The City's position on the various issues surrounding the <br /> Narrows dock lots is as follows: <br /> 1. Re: Ownership/rental status of the boat "Chop Chop". It is our understanding that the <br /> boat "Chop Chop", docked at Wittman's lot, was formerly owned solely by Wittman, but <br /> is currently owned by Wittman and Bates jointly.Bates claims that he is the principal owner <br /> of the boat and that Wittman's share in the ownership is minimal. Our previous discussion <br /> with a representative of Bates resulted in a proposal to re-title "Chop Chop" solely in <br /> Wittman's name to eliminate any question that Wittman is an owner of this boat. <br /> If such a re-titling did occur, the City would have no basis to consider this as a rental slip <br /> situation. The fact that the primary user of the boat is a co-owner not on the title, or is any <br /> person not on the title,is a non-issue from the City's perspective,because the code does not <br /> prohibit a person from allowing others to use his boat (this would not be the case in the <br /> situation where a pure rental or charter craft was being operated as a business in a residential <br /> zone). <br /> The code sections that apply to slip rental read as follows: <br /> 5.43 (Marina Business License): <br /> Subd. 1 A: (Definition): "Business Use" means engaging in either a marina business <br /> or the business of docking, mooring or storing boats. <br /> Subd. 1 C (Definitionl: "Business of Docking, Mooring or Storing Boats" means <br /> renting or otherwise providing space,including boat buoys,for docking,mooring or <br /> storing one or more boats belonging to persons other than the owner or occupant of <br /> the property, except when licensed as a joint use. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Faac(952)249-4616 <br /> www ci.orono.mn.us <br />
