He stated that a dredging permit was issued to Mr. I fork a few years ago. Mr. Hork proceeded to go out into the lake and cut a big slot out creating a natural hazard to the Courtney property. They had to restrict children from this area. Over the past few years, things have been silting in again. All the muck has gone down around the bay. He has been removing much debris from the water which he feels is caused by boats coming in and out of the area. He is against any dredging beyond the lakeshore because of the muck hole \diich exists now. He feels that dredging is not the answer and that Mr. Hork has built up a marina that is too big for the area. Mr. Olson informed the Comnission that the city engineer has submitted his approval subject to: 1. 2. Those areas of shoreline that are unprotected from erosion should be protected through riprapping, seawall construction or other approved methods. ^ Dredging spoils should not be disposed on site, as runotr will carry the silt back into the lake. This presents a question because the applicant has proposed to dispose o£ soine of the spoils in an area where the dry stac storage has been placed. Mr. Emmings stated that it is now his understanding that the spoils will be barged out of the ares. Ron Ifeirnack of the CNR, at the request of the Planning Commission, remained for discussion of tliis item. He stated thiat if the DNR can show that there is a definite problem associated witli any dredging, it will be looked at in that respect. The initial excavation on this project was between a depth of 6-8 ft. Now the ENR is authorizing to dredge to a depth of 4 ft. It stills leaves ft. of organic sediment vdiich has washed into that area. It is not a firm bottom any more. The dredging is not a fact that is causing it to drift, liow-cver. Tlie activity witliin tlie marina has been the cause of this. It is also his feeling that tlie lakeshore *ui this area was destroyed when the marina was built and not as a result of any dredging. Mr. Ilarnack stated that lie lias visited the marinas in this area along with the adjoining properties. Although he can sympathize with these residents,and the existing conditions, he stated that this situation is not occurring because of the excavation itself. Mr. Renner responded that there was no problem in this area before the iiiitial dredging. The water was then clear. NORTH SIDRE DRIVE MARINA (continued) (#293) * ^ ABrs'’- til Chairwoman McDonald stated tliat she liad contacted someone in the Fisheries Department on the dredging. She was informed that if they had been asked, they would liave been liappy to come out and look at it as a spawning area. If they felt it was, tliey probably liave recommended to the DNR to deny tlie maintenance dredging. Ron Ilarnack replied tJiat the Fisheries Department had l^ked at the project. Their recommendation was tliat tlie boating activity in tliat area was destroying the water quality. f ••• y- ir b % s i| i. • I MINUTES OF A PLA After a lengthy Hurr seconded, t cation condition from the area by engineer’s appro line is disturbe (1) McDonald.
