Planning & Zoning Administrator March 10,1997 Subject: #2213 Jim Zimmerman, 2745 Shadywood Road - Conditional Use Permit - Public Hearing Zoning District: LR-IB Single Family Lakeshore Residential Application: Request for CUP for construction of permanent dock on Lake Minnetonka. % Pertinent Ordinance: Section 10.55, Subd 9(B-3): All permanent boat docks within the floodway require a conditional use permit. List of Exhibits: A - Application B - Plat Map C - Property Owners List D - Sur\'ey E - Dock Proposal F - DNR General Permit #97-6098 G - Letters from Neighboring Property Owners H - Section 10.55 Subd. 26/1961 Boathouse Permit / 1961 Council Minutes Summary of Request Applicant proposes to construct a f * - nf brat dock adjacent to his existing boathouse located in the lagoon area. No City permit lo > ;x : jck has previously been issued for this site, and City airphotos indicate no permanent dock . - - . in past years, although a few pilings exist adjacent to die entrance to the boathouse suggesting possibly a past seasonal dock. The proposed dock will extend from the boat house entrance parallel to the shoreline, with a connecting walkway back to shore (See Exhibit E). LMCD staff have indicated that their rules allow a maximum dock width of 6', and applicant has revised his original plan for a 10'x32' section down to 6'x32' parallel to the shore. This configuration appears appropriate given the orientation and layout of the boathouse, and given that the site is adjacent to a relatively narrow channel leading to the Narrows docks located just east of the property. Side setback is not an issue based on the site location. The potential for ice damage at this location is minimal due to the location in a protected lagoon. -i 5
