking standards are appropriate for the boat club use? Should it be based on total boat capacity? Or simply on the number of club boats? Should there be a limit on the number of club boats? Can the proposed club use meet whatever standard Planning Commission determines is appropriate? 4) Should the CUP be issued without a resolution to the noted ownership issue? Staff Recommendation ` The CUP should only be approved if in the `conditions of approval', specified numerical standards are established by which compliance with the requirement for `adequate parking' can be measured. The numerical standards should include the number of boat club boats allowed, and the number of stalls required per boat club boat or based on overall boat club boat capacity. The CUP should only be approved if it is determined that the marina site can accommodate the proposed level of boat club use by meeting those numerical standards. The CUP should be approved only upon resolution of the separate ownership issue via legal combination,rezoning,parking easement, or some other means acceptable to the City Attorney. � . , PC Exhibit A ; I Application# �� � �5 O' ' Date Received a 5 i Amount Pai � CITY OF ORONO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT and OTHER LAND USE APPLICATION PROPERTY LOCATION SiteAddress / � s�ar2. �n-L �i�iu�,, �/'d✓/D Type of Application to be Filed G. l_ Property Identification Number(P.I.D.)

We are submitting this CUP application for 1444 Shoreline Drive (Brown's Bay Marina) for operation of a boat club within the B-2 Lakeshore Business District under the current requirements. These requirements are clearly stated and we will show that we meet all guidelines including and especially with regards to parking. In addition,I would be very interested in helping in any way as you work to better understand the evolution of the boat club business model and what positive effects it can have on a community. With over 25 years in the boat and marine industry,the single biggest factor that has driven me over the years is seeing the smiles on the kid's faces that only boating can create. The quality family time on the water is something that we should not take for granted. Passion for boating is woven into the fabric of our society in Minnesota. Unfortunately,boating has become more and more elitist due to escalating expense,and people have become less tolerant of the hassles of boat ownership. Access to water issues are malang it harder for the average family to enjoy our resources. Smaller vehicles not fit for towing a boat,long lines and lack of parking at public accesses,and continuing issues and changing regulations regarding exotic species are just a few of the challenges facing working families who want to spend time together on the water. Your Boat Club provides solutions to all of these challenges and more. We at Your Boat Club believe in being stewards of the lakes and communities we operate within. This is evidenced in my past work with the LMA, LMCD,the DNR and other organizations,where we championed community events such as Lake Clean Up days,The Future of the Lake Day, Kids Fishing Clinics and Women on the Water events. In addition, I have worked with non-profit organizations such as Camp Sunfish,Camp Confidence, Make a Wish and more. � We appreciate your time and consideration of this application and we look forward to becoming a part of your community • Since ly, /,� . � J ��� �� ' . � �� Luke R.

Our mission at Your Boat Club is to provide the very best experiences of family fun while boating. It is our belief that by eliminating the high cost and long term commitment of boat ownership,we will make a positive impact in our members'attitudes and experiences of what boating has to offer! There's nothing better than spending quality time on the water with family and friends. Almost everyone loves to go boating.The problem is that boat ownership can be very expensive and,unfortunately,filled with hassles. But now there is a SMARTER way to boat. Better than boat rental or even fractional boat ownership,our concept is simple. Our members pay a fee to join our club,and in return we provide them with a fleet of all new sla,pontoon and fishing boats outfitted for a wide range of activities.As a member,you will only pay a fraction of the cost of boat ownership and still get to enjoy all the best that boating has to offer.We limit our memberships to ensure that we always have great boat availability.And you don't need to worry about all of the hassles that usually come along with boating,such as boat cleaning, covering,trailering,storage,maintenance,equipment breakdowns or even insurance-which is all included in your membership. Not only do our members appreciate the substantial savings they enjoy,they appreciate the convenience! �� :�� 1 ' +� ''S 2 011 7'OF OR�J�lQ . Your Boat Club LLC& Brown's Bay Marina CUP Application ' - February 25,2011 Our members simply show up and go boating.They can take out a slfl boat and pull the lads tubing one day, come back another day for an adult only cruise on a pontoon,or stop by a few hours after work to take out a fishing boat for a few hours to see if the fish are biting. They decide how they want to use their membership,and when they're done they just toss us the keys and go home. How the club operates. Your Boat Club offers Fishing boats, Pontoons and Runabouts,giving our members many options as to the on water activities they will enjoy. As fishing is more common on week day mornings and evenings [fishermen don't like the heavy weekend traffic) it is very rare for our boats to all be out at any given time. At Your Boat Club's most established location our boats average an 8 person gross capacity. Most members are young families or couples and it is very rare for any 18'to 28'boat to be used at full capacity as there simply is not enough room. By far the most common scenario is for a family to show up in one vehicle to take out a boat Our current member base is comprised of families of who over 60% are former boat owners. In addition,all members are required to pass boating safety course,which will be taught by certified marine captains. This requirement assures an understanding of safe boating with curriculum that will be determined with the assistance of the United States Power Squadron. While it is true our boats will be used more than the average marina tenant,we still usually only have one family in a boat at any one time,and the busy holidays at any marina are already heavily used. Where we increase boat usage is in the non-peak times where parlang is never going to be an issue. As any marine or boat club owner will tell you,a large part of the service we provide is the ability to simply pull up,park and go boating. Therefore it is already built in,as an inherent obligation that we will,in a worst case scenario,provide an overflow parlang plan to continue to service our members/tenants. These plans can include but are not limited to: • Offsite parlang and shuttle service • Neighborly agreements for employee parlang • Limited number of parl�ng permits • Valet Service • Controlled parlang instructions • Members and tenants leaving keys with staff to allow for double parl�ng situations 2 �E� 2 5 2011 �ITY OF O�ONO ' Your Boat Club LLC& Brown's Bay Marina CUP Application February 25,2011 • Other as required The parking numbers. There is a total of 81 parlflng spots on premise based on the following numbers: • 26 spots in lot on Browns Bay side • 47 spots on Tanager Lake side • 8 spots in wedge shaped parl�ng lot on Brown's Bay side (conservative number) The parking requirement for the site is 64 stalls,based on the current 98 slip configuration of the marina. • 59=98 slips*.6 • 8=Retail space • -3 = Retail space comes with 5 slips so reduces number by 3 (5*.6=3) This leaves 17 parl�ng spaces over and above the current requirements. Key points to consider regarding Your Boat Club impact on parlflng: • Our Customer Parlang(and boats) will all be on the Tanager side reducing pedestrian crossing of Shoreline Drive. • All midday boat Turnovers require 1 �/z hour to ensure adequate time to clean and prepare the boat eliminating any doubling up of inember par�ng. • On busiest days of the year last year,there was still ample parlang available at marina • We are staffed every day and will ensure smooth parlang facilitation • Boat Clubs in general are a net benefit to parking as a boat club member is not parl�ng a large truck and 30'trailer at the public access every weekend. • Our boats at 16'-28' and are typically used by one family whereas large cruisers can be used by up and over 20 persons. • Due to the variety of boats in the fleet it is rare to have all boats out at any one time. Any advertising and marketing on site will be minimal and will work with the city planner for advanced approval. The house or cottage located at 1440 Shoreline Drive will be cleaned up and utilized as a residential cabin or cottage. While it is in a,sad state of disrepair,we will clean it up,add � 3 F�� 25 2011 �I�A���€��4� Your Boat Club LLC&�Brown's Bay Marina CUP Application ' February 25,2011 new paint and carpet and will not be used as a retail location for Your Boat Club as we do not require a retail space at any of our locations.

' � � ' ( � � � Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Re : Application of Windward Marine . FINDINGS Public hearing on the matter of length and setback variances for applicant, Windward Marina, was held on January 6 , 1982 at the LMCD office in Wayzata, Minnesota at 8 : 00 p.m. Jim Rivers, owner, appeared for applicant to request length and setback variances to continue the dock plan at Windward Marine on Tanager Lake, for 40 WAU's established in 1975, as per attached survey. The District has held this matter in abeyance since 1975 to resolve related property and zoning problems, granting temporary licenses to applicant since that time pending settlement of said problems. Upon advice from the City of Orono that the City' s final action on the zoning questions would not bear on LMCD' s action on this. application, the Water Structures & Environment Committee recom- mended variances be granted for 1982 for the length of each dock; the setback to the. north; and the setback to the south. The dock configuration hereby approved results from the reduction in length from the previous configuration in which a portion of the dock extended 190 feet from shore. Therefore, the proposed dock plan reduces the lakeward intrusion of � the dock structures _ and the impact of the dock on the lake. .� , The setback variance on the North would not have been required at . the time of the original application for the proposed dock since property to the North was zoned commercial and owned by the applicant. However, recent action by the City of Orono has resulted in a rezoning of the property to the North, thereby reducing the authorized dock use area and making it infeasible to comply with setback requirements. The property owner to the south, Minnetonka Boat Works, Inc. , does not object to the current dock pattern remaining in place for the 1982 boating season. � ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, it is ordered that variances be granted for Windward Marina for: 1 . the length of each dock; � ' � 1 � . � - : � . . � . � i � . . I , . � . 1 2 . the setback to the north, including an extension beyond the lot line extended, with the slips opening 'toward the lot �� line; , 3 . the setback to � the south, with the slips �opening toward the lot line; 4.' all variances hereby granted are subject to the continuing condition that dock structures constructed and maintained on the site be consistent with the site plan attached hereto, ' and hereby made a part hereof, as Exhibit A; subject to the stipulation that the setback variances be subject to annual review with the dock license. The variance issued hereby shall grant no vested right to the use of Lake Minnetonka. Such use shall at all times remain subject to regulation by the District to assure the public of reasonable and equitable access to the lake.

Attest: . � E. utive D' ec r, Greg ry S. Nybeck J ` ., , ' � . , � ' (` r . � LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT In re: Application of Windward Marine, Inc. This matter came on for hearing before the Water Structures and Environment Committee on February=.18, 1981, at the City Hall in Spring Park, Minnesota, at 8 :00 o``clock p.m. Jim Rivers, president of Windward Marine, Inc. , appeared for the applicant. The application is for a variance from the length provisions of the LMCD Code, allowing an amendment to the dock configuration between 100 and 200 feet from the shoreline, on applicant' s lot on Brown 's Bay, City of Orono. Mr. Rivers explained that the revised plan does not provide for the storage of a greater number of watercraft than are presently stored at the site. The reconfiguration would allow the elimination of moorings which intrude further than 200 feet into the Lake, thereby reducinq hazards to navigation and making more of the surface of the lake available for use by the public. Portions of the existing dock extend 200 feet from the shore; therefore, the proposed dock will not extend further into . the lake than the existing dock. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, a variance is granted to con- struct a dock as shown on the attached site plan. The dock is not to extend more than 200 feet from the shoreline, and applicant's mooring area must be eliminated. This variance shall grant no vested rights to the use of Lalee Minnetonka. Such use shall at all times remain subject to regulation by the District to assure the public of reasonable and equitable access to the Lake.
