VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> (#7) #2551 THOMAS MICHAEL RANDGAARD, 2765 SHADYWOOD ROAD - <br /> CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, 10:07 p.m. -10:30 p.m. <br /> Thomas Randgaard, Applicant, was not present. <br /> Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to permit a 14 foot <br /> extension to an existing dock. The dock is located in Lake Minnetonka and is under the <br /> jurisdiction of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. The LMCD approved the Applicant's <br /> permit in June, 1999. The LMCD permit indicates there is 120 feet between the permanent <br /> dock and the opposite shore. <br /> Weinberger indicated the permit for a permanent dock was issued in 1993. <br /> • City Staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit to permit a permanent dock <br /> extension of 14 feet, subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The Applicant maintains an active license with the LMCD. <br /> 2. The dock does not cause navigational problems or obstruct access within the channel. <br /> 3. Future replacement or alteration of the dock will require a new conditional use permit from <br /> the City of Orono. <br /> Weinberger stated there is nothing within the City's Code which prohibits docks from being <br /> located on a resident's property. <br /> Jim Zimmerman, 2745 Shadywood Road, stated he has sent a letter, along with Nick Ogle, <br /> to the City outlining their concerns regarding this application. Zimmerman expressed concerns <br /> regarding this dock application due to the use of this property as a party house and not a <br /> live-in residence. Zimmerman stated an extension to the dock will allow for increased boat <br /> traffic in the area, as well as the size of the boats being currently docked at this residence. <br /> Zimmerman stated in his view there does not exist 120 feet between the permanent dock and <br /> the opposite shore, and an extension to the dock would cause the channel to be narrowed <br /> even further, which causes concerns as it relates to the safe passage of boats through the <br /> channel. <br /> Zimmerman indicated this property currently has two docks located on the property, which is <br /> in violation of City Code. <br /> • If this application is to be approved, Zimmerman requested the following conditions be added. <br /> Page 21 <br />
