Lake Minnetonka Conservation District Regular Board Meeting August 28,2002 Page 5 original proposed site plan to make it work. He believed that the proposed site plan addressed the neighborhood concem; however, they would be open to consider other changes. He urged the Board to make a decision in the near future because he believed that the process had been drawn out. Ms. Shirley Hendrickson, 3200 North Shore Drive,clarified that she had met with Paul Blomberg on August 11th to discuss the proposed site plan, She expressed concem about making further adjustments towards her property because she has a limited amount of shoreline and the location of the North Shore Marina dock causes them problems. She believed that the proposed site plan was reasonable and that both property owners abutting the Pacovsky site needed to give something. Mr. Mike Wallace, 3160 North Shore Drive, stated that he currently shares a dock with the Blomberg's. He expressed concem that the proposed site plan would have a great impact on the Blomberg site because the proposed jet ski does not include proper maneuvering space. He believed that there was enough space to move the structures slightly to the west and that would allow for joint maneuvering areas that would make all parties involved happy. Mr. Rick Windenburg, 3200 North Shore Drive, stated that if the Board had concems about maneuvering space for the proposed jet ski at the Pacovsky dock, it could be moved to the west side of the dock where a 6'side setback has been proposed from the adjusted side site�line. Babcock stated that if that were the case, it would require a greater adjustment of the westem side site line. There being no further comments, the public hearing was closed at 7:55 p.m. McMillan complimented the neighborhood for the compromises that had taken place to accommodate the docking needs for the Pacovsky site. She questioned whether the request made by the Pacovskys for two watercraft is reasonable. She suggested that it might be appropriate to limit the number and size of watercraft at this site. Babcock echoed the comments of McMillan and complimented the efforts of the neighborhood. He believed that the proposed dock was relatively close; however, there are four points for the Board to consider if the applications are sent back to staff for further work. They include: 1) limiting the number and size of watercraft at the Pacovsky dock, possibly to 24' length with less beam width, 2)the angles are skewed slightly to the south and should be equaled out,3)there might be a possibility to granted a further dock length variance at the HendricksonNUindenburg site to accommodate for the Pacovsky site with further adjustments to the west, and 4)any reduction in the dock use area for the Blomberg site could be adjusted elsewhere in the their authorized dock use area. Foster stated that he would support reducing the proposed adjustment of the eastern extended side site line. The Board directed staff to get the applicants and the affected property owners together to resolve the issues addressed by the Board. The meeting was recessed at 8:03 p.m. and re-convened at 8:07 p.m.
