3. The construction of a dock on Parcel B would interfere <br />with the Ferndale Road easement by intruding into the 10 foot <br />wide maintenance area needed by the City. <br />4. Lakeville may not rely on the letters from Ms. Mabusth <br />and Mr. Jacobs so as to now require the City to approve construction <br />of a dock on Parcel B. Neither letter unconditionally promises <br />Lakeville that a dock can be built on Parcel B. Each letter sets <br />forth requirements for obtaining permission to build a dock on <br />Parcel B or objections to the construction which Lakeville failed <br />to meet and still cannot meet. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Zoning Code <br />In the LR-IA District, a private dock is an accessory use. <br />See, Zoning Code Section 10.23, Subd. 5a. The Zoning Code defines <br />an accessory use or structure as “a use or structure subordinate to <br />and serving the principal use or structure on the same lo»- and <br />customarily incidental thereto." [:mphasis added.] See, Zoning <br />Code Section 10.02, 1. Further, Section 10.03, Subd. 9a of the Code <br />provides "no accessory building or structure shall be constructed <br />on any lot prior to the time of construction of the principal <br />building to which it is accessory." Reading these provisions to­ <br />gether, it is apparent that before constructing a dock on a lot <br />in the LR-IA District, one must construct a principal building on <br />the same lot. <br />Parcel B is a separate lot of record from Parcel A. Construction <br />by Lakeville or a subsequent owner of a residence on Parcel A will <br />not satisfy the requirement for construction of a principal structure <br />-5
