Also present: Rachel Thibaul^, Administrative Technician; Eugene Strommen, Executive Director. The meeting was called to order by Grathwol at 7:30 a.m. 1. District Mooring Field temporary Low Water Variance Wayzata Yacht Club. The age.nda called for consideration of a temporary low water variance application from the Wayzata Yacht Club (WYC) to relocate 3 moorings from Site 1 to Site 2 to reduce the impact of the 800’ extension on Site 1, to include internal mooring relocations within Site 1. , , Robert Albright, Vice Commodore, WYC, presented an amended application. The amended application is a compromise with neighbors and the City of Wayzata to meet the requirements of a Conditional Use Permit for the Club facility issued by the City. The CUP originally called .or all moorings to be within 400 of the shoreline. The City requires moving some moorings to within 600'of the shoreline for 1990. The present relocation would place six moorings at 450’ on Site 2, eight moorings at bUO on Site 1, and eight moorings along the eastern side of property. This should enable the WYC to retain its existing Lorings currently moored at 800 ’ . The locations include the swing of the boats. Albright also explained the do not allow a swing into the public access channel. The mooring field will have to be within 400’ of the shoreline in 1^91 thereafter. Albright said the WYC is not sure about the water depth in all reassigned locations. It may have to make some re assignments, or possibly eliminate some moorings,and thus oome members could lose their Club access to the Lake. , , .
