I# 11'. • •fv*' rl h‘ "%T-'m: 'r-ifcv- J#r' Pi' WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE July 11, 1992 Hurr noted the license approvals on Site I and Site 2 were based on there being a valid CUP with the City of Wayzata. MOTION: Hurr moved, Rascop seconded, to recommend approval of the revised plan for the Wayzata Yacht Club Site 2, conditioned on a valid CUP existing between the Yacht Club and the City of Wayzata, and subject to meeting all LMCD dock license Codes with no boat storage on the platform. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 4. Styrofoam in Dock Construction (Orono Ordinance) The committee received a copy of an ordinance proposed by the City of Orono prohibiting the use of non-encased styrofoam as a dock flotation device. Babcock suggested adding "including but not limited to" to the last line of Section 1. Items 1 and 5. Hurr and Rascop indicated an interest in adopting a similar ordinance. Grathwol said the LMCD should get the benefit of Orono*s public hearings before making a decision. Thibault reported white Bear Lake Conservation District has no ordinance, but it did establisli a policy requiring replacement of styrofoam docks over a period of time as a condition of ap proval for dock licenses. Hurr said she believes the I/l/-9^ date in the Orono Ordi nance is too soon. She would prefer a^longer period of time for the dock owners to comply. Babcock—arid Markus thought a three year conversion date would be reasonable with a restriction prohibiting use of non-encased styrofoam for new construction of structures on Lake Minnetonka. There was discussion of the use of styrofoam in other struc tures on the lake such as swimming platforms. The consensus of the committee is that styrofoam, unless encased, should be banned from the Lake. The City of Orono is to be forwarded a cony of this meet ing's minutes, recommending to the Board that LN CD favor banning non-encased styrofoam from the lake on anjy structures placed in the Lake. The committee further recommends the Board approve deletion of 3.a and 3.b in the Ordinance, keeping 3.c requiring elimination of non-encased styrofoam by 1/1/95. 5. Storage of Commercial Watercraft at Residential Sites (Green wood Ordinance) The committee received a copy of the City of Greenwood Ordinance prohibiting the storage of commercial watercraft in R-1 and R-2 residential districts. Babcock noted the Ordinance does not apply to rental oi private dock spaces. He also noted the Ordinance is basically limited to charter boats by the reference to the watercraft having its own captain and crew. .... Grathwol said this, again, uses the word commercial m a context different than t‘ 't used by the LMCD. The committee asked staff to forward copies of the Greenwood ordinance to the other cities and a.sk for their comments. 21- ■'A-f-. .11. .J it ^ a* IkaAfa*• -_. •*
