To: Prom: Date: Mayor Callahan and Orono City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & Zoning Administrator January 8, 1993 Subject: Joint Use Dock License - Nelson/Gage/Qarlson, 500 Tonkawa Road List of Exhibits A - Application B - Plat 1 Tawing C - Dock Layout D - LMCD License Review Documents E - LMCD License & n 7/lfo two the Summary Mr. Nelson has applied on behalf of himself and the adjacent property owners for a Joint Use Dock License for storage of up to 9 boats. Discussion The three properties involved include 460 Tonkawa Road (Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Gage), 500 Tonkawa Road (Dr. Glen and Marilyn Nelson) , and 550 Tonkawa Road (Mr. and Mrs. Curtis L. Carlson) . This seasonal dock located at the Nelson property provides slips for 6 boats and 3 water bikes. Mr. Nelson made the appropriate application after being advised of this requirement by LMCD. The three properties have a combined shoreline length of over 1200 feet, and certainly have the ability to maintain individual docks with up to 4 boats each. However, for the sake of efficiency and to decrease the visual impact as viewed from the lake, they have combined their use into a single dock. These are precisely rhe conditions under which the City should encourage the use of the joint use dock concept. The LMCD has issued a Multiple Dock and Mooring Area License to Dr. Nelson subject to obtaining a City of Orono Joint Use Dock License. I am advised that the Department of Natural Resources - Division of Waters will be issuing a Multiple Dock Permit. Documentation from both agencies is attached. Staff RacoflHDandation Finding that the request meet.^ the letter and intent of the current joint use dock licensing section, staff would recommend approval of a 1993 Joint Use Dock Liccuse for Nelson/Gage/Carlson at 500 Tonkawa Road per the attached resolution.
