My mview also included the staff report prepared by CA unity Growth fo tituce. A continuing concern relates to the use of the proposed units. Tbare is little justification given to support the purported use as a commercial resort- 7% cunont proposal to utilixe residential PUD stoomiards for density, aptempts to asnelior'at'c this disGropancy and is a positiivc step. However, the proposed units are rWativoly largo structtueq with anachod garagm and little or no rmuiretnent that they bn rented. "There is no domunentatien as to 11ow the devclopmeat will continue to function as a resort,and how tfie project will rornain primarily 3orvice aricnted. The previous propmal did not meet the test as a rworticomm=ial PUD,nor does this proposal. As recognized in the staff report, the city's comprehensive plan encourages the retention of res-orts such as Wilderness Point, However, that is not what is being proposed here. If the city approves the proposal, my suggestion to the city and to the developer is to r000goize this proposal far what it is, whirl' is a residential PUD.and to proceed accordingly,with appropriate mooning ifnomssary. 1 am also coney nwd with the pmpos-d to instal Oil aworing spaces. Tho slaw shorelaud Fundards,which the city has adopted, clearly limits mooring sees to orso for =&allowable unit in the first tier. This does not one qg=for each unit which odgk be theoretically allowed,but one space for each unit which dhm city ultimately does allow in the Srst tier. T1re curnxt proposal would provide mooring spaces for non-riparian units also which is c z&ary to die infest of 6=shards.

This can make a noticeably differew3o in visibility of rho couopica as opposed to Busing white,or other bright colors. My last cornmont relates to the allowed unit density, 1%shoreland staodar& provide the optiun to allow an increase over the base dewsity. A maximum iaerewe of up to 50%can be granted in the first tier with mni ture geLback is increaacd accordingly, and other mitipaing factor are included_ However, such an increase i4 density ig allowed at the discretion of the city. heft is no obligation For the city to allow any density increases_ VNR lnfamiation 651-2966157 - 1-0984A6-6367 - TTY:651-296 S4tl4 • 1-$W.657-1924) Ali Equal Oppwunity Empina*r Prieted.xi kmycicel i'nper i witioini a Nfinimum of 20�F Po�.e•C11n�;u��er W:.wr
