A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE NUMBER OF
SLIPS LICENSED AT GAYLES MARINA IN 1980
WHEREAS, the City Council on June 30, 1980 adopted
Resolution No. 1158 thereby issuing a 1980 Commercial Dock License
to Gayles Marina, Inc. , for 134 slips; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 1158 specifically denied a license
for any slips in excess of 134 as may have been drawn on the dock
plan, Exhibit B, to Resolution No. 1158; and
WHEREAS, the Council wishes to assure that the record is -
clear as to why such additional slips were not licensed by the City,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Orono hereby makes the fol.lowing findings of fact:
1. Gayles Marina has been licensed for 134 slips since 1967.
- 2. All the landscaping, screening, and other improvements
agreed to by Gayle Wittig for Gayles Marina have not
yet been completed according to the terms of the 1975
Operations Agreement.
3. Gayles Marina has more licensed slips than any other
marina in the City.
4 . Gayles Marina has more boats stored on land than any
other marina in the City.
5. The LMCD and DNR have classified Maxwell Bay as "Critical"
in terms of boat density, crowded waters, number of boats
stored and boats in use.
6. Section 73 . 060 of the Orono Municipal �ode provides that
regulation of the number af licensed slips is in the
public interest to protect against the increasing problems
caused by expanding commercial lake usage.
7. Increasing the number of licensed slips beyond 134 would
be contrary to the policy established in Resolution
No. 177 regarding dock licenses issued after 1967 and to
the policy established in Resolution No. 938 regarding
refusal to increase boat density at any commercial marina
- on Lake Minnetonka.

8. Denial of more than 134 slips total is not a denial
of gas dock or transient repair slips as the Marina
is free to allocate the location and use of slips in
any way the Marina wishes so long as all slips are
located within the LMCD Authorized Dock Use Area.
9. The fact that Gayles Marina has in 1979 complied
with City. and LMCD codes and reconstructed its docks
to fall within the authorized dock use area rather
than extend beyond said area is not compensation for
thereafter increasing the number of slips without
authorization.
10. At no time did the City promise Gayles Marina that
additional slips would be approved if the docks were
reconstructed as above.
11. The number of slips permitted to occupy public waters
is a licensed, regulated activity and is not a vested
right of any commercial marina.
This Resolution was adopted by the City Council of the City
of Orono on the 14th day of July , 1980
