?• r Ft V. c- h •_ I r*; ?:-■ h . .. Natar Structures and Environment Committee January 11, 1992 Marina license at this l/il/92 meeting. Subseauent1y. upon advice of LMCD Attorney LeFevere, staff recommended an alterna tive to license revocation, the following option: to advise North Shore Drive Marina that the Board will consider any license application for 1992 incomplete unless it is accompanied by the required designation of transient and service' slips. Should North Shore Drive Marina proceed to do business in 1992 without a license, a citation will be issued. The executive director said the original staff recommenda tion for license revocation could result in the loss of the Marina's grandfathered status. Breneman said it is not reasonable to designate slips for service purposes because of the varying sizes of boats they service. Foster said it is important to have the service and tran sient slips designated at fixed locations so inspections can be made to assure compliance. Any otlier method would raise the possibility of renting more slips than the marina is licensed for. There was a discussion about whether North Shore Drive Marina has in the past, stored more watercraft in the lagoon than the eight they are licensed for. Penn asked if the Code requires slip designation. The executive director responded that it does and all other marinas on the lake are in compliance in this regard. Hurr indicated her willingness to look at the Marina’s documents with Grathwol and staff. Foster said in view of the disagreement on what has been dotie. that Breneman bring all of her related documents to the LMCD. It was agreed Grathwol, Hurr, Foster, staff and Breneman will meet after the boat show in late January. Breneman is to bring all of her court documents regarding boat storage. Brene man asked that she be shown the slip designations from the other marinas as mentioned earlier by the executive director. 3. Parris* Appeal to Nagel Variance Order.

Not all of the problems have been solved. Studies have begun and information accumulated on the three/four boat unlicensed docks, and 100’/200* licensed dock lengths. There is an ongoing study of wetlands. It is Grathwol*s understanding that the Hennepin Conserva tion District will supply LMCD with computerized shoreline maps of Lake Minnetonka wetlands to help in the wetlands study-
