LMUU Board ol' [li rect'jrs Maiv.-h i;8, 1990 k) Maxwoll Bay Marina Change of Ownership Dock License and Temporary how WaLer Variance Application The Board received an application from the Maxwell Day Marina for a new dock license with minor change: ownership, and a temporary low water variance application from 200’ to 400’, and a request to change permanent docks to floating docks. The committee recommended acceptance of the new dock license reflecting the change of ownership and recommends conceptual approval of the temporary low water variance with stipulations. Grathwol moved, Reese seconded, to approve the new dock license with a change of ownership and to consider the temporary low water variance application as a separate item. Motion carried unanimously. A neighbor of the marina spoke against a 400’ extension as being unreasonable. Chandler noted there are two nearby marinas. Approval of an extension to 400’ might encourage tlie others to ask for a similar extension. Foster suggested returning the request to committee after a thorough study with the neighboring marina operators and neighbors. (Jratliwol expressed concern about interference with a channel. David Carlson, representing the owner, James Dunn, said he has sighted the distance between Boy Gcout and Norenberg Channels and does not believe boats would have interference from their docks to pass through the channel. The neighboring marina operators, Gayles and North Ghore, registered no objections nor were they present, all owners within 500’ on Maxwell Bay being informed of the application. LeFevere stated that the neigliboring marinas do not have room to extend bo 400’. They could apply for a variance for a lateral move to sliare the available lake frontage. (Residential property owns 150’ of shoreline east of Gayles’s Marina) Approval of t)iis variance for Maxwell Bay Marina could result in giving all the available space to one marina. Cochran suggested reducing the dock extension to .300’. Grathwol moved. Foster seconded, to table the application for a te.mporary low water variance to the Water Structures committee. Motion carried unanimously. 1) 1990 dock license renewals Grathwol moved, Rascop seconded, approval of eight 1990 dock license renewals as recommended by the committee, including orders, stipulations and temporary extension, noting City certificates have been received or time expired for responses, as follows: Excelsior Bay Associates.
