Information Flyer#1-99 <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> Building& Zoning Department � <br /> What You Should Know About... <br /> RESIDENTIAL DOCKS <br /> More than 1/3 of the residential lots in Orono abut the lakeshore. With neazly 40 miles of Lake <br /> Minnetonka shoreline, and additional properties abutting Lang Lake, Mooney Lake,French Lake, <br /> Dickey's Lake,Lake Katrina, Lake Classen and Lydiard Lake, Orono is home to an abundance of <br /> dock owners. The following rules and regulations govern the placement and use of private <br /> residential docks in Orono: <br /> > Seasonally installed docks are a permitted accessory use for residential properties � <br /> which abut the lakeshore and contain a residence structure(Section 10.23 Subd. SA). <br /> > New seasonal docks require a one-time permit($30.) and may be reinstalled at the <br /> same location annually thereafter without additional permits (Fee Schedule,p. 8). <br /> > Permanent docks require a Conditional Use Permit (Sec. 10.55 Subd. 9B) and may <br /> require additional permits from the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District(LMCD) <br /> and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). <br /> > Renting private dock space in the City of Orono is prohibited. Providing <br /> slippage for anyone other than the owners or occupants of the property,regardless <br /> whether there is a 'rental fee' involved, is prohibited. In brief, such activity is <br /> cosidered to be the 'business of docking' and is only allowed within the B-2 <br /> Lakeshore Business District (marinas). <br /> > Sharing of a single dock by three or more adjacent lakeshore owners is allowed <br /> subject to City Council approval of a Joint Use Dock License(Section 5.42). <br /> > Placement of docks on Lake Minnetonka is govemed by the LMCD(612-745-0789). <br /> . Minimum setbacks from the extended property lines aze required. Contact the <br /> LMCD for further information. For other Orono lakes, contact the Building & <br /> Zoning Department(249-4600). Minimum setbacks (similaz to those in effect for <br /> other types of accessory structures) will be required, and special permits may be <br /> required for docks which must cross a wetland to reach open water. <br /> � <br />
