New Watersports OperationEndorsed FROM PAGE 28 restaurant, which has only 2,800 square feet of the restaurant code compliant with parking. This made the commission question the total square footage of the restaurant, including the new space on the second floor. Information regarding the amount of square footage of indoor and outdoor dining space on the first and second floor as well as the amount of off-site parking spaces dedicated to the property was neither unknown nor verified by the property owner at the time of the site plan review. With some quick calculations on the spot, it was estimated between the first and second floor the entire business will make up around 15,000 square feet. “You are talking about a 15,000square-foot restaurant that you will be running with 28 parking spaces. There is just no way that could function in that neighborhood. It would wreak havoc on all the other businesses,” Buckley said. The commission voted to table the site plan approval until the applicant returned with the correct calculations of square footage and number of parking spaces available.

NO. 2294 45th Street Watersports A public hearing was held considering a conditional use request for a non-motorized watersport operation on the south side of 45th Street Village. The operation will have a maximum 0f 20 devices; stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and pedal boats. The applicant, Mike Hricik, also owns and operates 48th Street Watersports. Currently on the south side of 45th Street Village there is a beach that abuts the building and meets the bay. The non-motorized watersports operation will function out of that area. Miller pointed out the area has been under construction while the village has been redeveloped, as well as repairs are being done from Super Storm Sandy, and asserted the site is to be cleared of debris prior to opening. “Absolutely, once the construction phase is done we will maintain the area very well,” Hrickic said. Hrickic pointed out the beach is connected to a private wetland that provides the perfect opportunity for watersport patrons to participate in eco tours. “What we want to do is maintain that habitat. There is so much marine life in Ocean City and that is what we want to show people,” he said. The commission was in consensus the location was perfect for a non-motorized watersport operation, especially with how shallow the water is in the area. There was no public testimony given during the hearing. Taylor made a motion to forward a favorable recommendation to the Mayor and City Council to approve the conditional use for a period of five years.
