She noted the Applicant will be asked to have a conversation <br />with the District at the time of the City’s permitting when the dock is installed. <br /> <br />Libby recommends that it be added to the conditions of the approval to review any aspects of <br />environmental affect. <br /> <br />Curtis clarified that will be done at the time of permitting. <br /> <br />Libby responded that it makes him feel more comfortable. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 6:23 p.m. There were no public comments. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 6:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Kirchner asked about the de-icing. <br /> <br />Mr. Wischmeier, 110 Sunrise Avenue, Tonka Bay, noted he does not need a de-icing permit as he owns <br />the Caribbean Marina across the bay and runs icebreaking boats to protect the permanent docks at the <br />marina.
