McMillan stated there is an <br />issue surrounding a piece of peninsula land located in the Mound area where the people inland <br />were under the assumption they had been deeded lake access rights. The parties have gone <br />through a considerable amount of litigation involving this matter, with the City of Mound <br />requesting to relocate those inland docks into existing fire lanes in an elTort to provide dock <br />access to the inland people. McMillan stated the fire lanes are very narrow in width, with a <br />maximum of 30 feet at most of the locations, which do not comply with the LMCD's setback <br />requirements for docks and would require a considerable number of variances. McMillan <br />stated the judge presiding over this case has told the City of Mound that if the LMCD agrees <br />with them on this issue, they may go ahead and locate the docks within the fire lanes. <br />McMillan expressed frustration over this process and the pressure being felt by the LMCD to <br />approve these docks. <br />McMillan stated the LMCD is also working on the Conversion of Use Ordinance, which would <br />convert commercial property, such as marinas, to allow for other options for redevelopment of <br />those areas in an eflbrt to bring them more into compliance with the LMCD’s I in 50 rule. <br />McMillan stated the LMCD did attempt to pass a 1 in 20 and a I in 25 rule for these areas, both <br />of which were denied. McMillan stated this issue is in limbo and will be voted on auain
