The int.erim ordinance was presented to the Water Structures & Environment Committ-se at its October 14 meeting. Chair Cochran agreed that the ordinance will require further study, and asked Grathwol, who was appointed chair of the Water Structures & Environment Committee at tae October 25 Board meeting, to pursue further study of this iriterim ordinance. The study group meeting at this time reached a consensus for recommendation to the Water :structures & Environment Committee consisting of the following: 1. An ordinancF change should be prepared to remove Type 3 and higher wetlands from any cjn�:iderat.)n toward shoreline footage requirement applicable to watercraft storage, provided a right -to -access is protected. (See attach- ment for Wetland definition and types.) 2. Consider an ordin- which would prohibit docks which would create a condo- minium dock over t ater. 3. The Water Structures & Environment Committee should consider amending the proposed interim ordinance to accept land -zoned single family residential which must meet the 1.50 requirements for watercraft wider the existing ordinance, provided wetlands of Type 3 and hig;ier are not included i the computation of the lakeshore. 4. Require that the interim ordinance be terminated after three years.
