Iis Matsr Structures and Environment Committee January II, 1992 WATER STRUCTURES 1. Rockvan Boat Yards. Inc. - Request for policy rovioN to consider an amendinent to Site 2 dock length variance. Rockvam Boat Yards has two multiple dock licenses. l he one for Site i consists, in part. of a 169’ dock licensed for stor age of 10 watercraft, 5 on each side. Site 2 consists of an 18 slip dock wing which is attached to the Site 1 dock extending 128’ into the lake. Rockvam would like to move the wing out an additional 25’ to 153’. There would be no change in Site 1. Jerry Rockvam explained the reason for moving the dock wing further out is to improve use of a proposed make ready dock, to accommodate the fishing boats he rents as an amenity for the Site 2 Special Density license. He stated when the water level is at 929.49* elevation there would be no problem in using the make ready dock. If the water depth decreases to 928.6’, there would not be enough water depth at the make ready dock to service the fishing boacs. He is asking for tfiis review to determine whether ne should proceed with the variance application which carries a fee of $500. Foster asked if dredging would give him adequate depth. Rockvam responded that dredging the area would require construe— tion of a retaining wall as the shore is sand. Also, the dredged area will fill back in by the next year. Grathwol asked about building the make ready dock on the right side of the property where there is greater depth. This i^ould require a side setback variance but Grathwol would favor to a variance on the lake side. Rockvam does not want encroach on the residential setback. He also would prefer having the make ready dock next to the ramp and closer to the office. Foster and Hurr indicated they do not believe tf»e committee could vote a recommendation without an application. Foster suggested viewing the site before making any recom mendation. He volunteered to work with Rockvam and staff^ to consider alternate uses, upon receipt of the variance applica tion. 2.
