WATER STRUCTURES <br /> A. Mark Prueter& Rich Anderson, consideration of permanent dock license (residential) application <br /> and 2006-2007 deicing application for the residences at 3205 and 3215 Crystal Bay Road in the <br /> City of Orono. <br /> Skramstad asked Harper to provide background on the agenda item. <br /> Harper reviewed the staff memo, dated 10/20/06, which summarized these applications. If the <br /> Board believed the applicants could continue to qualify for a deicing license, he recommended <br /> approval of both applications with a number of conditions. These conditions included: 1) all <br /> deicing activity must comply with LMCD deicing requirements (including all deicing activity and <br /> fencing must be contained within the authorized deicing area), 2) the west portion of the existing <br /> dock must be removed to meet the 15' setback prior to any deicing activity, 3) all watercraft stored <br /> at the combined site must comply with current and future LMCD ordinances, 4) if agreement to <br /> maintain a common dock is taken away by either property owner, portions of the permanent dock <br /> must be removetl and each property owner must meet their specific dock use area requirements <br /> for each individual lot, 5) boat storage at the combined site can only be for private, non-commercial <br /> use of the site owners, and 6) only one dock structure may be combined on the combined tlock <br /> use area. He entertained questions and comments from the Board. <br /> MOTION: Van Hercke moved, McDermott seconded to approve the Prueter/Anderson <br /> permanent dock license (residential) and 2006-2007 deicing applications for the <br /> residences at 3205 and 3215 Crystal Bay Road as submitted, with the <br /> recommendations made by Harper. <br /> Seuntjens stated that he believed there were two decisions for the Board to make. First, part of <br /> the dock was already installed and he preferred that applications should be made and approved by <br /> the LMCD in advance, not after the fact. Second, part of the dock was for a future expansion and <br /> he questioned whether approving it at this time was appropriate. <br /> Babcock stated he was not troubled with the applicants requesting Board approval of a future <br /> expansion of the proposed permanent dock. He proposed a friendly amendment that the <br /> applicants maintain a one-time letter on file in the LMCD office that: 1) the two property owners <br /> agree to a combined dock, and 2) both property owners agree to provitle the LMCD access to the <br /> combined dock. Van Hercke and McDermott agreed to this frientlly amendment. <br /> LeFevere stated that there were a couple reasons why the applications were brought forward to <br /> the Board. First, the proposed dock would comply with LMCD Code because of mutual consent <br /> arrangements between the two property owners and staff wanted to confirm the Board's comfort <br /> level on this. Second, this deicing facility was considered an eligible facility because it had <br /> previously deiced. However, the permanent dock would expand and LMCD staff wanted Boartl <br />
