PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Section 2.01. Authorized Dock Use Area. Subd. 1. Prohibition. No person shall use any area of the Lake outside an authorized dock use area, for docks, moorings, watercraft storage, swimming floats, ski jump storage or diving towers, unless such use is specifically permitted under the provisions of this chapter. No person shall use any area of the Lake within any authorized dock use area for docks, moorings, watercraft storage, swimming floats, ski jump storage or diving towers without the consent of the riparian owner. No person who is in charge or control of any property on the Lake whether as owner, tenant, occupant, lessee, or otherwise, shall allow any sunken, wrecked, junked, or discarded watercraft to remain within any dock use area for a period of longer than one week; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to watercraft within the dock use area of a commercial establishment engaged in the business of repairing and rehabilitating watercraft which is so engaged with regard to such watercraft. Subd. 2. Description of Authorized Dock Use Area. An authorized dock use area is described as follows: a) Length - The authorized dock use area for sites bordering on the Lake extends into the Lake a distance equal to the site Lake frontage to be measured at right angles to the side site lines and, except as provided herein, shall not extend into the Lake a distance of greater than 200 feet in the case of commercial docks in existence on August 30, 1978, and 100 feet in the case of other docks to be measured on a line parallel to the site side lines as extended into the Lake. In the case of commercial docks in existence on August 30, 1978, the lakeward extension of the dock use area more than 100 feet from the shoreline shall be limited to the distance from shore of the docks in existence on said date and that portion of said docks more than 100 feet from the shoreline may not be altered or expanded. The authorized dock use areas for commercial marinas and yacht clubs in existence +m January 1, 21)14 arc exempt from the preceding; limitation of 100 feet for commercial (locks and may, where appropriates and so long as such extension does not interfere with navigation or other uses of the public waters extend into the Lake a distance no greater than 200 feet, in an effort to protect the littoral zones. Extending the length of the authorized dock use areas for these facilities will lessen the disturbance in these sensitive areas. A site in existence on February 5, 1970, which has a Lake frontage of 40 feet or more, but less than 60 feet, may have a dock extending up to 60 feet into the lake. Any such site which has a Lake frontage of less than 40 feet may have a dock which extends beyond the authorized dock use area to the point necessary to reach a water depth of four feet,measured from 929.4 feet NGVD, and no further; provided that no such dock shall be located or extended more than 60 feet into the Lake. Side setbacks requirements shall be observed, however, unless a variance is granted by the Board under Section 1.07. 7.
