Water Strucl.urea & linvj.ronmoiiL Committee April 7, 1990 Maxwell Bay Couditions: Dunn stated the water depth at Boy Scout Bridge is 6". Hennepin County wiiJ place danger buoys at both channel ends. Noeronberg Channel is about 5’ deep with rock obstructions whicli llonnopiii County will remove. Low water has changed the water conditions in the area, in effect moving the bay out .3d0’ from shore in Dunn's view. Travel Well Pit: Dunn has applied for a permit to dredge a 30' wide cliannel GUO’ to his deep well. He offered to do this in conjunction with Gayle’s Marina. Affect on Neighbors. Dunn described the shoreline usage from Gayle's Marina through the North Shore Drive Marina area. The area between Lakeside Properties Marina and Gayle’s Marina is residential property. He has talked to the North Shore Drive Marina owners who offered no objection. He is aware of the objection by the residential owner immediately to the east. Dunn owns two 50" parcels of tiie COO’ between his marina and Gayle’s Marina. The LMCD has received a letter 4/6 from Gayle Wittig, Gayle’s Marina, objecting to the e.xtension proposal. Other. Pillsbury asked whether Dunn will offer 24-hour emergency service. Dunn responded he will discuss it with the Water Patrol for need before making a commitment. Reese moved, Pillsbury seconded, to recoi,imend approval of a temporary low w.ater vari.mce to 000' from the 929.4 ’ shoreline with use •.'! floating docks in the exact siime .configuration as the permanent docks. Reese expressed hi:j oplnliui th.at .'ill marinas should be encourageil as there is no benefit to Llie Lake in having the marinas closed up. Glocum would like to consider this unusual length in con .nine tivin with a discus.sion with Gayle’s Marina. Grathwol noted Gayle’s Marina has been given notice of this application. Lewman suggested i statute may be necessary to put a maximum on dock extension lengths. Tlio motion to recommend approval carried unanimously. It is noted Martinson left during the discussion. 3. Priorities Item Assessments Grathwol submitted an outline of items to be studied including: 1. Authorised DUA was discussed, with examples of resolving over-lap conflicts by use of bisecting angles and cords. Flip chart illustrations were demonstrated. It was further suggested that shoreline counts using artificial breakwaters be eliminated. 2. GhoreLitie reciuiremeiits used to determine density is presently difficult to enforce since watercraft ownership is hard to determine. Tliat is expected to improve when the watercraft titling law goes into effect 1/1/91. The extent to which wetlands are included must be resolved by getting an accurate inventory. Committee Chair Grathwol reminded the executive director of tho need to .surve,v the cities for this information. 3. Requirements for special density licenses relating to amenities was deferred pending suo-committee Hurr’s return to activate this study.
