L <br />II. COURSE OF ACTION (Cont.) <br />I recotiinend that the Council commence an action to rezone the subject <br />property from B-2, Lakeshore Business District, to LR-IA, One Family <br />Lakeshore Residential District, <br />I recoimend that the Council thereafter deny the 1979 Commercial <br />Dock License application of George R. Johnson and that the Council <br />deny any and all applications for conmerclal development on the <br />subject property. <br />I recommend that the Council deny continued use of the property for <br />commercial purposes Including on-land storage and In-lake dock <br />construction and that the Council Institute condemnation procedures <br />for the existing unsafe dock structures finding, as the Council <br />did In the 1978 Dock License Resolution No. 971, that such structures <br />pose an Immediate hazard to public health and safety. <br />I recommend that the Council (and staff) continue study of the <br />Stubbs Bay Moratorium Area In regard to the other Issues of sewage <br />treatment and disposal, flooding hazards, housing deterioration, <br />crowding and the need for future public expenditures to alleviate <br />such conditions. Such study Is Intended to be completed prior to <br />the end of the current Moratorium expiring on July 31, 1979, with <br />the findings and conclusions of such studies to be Incorporated <br />in the current review of the Comprehensive Plan of the City, <br />III. SUGGESTED FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF THIS RECOMMENDATION <br />These findings are not considered to be a complete list but are only <br />representative of the detailed findings which would be incorporated <br />In a final resolution of the City Council. <br />1.The Council confirms the findings and conclusions of the 1974 <br />Comprehensive Guide Plan regarding the paramount objectives of <br />a) the preservation of the quality of Lake Minnetonka as a <br />unique, yet fragile ecological and recreational asset and <br />b) the maintenance of low-density rural land use policies as <br />opposed to urban development which development often results <br />in increased public and private costs while serving to benefit <br />a limited number of developer/land owners to the detriment of <br />the citizens in general. <br />2.The Council acknowledges that, while the findings and conclusions <br />of the 1974 Comprehensive Guide Plan were and still are valid, <br />the designation of the subject property for commercial use was in <br />error and was unsupported by any logical planning or land use <br />criteria which error should now be corrected as part of the <br />overall Comprehensive Plan Review.
