Tne Outlet is accessed via a walking <br />easement across the east 25' of the lakeshore property at 3260 Bohn’s Point:. r.e. <br />Background <br />The preliminary plat ofBohn’s Point Addition was approved by the City Council in April 1965 “subject <br />to (City) attorney’s accqrtance of outlet agreement’’, and the final plat was approved in July 1965 “subject <br />to the condition that approval of the plat is not a representation that a license will be approved for joint use <br />of the outlet or that a Dock License would be granted.’’ When the time came that all three inland lots were <br />developed, it appears likely that noneofthe new property owners realized thataCityofOrono joint use <br />dock license was then required. A shared dock has existed at this site for many years, but i ts status as a <br />shared dock on an outlot only came to the attention of staffa few years ago. Available City aiiphotos from <br />1975,1989,1994 and2000 confirm the existence ofadodc either in the water or stored on shore in those <br />yean (aerial (dwtos are usually taken during spring or fell leaf-offccmditions when seasonal docks are out <br />of the water). The current property owners at the urging ofstaffhave agreed to apply for formal approval <br />for the joint use dock, bringing it into compliance with City and LMCD codes.
