He then requested two modifications to th-e Staff Report. Thefirstinvolved the 20' minimal setback requirement for the marine way. He advised that the additional footage was unnecessary due to the maximum 16' cradle width. He concurred, additionally,. that due to the 3'-5' space from the water line to the end of the porch, workers.' working room would be adequate with a 17' setback for the marine way. Mr. Robinson's second modi- fication request involved a deletion of the Staff's suggested reduction in the floor space of the proposed building of at leas.t.750,sq. ft., or a deletion of Staffs suggested 38 offstreet.parking spaces.. Mr. Edward Sands, Architect, next appeared before the Plan- ning Commission to introduce himself and to express his willingness to answer any questions regarding the asthetics of the project. He informed the Planning Commission that if the 750 sq. ft: is eliminated, the office building would not be economically feasible and the shipyard would not be able to function. Mr.'Robinson again approached the Planning Commission to con- cur that the yacht sales alternative would not be economicall advantageous, and an office building denial would not allow the shipyard to exist, also due to economics. Richard Hogan, Director of Community Development, advised that.a 17' minimal setback might limit the boatyard opera- tion. Commissioner Haidinger expressed his general opposition re- garding the attempt to inforce continued participation in any particular business, if economics dictate otherwise. He also commented that in this particular project he felt that it should be the landowner's responsibility to provide adequate parking. Mr. Larson, owner., appeared before the Planning Commission to assure them that the fascia on the west porch would extend to no less than T' above the grade of the ramp. There being no others desiring to appear and be heard on this item, the public hearing was closed.
