• 11. It should be understood by the applicant that the City of Orono is approving this application for a variance and excavation and dredging permit with great reservations given the fact that it is clear to the City of Orono that alternative methods of dry land storage may be available to the applicant which would allow for the rental of one dry land boat slip for each one lost in the water because of the low waters, that it is possible and probable that the level of Lake Minnetonka will soon increase back to the normal 929.4. 12. Nothing in this resolution in any way implies that North Star Marina, Inc.'is presently in compliance with the other provisions of the Orono Municipal Code relating to zoning and annual licensing of marinas. 13. This resolution reaffirms the granting of a permit for riprap to the applicant. Nothing in this permit shall be deemed to imply that it is necessary for the appli- cant to have a three foot water depth or a depth of water sufficient to utilize all boat slips that he presently has in order to insure that the applicant has a reasonable riparian use of the lake. The City Council specifically finds at this time that the applicant presently is overusing the riparian rights of the premises by having 95 water slips in Lake Minnetonka. • 14. Nothing in this resolution obviates the need for the applicant to obtain all permits necessary from other govern- mental bodies having jurisdiction over the dredging including but not limited to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Natural Resources, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 15. Variances are hereby granted to Ordinance 31.700, 31.830, 35.174 and Ordinance 194, the Moratorium Ordinance of the Orono Municipal Code, which variances are granted subject to and contingent upon the applicant's fulfilling the require- ments of this resolution. This resolution formally sets forth the findings of fact made by the City Council at its meeting of August 8, 1977, and was adopted by a vote of 3 ayes and 0 nays.
