Weinberger stated 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 is under the jurisdiction of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. The LMCD approved the Applicant's permit in June, 1999. The LMCD permit indicates there is 120 feet between the permanent dock and the opposite shore. Weinberger indicated the permit for a permanent dock was issued in 1993. City Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit to permit a permanent dock extension of 14 feet, subject to the following conditions: 1. The Applicant maintains an active license with the LMCD. 2. The dock does not cause navigational problems or obstruct access within the channel. 3. Future replacement or alteration of the dock will require a new conditional use permit from the City of Orono. Weinberger stated there is nothing v^hin the City's Code which prohibits docks from being located on a resident's property. Jim Zimmerman, 2745 Shadywood Road, stated he has sent a letter, along with Nick Ogle, to the City outlining their concerns regarding this application. Zimmerman expressed concerns regarding this dock application due to the use of this property as a party house and not a live-in residence. Zimmerman stated an extension to the dock will allow for increased boat traffic in the area, as well as the size of the boats being currently docked at this residence. Zimmerman stated in his view there does not exist 120 foet between the permanent dock and the opoosite shore, and an extension to the dock vw>uld cause the channel tc be narrowed even further, which causes concerns as it relates to the safe passage of boats through the channel. Zimmerman indicated this property currently has two docks located on the properly, which is in violation of City Code. If this application is to be approved, Zimmerman requested the following conditions be added. Page 21
