DeVore IIiff & Associates, P.A. Americana Bank Building 5050 France Avenue South - Suite 240 Edina, MN 55410 Re: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Floyd 960 West Ferndale Road Wayzata, Minnesota Dear Kevin: I have your two letters dated July 17, 1997. It appears that there are some factual matters which we can clarify. I asked Mark Gronberg, the surveyor, to put some additional data on the dock layout previously sent. The new data is on the dock layout enclosed. As you can see, the new data shows that there is about 50 feet of shoreline. One dock accommodating 2 fairly large boats can fit within the ' dock use area' as specified in the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District ordinances. For your benefit, I enclose the pertinent portions of LMCD Ordinance Section 2 defining the allowable extent of a dock use area. In this case, the side setbacks required are 10 feet. The dock may extend out 60 feet in o the lake, except that room for navigability must be made for John Brooks, the lagoon user to the east. Consequently, the dock proposed does not extend the full 60 feet. Obviously you could reconfigure the dock and/or make the boat slips smaller to accommodate more , but smaller, boats rather than 2 large boats. I am somewhat perplexed about some of your legal conclusions. The law of municipal (City of Orono) road right of ways is quite well understood having been worked EB01;920054 1
