d c�t� o� oR,oNo <br /> • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> '� No. lQ I �� <br /> C� <br /> . - . . <br /> ' e) Hennepin County Sheriff ' s water patrol information <br /> supplied to City staff and the Planning Commission <br /> iridicates that most Lake Minnetonka inboards and <br /> outboards can navigate in 3 feet of water, and � <br /> sailboats in 5-6 feet. <br /> f) During the summer and fall of 1981, Mr. We1sh ' s <br /> 1979 23 ' Sears inboard MN 8688EA was pulled up <br /> nose onto the shore in the area of the proposed <br /> dock, where his soundings indicate 2 feet of water. <br /> Therefore Mr. Welsh ' s own boat and own navigational <br /> , practices confirm that the existing water depth <br /> throughout 1981 was "navigable" . <br /> 12) We1sh' s stated purpose for dredging is that he wishes <br /> to install a short, permanent dock and does not wish <br />�\ to install a longer seasonal or permanent dock. Without <br /> 1 the requested dredging Welsh states he would need a <br /> 150 foot long dock to reach navigable water, and such <br /> a dock: <br />_� a) would need a variance from the City and LMCD <br /> b) would encroach on his neighbor' s setbacks <br /> c) would be a visible in�rusion on the lake <br /> d) would be a hazard to navigation <br /> e) would cause him inconvenience because he is <br /> handicapped <br /> 13) Welsh' s 1978 statements indicate he was planning a dock, <br /> but there is no, evidence provided that he has ever <br /> attempted to actually install a dock. <br /> 14) Welsh ' s 1931 �ractice o� bringinr, �ii� i�oa-c uo to thc <br /> shoreline indicates lze had navigable water deptiz a� <br /> the time he was requesting the dredging permits, and <br /> , indeed that this navigable depth extended right up to <br /> the shoreline. Therefore, his statements about <br /> requiring a 150 ft long dock to reach navigable water <br /> are clearlv erroneous and excessive. <br /> • ' <br /> 5 o f l r5'� � <br />
