hr f . t Zoning Files #941, 1946 & #951 August 14, 1985 Page 2 of 5 Tracts R i O have contained docks since the early 60's. Each dock, as with the others, maintain a zero lot line setback. Both docks have had each one sail boat over 16 feet stored for the summer season. To my knowledge there has never been another boat kept at these docks. Tracts Q & P are the land tracts providing a parking space for each owner. Access to these tracts are via Dick Ogle's property to the south. b) Donald C. Cook Cook has owned Tract E, a riparian tract since 1979 or 1980. The tract was originally owned by an adjacent land owner and when the subject owner sold his homestead lot, the riparian tract was not included in the sale but sold independently to Cook. The covenants governing the special ownership combinations for the riparian tracts owned by adjacent land owners expired in January of 1965. Cook has maintainc-d 1 boat over 16 feet in length at the zero lot line dock since his ownership. Cook does not own the contiguous land Tract D. Dick Ogle owns Tract D. Cook effectively has no legal land access to his riparian tract. This should be resolved between the private parties. At present his only legal access to the tract would be via the public waters. The land tracts serve as off-street parking for 1 car. Cook would be allowed to park on County Road 19 and use an adjacent land tract to achieve land access but this is not an arrangement that neither the City would condone via the adjacent neighbors. If these non-conforming uses are to be approved by the City, there use inust in no way place any unnecessary hazards and risks in the use of the properties or create nuisances for the surrounding property owners or the general public. John Thimmesh Thimmesh is the current owner of recently combined Tracts S & T. This property remained with the original owner/developor's family until 1984. It was the request of a potential buyer to build a new dock that commenced this year long review process. Tract S has had a zero lot line dock for many years. The ipplicant asks if this property could bo owned jointly with another individual. 1 have explained that this review may establish limits on the use of these docks so that joint ownership is impractical. He understands our concern but also asks that the City consider that a non- adjacent owner could maintain 2 boats in trxcess of the 16 foot length and not encroach on adjacent dock areas or create hazards for navigation within lagoon. I suggested that the City would be wary of the potential to rent or lease the second slip and add to the parking congestion problems within the neighborhood. He advised that this was not his intention but that he had planned at some future date to acquire a collec'.or type boat in excess of 16 feet length. I advised Thimmesh to come back at that time to amend his original conditional use permit per Council approval.
