PLANNING <br />Administrator stated that as far as <br />aock usage, boat dockage and boat launching is <br />one issue. However, it is another issue if <br />Bomeone is going to allow someone to walk across <br />their lot. He explained that this private easement <br />would be forwarded to the City Attorney and would <br />go to the Council for their approval or denial. <br />Adams stated they originally had provided for <br />legal easements, but at the Commission's recommenda­ <br />tion they were removed. <br />The Commission discussed at length the fact that <br />Tim Adams was putting in a private easement which <br />would allow access to the lake for other property <br />owners. <br />Mr. Adams stated the easement is owned by the owner <br />of Lot 7 and that the dock will be at the end of <br />the 10 ft. easement. He added that they are trying <br />to do everything they can do to comply with the <br />Commission * s recommendations• <br />The Zoning Administrator stated the main reason <br />for denying an easement was to prevent dock use. <br />^ommissioner Hurr stated the Commission possibly <br />could consider a definition for motorized riparian <br />use and non-motorized riparian use. She added <br />that she is concerned about the usage of the lake <br />because to allow the private easements would be <br />granting non-lakeshore riparian rights. <br />Commissioner Hammerel commented that residents of <br />Orono who pay taxes here should have the right to <br />USB this lake. He added that many people come <br />from other areas and use Lake Minnetonka and <br />^B felt lake use should be restricted to those <br />who reside near it and pay taxes toward it. <br />Commissioner Hurr stated she has trouble with the <br />approval of the final plat because the applicant <br />is not indicating on the final plat the same <br />as had been the original intent. She was concerned <br />there would be no control to ensure the easement <br />would never be for motorized use. Mr. Adams <br />stated he would be happy to revise the plans so <br />the dock would not be adjacent to the easement. <br />O,ramissioner Hurr read the Planning Commission <br />minutes from the October 3, 1977 meeting which <br />stated in the preliminary plat approval there <br />could be no riparian access to the lake. <br />TIM ADAMS <br />FARM AT LONG LAKE <br />#358 <br />(con*t) <br />lit
