RESIDENTIAL DOCKS <br /> More than 1/3 of the residential lots in Orono abut the lakeshore. With nearly 40 miles of Lake Minnetonka <br /> shoreline,and additional properties abutting Long Lake,Mooney Lake,French Lake,Dickey's Lake,Lake <br /> Katrina,Lake Classen and Lydiard Lake, Orono is home to an abundance of dock owners. The following <br /> rules and regulations govern the placement and use of private residential docks in Orono: <br /> ✓ Seasonally installed docks are a permitted accessory use for residential properties which abut <br /> the lakeshore and contain a principal residence structure. <br /> ✓ New seasonal docks require a one-time permit ($30.) and may be reinstalled at the same <br /> location annually thereafter without additional permits (Fee Schedule, p. 8). <br /> ✓ Permanent docks require a Conditional Use Permit (Zoning Code Sec.78-1113)and may require <br /> additional permits from the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District(LMCD)and the Minnesota <br /> Department of Natural Resources (DNR). <br /> ✓ Rental of residential dock space is not allowed. Such activity is considered to be a commercial <br /> use,which is allowed only within the B-2 Lakeshore Business district(Sections 94-71 thru 94-101). <br /> ✓ Sharing of a single dock by three or more adjacent lakeshore owners is allowed subject to <br /> City Council approval of a Joint Use Dock License (Sections 94-36 thru 94-38). <br /> ✓ Placement of docks on Lake Minnetonka is governed by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District <br /> (LMCD). Minimum setbacks from the extended property lines are required. Contact the LMCD <br /> for further information (952-745-0789). For other Orono lakes, contact the Building&Zoning <br /> Depa]tment (952-249-4600). Minimum setbacks (similar to those in effect for other types of <br /> accessory structures)will be required,and special permits may be required for docks which must <br /> cross a wetland to reach open water. <br /> Municipal Docks.The City of Orono does not provide municipal docks for private boat storage,and has no <br /> "commons"areas for public dockage. The City does provide a small number of fishing and swimming docks, <br /> typically at locations where roadways were historically platted to the shoreline.Canoe rack rental spaces are <br /> available at Summit Park on Long Lake to Orono residents on a first-come first-served basis. <br /> Orono is home to 5 commercial marinas providing in aggregate a total of more than 450 rental slips. <br /> Additionally,public landings on North Arm and Maxwell Bay in Orono provide approximately 150 car-trailer <br /> parking spaces for transient boaters. <br /> City of Orono -Municipal Offices <br /> Street Address: Mailing Address: <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway www.ci.orono.mn.us P.O.
