Presumably the Council knew about the previous resolution and intentionally softened the language. I don't have anything to add other than I agree with your analysis. I would encourage everyone to sit down and figure out a solution.

From: Melanie Curtis Sent: Monday, March 8, 2021 9:25 AM To: Ron Olson <Rolson(a ci.orono.mn.us> Cc:Jeremy Barnhart<ibarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us> Subject: Dock Permit Request- File#LA21-000017 Ron As you are aware, the owners of 480 Big Island have made request for a permit to install a dock on city right-of-way on Big Island. Joe and Sara Thull are the owners of 480 Big Island and purchased the property in 7/2009. Their property is an internal lot without lake frontage. City Code 78-567 provides a mechanism for an inland lot to request a permit to install a dock on city right-of-way. Last year the Council also adopted an amendment to Section 82-255 in the subdivision chapter to permit lake access easements for inland properties in the RS district as an alternative avenue for access. Since the public notice went out I have been fielding a number of phone calls and recently emails from Big Island land owners regarding this permit request. Most/all oppose granting the permit for varying reasons. One owner who reached out, Mr. Tom Kolar, is the keeper of the informal Big Island directory. He reached out with questions, inquired about the 500 foot notification distance, and indicated that he could send the applicants' information packet to those on his directory. I said he has the option to do so. He sent an email (attached including Mr. Thull's submittal) last week to the eastern Big Island owners and indicated that I requested him to do so. I did not make that request. Additionally, the most affected and or adjacent property owners have reached out to me in the last week. The two owners abutting the right-of-way selected by the Thulls for the dock location and Mr. Bruntjen (& his partner Nancy Farnes) who currently has one of the two existing dock permits for the island. 1
