Small Boat Harbor Manal!ement Plan (1993) The Small Boat Harbor Management Plan (1993) emphasizes the Comprehensive Plan's statement that commercial uses in the harbor should be targeted to those that strengthen and enhance the Small Boat Harbor as a center for marine/tourist convenience uses, and recommends limiting the Small Boat Harbor commercial development to water related and water dependent uses only (page 9). The plan further identifies the following issues and recommendations: · The available public and private parking does not meet the current parking needs of existing businesses and the Marina (page 13); · Recommends increased landscaping in conjunction with development projects (page 21), and · Recommends limiting future building heights East of Fourth Avenue to one-story structures in order to prevent building development from blocking shoreline access and views of the boats within the Harbor (page 22). D. Public Services and facilities are adequate to serve the proposed use. Finding: Water, sewer, telephone and electrical service are available to the property, as well as adequate emergency services. Solid waste disposal is available in the harbor area. E. The proposed use will not be harmful to the public safety, health or welfare. Finding: In order to meet this condition, specific conditions will have to be met. A Floodplain Development Permit will need to be obtained, as the property is in Flood Zone A, as per Panel 3265 of 6375, Flood Insurance Rate Map, Federal Emergency Management Area, effective date May, 19, 1991. An off-site parking area with landscaping will be needed. All necessary State and Federal permits and regulations must be acquired and complied with. F. Any and all specific conditions deemed necessary by the commission to fulfill the above-mentioned conditions shall be met by the applicant. These may include but are not limited to measures relative to access, screening, site development, building design, operation of the use and other similar aspects related to the proposed use. 1. The off site parking area must be landscaped, in order to present an attractive appearance and to lessen erosion caused during heavy rainfall events. 2. One off-street parking space per guest unit shall be provided for the life of the hotel. The required parking must meet the requirements of Seward 'UO!ldopu Sl!
