Council directed staff to inspect the subject area. <br />Staff advised Council that there was indeed a potentiax threat to the <br />public safety and welfare in the unregulated use of these 20 foot wide <br />riparian tracts (see Exhibit F) given the limited area of the lagoon. Tno <br />original Registered Land Survey division (1954) created these tracts to <br />provide protected dco< use area for the homestead lots wihin that same <br />Registered Land Survev. The covenants dealing with the use of these tracts <br />have long expired (1955'. and four tracts are currently in the ownership of <br />non-adjacent land owners. <br />The City was introduced to this multiple dock area in 1979 in the <br />process of reviewing a lot area variance for a Robert Watson. It was an <br />application involving the common ownership of two tracts of lakcshore <br />properties. One was developed. tl»e other undeveloped. A condition of <br />approving that variance application was that both homestead lots on the <br />r.ainlake retain a lacccn tract for dock purposes. As a result, the current <br />owners of Tracts M s and K & L are the only legal or conforming users of <br />the riparian tracts. Tr.o original covenants established standards for the <br />use of these limited properties but they are no longer in effect and many <br />■would require variances to cur present code. <br />ttee had been attempting to deal 'with the six separate <br />'residential o'wners and" four non-adjacent owners, but <br />c come to any agreement because of the diverse owner- <br />' i''gai or •jnrcsoi*'/ed status of Tracts S & T, N & N, K <br />reVof the Norira Co.-mnittee advised each of the four <br />main legal status or recognition of their u.se of the <br />•.':.e Council before the cor.-.ittee could work with all <br />greed upon use o.*’ the iaccon area. <br />The Marina Commi <br />owners, two adjacent <br />found it impossible t <br />ship pattern and the : <br />t I. and E. The choir <br />owners of the need tc <br />riparian tracts from <br />six owners on a safe <br />Planning Commission -v.s arked to consider the following issues: <br />1. Can these tracts bo put to another reasonable use under the <br />present zoning? <br />2. were the hardships created by the ox^r.crs or duo to circumstances <br />unique to this p:opetty? <br />3. Is tlie current, use cf th.c property out of character with wh«. <br />surrounding iagocr. neighborhood? <br />4. Is there a safe level of use fo: »> 2C' -luc riparian lot.- <br />5. Should the (act that these ncn-conforming uses existed before <br />formal zoning have any bearing on the review - the City knew xn * 58 <br />that these troct.s voic not owned and l*y adjacent land owners.
