A copy of this policy is enclosed with this letter. 2. Dedicated Staff Training: All HWS staff will be trained at time of hire and annually on policies and procedures related to ID checking. 3.

INFORMATION As established in City Policy No. 012 Development Application Review Procedures, Jan Knutson, a family member of the property owner, Anders Knutson of Pine West LLC, and the proposed tenant, Stewart's Boats and Board Shop, will be attending the July 28t" City Council meeting to present a concept plan as a Council Introduction for proposed reuse of the building and property at 4851 Shoreline Drive. The concept is for boattmarine dealership sales and related service/maintenance activities in the west portion of the building, along with outdoor storage in the rear/south side of the property. The proposed business would also include accessory retail sales. "Boat and Marine Sales" and "Open Sales Lot" are allowed by conditional use in the Mixed -Use Corridor District, while the marine service/maintenance activities requires review as a Substantial Use Determination per City Code Sec. 129-171 to allow marine service and maintenance to be deemed similar to activities included in the `Automotive Repair, Minor" use which is permitted in the Mixed -Use Corridor District. The east half of the building will be used by the property owner for office use for administrative and property management functions, general business administration and personal storage. As the Council is aware, the purpose of the concept introduction is to provide City Council members the opportunity to review the basic elements of the proposed project and to provide direction about any refinements or issues that should be researched or addressed prior to making a formal application. There will be no formal motions or votes. 39 As this is a concept introduction, Staff will not be summarizing the concept, making a recommendation, or making a presentation. As required by City Policy No. 012, Staff did send property owners within 350 feet a letter on July 17, 2026 informing them of the Council Introduction about the proposed project and notifying them of the opportunity to provide comment at the July 28th City Council meeting. The proposed tenants have also been reaching out and meeting neighboring property owners and residents on their own. ATTACHMENTS • Stewart's Boat's and Board Shop request • Stewart's Boat's and Board business overview/plan • Pine West LLC (owner) business overview/plan • Preliminary site/parking plan .E Request for Review of Proposed Use at 4851 Shoreline Dr. July 10, 2026 Dear Sarah, We are requesting your review of our proposed marine sales and service use at 4851 Shoreline Dr. as part of the Conditional Use Permit process. Our proposed use is a professional boat dealership and service facility with indoor sales, showroom, accessory retail, and enclosed service bays. As discussed, we intend to operate in a clean, orderly, and low -impact manner consistent with the zoning district and surrounding uses. As experienced boaters and active members of the wakesurfmg community in the area, we also value responsible boating practices and community stewardship. Thank you for your time and guidance. Sincerely, Katie Stewart Stewart's Boat and Board Shop 51 Stewart's Boat and Board Shop Scope of Activities Stewart's Boat and Board Shop is proposed as a professional marine dealership and service facility specializing in premium marine products, with a primary focus on inboard towboats and waters ports -re lated equipment. Our goal is to provide high -quality boat sales, service, and customer support while maintaining a clean, orderly, and well - managed property that complements the surrounding community. The front portion of the property will be used primarily for customer parking and access to the building. We would request the ability to mount business signage on the building. No trailer storage, outdoor repair activities, or outdoor inventory storage are planned in the front lot area. The front office area will serve as the primary customer reception and administrative space. Customers will visit the dealership for scheduled appointments, boat sales consultations, financing discussions, service scheduling, and customer support. The office areas will approximately house 4 employee workstations, administrative functions, staff meetings, and manufacturer training sessions. A small retail component will be incorporated into the office and showroom areas, offering marine accessories, watersports equipment, life jackets, ropes, apparel, and other products that support boat ownership. This retail component is intended to compliment the dealership's core marine business rather than function as a stand-alone retail store. The office environment will maintain a professional atmosphere with low -volume background music similar to a typical office setting. Behind the office area is a combined showroom and service space that serves as the operational heart of the business. The layout is designed to accommodate up to four boats indoors at one time. The two spaces closest to the office wall will typically be used for the display of inventory boats available for sale, allowing customers to view boats in a clean, climate -controlled environment. Customers will move through this space for product demonstrations, sales consultations, and boat delivery orientations. Depending on the season and available inventory, approximately two to four boats may be displayed indoors at any given time. The two spaces closest to the overhead garage door will generally be utilized for scheduled service work, maintenance, inspections, and customer boat preparation. The service department will operate within two designated service bays and be staffed by certified marine technicians performing scheduled maintenance, diagnostics, winterization, detailing, warranty repairs, accessory installation, and pre -delivery inspections. Most work will occur indoors during normal business hours, although technicians may occasionally perform scheduled off -site service calls. Service -related noise will include occasional engine testing while boats are connected to a water supply (garden hose for diagnostic and service verification purposes. Typical marine inboard engine noise is measured around-70-80dB when within 1-2 meters. At a distance of 50 feet, sounds drops to ~60dB or less. For reference, a normal conversation is--60dB, vacuum cleaner is -70dB, and a lawnmower is--90dB. Centurian boats have noise suppressing mufflers, which helps keep service/test runs 42 relatively subdued compared to unmodified marine engines. In the future, a small forklift may be used periodically to move boats between designated staging areas, service bays, and the showroom. Background music may be played within the building at normal office volume levels and will not be audible outside the facility. As a premium boat dealership, our business experiences seasonal fluctuations. We anticipate maintaining approximately six inventory boats on -site throughout the year. During peak spring de -winterization and fall winterization seasons, an average of approximately five customer boats may be present awaiting scheduled service. Some customer boats may remain on -site longer when waiting for parts, warranty authorization, or completion of repairs. The rear portion of the property will function as an organized operational staging area. Customer boat drop-off will occur in the designated location along the southeastern portion of the lot bows facing the north starboard (right) side on the edge of the grass. Following check -in, dealership personnel and certified technicians will move boats into designated service staging spaces located along the west side of the property, where they will await scheduled service. Once the boat is pulled in and service is complete it will get marked done then staged back into its designated spot for pick up. Inventory boats available for sale will also be parked in the same orientation as the service boats, west side of the property backed into designated spots bows facing east. This layout is intended to create an efficient and organized flow of customer units and inventory while maintaining a clean and professional appearance. (See attached diagram). The rear lot is not intended to serve as a long-term storage facility. Rather, it functions as a temporary staging area supporting normal dealership operations, including service appointments, inventory management, customer deliveries, and demonstration preparation.

The owner's use of this space is low -intensity and limited to administrative office work and private personal storage. There is no retail activity, no customer or public traffic, no outdoor storage, and no use of the rear lot associated with the owner's portion. The owner is committed to maintaining a clean, orderly, and well -managed property consistent with the surrounding community. Front Offices — Administrative Use The two front offices on the east side will be used by Pines West for administrative and property -management functions related to the ownership and operation of the building, as well as the owner's general business administration. Typical activities include bookkeeping, lease and records administration, vendor and contractor coordination, correspondence, and general office work. Occupancy is limited and intermittent — primarily the owner — with no regular customer appointments, walk-in traffic, or public visits. The offices will maintain a quiet, professional atmosphere consistent with a typical low -occupancy office setting. East Warehouse Bay — Private Storage The east warehouse bay is currently retained by Pines West and used for low -intensity private storage. Stored items consist of the owner's personal vehicle and bicycles, along with similar personal belongings. No commercial inventory, hazardous materials, or industrial activity is stored or conducted in this space, and no repair, fabrication, or service work takes place. The bay generates no appreciable noise and has no customer or public access; entry is limited to the owner on an as -needed basis during normal hours. Regarding the "future showroom" notation shown on the tenant's concept drawing: this reflects only a potential future possibility and not a current use. The east bay is presently retained by Pines West for the owner's own administrative and storage purposes as described above. Should Pines West seek to lease this space or change its use in the future, it will return to the City for review and approval through the appropriate process before any such use commences. Rear Lot — No Use Pines West makes no use of the rear lot. All rear -lot activity is associated solely with the tenant's operation. The owner conducts no storage, staging, or other activity in the rear lot. Owner access to the east portion is limited to ordinary front -lot parking for entry to the offices. Summary MI Pines West's retained use of the east portion of the building is intentionally low -impact: quiet administrative office work and private personal storage, with no retail, no customer traffic, no outdoor storage, and no rear -lot use. This owner -occupied use is intended to complement the surrounding community and to be fully compatible with the adjacent neighborhood. 45 jo Ad
