s+?" 11 I apologize for getting this to you late, was out of town and just got back to looking at the agenda for tonight... I have given you my ideas as an LMCD board member and also as a resident and now that I know how askew the LMCD is in granting variances for things that neighboring property owners are impacted on... and as always, you can just tell me to pack SAND... I understand that) i! To Dustin Reif, Mayor Walsh and all city council members... Have read with interest the new ideas of docks for the Crystal Bay residents on city property... I still support the concept of a single multiple dock, that was brought up during the work session I attended and if as presented, I would make the case at the LMCD to approve a multiple dock license for the property owners... It would be presented the way the city wants it and bingo, we go on in perpetuity until they break the rules... That way, it's in the LMCD's hands and they can process as you all intend in 38-905 A. **As noted in my past correspondence with you all, there is an issue with a dock that the LMCD granted a variance for in Minnetonka Beach that is only 5' off of the property line on one side of fire lane and zero side setback on the other side... Not only that, they also got a variance for an extension to the 5' navigable water code request and that dock is 158' out from shore... Strongly impacting the enjoyment on the North Property owner... Obviously, you can make the argument that the owner knew what he was buying, but look at the overage of dock #10 (if you do the math the right angle footage is 30')... So, the battle begins as to who is correct; LMCD, City of Mtka Beach, or the resident... So, if left up to the LMCD and they grant similar variances, after all they might say they have jurisdiction at the 929.4 Ordinary high water mark... Subd.38-902 D. Boat license number of any boats to be moored at the dock. LMCD allows up to 4... Subd. 38-905 A. In addition to the provisions of this Section, all dock license sites shall fully 39 comply with LMCD regulations LMCD allows up to 4... C. Docks. The license holder shall maintain only one dock at the dock license site. Understood that the concept is to provide and dock and a boat, but the LMCD could allow them a variance up to whatever amount of extension on the dock to get to 5' of Navigable water... What that means is, even though these lots are not that wide, a 150+ dock like Minnetonka Beach has been allowed will allow multiple boats to be along the inner part of the main dock and increase density... Maybe that is not an issue and instead of the concept as I remember of trying to provide one boat/one dock; that might be your thinking now... Every boat as we know does not require 4-5' of water depth to be able to dock... E. Transferability Dock space may not be rented. As you know I like that...
