Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator January 4, 1989 #1296 Merritt J. Peterson/Rick Stodola, 1895 Shadywood Road After-the-Fact Variance - Fourth Review by Council List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Applicant's Letter of 1/3/89 Exhibit B - Sections of LMCD Code Exhibit C - Sections of Municipal Code Exhibit D - Staff Memo Dated 10/23/88 Exhibit E - Map of Area Exhibit F - Staff Survey Sheet Exhibit G - Section Maps Exhibit H - Original Draft of Denial Resolution of Variance Application #1296 Review of Present Request - Per Exhibit A, the applicants have asked staff to re-schedule variance application #1296 before the Council. It was the applicants' understanding that prior to filing a lot line rearrangement subdivision, Council would first address the feasibility or acceptance of their proposal that would seek credit of the principal residence on the Tillotson property for a shared dock not to exceed four slips. The shared dock would be located on the Tillotson homestead lot, requiring in this case a lot line rearrangement as the existing Tillotson dock is located within the applicants' property. Tract F (review Exhibit E). The applicants would only proceed with the lot line rearrangement ,if Council concurred with applicants' findings that the LMCD and municipal ordinances do not specifically prohibit property owners from a shared dock use where a dock is located on a residence lot and the participating adjacent property does not contain a principal residence. The applicants ask the Council to consider an additional use for substandard, unbuildable lakeshore lots by allowing a joint use dock or multiple dock (depending upon the number of owners involved in the ownership of the two properties) that would seek the credit of the principal residence on an adjacent property. At an informal meeting with Bob Brown, the former executive director of the LMCD, Frank Mixa, former administrator of the LMCD, and Gene Strommen, current administrator of the LMCD, they concurred that there was nothing in their ordinances that would require a residence structure on the Peterson/Stodola property under a shared dock arrangement with the Tillotson property. Both properties would be limited to 2 slips. Per LMCD code Section 2.02, Subdivision 4, (review Exhibit B) at a dock where 3 or 4 restricted watercraft are stored, such watercraft must be owned and registered to the residents of the site. The LMCD would have to be advised of the shared dock use and of the registration of all boats maintained at this dock. It should be noted^ that if the dock was to contain just 2 slips, there would be no need to register the licenses or advise the LMCD of a shared dock condition.
