Your residential <br /> site was identified as one that was potentially not in full compliance with one or more LMCD <br /> Ordinances. The LMCD Board of Directors has opted to initially pursue a course of education <br /> and voluntary compliance for all sites so identified. The intent of this letter is to provide you <br /> with relevant and current information to allow you to assess your dock and watercraft storage <br /> configuration, and to take steps to bring them into compliance, if necessary, during the 2011 <br /> boating season and beyond. <br /> Your location was identified as one that mav have had more restricted watercraft stored at vour <br /> site than what was allowed within vour dock use area (qlease refer to the first and third bullet <br /> points that are noted on qaqe two). The LMCD website and staff are resources you can use to <br /> help answer any questions you have about the Ordinance details or the voluntary compliance <br /> process. Chapter 2 of the LMCD Code, "Regulations of Structures within the Lake," is the <br /> relevant Chapter in answering those questions. To assist you, copies of various sections of <br /> this Chapter are enclosed for your review, which can also be found on the LMCD web site at <br /> http://www.lmcd.org/pages/Chapter2.htm. The following is offered to help summarize the <br /> general rules and regulations: <br /> What is a restricted watercraft? <br /> A restricted watercraft is defined as any boat or vessel for use on or stored on the public <br /> waters on the lake except for unrestricted watercraft. An unrestricted watercraft (Sec. 1 .02, <br /> Subd. 55c) is defined as a boat or vessel that is: <br /> 1) 16' or less in length and unmotorized; or <br /> 2) 16' or less in length and which uses a motor of 10 horsepower or less; or <br /> 3) 20' or less in length and unmotorized, and propelled solely by human power. <br /> Most personal watercraft (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or similar) would qualify as a restricted <br /> watercraft (due to horsepower). A sailboat longer than 16' (motorized or un-motorized) would <br /> also qualify as a restricted watercraft. <br /> ;�'�� V�Itb P ige Acirizes:; '�tC , � ��rw�v�._In,c�orc� a F_-m�il Address;Imc-cJ�«'In��cr�l_org <br /> � �,� ��„� To protect and preserve Lake Minnetonka. <br />
