Lindquist stated the Council did discuss the lake access points. Hawn inquired whether Gaffron has any inFormation concerning the September 10 Council meeting, noting Kluth did not attend the entire meeting. GafTron stated the boat storage issue was discussed. The Council eventually approved a maximum length of 30 feet for boats that can be stored outside w ithout screening and grandfathering in all boats that are presently stored outside that are longer than 30 feet. Hawn inquired how City Staff would be able to verify that. GafTron stated Staff has discussed that issue and are unsure at this time how to deal w ith that issue. The Council also appro\ed a tlve-foot lot line setback, with a IS-foot setback from any neighbor's house. The Council also approved the requirements for licensing, two years for restoration, and that the entire lakeshore lot should be available for boat storage. On a nonlakeshorc lot the Council approved a 20-foot or shorter boat to be stored in the front yard or driveway. The Council felt tnat a 44-foot length boat was too large to be stored on private property and went with a 30-foot maximum. Haw n inquired w hether the grandfathering of the boats goes with the property. Gaffron stated the grandfathering goes with the boat and not with the property. In addition, the Council also said they would like Staff to enforce this Ordinance only on complaint. PAGE 24
