To: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: April 28, 1988 Subject: 3400 North Shore Drive - Complaints Regarding Commercial Use We have received a number of complaints regarding a "boat lift installation" business being conducted from this property. The comp laints, from two or three sources, have indicated that the ogeration consists of a barge and crane being docked on Crystal Bay across from this property, which is used for instal ling boats lifts around the lake. Apparently, the barge was also seen on the yard of the property being painted, at some point during the month of April. The first telephone complaint to me occurred on Apri 1 8, 1988. Inspector Lyle Oman viewed the site on April 11, 1988 at 11:40 a.m. and found that the large piece of equipment alleged to have been in the yard had been moved and there was no evidence of a business operating at that time. Since then, we have received additional complaints regarding the use of the dock area for storing the barge. Today I visited the site and knocked on the door, but found no one home. I left a slip in the door requesting the property owner to contact us regarding the apparent commercial use of the property in absence of the proFer zoning and without evidence of a home occupation license on file. I also noted that three boat lifts were stored on the Crystal Bay side of North Shore Drive on this property. The barge was not present. There also is a 30' f latbed trailer stored in the driveway adjacent to Tonkawa Road. The tongue of this trailer would appear to be very near the right-of-way line. This would probably be construed as storage of equipment in violation of Section 10.60, Subdivision 13, in that the trailer is not stored to the rear of the house, it does not appear to be at least 10' from any property line and appears to be an unoccupied trailer greater than 20' in length, and may be, in fact, being stored for commercial purposes. I will follow up the inspection slip with a letter.
