§ 10.41 <br />SEC. 10.41. B-2 LAKESHORE BUSINESS DISTRICT. <br />Subd. 1. Purpose. The ''B-2" Lakeshore Business District was originally intended <br />to provide areas where limited commercial businesses could be located to service boats used for <br />recreational purposes on Lake Minnetonka. However, many of the operators of the lakeshore <br />businesses have stripped the trees and vegetation from the shorelands and have expanded the <br />operations so that now the "B-2" Lakeshore Business Districts adversely affect the lake water <br />quality and the real estate values of adjoining properties. The purpose of this Chapter is to provide <br />regiilation of these businesses in a manner that will insure protection of adjacent residential <br />properties which have previously suffered from the unregulated expansion of commercial activities, <br />while protecting and enhancing the quality of the lake and shoreland environment. <br />Subd. 2. Definitions. <br />A. "Marina Business" means engaging in one or more of the permitted, <br />accessory or conditional uses allowed within the B-2 Lakeshore Business District. <br />B. "Charter Boat" is a watercraft carrying passengers for hire on Lake <br />Minnetonka and which is required to hold a Certificate of Registration from the LMCD. <br />Subd. 3. License Required. Each marina business within the "B-2" Lakeshore <br />Business District shall obtain an annual marina business license per the provisions of the Orono <br />Municipal Code. <br />Subd. 4. Application. All applications for a building permit within the "B-2" <br />Lakeshore Business District shall be reviewed by the Council and may be referred to the Planning <br />Commission and/or a specially appointed Lake Use Committee for review. <br />Subd. 5. Permitted Uses. Within the "B-2" Lakeshore Business District, no land or <br />structure shall be used except for one or more of the following uses: <br />A. Rental of in-water boat slips. <br />B. Sales of boats, motors, trailers and marine accessories. <br />C. Repair and servicing of boats. <br />D. On-land storage of boats, winter and summer. <br />E. Marine fuel sales. <br />F.
