FILE #16-3878 <br />November 21, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />The Long Lake Fire Department has noted a need to store a boat on Lake Minnetonka to <br />facilitate emergency response. The City Council has suggested an amendment to the ordinance <br />be considered that would allow the Long Lake Fire Department to use a dock, and store its' boat <br />there during the overnight hours. To do this, an amendment of the standards are necessary. <br />The proposed ordinance only proposes elimination of the overnight storage requirement. The <br />ordinance retains Hennepin County's role in the structure and its' use. This linkage reduces the <br />likelihood that other docks would be installed throughout the city while sharing taxpayer <br />resources. Hennepin County would need to support Long Lake Fire Departments request to <br />store their boat on Hennepin County's dock. <br />In the review of the site plan, factors such as parking, vehicle visibility, screening (for the boat) <br />would need to be considered. <br />Staff requests Planning Commission recommendation of ordinance as drafted. <br />
