approval for a temporary parking area on th, east side for th, party boat, till thc ~um.is
lifted. He indicated that he wasn't going to got involved with engineers and arohiUms oa this site
till the City.decides what they will require in thc Riverl¥ont area.

qu~ionable issues.

Mr. Massarelli recommended that this Commission take affirmative action on this denial, making a
motion to deny.showing where it is inconsistent withthe Comprehensive Plan.

Mr. Massarelli sugge~xi: sending the site plan back. to staff and,~et it cleaned up. He urged'the
Commission to articulate what they want clarified ,on the site plan.
Mr. Skidmore comm~ that he could accept an approval with conditions to dean up the site
plan, but he couldn't agree with a straight denial.
Mr. Massarelli suggested that this issue be postponed, and Mr. Taylor immediately noted that he
would go to court over this denial. Mr. Taylor also stressed his time element.
Mr. Massarelli asked the applicant if he had any pending action in front of DEP concerning this
project or associated with this project. Mr. Taylor responded 'Yto".
Mr. Robert Skidmore commented that he applied for the DEP permit and construction should start
on the dock in about another month. He noted that the permit was issued in February, 1997, and it
took him three years and $65,000 to obtain it.
Mr. Massarelli then asked Mr. Skidmore if he had any pending action with DEP for modifying this
permit or associated with this property. Mx. Skidmore respondod '~o".
Mr. Skidmore asked that the issue be approved with comiitions, and let staff review it. The
Commission members were not in favor of this. He also indicated that the City's requirements for
this site plan for a temporary parking lot were ridiculous.

Chnm. Fischer noted that if the site plan drawia~ is cleaned up, he would call a special, meeting to
review it. The Commission members tried to convey, the issues that should be made clear on this
drawing. Issues such as parking spaces, radiuses, and other measurommts were recommended.
Mr.~ Massarelli reminded the Commission of the noticing requirements, and would have'to check
wig. the City Attorney au calling a special meeting. He felt thatif this issue is put ~to another
meeting, it will have to be re-noticed which is a 15 day noticing requirement. He also informed the
applicant that the Code reqmres that a building permit is issued ten days after the site plan is
approved.
Mr. Taylor accused the Commission and stair of holding him to a standard that is ridiculous
Mr. Massarelli, for the record, noted that Mr. Taylor was not being treated any differently than
anyone else. In fact, he noted that there is another ~ lot ou the agenda umil~a~d the
applicant is the City. He noted that the City.must submit site plans also.
MOTION by Driver/Pliska

cuts, and then call a special meeting, if allowedby the City. Attorney, to approve this
matter as soon a~ possible.
