FILE#LA21-000071 <br /> 18 January 2022 <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> Permanent docks (i.e.those docks with permanent pilings which cannot be removed without IP <br /> heavy equipment) sometimes result in requests by property owners for winter de-icing,to avoid <br /> ice damage.The LMCVD regulates winter de-icing. The proposed dock will be located in a fairly <br /> well protected area, so the potential for ice damage or the need for de-icing is relatively <br /> minimal. There appear to be other permanent docks in the area, and the city has received no <br /> documented problems or issues. <br /> Another potential concern would be whether the work is in a sensitive habitat or spawning area, <br /> and whether the permanent dock might affect navigation or winter vehicular traffic on the lake. <br /> The LMCD is request additional information regarding the lake depth within the surrounding areas <br /> of the proposed permanent dock. LMCD will review the location to ensure the waterway is <br /> navigable in the lagoon area. The LMCD had commented that the dock shape and proposed <br /> location may change to ensure lake accessibility. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br /> property in a reasonable manner? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the CUP, if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br /> impacts created by the granting of the requested CUP? • <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for construction of the proposed <br /> permanent dock subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The dock may be allowed as long as it continues to be permitted by the LMCD and DNR <br /> and is in conformity with the rules and regulations of those agencies; and <br /> 2. The dock is not to be used for commercial purposes or rented. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A. Application <br /> Exhibit B. Survey and Aerial Images <br /> Exhibit C.
