Kelly Cove Joint Use Dock July 23. 1998 Page 2 The request has merit and might be considered for approval under the following scenario: 1.Owner of Lot 3, Navarre Cove (Mo> t) must agree via covenant to a limit of two boats for a single family residence on Lot 3. and formally gives up the rights to ha\e a duplex on the property. Outlot A. Navarre Cove and Lot 3 must then be legally combined, and KCHA's interests in Outlot A and Lot 3 must be extinguished. 2.KCI lA must agree via covenant to limit the new docks to no more than 4 slips of a size (width and length) no greater than the existing slips, and in a compact and defined location and configuration. Council directed staff to schedule a public hearing on this matter and notify the neighboring lakeshore property owners. StafThas sent mailed notice to all property owners abutting the lagoon. Existing and Proposed Dock Layout The existing dock system contains 3 docks with slips on either side for a total of 6 slips. The City and LMCD permits have formally allowed a dock length of 44' since 1993 (increased from 25' during the late '80s drought). The docks are separated by 22' and 28' respectively such that the interior slips (2-3-4-S as shown on Exh. E-1 of the June 17 memo) could potentially accommodate boats of 10-12' beam. The proposed new KCI IA slips are 32' deep and 13' wide, and start approximately 24' from the shore, with a single access walkway from shore. The new dock system is proposed to extend from just west of the midpoint of Kelly Cove Outlot A, more or less centered on the KCHA site. Staff is advised that some neighboring property owners may request that the dock system be redesigned or relocated to have less impact on lagoon traffic. The owner of Lot 3 has not indicated how a dock system would be configured to serve a single fa*'aily residence on Lot 3. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The conditions under w hich Council suggested this new joint use dock license might be approved appear to be consistent w ith the Orono Comprehensive Plan General Land Use Policies (CMP 4-13, item 5) which states: "5.PROTECTION OF LAKE RESOURCES WILL ALLOW RE.ASONABLE ACCESS. USE AND ENJOYMENT WHILE PREVENTING OVERCROWDING AND EXCESSIVE ENCROACHMENT. In conformance with MnDNR Shoreline Management regulations for recreational development lakes, Orono will prohibit overly dense development within 1,000
