TO: FROM: DAIE: Planning Conmission and Comcil #24 C% Hank Muhich, Zoning Administrator March 16, 1977 SUBJECT: North Star Marina - 3324 North Shore Drive Conditional Use Permit and Riprap North Star Marina originally submitted plans for a building addition and seawall in 1975, The proposal was approved with several conditions. One being riprap rather than a seawall. The proposal was renewed in 1976. The low water level of the lake along with the erosion of silt through the years has created a problem for this year’s docking operations. The applicant is, therefore, requesting approval for the removal of the erosion and installation of riprap to protect against further erosion. He contends that this removal of silt is a shoreline maintenance project only. He has submitted several j^otos as evidence. The specifications for the project include removal of the silt from the property. Maps and specs are enclosed. I'm also enclosing copies of the Council minutes of Septenfcer 23, 1975. I don’t know the status of the docks that exceed the IMCD 200' limit. I believe LMCD has decided to enforce this limit this year, 1 don’t know if any of the marinas are objecting to this enforcement. Don Murphy of the Hennepin County Pii>lic Works Department just called me on March 15, 1977, to confiim their intent to cooperate to some extent on projected improvements along County Roads abutting marinas. County procedures involve T^re departments and more red tape before decisions are reached. PLANNING COhMISSION fCETING - March 21, 1977 Work Session item. Paul Kenpf was present. After reviewing his proposal, the Planning Comnission requested that the applicant submit a report fixmi the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District concerning the extent of build up of the eroded materi^. The applicant was forewarned that the only dredging that would be permitted was that portion that has eroded through the years. The Conmission also requested that the applicant submit a copy of the action taken by the LMCD at their mating this week regarding dock lengths. The Coimdssion reconmended that the City Engineer supervise this dredging. PLANNING CCMNnSSICN KEETING - April 4, 1977 Three parties representing nearby property owners were in attendance. They were especis'^ly concerned about the dredging and the affect this would have on the neighboring properties. It was suggested that the applicant include in his proposal consideraticxi of reducing the dock lengths to the 200’ LMCD regulation to justify the proposed dredging for docks that would be lost in the cut back. The applicant felt this was unjust and at present would not consider cutting back the docks. THk f r-
