r Planning Commission Minutes March 28, 2000 Page 9 COMMISSIONER PEDERSON MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY NATURE'S HIDEAWAY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FULL LIQUOR SERVICE AT THE ELK RIVER COUNTRY CLUB SITE, PUBLIC HEARING CASE NO. CU 00-8, WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: 1. THE APPLICANT SHALL COMPLY WITH THE CITY'S LIQUOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. 5.6. Request by Wapiti Park Camparound to Rebuild Structure, Public Hearina Case No. CU 00-6 Staff report by Michele McPherson. Wapiti Park Campground is requesting a conditional use permit to allow reconstruction of a 30 ft. x 55 ft. structure to be used for laundry, office, and assembly. Ms. McPherson explained that Wapiti Parr has been in existence prior to the incorporation of the City and Township. In 1983, the parcel was rezoned from Agricultural to R 1 b {Single Family Residential) and the campgrounds became a conditional use. Later, campgrounds were removed from the district and wapiti Park became a legal, nonconforming use. In November 1999, the existing structure burned completely down and, by ordinance, they are not allowed to rebuild. Anew ordinance does, however, allows interim uses. Since the applicant has indicated that the campground will likely continue for 10 years (or less, depending on future assessments for water and sewer), the Planning Commission is asked to consider the applicants' request to rebuild as an interim use. Ms. McPherson noted that staff does have a concern regarding use of the proposed building for consumption of alcohol, since the site has both a 3.2 beer (off and on-sale) and setup license. Staff recommends approval of the request as an interim use, with a condition that the approval is valid for ten years or until the property is redeveloped, whichever is sooner, and an additional condition that the structure comply with all requirements of the Chief Building Official. Ms. McPherson noted that staff is recommending that the campground be considered an interim use. Chair Mesich asked if parking was provided. Ms. McPherson explained that it was her understating most of the residents/guests walked to the site, but that there was parking available around the building. Chair Mesich opened the public hearing. Mike Glen, 18746 Troy Street, applicant, stated that there is a 60' x 120' area designated for parking. Mr. Glen noted that the police have never been out to the site to check on underage drinking. He is not aware of a problem and that any underage youths consuming alcohol are escorted off the property. Chair Mesich asked if the building would have a bathroom. Ms. McPherson stated that there would be one bathroom with a shower facility. Chair Mesich • questioned if the gathering room would be one large room, with no separations. Ms. McPherson stated that it would be an open room.
