LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT In Re; Application of Michael D. Revier 3 The appUcant in this case is Michael D. Revier. Mr. Revier seeks a variance to adjust his dock use area to allow construction of a dock and storage of boats at the subject property which is located at 2691 Ethel Avenue in the city of Orono. The property is located on Carinans Bay • This case also involves several .Ijacent and nearby properties. From the north, the first of these properUes is louited at 2684 Casco Point Road and is owned byMr.andMrs. David Runkle (the "Runkle Site"). The next property is owned by Mr. Michael Revier, the appUcant in this case (the 'Revier Site ). The next property to the south is owned by Mr. C. Gordon Amundson, 2697 Ethel Avenue (the "Amundson Site”). To the south of the Amundson Site, is a parcel owned by Mr. R. Kauffmann at 2696 Ethel Avenue (the "Kauffmann Site”). The Revier Site has approximately 26 feet of shoreUne at the ordinary high water level. The hardship asserted by the appUcant for the variance requested is that the extended lot Unes of the Revier Site converge as they enter the Uke and do not aUow a dock use area of a reasonable size or shape for the storage of watercraft. The board finds that this fact does constitute a hardship within the meaning of LMCD code section 1.07. The owner of tne Revier Site has a deeded right to construct a dock and store boats on the Amundson Site which has 15 feet of shoreline. The Amundson Site, by itself. Is not sufficiently large to allow reasonable construction of a dock or boat storage. The board also finds that this constitutes a hardship within the meaning of LMCD Cv'de section 1.07. If the Revier and Amundson Sites are considered together, the combined site would have 41 feet of shoreUne. However, because of the converging lot Unes, there is not sufficient room for reasonable dockage and boat storage even if the two parcels CLL6320X LKllO-4 1
