Robert M. Cargill <br /> � and Richard T. Doherty, 1lereinafter the Developers) for the <br /> platting and development of the property situated on North <br /> � Arm Drive in Orono (Tract B, RLS 924 and Tract C, RLS 158) . <br /> � As you recall , the Planning Commission and the City Council <br /> � long ago gave preliminary approval to the proposed plat as to <br /> the delin�ation of the six buildable lots and the one-acre <br /> � out-lot (Lots 1 to 6 and Out-lot A of the proposed plat) . The <br /> last several appearances before the Planning Commission and the <br /> � City Council have been in connection with the development of the <br /> • wet-land area between the buildable land and Lake Minnetonka. <br /> A Otir third proposal for development of the �aet-land (the Cornmon <br /> Use Dock from Lots 3 and 4 to the existing channel and then to <br /> � t,he body of Lake I�iinnetonka) was recomrn�nded for approval by <br /> �-he Planning Commission and eventually approved by the City Council. <br /> � However, the Department of Natural Resources , when presented with <br /> an application for a dock permit in connection with that third <br /> � oroposal, stated that it would not approve the same because the <br /> • lake bottom where the proposed dock entered the body of Lake <br /> ;�"innetonka was an excellent fish spawning area. The DNR sugUested <br /> � a snort dock from Lots 3 and 4 to the existing channel with <br /> dredging io accommodate berths for six pleasure boats (this <br /> � provosal is identical to our oroposal number 2 wlzich was rejected <br /> by the Planning Com.mission and City Council) . This posed an <br /> � nbvious prob]_em for the Developers. The City of Orono would allow <br /> • ti�e Deve]_opers to build the Iong dock (proposal number 3) , a <br /> d�v�lop�nent which the DyR would not allow; the DNR would allow <br /> �_�e Developers to construct the short dock with dredging (proposal <br /> T�-_: ��b�r ?_) , a development which the City of Orono would not allow. <br /> � <br />
