Summary

Jonathan Miller received a special exception to operate a small marine service and repair business in Reservoir Park; the board approved limits on winter storage and emphasized preserving the hammerhead turnaround and complying with permits.

Jonathan Miller, the applicant, said the proposed unit at 80 Reservoir Road is currently used for boat storage and that he seeks to add boat repair and service operations. Miller estimated vessel transports of about 10–20 per month and roughly 5–10 customer visits monthly, said repairs will occur inside the unit and hazardous materials will be stored in approved containers for removal by a professional recycling service.

Board members questioned vehicle circulation and turnaround access. Thorpe flagged a concern about ensuring the cul‑de‑sac/hammerhead remained unobstructed; Miller confirmed the site uses a hammerhead arrangement and that he expects about eight average‑sized boats on site at a time and no winter storage.

The board granted the special exception 5-0, adding conditions that the hammerhead not be blocked, that there be no winter storage, and that any required as‑built plans or permits be filed with the Planning & Development Office prior to occupancy. The board recorded the mover (Jutton) and seconder (Thorpe) and the roll‑call vote.
