Your residential site was identified as one that was potentially not in <br /> Dennis Klohs full compliance with one or more LMCD Ordinances. The LMCD Board of <br /> Minnetonka Beach pursue Olson p Directors has opted to a course of education and voluntary compliance for <br /> Victoria all sites so identified. The intent of this letter is to provide you with relevant and <br /> Kelsey Page current information to allow you to assess your dock and watercraft storage <br /> Greenwood <br /> Herb Suerth configuration, and to take steps to bring them into compliance, if necessary, <br /> Woodland during the 2009 boating season. Repeat inspections will be performed in 2009 to <br /> Dick Woodruff <br /> Shorewood determine if this approach was successful. <br /> Your location was identified as one that may have had more restricted watercraft <br /> stored at your site than what was allowed within your dock use area (please refer <br /> to the first and third bullet points that are noted on the following page). The <br /> LMCD website and staff are resources you can use to help answer any questions <br /> you have about the Ordinance details or the voluntary compliance process. <br /> Chapter 2 of the LMCD Code, "Regulations of Structures within the Lake," is the <br /> relevant Chapter in answering those questions. To assist you, copies of various <br /> sections of this Chapter are enclosed for your review, which can also be found on <br /> the LMCD web site at http://www.lmcd.orq/pages/Chapter2.htm. The following is <br /> offered to help summarize the general rules and regulations: <br /> What is a restricted watercraft? <br /> A restricted watercraft is defined as any boat or vessel for use on or stored on the <br /> public waters on the lake except for unrestricted watercraft. An unrestricted <br /> watercraft (Sec. 1.02, Subd. 55c) is defined as a boat or vessel that is: <br /> 1) 16' or less in length and unmotorized; or <br /> 2) 16' or less in length and which uses a motor of 10 horsepower or less; or <br /> 3) 20' or less in length and unmotorized, and propelled solely by human power. <br /> Most personal watercraft (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or similar) would qualify as a <br /> restricted watercraft (due to horsepower). A sailboat longer than 16' (motorized or <br /> un-motorized) would also qualify as a restricted watercraft. <br /> 50%Recycled Content Web Page Address: http://www.lmcd.org <br /> 20%Post Consumer Waste E-mail Address: Imcd@u,Imcd.org <br />
