The <br /> Applicant will also install a dock on the open water side of the peninsula for watercraft storage. <br /> Because the proposed bridge does not meet the requirements of LMCD Code, Section 2.13, Subd. <br /> 4(e), a variance is required. <br /> The bridge will be constructed over an area covered by emergent vegetation and water that is too <br /> shallow for navigation of watercraft. Therefare,the structure will not impede navigation. <br /> The Board finds that the shallow water azid emergent vegetation within the dock use area for the <br /> Subject Properiy constitute a hardship within the meaning of LMCD Code, Section 1.07, and that <br /> granting the variance is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Code, provided the facility is <br /> constructed and operated in accordance with the conditions hereinafter set forth. <br /> ORDER <br /> ON THE BASIS OF THE FOREGOING, IT IS ORDERED that the Board of Directors of the Lake <br /> Minnetonlca Conservation District grants the application of Nancy Blair for a bridge permit and <br /> variances, subject to fl�e following limitations: <br /> l. The bridge structure shall be constructed in strict conformance with the plans attached <br /> hereto as Attachment One. <br /> 2. No other dock structures may be constructed at the subject premises except in compliance <br /> with the LMCD Code, and within the authorized dock use area for the Subject Property. <br /> 3. The dock currently extending from the Subject Property, which is not within the authorized <br /> dock use area, shall be removed prior to construction of the bridge. <br /> CLL-275872v1 1 <br /> LK 1 I 0-4 <br />
