City Code Section 78-1432 states the following: Sec. 78-1432.Time of construction. No accessory building or structure shall be constructed on any lot prior to the time of construction of the principal building to which it is accessory. This prohibits the construction of any accessory structure on a property prior to construction of a principal building. The City regulates docks as accessory structures because they serve the principal use and are incidental to the principal use. An accessory structure per City Code Section 78-1 is defined as: Sec. 78-1. Accessory use or structure means a use or structure subordinate to and serving the principal use or structure on the same lot and customarily incidental to the principal use or structure. Currently, absent a principal building the dock is illegal per the City Code Sections noted above. The dock must be removed within 14 days of the receipt of this letter to avoid legal action. An inspection will occur on September 8, 2004 to verify removal of the dock. The dock can be legally erected once construction of a principal structure begins. Should you have any further questions I can be reached at (952) 249-4623. Sincerely, City of Orono Janice Gundlach City Planner cc.
