A RESOLUTSON REGARDING THE NUMBER OF
SLIPS LIC%ZI5ED AT GAYLES MARINA IN 1981
WHEREAS, the City Council on July 13, 1981, adopted
Resolution No. 1292 thereby issuing a 1981 Commercial Dcok License
to Gayles Marin, Inc. , for 134 slips; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 1292 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. 1292; and
WHEREAS, the Council wishes to assure that the recorc� is
clear as to why such additional slips were not licensed by the City;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RE�OLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Orono hereby makes the following findings �of fact:
l. Gayles Marina has been licensed for 134 slips
since 1967 .
• 2 . Al1 the landscaping, screening, and otr.er im-
provements 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 Ci�y.
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 P�unicipal Code provides
that regulation of the number of licensed slips is
in the public interest to protect against the in-
creasing problems caused by expanding commercial
lake usage.
7 . Increasing the number of licensed slips beyond 134
would be contrar� to the policy established in
Resolution No. 177 regarding dock licenses issued
after 1967 and to the policy established in Resalution
No. 938 regarding refusal to incr_ease boat density
at any commercial marina on Lake Minnetc�nka.

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 allacate the loca-
tion 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 com�lied
with the 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 withoiat authorization.
10. At no time did the City promise Gayles Niarina
that additional s]_ips would be approved if the
docks were reconstructed as above.
11. The number of slips permitted ta occupy public
waters is a licensed, regulated activi�y and is
• Tzot a vested right of any commercial mar_ana.
This �esolut�an wa� a��opted by trA City Co:zncil of the
City of Orono on the 13th day of July , 1981 .
