Weinberger stated this application has appeared before the Planning Commission on a couple of occasions where no action was taken due to the absence of the Applicant. The Applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to permit a 14 foot extension to an existing dock. The dock is located in Lake Minnetonka and would fail under the jurisdiction of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. A permit was issued for the dock by the LMCO In June, 1999. The LMCO has reviewed the permit request with the Hennepin County Sheriffs Water Patrol and has determined the permit issued for the dock will not create navigational problems In the cove. It is believed this dock has existed as a permanent dock prior to 1983, with the first permit being issued in 1983. Weinberger stated a large boat may pose a problem due to less distance than what was originally thought between the proposed dock extension and the opposite shoreline, which is approximately 75 feet. Greg Nybeck, LMCO, has stated the Hennepin County Sheriffs Water Patrol has reviewed the matter of the proposed dock extension and has concluded the actual dock structure Page 1
