Mrs. Janet Hall appearea before the Board ~md introduced Mr.
Mark Handler to amswer questions. She referred to the pla~s
being displayed on the table for the members' review.
Mr. Lambert questioned why this renovation was before this
Board and Mr. Handler explained how this was required by the
zoning requirements. Ee stated that his pmrpose was to ac-
quaint the Board with the plans. He showed a rendered site
plan and elevation. He explained that the site plan was a
prelimimary site plan submitted to the Builddmg Department
and reviewed by the Engineering and Utilities Departments.
He pointe4 out the existing buildings and facilities and pro-
posed additions and renovations. He explained the proposed
plans thoroughly.
Mr. Howell suggested explainSng how the parking requirements
were calculated and Mr. Handler stated that in examining the
ordinance for parking requirements, they were clear in regards
to square footage ~_nd also in marinas, but no consideration1
was given to dry storage and they have never been confronted
with dry storage facilities. He explained how they had cal-
culated the physical design and e~gtneering liabilities ef the
system. He explained how 85 to 90 boats womld be handled per
day and they allowed 100 parking spaces in addition to the
parking requirements for this. They felt this spproach was
reasonable. This site shows 111 parkimg spaces on this pro-
perty and they have stated on the plam and in discmssions
that 40 effstreet parking spaces will be provided on adja-
cent land. Mrs. Hall added that they would lease the land
to the west for this purpose. Mr. Howell clarified that they
were meeting the parking requirements as far as the other
bui~ this was the only way they comld calculate the
parking dry storage facility. However, there could
be one problem with the ad4itional parking with it beimg on
leased land, the Board must state what kind of lease is
required. He explained this further. Mrs. Hall added that
they must what would be a reasonable length of time.
ChairmsmKe questioned what kind of term she was talking

that on the storage there was nothing

of how would go into the water on one day. Mr.
Handler further hew the planners had researched this
at other storage facilities.
Mr. Howell suggested that if the Board wanted to go along
with the ten year land lease on the parking, they sSeuld
stipulate that at the cad of te~ years, they must provide
a second story to meet the parking as required. Chairman
Kelly referred to there net being any problems previously at
this location with parking. Mr. Lambert stated he did not
like imposing such a sti~mlation with reference $o this lease.
Mr. Winter stated he did not like to make a stipulation like
this and is in favor of what is shown~.
