Zoning File #1285 Page 2 of 2 In review of Section 10.55, Subdivision 11, Subdivision 12, Sections C and D, and Subdivision 13 staff can easily make the following findings: 1. The placement of this permanent dock will have no adverse effect on the capacity of the f loodway or increase the flood heights of the Lake Minnetonka Watershed. 2. The proposed dock as constructed does not propose a danger to life and adjacent properties. 3. The proposed structure certainly appears to be consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Flood Plain Management Program for the area. Staff would suggest there are very few appropriate standards for the review of a permanent dock. It is interesting to note that the issue of navigation is not called out. The proposed dock will not inhibit navigation. If the Planning Commission has any other questions or standards they feel appropriate, please feel free to note them at the meeting. As with previous building permit applications for permanent docks, the City requires confirmation from the DNR that a permit application has been processed and approved. The City will not issue a building permit for the new dock until the DNR has completed their permit review. Please review Subdivision 14 that suggests certain conditions that may be attached to these Conditional Use Permits. If the Planning Commission can find an appropriate condition that would relate to the operation and placement of a permanent dock, please advise. Staff would suggest the following conditions for the approval of this Conditional Use Permit: 1. Prior to the City issuing a building permit for the permanent dock, the DNR permit must be finalized. 2. "he dock structure has been approved per the plans by Minnetonka Porti-ole Drudging entitled dock detail dated 5/5/88 sheet 1 of 1, any expansion or major alteration of this dock is subject to the review of the City of Orono. Additional Comments and Planning Commission Recommendation Planning Commission had no other comments concerning this review and recommended approval based on the staff recommendation noted abcve. The encolosed resolution has been drafted per the approval recommendation.
