A dock cauld be constructed to this � <br /> point without encroaching neighboring setbacks and <br /> without requiring any variance from City or LMCD <br /> standards, as indicated on Exhibit C. <br /> 16) Welsh' s dredging application requests a 4 foot water <br /> depth below elevation 928. 8 . Welsh' s soundings <br /> indicate that a 120 to 150 foot long dock would <br /> also provide 4 feet of water depth without requiring <br /> dredging, as indicated on Exhibit C. <br /> 17) A 150 foot lonq dock as indicated on Exhibi t C would <br /> require a length variance from the City and LMCD, . <br />,� but could be constructed without encroaching neighboring <br /> \ setback requirements, and because of its location within <br /> 35 feet of the existing wetland point, a 150 f�ot lonq <br /> dock� would not encroach normal navigational lanes, nor. <br /> would it constitute a distinct visual encroachment into <br />� the lake as it might along a straighter shoreline. � <br /> 18) The stated policy of the City of Orono (1981 CMP page � <br /> 3-21, Exhibit D) is that granting of a dock length <br /> . variance where necessary is preferrable to any form of <br /> , lake bed dredging. <br /> 19) Consistent with the City' s written Comprehensive <br /> Planning policies, Minnesota DNR regulation - <br /> 1 .5022 AI "discourages" lake bed excavation "where <br /> it is intended to gain access to navigable water <br /> depths when such access .can be reasonable attained <br /> by utilizing a temporary or permanent dock" , and , <br /> regulation 1 .5022B1c states that ."the proposed � <br /> project must represent the 'minimal impact' solution y <br /> to a specific need" . ; <br /> 20) In June 1982, Minnesota DNR Regional Hydrologist, Kent � <br /> Lokkesmoe, stated to City Planner Olson, that DNR � <br /> regulations were written with the intent of providing <br /> 4 ways to exercise navigational access rights, and that: <br /> a) filling has more adverse impact than dredging <br /> • � b) dredging has more adverse impact than a permanent dock � <br /> c) a permanent dock has more adverse impact than a � <br /> seasonal dock � � <br /> , <br /> 6 of .1� � <br />
