·" .. (0. \ £"-4 . First, The Permit was originally issued to "Stanford Rowing and Paddling". "Stanford Rowing and Paddling" had been meant to represent the fact that the enclosure would be used by both the Stanford Crew Team (Rowing) and the Stanford Canoe and Kayak Team (Paddling). The permit's original contact person was Craig Amerkhanian, Director of Rowing and coach of the Crew Team at Stanford. However, all related City Council reports, Parks and Recreation Commission reports and insurance documentation site both parties and the understanding was that this permit was a permit for Stanford University. In fact, it would not be possible for Stanford Rowing and Paddling to enter into a contract because it has no legal existence separate from Stanford University. The only capacity in which Stanford Rowing and Paddling could have contracted is through and on behalf of Stanford University. Second, the ADB claims that over the past year the Party to the permit has abandoned the enclosure, that the enclosure is now being used by a different group and that this new use has "caused community complaints, controversy and serious property issues". The allegation has been made in reference to the fact that Stanford Crew no longer uses the enclosure. However, as already stated, the Party to the original permit was "Stanford Rowing and Paddling" which referred to both Stanford Crew and the SCKT and ultimately, Stanford University. The SCKT has used the enclosure since it was built and continues to use it in an unchanged manner. If anything, the impact on the community ... should be reduced by the fact that Stanford Crew no longer practices at Redwood Shores. t Crew boats are significantly larger and noisier than kayaks. Third, as a registered student organization, the SCKT operates under the auspices of the Office of Student Activities and is directly responsible to it. The Office of Student Activities operates under the auspices of the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students operates under the auspices of the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University. Finally, the only capacity in which any part of Stanford University may contract is on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University thus the permit is and has been an agreement with the Board of Trustees all along. The SCKT recognizes that there is a problem in the way that the permit has been assigned and in order to clarify these issues, the SCKT proposes that the permit be assigned to the Office of Student Activities at Stanford University and the contact person listed as "The Current Assistant Director of Student Activities" Carolina Garcia is currently the Assistant Director of Student Activities who acts as our advisor. This would, in effect, show the support of the Office of Student Activities. In addition, this assignment would address the Architectural Board's concern about the perceived lack of control over the group using the enclosure. Specifically, the SCKT operates under the control of the Office of Student Activities which will be the Party to the permit. Þ Use of the Phvsical Enclosure: With regard to the use of the physical enclosure, the ADB raised one issue with regard to the amount of water used when washing boats after
