Everyone suffers when tne <br />2.evel is low. It may be in such cases that some people 3*^st <br />cannot have a boat." <br />Jabbour stated that the area did receive much rainfall last <br />summer and that the lake level is up. He said, "I would like to <br />see the docks retracted as fast as the lake level rises." <br />Hurr stated that the LMCD has already determined that the <br />ipcoming season will again have a low lake level. She said, "We <br />have to establish a specific date, measure the level of the lake, <br />and use that measurement when considering dock extension <br />applications. It could be February, July or anytime in between. <br />However, I think it would place an undue hardship on marinas if <br />they are asked to retract doc.'s during a particular season as the <br />lake level changes." <br />Jabbour asked how much the lake level has risen since last <br />year. <br />Gaffron estimated that the lake level is uo approximately <br />one fooc and stated he would confirm that. <br />Hurr stated that the LMCD did not approach each city when it <br />was considering the low water level dock extensions for marinas. <br />Goetten suggested <br />considerations of the <br />establish. <br />that s-ich issues should be included in <br />Lake Use/Marina Committee the City may <br />Jabbour reiterated the Lakeside Marina dock in particular is <br />a major concern. <br />Hurr encouraged the City to establish a Marina Committee and <br />stated that she would coordinate the efforts of that Committee <br />with the LMCD. <br />Callahan stated that the letter to Me. Strommen should be <br />sent. He said, "The LMCD has the jurisdiction to allow docks to <br />extend as far as they see fit. I do not believe that there have <br />been any instances in t.he past where coordination between the <br />LMCD an the City fell apart. I believe the system has worked so <br />far. I do believe the City needs to establish a Marina Committee <br />to address concerns about licensing and land use issues." <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to <br />direct Staff to send a letter to the LMCD regarding its concerns <br />on the 1991 marina licensing, and to adopt Resolution #2930, <br />reguesting funding from the DMR to assist w\th the City's <br />adoption of a shoreland management ordinance.
