DEVELOPMENT/DESIGN CONSTRAINTS Traffic/Circulation Staff reviewed the applicant's Site Plan and indicated to him at the Development Committee meeting for this application on May 25, 1994, that the number and placement of the 25 proposed boats would not leave enough room for a 24-foot-wide aisle through the boat storage area. In addition, the applicant was advised that the number of boats proposed did not represent a less intensive use than the previously approved nonconforming use. The applicant was given an opportunity to provide a revised Site Plan for staff to review, showing the minimum aisle width and the number of boats that could be stored on the site and still maintain the aisle; however, it was not received before the staff report was finalized. Facilities/Services The applicant has proposed that he be permitted to continue using the existing on-site services. The existing well in the southeast corner of the building,which was installed without approval of and inspection by Public Health Services, does not appear to meet current Public Health standards and would have to be replaced. In order to accommodate both the existing restroom in the shop building and the caretaker mobile home (the latter was also installed without the required approvals and pe(mits), the septic system would have to be expanded and an area designated on the Improvement Plan for a replacement area. Because the septic system may not be driven or parked on or used for a storage area, the portion of the site that is dedicated to this use cannot be used for the storage of boats. At the Development Committee meeting for this application on May 25, 1994, the applicant, at staff's recommendation, agreed to contact the Environmental Health Division of Public Health Services for information regarding the design of and limitations upon the use of the septic system for the proposed project. The applicants indicated that this information would be included on a revised Site Plan that would be submitted to the Development Services Division by Thursdav, June 2, 1994_ Staff from the Environmental Health Division were not contacted, and the revised Site Plan was not submitted until Monday, June 6, 1994, too late for staff to review before finalizing a recommendation in the staff report to the Planning Commission. Staff, therefore, cannot verity that the site is large enough to accommodate the proposed 25 boats that would be stored on the site and the required improvements to the site's septic system. Storm water runoff generated by the original use was permitted to percolate naturally on the site. In order to comply with requirements of the Development Title, any additional storm water runoff generated as a result of approving the project would have to be collected in an on-site retention pond. NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY Trro letters of opposition were received in response to the application referral for this project. Opposition to the project is based on the incompatibility of the proposed use with existing land uses in the area. The ocoosition states that a fence should be required and the height of storage limited on the west side of the property to screen the proposed use from a residence on that properly. that boats should not be permitted in front of the shop building, and that boat parts and other debris frorn the existing use should be removed from adiacent properties.
