WHEREAS the present channel depth of less than half that re- quired in the permit constitutes an obstruction to navigation by the public and is therefore violative of the public interest. WHEREAS the Flood Plain purposes of the City of Orono are not adversely affected by maintenance of the channel since the absence of such maintenance will not preserve wetlands as its poli^ies require. WHEREAS non -dredging which may convert wetlands from public waters is not a stated objective of the City's ordinances. WHEREAS non -dredging may not create wetlands or even if it does that the process may entail years of open, stagnant water with mos- quito bret— :nrj, stench and other ;ossible nuisance aspects injurious to riparian owners and t'­ public. WHEREAS, current DNR rules as a matter of general policy dis- favor dredging and channeling in public waters make express exception for maintenance dredging of channels to existing boat harbors, 6 MCAR §1.5022 H.2.b. W11EREAS, the DNR rules reflect a policy to protect the existing natural character of public waters and their existing shorelands and that doing so meets the Orono requirement of showing the applicant's interest as being in the public interest, 6 MCAR S1.5022 A. entitled Policy and General Restri tions. WHEREAS the existing harbor and channel constitute a pre-existing non -conforming use and the request for maintenance dredging therefore constitutes maintenance of a non -conforming use rather than its en- largement or replacement and therefore complies with City ordinances governing non -conforming uses. WHEREAS continued use of the harbor for boat docking rather than construction of a long dock on the shallows lakeward from other riparian access of the applicant mitiyat.es visual imposition of visible J man-made ..mprovements on the lake as a whole. WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to limit all docking on his pro- perty to one dock in the harbor and to install no docks lakeward on his property so long as tie is entitled to maintain the harbor and channel in accordance with its original dimensions and so long as lake levels permit the same to yield three feet of clearance. WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to memorialize the above stated limits on ripar-an use by imposing a restrictive covenant running with the land in favor of the City of Orono or to execute a conserva- tion easeme.it to the City to the same effect. WHEREAS, the limits herein imposed shall not prohibit the launching of watercraft directly into the main lake from applicant's property or the mooring of watercraft at buoy(s) all subject to existing or future rules and ordinances governing same. THEREFORE, the Council determines: 1. Dredging shall be limited to maintenance of the channel within the scope of the original permit and shall be done by suction with deposit of the spoils as specified by the City. Excavation shall be limited to 30 cubic yards. 2. This permit is dependent on permission from DNR. 3. This permit shall be governed by all the premises and promises herein. 10 Stoe;w Of /NL.&r wlrN AfoPoJED b ocx ONE SOUR eE = /o' fr_,�e ZAKf, d DE�oc goose I I 1 1 1 I i I i I i 1 I pRoPERlY � iNE My current dock has deteriorated beyond repair and this coming year I will be purchasing a new dock. I will also be vetVng a 19' boat requiring a boat lift and canopy cover. Due to a chronic back problem : shculd not be engaged in the physical labor involved with putting; in and taking out a dock each year. I propose to avoid this hardship by putting a dock in the Inlet where it woulJ be prctedted fr--n sK,ftint, ice and could be left in year around. "his location would also afford more protection for my boat during rough weathar and from theft as it is closer and more visable from the house. Removing 1M" of superficial sand from the entrance to the inlet would. not break or enter tht, mud bottom of the lake and would only remove sand which has filtered in during the last few years. i would be hippy to uoe a steel pipe dock in the inlet instead of a pillnv dock to spare the lake any possible damjWe from driving piles Into the bottom quid to spare me the expense of the z:-me.

Staff Update - October 2, 1978 As requested by the Planning Commission, the applicant has checked with the DNR and was informed that a previous dredging permit had been issued for that property and they foresee no problem with issuing another. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 1978 Planning Commis -,icon recommends approval of the dredging project prepared by David Dunlap based on a previous DNR permit being issu--xd for dredging in 1970 and the amount to be dredged is negligable. If the dredged materials are to be disposed on the lot, the applicant mist consult with the staff concerning on -site disposal standards set by the DNR. The Commission recommends that Dr. Dunlap consider the suction dredging method. Before final Council action, the Planning Commission requested a copy of the original DNR permit for Council and staff review, The Commission expressed concern over blanket approval being given to maintenance dredging projects. They recommended new criteria be established to deal with each application.

The Commi-sion expressed concern over blanket approval being given to maintenance dredging projects. They recommer.ded new criteria be established to deal with each application. Council fleeting - October 26, 1978 Discussion was held concerning maintenance dredging, riparian rights, and hardships invclved. It was brought out that the Dunlap property has approximately 100' of shoreline and has riparian access to navigable waters in addition to the lagoon. Acting Mayor Massengale stated that long years of dealing with the subject have convinced t.'m that dredging disturbs the waters and stirs up nutrients in the lake. There has been no findings that this work is required to maintain riparian access to the lake; there has been no finding of any hardship. We should vote to deny the dredging or send it back to the Planning Commission to determine hardship. Pesek moved to approve the dredging on the basis the lakeshore property has had a dock and, therefore, has been denied use of the lakcshore. Motion died for lack of a second.

Box 90 I Navarre, Minnesota, USA. 55392 (612) 471-B407 TO: Mayor Brad Van Nest , Orono City Council -k ...- Dear Council: On Saturday, November 11, I was invited by Dr. David Dunlap to view a proposed dredging project on Crystal Bay at Bohnts Point. Dr. Dunlap proposes to remove about 50 cubic feet of sand using the suction dredging technique so as to facilitate access to a small lagoon. The entrance to the lagoon has been silted up over the years as a result of power boats moving sediment towards the Bohn's Point shoreline. The sita where Dr. Dunlap proposes to pump the sediment is adequately contcared so that water losses will occur primarily by evaporation. If Dr. Dunlap uses the suction dredging technique, then for su:-h a small amount of sediment, there will be minimal d.isrurbance to the ecosyster. In fact there ate certain ecological advantages to the program suggested by Dr. Dunlap. (1) Dr. Dunlap will not have to construct a lengthy dock to provide access to the lake. There are obvious aesthetic aspects to cutting back on the numbers of docks of this type. (2) The small lagoon will be accessible to spawning fish, especially northern pike and crappie. At the -resent time it is riot accessible. (3) If the lagoon is not opened to the lake it will slowly develop into a mosquito breeding area with stagnant water. Although I recognize that Dr. Dunlap has access to Crystal Bay already on his lakefront, in my opinion his project is a small one which has aesthetic as well as environmental merit.

(Continued) REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, NOVEMBER 14, 1978 Page 10 Planning Commission Meeting - October 10, 1978 Planning Commission recommends approval of the dredging project prepared by David Dunlap based on a previous DNR permit being issued for dredging in 1.970 and the amount to be dredged is negligible. If the dredged materials are to be disposed on the lot, the applicant must consult with the staff concerning on -site disposal standards set by the DNR. The Commission recommends that Dr. Dunlap consider the suction dredging method. Before final Council action, the Planning Commission requested a copy of the original DNR permit for Council and staff review. The Commission expressed concern over blanket approval being given to maintenance dredging projects. They recommended new criteria be established to deal with each application. Staff Note - November 9, 1978 Attached is a draft copy of a resolution for denial as requested at the last meeting. I understand Mr. Dunlap will be at the meeting and may request reconsideration. Council Meeting - November 14, 1978 Mr. & Mrs. David Dunlap were present. Mr. Dunlap read a letter concerning his request to the City Council. Letter - Pages 11 &12 Mr. Dunlap also presented the City Council with a letter from Dr. John M. Wood, Director of the Gray Freshwater Biological Research Foundation. Letter - Page 13 Mayor Van Nest stated that he has always believed that dredging does do damage to the lake. He stated that the Council consistently maintains that dredging is ece- Iically and environmentally unsound for Lake Minnetonka. The reasons why some dred-;ing had been approved was to maintain riparian rights to the lake for homeowners. He also explained the process of nutrients polluting the lake due to dredging. Discu ion included former applications for dredging that had been approved several years ago, riparian rights, maintenance dredging, and hardships involved. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 1595 Aohns Point Road (Continued) (Continued. page 14) a David J. Dunlap, M. D. 1595 Bohn's Point Road Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 November 14, 1978 The Honorable Brad Van Nest Mayor of Orono Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 My dear Mayor Van Nest: This is a request for the Orono Village Council to reconsider my application for maintenance dredging of the channel into my boat harbor. Unfortunately, I was unable to be at the last council meeting to supply information that pe rhaECs would have helped clarify my application. As you know, this natural inlet and channel were dredged in 1950 to produce a boat harbor. This area has been used intermittently for that purpose since, and I have periodically kept boats here. During the past 28 years however, there has vec„ gradual encroachment of the sand blanket in this area over the entrance to the harbor, so that this entrance is no longer deep enough to accommodate my new boat. I have proposed placement of a permanent dock in the harbor for mooring of this boat. With regard to the resolution to deny my conditional use permit being considered by the village Council tonight, I would like to answer each specific point made in the resolution. .1. Although I do have other access to the lake, the access in the lagoon is not comparable in any way to that in the main lake, and the request to continue use of this area is made not merely for convenience. The shore of the main lake is eove.ed by an extensive sand bar that requires an extremely long dock to reach water deep enough for a medium sized boat. This area is not suitable for permanent dock placement because of this and because of the exposure to the prevailing northwesterly winds during ice break up. During the last few years I have buoyed a boat in this area rather than put up an extremely long dock. In addition, the lagoon area can be obsc ved from tho house whereas the main lake dock area cannot, and thus is more vulnerable to theft and vandalism. 2. The type of dredging and placemt.>nt of spoils requested was fully discussed with the Planning Commission when they unanimously approved my application. It was felt that such suction dredging conforming to the rules of the LMrD for placement of spoils was preferred and easily accomplished. In addition, Doctor John Wood of the Freshwater Biolovic Institute has inspected my p operty, including the proposed areas of places-ent of spoils, and sees no adverse effect from using this arora. i. rmpact on the lake was also iiscussed in the Planning Commission. According to the statement policy accepted by the Orono Citlr Council on March I1, 1975, this Lagoon would be classified as part of Lake Minnetonka, and as such, she, be so 4 _ 2_ protected. If this channel area is allowed to close by siltation, this lagoon would be lost to the lake and become marshland. This would not only deprive various fish species of a breeding area, but would also deny access to fishermen. There would be no adverse ecological impact on the lake if this area were dredged vy the methods described. A recent study completed at the. Freshwater Biologic Institute would support this. 9. Hardship to the land by denial of this dredg,ny would be an ultimate loss of this area to Lake Minnetonka. In addition, loss of the boat .lagoon to me would have a considerable influence on the value of my property, for which I feel I should be reimburse,l.if the council chooses to deny my appli-Ition. 5. Public interest to be served by this dredging would be the c(Itinued use of this area by fishermen, and avoidance of an unusually long dock extending into Lake Minnetonka. 6. Orono village ordnances do not specifically disallow dredging b?cause other riparian access is present. In addition, previous dredging permits issued by the City Council have NOT always been for maintenance of riparian rights. A permit issued or; October 26, 1971, at 2660 Casco Point Road allowed channel dredging through shallo,r lak, bottom, so that a more convenient, permanent dock could be placed at tho shore rather than use an unusually long dock. In addition, on May 29, 1973, a dredging permit was issued by the City Council at 1298 Wildhurst Trail to dredge an inlet for boat dockage even though ample other shore existed in a very convenience location. The Orono City Council allowed dredging of a 20 foot channel almost a quarter of a mile in length through marshland, August 12, 1968, at 360 Norch Arm Lane to produce lake access where none had existed before. 7. I do not feel that there has been a situation comparable to mine presented tL• the City Council where a dredging permit has been denied. T was unable to find, in the council minutes, any example of denial of maintenance eredging, and it would seem that a denial would be an unprecented action. In summary, there is absolutely no ecological or logical reason to disallow maintenance dredginy in this area, and in fact, it would be beneficial to the lake, Tn addition, there is no precedent for this denial and for these reasons the permit should be granted. very truly yours, -'DAVI D J. DLIN[ P, M. D. D.ID/mjc enc: REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, NOVEMBER 14, 1978 Page 14 Mr. Alin Olson, City Planner, gave a review of some CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT of the former dredging permits. In one particular 1595 Bohns Point Road case, hardship had not been demonstrated due to the (Continued) fact that the homeowner had not lost riparian rights to the lake, and therefore, had not had approval for dredging. Councilmember Massengale stated that Mr. Dunlap does have riparian rights to the lake and that no hardship has been demonstrated.

The lagoon was dredged in 1950 pursuant to DNR Permit 50-8 which permitted creation of the existing harbor and channel imposed as a condition thereon that the same "shall be considered public waters and shall be left open and unobstructed for navigation by the Public", Paragraph IV thereof. 2. The lagoon mouth has gradually closed over the last 28 years by encrescl- -ant of a natural sand blanket in the area. Reso to ion No. 1028 Page I 3. The present channel depth of less than half that required in the permit constitutes an obstruction to navigation by the public. 4. Current DNR rules as a matter of general policy disfavor dredging and channeling in public waters but make express exception for maintenance dredging of channels to existing boat harbors, 6 MCAR 1.5022. B.2.b., and further reflect a policy to protect the existing natural chara..:ter of public waters and their existing shorelands, 6 MCAR 1.5022 A. 5. The Council has repeatedly made findings that any dredging is detrimental. to the lake, but previous dredging permits have been apprcwcd by the City Council for maintenance of riparian rights. While the applicant has other riparian shore, the shoreline is extremely shallow requiring an unusually long dock to reach navigable water depth. Use of the harbor for boat docking rather than construction of a long dock on the shallows lakeward from other riparian access of the applicant mitigates intrusion of visible man-made improvements on the lake and avoids a navigational impairment on the main lake. 6. The existing harbor and channel constitute a pre- existing non -conforming use and the request for maintenance dredging therefore constitutes maintenan— of a non -conforming use rather than its enlargement or replacement and therefore complies with City ordinac.ces governing non -conforming uses. 7. The ap ant proposes to accomplish the dredging by means of I suction dredging method. A. Freshwater Biological Research Foundation report on dredging in Lafayette Bay, Lake Minnetonka, dated October 30, 1978, states that "clearly, suction dredging for channel maintenance is much less deleterious to the body of water than traditional dredging practices" Resolution No.1028 Page 3 The applicant has identified a spoils disposal site on his property which will contain the spoils without direct runoff back into Lake Minnetonka thereby reducing the amount of nutrients released in the lake. 8. Non -dredging may or may not create wetlands, but even if it does that the process may entail years of open, stagnant water with mosquito breeding, stench and other possible nuisance aspects injurious to neighboring property owners and the public. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council. of the City of Orono hereby approves the application of David Dunlap for a Conditional Use Permit to dredge approximately 200 cubic feet of material from the mouth of the existing harbor on his property, finding that such dredging is required to maintain reasonable riparian access to the property, subject to the following stipulations: 1. Dredging shall be limited to maintenance of the hannel within the scope of the original DNR permit and shall_ be done by the suction method. 2. Spoils disposal shall be generally in the area shown on the attached map, Exhibit A. Prior to start of the dredging, the spoils disposal arer3 shall be staked off and diked by hay bales or similar methods to prevent immediate runoff of water into the wetlands. If runoff water volume exceeds the capacity of the disposal area dike, the culvert under the Bohns Point Road shall be temporarily plugged to prevent direct runoff into the channel toward Crystal Ba-: In no case shall runoff be allowed to run directly west into Crystal Bay. 3. The spoils disposal area shall be seeded no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the dredging and shall be reseeded in the spring of 1980 as require.'. to assure full erosion control. Resolution No. 1028 Page 4 4. The approval of this dredging in no way provides additional riparian access rights to Lots 1 or 2, Lydiard's Park, beyond those rights existing prior to the dredging. The affected owners of said lots specifically agree to limit all docking to one dock per lot according to the ordinances of the City and the LMCD.

Van Nest, Mayor AT ST: Walter . Benson, Clerk/Administrator RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION TO DENY A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DREDGING BY DAVID DUNLAP WHEREAS, the City of Orono is a municipal corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the City Ccuncil of the City of Orono, hereinafter "Council" has adopted ordinance 125, Ordinance 167, Ordinance 179, and Ordinance 213 all for purposes of regulating filing, grading, dredging, excavation and construction within the Flood Plain and Wetlands Conservation Area, which area is defined as including all areas below the ordinary highwater elevation of Lake Minnetonka; and WHEREAS, David Dunlap has applies f)r a permit to dredge approximately 200 cubic feet of material from the mouth of a lagoon on :t'_s property, legally described as Lot 1, Lydiard's Park; and WHEREAS, said appiication has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council; and WHEREAS, Section 31.830 of the Orono Municipal Code requires a determination that the application is in the public interest prior to issuance of any permit, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the information submits--J '1y M- Dunlap and based upon the review by t:he Planning Commission and ^oui.-il, the City Council hereby makes the following Findings of Fact: ✓ 1. The dredging is not required to maintain riparian access to the property as there exists approximately 200 ft. of shoreline abutting Lake Minnetonka in addition to the lagoon. 2. There has previously existed a boat dock extending from the shoreline of this property directly into Crystal Bay, Lake Minnetonka, which dock was not in the lagoon. Dr. Dunlap has stated that the length of this dock would have to be "about 75' long" which is less than the 100' permitted the LMCD Ordinance. Resolution No. Page 2 3. Dr. Dunlap has stated that he wishes to construct a "permanent do---k" which could be done in the lagoon but which could not be done in the main lake. There is no vested right in any landowner to install "permanent docks" in Lake Minnetonka. Indeed, such docks require a special StLte DNR permit ;ind a Conditional Use Perm.Lt from Orono City Ordinance 213. Temporary o: Seasonal docks are permitted without special authority. 4. Dr. Dunlap has stated in his letter of November 14, 1978 that the pug, —)se of the dredging is to "accommodate my new boat". 5. The subject lagoon was man-made from an deparent marsh or wetlands which was and is a naturally occurring feature at the end of drainageways entering Lake Minnetonka. 1,, The dredging of the lagoon in 1950 was pursuant to a permit issued by the Minnesota Depertment of Natural Resuurces which agency has since drastically altered the procedures and justifications for issuance of. dredging permits. 7. The closing of the lagoon mouth by sand or other material is a gradual and natural occurence in the life of a lake and is a natural reclaimati.on of the original wetlands or marsh area. 8. If the lagoon became a marsh again, there is ample evidence in many reports such as the Harza Studies, that such a marsh would better filter storm water runoff and prevent. lake pollution than would the open water of a lagoon. 9. Several dredging methods were discussed at the Tanning Commission including hand shoveling, backhoes, clam dredge and suction dredge. No method has been firmly proposed by Dr. Dunlap although suction dredging has been mentioned as the "preferred" method. 10. Suction dredging requires a local disposal site for large volumes of water which must be ponded and evaporated. No spoils disposal is permitted within wetlands or within 1000 ft. of the lakeshore. Dr. Dunlap has discussed "low areas" on this property where the spoils might be placed but the City has no documentation (map) to indicate or evaluate such sites. Resolution No. Page 3 11. The Freshwater Biological Research Foundation report on dredging in Lafayette Bay, Lake Minnetonka, dated October 30, 1978, states that "clearly, suction dredging for channel maintenance is much less deleterious to the body of water than traditional dredging practices". This is not to sa; that suction dredging is not deleterious or is not adverse to some extent. 12. There has been no evidence submitted to show a beneficial impact upon the lake ur to show a lack of adverse ecological impact upon the lake. A letter from J.M. Wood, Director of the FWBRF, states only that ".....for such a small amount of sediment, there will be minimal disturbance to the ecosystem". 13. The only hardships presented by Dr. Dunlap are ones of esthetics (lack of dock in main lake, lack of eventual marshy lagoon) and convenience (permanent, rather than seasonal dockage closer Lo Dunlap's house). 14. The only stated public interest to the dredging would be improved access by fishermen to the lagoon. There is no evidence to snow that fish and fishermen ( if net fishing boats) can not now enter the lagoon with of water at the mouth. 15. Fish spawning .i the lagoon could be hamper-- e lagoon was opened to larger power boats than now po e. 16. Previous dredging permits approved by the City Council have been for maintenance of riparian rights which is not the case in this application. Suca permits include those for Walters Port Association (May, 1977), Garman's Cove Association (Jurte, 1977), and West Shore Lafayette Bay Assn. (June, 1978) minates of which approvals clearly show the overriding concern of maintaining riparian access to many homes. 17. At least two recent applications for dredging were withdrawn by the applicant when the Council clearly indicated an intention to deny the application (Hannah, 1978 and Birkland, 197:' & 1918). Resolution No. Page 4 18. The loss of this man-made lagoon to use by Dr. Dunlap for mooring of a "new boat" is not caused by the action or inaction of this Council but "during the last 28 years however, there has been a gradual encroachment of the sand blanket in this area..." 19. The Council has repeatedly made findings that any dredging is detrimental to the lake, but that some methods may be better than others. AND, BE IT FURTHERMORE RESOLVED, that based upon the above findings of fact, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby denys the application for a dredging permit by David Dunlap.

That Conditional Use Permit was authorized by Reso- lution No. 1028 of the City of Orono. Although Dr. Dunlap has received approval from the City of Orono for his proposed dredging, under Minnesota Statutes, Chap- ter 105 (Hess. Laws 1977), the City of Oi)no must be served with a copy of Dr. Dunlap's Application to the Department of Natural Resources for their approval of his proposed project. In accordance with that statutory requirement, please find enclosed a copy of Dr. Durlap's DNR Application, the Notification of Permit Application, a copy of Resolution No. 1028 of the City of Orono, three sketches and the original Department of Natural Resources Permit for dredging in the harbor area ii. 1950. Even th( 1h the City of Orono has approved Dr. Dunlap's permit application previously, the Department of Natural Resources will not take action on his Application until comments from required agencies have been submitted. Dr. Dunlap, understandably, is anxious to obtain the needed approval from state and local agencies so that he may complete the dredging if approved. Thus, your prompt assistance in returning the Notification of Permit Application with comments to the P partment of Natural Resources will be greatly appreciated.

A RESOLUTION TO GRANT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DREDGING BY DAVID DUNLAP WHEREAS, the DNR permit 50-8 which permitted creation of the existing harbor and channel imposed as a condition thereon that the same "shall be considered pubic waters and shall be left open and unobstructed for navigation by the public", Paragraph IV thereof. WHEREAS, the present channel depth of less than half that. required in the permit constitutes an obstruction to navigation b1 the public and is therefore violative of the public interest. WHEREAS, the Flood Plan purposes of the City of Orono are not adversely affected by ri intenance of the channel since the absence of such maintenanc All not preserve wetlands as its policies require. WHEREAS, nor: -dredging which may convert wetlands from public waters is not a stated objective of the City's ordinances. WHEREAS, non -dredging may not create wetlands or even if it does that the process may entail years of open, stagnant water with mosquito breeding, stench and other possible nuisance aspects in- jurious to riparian owners and the public. WHEREAS, current DNR rules as a matter of general policy dis- favor dredging and channeling in public waters make express exception for maintenance dredging of channels to existing boat harbors, 6 MCAR 51.502: B.2.b. WHEREAS, the DNR rules reflect a policy to prottct the exist- ing natural character of public waters and their existing shorelarnds and that doing so meets the Orono requirement- of showing th- app:icant's ,-tere-t ,_ ueii,g k.. the public interest, 6 MCAR 51.5022 A. entitled Policy and General Restrictions. WHEREAS, the existing harbor and channel constitute a pre- existing non -conforming use and the requ_st for maintenance dredging therefore constitutes maintenance of a non -conforming use rather than its enlargement or replacement and therefore complies with City ordinances governing non-conforminq uses. WHEREAS, continued use of the harbor for boat docking rather tlian construction of a long cock on the shallows lakeward from other riparian access of the applicant mitigates intrusion of visible man-made improvements on the lake and avoids a navigational impairment. WHEREAS, the applicant agrees to limit all docking on his property to one dock in the harbor and to install no docks lakeward on his property so long as he is entitled to maintain the harbor and channel in accordance with its original dimensions and so long as lake levels permit the same to yield three feet of clearance. WHEREAS, the application agrees to memorialize the above stated limits on riparian use by imposing a restrictive covenant running with the land in favor of the City of Orono or to execute a conservation easement to the City to the same effect. WHEREAS, the limits herein imposed shall not prohibit the launching of watercraft directly into the main lake from applicant's property or the mooring of watercraft as buoy(s) all subject to existing or future rules and ordinances governing same. THEREFORE, the Council determine:;: 1. Dredging shall be limited to maintenance of the channel within the scope of the original permit and shall be done by suction with deposit of the spoils as specified by the City. Excavation shall be limited to 30 cubic yards. 2. This permit is dependent on permission from DNF. 3. This permit shall be governed by all the premises avid promises herein. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the above, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby grant the application for a dredging permit by David Dunlap.
