The applicant has made certain improvements to the property since 1969 <br /> including a picnic pavilion and vault toilet facility (1972) and a private well <br /> (1985). Two additional storage structures are located within the property. The <br /> picnic pavilion is considered a legal nonconforming structure since it legally <br /> existed at its current location less than 75' from the shoreline prior to adoption <br /> of hardcover and 75' lakeshore requirements. <br /> 5. Section 10.31, Subd. 3(C-1) requires minimum of 5.0 acres dry buildable area <br /> for day use recreation area. The gross lot area of the property is approximately <br /> 9 acres, of which approximately 7.5 acres is considered dry buildable, thus <br /> meeting the minimum acreage requirement. <br /> 6. Section 10,31, Subd. 3(C-1) also requires a minimum "lot area-to-user" ratio of <br /> 1 acre per 20 users. Under that standard, the code would allow up to 150 users <br /> on the property at one time. All abutting adjacent land is owned by the Hennepin <br /> Parks, and there is no adjacent land available for acquisition by the applicant. . <br /> 7. The Minnetonka Power Squadron by-laws set no lunit on the number of <br /> members. The average number of inembers (family units) is 250 to 350. <br /> Therefore, the potential exists for the number of users at any given time to <br /> exceed 150. Because the Power Squadron is a nonprofit organization, it is <br /> technically exempt from the provisions of Municipal Code Section 5.25 requiring <br /> a license for shows and large assemblies in excess of 300 persons at one time. <br /> 8. Lot width at the shoreline exceeds 1,200', and meets the minimum lot width <br /> requirement of 200'. <br /> 9. Minnetonka Power Squadron has annually obtained a joint use dock license from <br /> the City and from the LMCD since 1969. The property contains approximately <br /> 2,250' of shoreline and has historically been licensed for the 45 transient slips this <br /> shoreline length would allow at a level of 1 slip per 50' of shoreline. <br /> 10. The Power Squadron's published rules for "Streater Cove" conf'uie swunming to <br /> the beach area, which is designated by buoys. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> Farm 5005 Disk Omno <br />
