Lake Minnetonka % Frank Mixa CITY of ORONO P(mt Office llox 660 Crystal Hay, Minnesota 5..5323 • Municipal Offices On the North ,Shore of Lake Minnetonka February 25, 1988 Conservation District 402 East Lake Street Wayzata, MN 55391 Re: trig Island Veteran's Camp Joint Use Dock License Dear ^rant-: This liter is to update you un the City's position regarding the Big Island Veteran's Crimp Joint Use Dock License. On May 12, 1986, the Orono City Council adopted Resolution i1988 which granted a conditional use permit to the Board of Governors allowing limited occupancy of the property during a clean-up program (which is still on -going) but did not allow public use of the camp. In addition, that resolution limiteu the camp to two permanent slips at the existing dock for the overnight mooring of two camp -owned boats. It was the intent of the City Council tc limit the public's access to the property until such time that hazardous conditions on the property have been eliminated and the appropriate use perm+ts for the camp operation have been granted. The clean up work has been on-goi,4. No Joint Use Dock License was issued by the City in 1961. It is our current understanding that the Board of Governors wishes tr open the camp for day camping and overnight tent camping as early as May let, 1988. However, no conditional use permit application for that use has been formally filed as of this writing, hence the currently approved use is merely week -end for overnight camping of work crews involved in the clean-up (and technically, that approval expired September 1st, 1986, although the same type of clean-up activity has continued through 1987 and into 1988). Note that the City of Orono has never approved a master plan for the veteran's Camp. For the above reasons, the City of Orono would object to the L.M.C.D.'s granting of a Joint Dock License to the Veteran's Camp for 8 boat slips until such time that the allowed degree of usage of the camp for 1988 has been resolved. m u tit. /tPONG 471 7157 • 411MMIS" %Tl(#% t FP%AN4'1 411' 1SN • PO NIX wO1RKS 4717359 AM &WW.
