Hello Melanie. I know this is coming in late, but I figured it might be of some help to you.
I tried to figure out my own way through all of the LMCD rules, and decided I better talk to an
expert. I ended up speaking with Mathew over at the LMCD about the proposed dock, and he
was able to rattle off enough of their rules to get my head spinning.
One thing he mentioned was that docks need a 10 foot setback from any adjoining lots. I
guess this setback actually extends beyond the shoreline and into the lake. At least this is how
I understood it!
Attached are a couple of sketches I made to try to show this. In the handmade one, I used a
ruler to determine where 10 foot setback is, and I calibrated my measurement based upon the
38.5 feet of shoreline stated in one of the slides in the application. I also tried to illustrate it by
overlaying a slide from the application itself, but that is just me eyeballing it. If you figure a
dock is maybe 3 feet wide, plus the width of any boat tied to it, the dock might have to be
pretty short to stay within the setbacks. I have no idea how accurate any of this is, so It might
be a good idea to get this all surveyed to figure where these boarders actually lie.
Mathew said he would be very happy to help out with any questions you all might have. From
my limited understanding, there are a number of relevant LMCD rules that might have an
impact here.
Hope that helps! Thank you again and take care. -Jud
