Rascop secorl"d, to recommend apfiroval of <br />the revised plan for the Wayzata ^ .cht Club Site 2. conditiotied <br />on a valid CUP existing between the Yacht Club and the City of <br />Wayzata. and subject to meeting all LMCD dock license Codes with <br />no boat storage on the platform. <br />VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. <br />4. Styrofoam in Dock Construction (Orono Ordinance) <br />The committee received a copy of an orditiance proposed by <br />the City of Orono prohibiting the use of non-encased styrofoam as <br />a dock flotation device. Babcock suggested adding "including but <br />not limited to" to the last line of Section 1. Items I and 5. <br />Hurr and Rascop indicated an interest in nilopling a similar <br />ordinance. G r a t hwo1 said the LMCD should get the benelit of <br />Orono's public hearings before making a decision. <br />Thibault reported White Bear Lake Conservation District ha.s <br />no ordin.ince. but it did establisli a policy requiring replacement <br />of slvrofoam dock.s over a period of lime as a condition of ap­ <br />proval for dock licenses. <br />Hurr said she believes the 1/1/9J date in the Orono Ordi­ <br />nance is too soon. She would prefer a longer period of time for <br />the dock owners to comply. Babcock and Markus thought a three <br />year conversion date would be reasonable with a restriction <br />prohibiting use of tton-encased styrofoam for new construction of <br />structures on Lake Minnetonka. <br />There was discussion of the use of styrofoam in other struc­ <br />tures on the lake such as swimming platforms. The consensus of <br />the committee is that styrofoam, unless encased, should be banned <br />from the Lake. <br />The City of Orono is to be forwarded a copy of this meet­ <br />ing’s minutes, recommending to the Board that LMCD fav^or banning <br />non-encased styrofoam from the lake oji any st ructures placed in <br />the Lake. The committee further recommends the Board approve <br />deletion of 3.a and 3.b in the Ordinance, keeping 3.c requiring <br />elimination of non-encased styrofoam by 1/1/95. <br />5.
