CONE JUH 27 1� TO: Mayor Grabek Orono Council Members City Administrator Bernhardson FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator DATE: June 21, 1988 SUBJECT: Annual Joint Use Dock License, Big Island Veterans Camp LIST OF EXHIBITS: �J Exhibit A - 1988 Joint Use Dock License Application Exhibit B - Proposed Dock Layout Exhibit C - 1988 LMCD License Exhibit D - Proposed Resolution The Big Island Board of Governors have applied for a 1988 Joint Use Dock License in conjunction with their operation of the camp in 1988. The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District has licensed the Board of Governors for 2 docks, each with 4 slips, for a total of 8 slips for 1988. The dock plan submitted by the Board of Governors shows the 2 existing docks, and notes that for future use, they nay wish to construct additional docks as needed, up to a total of 28 slips. For 1988 they are initially requesting 4 transient (day use only) slips, and 4 permanent moorage slips, the permanent slips being located at the permanent dock. The existing permanent dock is 50' in length, the adjacent seasonal dock is 30' in length from the shoreline. The Joint Use Dock License submitted indicates that the proper insurance is in effect and the proper security and safety measures have been taken. The application in all respects appears to meet all applicable City requirements. Since the LMCD has licensed 8 slips for 96, staff recommends that the City also license 8 slips for 1988, noti, that the property contains adequate shoreline to support additional slips should tFe applicants request them in the future. Those future additional slips would be reviewed with the annual Joint Use Dock License application during the year they were proposed. Note that our standard format Joint Use License has contained the language "....and in accordance with resolution #938, in no case shall the number of authorized boat slips, lifts, or buoys exceed the number permitted in :_:ie prior years license." in reviewing Resolution 0938, the provisions of that resolution apply only to commercial units, and do not apply to joint users. Staff has been able to find no resolution or document that specifically limits expansion of a joint use dDck area when that expansion is allowable under LMCD shoreline length requirements. This anomaly in our license form was only discovered during the review of this application, since the camps ultimate request is for more slips than have eirer been previously licensed for the camp. riven the 6500' length of the shoreline claimed by the Vets Camp, the LMCD regulations would technically allow as many as 130 slips for this property based on the required 50' of shoreline per sliE-
