M STATE OF[MI[lS©Tr^L DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCESPHONE no.612/296-7523 1200 Warner Rd., St. Paul, MN. 55106 <br />FILE NO. <br />June 18, 1986 <br />Mr. William Ulrich <br />c/o: Bohn's Point Road <br />700 Shelard Plaza North <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55A26 <br />f <br />JUNI 91986 <br />RE; PERMIT 86-6287, RETAINING WALL/LAGOON EXCAV-^XON, <br />WEST CRYSTAL BAY, LAKE MINNETONKA 2^-133P <br />Dear Mr. Ulrich: <br />I have preliminarily reviewed the above referenced application and <br />have met with John Noble and Clifford Reep on-site. In addition, a <br />representative from DNR's section of Fisheries will be visiting the <br />site this week. <br />Several issues/questions have surfaced since your application was <br />submitted of which I would like to advise you. <br />1. A previous permit application (#80-6006) was submitted <br />by David Dunlap for the purpose of dredging the same <br />lagoon. Fisheries review at that time indicated ideal <br />largemouth bass spawning habitat. The permit was <br />limited, therefore, to excavation of the entrance of <br />the lagoon. Fisheries review this week will attempt to <br />prove or disprove the previous opinion. <br />2. DNR regulations limit the depth of dredging for <br />navigational channels from the shore (for recreational <br />watercraft) to 4 feet [Minn. Regs. 6115.0201, Subp. <br />4A]. Although greater depths have been authorized for <br />docking of keel boats, the navigability to the mooring <br />location was not an issue. <br />3. I am not aware of a permit issued for the existing <br />permanent dock. This application can include the <br />review of the dock in its existing configuration or, if <br />desired, in a redesigned version. <br />4. The approval of the retaining wall should not pose a <br />problem except that retaining wall permits require <br />title-registration. Mr. Reep is familiar with this <br />process. <br />- <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
