<br /> To: . Melanie Curtis, Planning Coordinator
<br /> From: Mike Gaffron,Asst. City Administrator
<br /> Date: May 12, 2011
<br /> Subject: Dock Rental Regulation Code Background
<br /> The City initially regulated the rental of docks via Ordinance No. 43 adopted Apri123, 1962.
<br /> That ordinance defined the "Business of Docking or Storing Boats" as "Renting or otherwise
<br /> providing space for docking or storing three or more boats belonging to persons other than
<br /> the owner of the property upon which said boats are docked or stored". That ordinance
<br /> further stated that a license is required to be engaged in the business of docking or storing boats,
<br /> � and that no license shall be issued unless the property involved is in the commercial zone.
<br /> Ordinance No. 51 adopted Apri18, 1963 slightly revised the definition by adding the clause "or
<br /> adiacent to which said boats are moored", recognizing that mooring buoys are an alternative
<br /> method of boat storage.
<br /> , Ordinance No. 166 adopted June 25, 1974 again slightly revised the definition to read as follows:
<br /> " "Renting or other�vise providing space, including boat buovs, for docking, moorin�,or
<br /> storing three or more boats belonging to persons other than the owner or renter of the
<br /> property upon which said boats are clocked or stored, or adjacent to which said boats are
<br /> � moored". This new language allowed the renter of lakeshore property to have the right to store
<br /> a boat on the property.
<br /> Ordinance No. 173 adopted December 19, 1974 revised the definition again,this time to read:
<br /> "Renting or otherwise providing space, including boat buoys, for docking, mooring,or
<br /> storing three or more boats belonging to persons other than the owner or renter of the
<br /> property upon or from which said boats are docked or stored, or adjacent to which said
<br /> boats are moored".
<br /> The 1984 recodification of the Municipal Code resulted in additional minor changes to the
<br /> definition: "Business of Docking,Mooring, or Storing Boats means renting or otherwise
<br /> providing space, including boat buoys,for docking, mooring, or storing three or more �
<br /> boats belonging to persons other than the owner or�ex�e�occupant of the property�

<br /> The definition underwent a significant revision with Ordinance No. 117, 2"d Series adopted June
<br /> 28, 1993: "Business of Docking, Mooring, or Storing Boats means renting or otherwise
<br /> � �providing space, including boat buoys,for docking, mooring, or storing�k�ee one or more
<br /> boats belonging to persons other than the owner or occupant of the property, excent when
<br /> . � licensed as a ioint use". This revision effectively disallowed the rental of a�slips at private
<br /> docks without a business license. Ordinance 117, 2"d Series also separated out the joint use dock
<br /> _ �� licensing requirernents from the marina licensing requirements. Note that the clause "except
<br /> when licensed as a joint use"would not apply to most dock rental situations,because a joint use
<br /> ` iicense can only be obtained by a group of riparian or non-riparian landowners witllin a
<br /> subdivision.
