April 13,2000 <br />TO: Orono Planning Commission <br />FROM: Dick and Marlys Ogle <br />Richard and Sue Gay <br />Jim Zimmerman <br />2771 Shadywood Road <br />2735 Shadywood Road <br />2745 Shadywood Road <br />SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application for Ault and Ginther Agenda Item # 2571 <br />We have a number of specific concerns, issues and questions about the specific property in <br />question. We also have a number of issues and concerns about all of the non-conforming non ­ <br />resident dock lots that exist in our small residential neighborhood. <br />To understand the issues and concerns of the neighborhood residents it’s important to review <br />the history of the non-conforming dock lots in the neighborhood. That background and history <br />is as follows: <br />Origin of the Non-Conforming Dock Lots <br />The 20-foot lion-conforming boat dock lots were created specifically and'exclusively for <br />neighborhood residents. <br />Each non-conforming dock lot was tied to a specific neighborhood lot. The purpose of the <br />non-conforming dock lots was to provide docks to neighborhood homeowners not on the <br />lake, as well as to provide permanent docks to some of the home.)^vners on Carman’s Bay so <br />that they would not need to put temporary docks on Carman’s Bay. <br />Non-Resident Ownership <br />When the covenants of the neighborhood expired, a few of the residents sold ofif the non- <br />conforming dock lots to non-residents. <br />■ Over the years, a number of the non-conforming docks have been resold to other non ­ <br />residents. <br />Earlier city documents detail that there was an agreement that when docks were sold there <br />was a requirement that a 10-day written notice be provided to residents of the immediate <br />area. *rhis agreement was so residents in the neighborhood would have the opportunity to <br />purchase the non-conforming dock lots from die non-residents and return them to the <br />neighborhood use for which 9iey were intended. There is no record of any non-resident <br />oumer that sold their dock providing the agreed to 10 day written notice when they sold their <br />docks to other non-residents. <br />J
