Staff re­ <br />viewed that there was never a dock constructed on the <br />property and that the applicant contends that they are <br />unable to bring a boat into the area because of the shal­ <br />low waters in the area. <br />McDonald stated that everyone is having problems with the <br />lake being very low this year. She advises that the dis­ <br />turbing of the bottom of the lake will destroy the natural <br />wild life and the fish spawning in the area. <br />Bill Wear who was present for another application, stated <br />that he remembered dredging of the channel before and that <br />there was a dock at that time. <br />Jabbour stated that it was difficult to imagine that there <br />was a dock since there was no house. <br />9 <br />Frahm noted in the previous setback variance application <br />that Welsh submitted a letter stating that he would con­ <br />struct a dock meeting all the L.M.C.D's requirements and <br />the Council's minutes reflected a forewarning to the ap­ <br />plicant about the possiblity of dredging. <br />McDonald asked how long a dock would have to be to bring <br />Mr. Welsh into navigable waters.
