Purpose. <br />The RS seasonal recreational district is intended to provide a district which will allow a low- <br />density seasonal form of residential development or recreational activity on the three Lake <br />Minnetonka islands within the city. Big Island, Mahpiyata Island and Deering Island are totally <br />surrounded by water. Special problems exist because of their isolated location and because there is <br />no direct access by land or bridge. Transportation is difficult, dangerous and slow, especially in fall <br />or spring when the ice is forming or melting. Engineering, financial, administrative and practical <br />difficulties prevent servicing the islands with sewer or water utilities, garbage collection, or complete <br />police, fire, medical emergency or other municipal services. The islands have historically been used· <br />for summer cabins, camping spots, temporary boat landings and a disabled veterans' summer <br />camp. As long as this usage remains minimal, public health and safety is reasonably maintained. <br />But development forecasts indicate increasing pressures for more intensive usage that could easily <br />exceed the city's public service capabilities. For these reasons, the city's comprehensive plans have <br />long-established policies encouraging eventual public ownership of the islands as recreational <br />resources for general lake users. In addition, limited private seasonal recreational use would be <br />allowed to continue indefinitely, subject to strict conformance with special health and safety <br />standards. The RS district is established to implement these special planning policies. <br />(Code 1984, § 10.31(1)) <br />http://library.municode.com/print.aspx?h=&clientID=13094&HTMRequest=http%3a%2f... 3/13/2014
