� . • l Cit� of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL • NO. 1291 • - • • The City Council specifically notes the followinc� areas of continuing non-compliance �hich individually ar.e cau�e for license denial and which in the opinion of the City are correctaY�le conditions which could be brought into full compliance caith Chapter 73 if the applicant so desi.red: 1. The 1980 Comm�.rcial Dock License application is incornplete and does not contain a plan of the dockage arrangement Lo be used in 1980. The appli�ant has been given numerous notices of this incomplete status and has failPd to supply the plan as required by Chapte:c 73 . 2. The 1379 license application of North Star Marina included a dockage plan (a 6-12�-78 survey by Gnrdon R. Coffin) showing piers and docks extending 345 f�, into Lake r�innetonka, 145 ft. farther than permitted by LMCD or City Ordinances, and also showing dockage ex-tending into required side set�ack areas established by LriCD and City Ordinance to protect the riparian rights of abutting residential prop�rties. 3. North Star Marina has shown no intention to eliminat� the • <�;;,ve �or�--campliance and continues to operate the docks in place as �ndicated on the 1979 plan (1978 survey) . 4 . The length of dockage is measured fram the normal high water mark of Lak.e Minneton�ka, elevation 929. 4 MSL, as established by the Ordinances of the City and the LMCD. In addition, North Star Marina has g�hysically defined the iocation of the shoreline by riprapping installed � under permit in 1978 . 5 . The 1980 Iicense applicatian of North Star Marina indicates a water depth of 4Z ft. at 200 ft. from the shor.eline and a water depth of only 4 ft. at 300 ft. from tr.e shoreline. Clearly, a dockage extensi.on of 200 ft. , i.n compliance with the City and LMCD Ordinances, is as navigable or more navigable than the existing non-complying 300 ft. extension. 6 . N�rth Star Marina continues in 1�80 to uae and to request commercial licensing for t�lree company boats on Crystal Bay even though the Crystal Bay property is residentially zoned, �these slips have not been licenser� by the City in the past, and even though North Sta.r Marina contends that this commercial use was phased out in past years. 7. The docks in place at North Star Marina are seasonal in natiare and are not pil_e driTaen. They could easily be rearranged to comply with all ordinance i:eauirem�nts. •
