There are other permanent docks in the area, and � <br /> they have not been a problem. <br /> Staff is advised by the LMCD that they will be issuing an LMCD permit for this permanent dock, <br /> and have no specific issues with it. <br /> The DNR is notified of floodplain CUF applications, and is given the opportunity to comment. <br /> No comments from the DNR have been received for this application. Potential DNR concerns <br /> would be whether the work is in a sensitive habitat or spawning� area, and whether the <br /> permanent dock might affect navigation or winter vehicular traffic on the lake. Neither of these <br /> issues are apparent with this application. <br /> Orono's concurrent jurisdiction over permanent docks is primarily via the City's floodplain . <br /> regulations, which provide no significant standards pertinent to the approval of permanent <br /> docks. Both permanent and seasonal docks fall under the zoning category of accessory <br /> structures, so with the exception of the RS District, one cannot have a permanent or seasonal <br /> dock without a principal residence structure. <br /> There are no specific Building Code construction standards for docks. The City will require that <br /> a building permit be issued to document the existence and construction of the permanent dock. <br /> Staff Recommendation . <br /> Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for construction of the proposed <br /> permanent dock subject to the following conditions: <br /> 1. The dock shall be allowed as long as it continues to be permitted by the LMCD and DNR <br /> and is in conformity with the rules and regulations of those agencies. � <br /> 2. Future replacement or alteration of the dock will require a new conditional use permit <br /> from the City of Orono. <br />
