Your residential site <br /> 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 pursue a course of education and <br /> voluntary compliance for all sites so identified. The intent of this letter is to provide you with <br /> relevant and current information to allow you to assess your dock and watercraft storage <br /> configuration, and to take steps to bring them into compfiance, if necessary, during the 2011 <br /> boating season and beyond. <br /> Your location was identified as one that had five or more restricted watercraft stored at vour <br /> site at the time it was inspected. In order to legally store the same number of restricted <br /> watercraft that you had in 2010, a multiple dock license would be required. LMCD staff would <br /> be happy to discuss the possibility of obtaining a multiple dock license for your site. If it is <br /> determined that you do not qualify for a multiple dock license, you will be told the reasons why <br /> and will be asked to reduce the number of watercraft being stored at your site in 2011 and <br /> beyond. <br /> The LMCD website and staff are resources you can use to help answer any questions you <br /> have about the Ordinance details or the voluntary compliance process. Chapter 2 of the <br /> LMCD Code, "Regulations of Strutitures within the Lake," is the relevant Chapter in answering <br /> those questions. To assist you, copies of various sections of this Chapter are enclosed for <br /> your review, which can also be found on the LMCD web site at ntcp�iiWWw im�d or9ipaqe�cnapcer�n�m. <br /> The following is offered to help summarize the 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 is defined as a <br /> boat or vessel that is: <br /> 1) 16' or less in length and unmotorized; or <br /> 1) 16' or less in length and which uses a motor of 10 horsepower or less; or <br /> 2) 20' or less in length and unmotorized, and propelled solely by human power. <br /> �� . , <br /> � � �, � . ._. � ,... ; _ i ° F� n'�� i <<1�1+: .��� � ., <br /> . .
