i� ` ' <br /> " � ITEM <br /> � ���� 1 A <br /> LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br /> RE: APPLICATION OF J�FF AND JILL PUGH <br /> FINDINGS <br /> On June 13, 2007, at 7:00 p.m., pursuant to due notice, a public hearing was held by the <br /> Lake Mimietonka Conservation District ("LMCD") Board of Directors at the Wayzata <br /> City Hall in the City of Wayzata, Minnesota. The hearing was held to consider the <br /> application by Jeff and Jill Pugh ("Applicants") for dock length, side setback and <br /> adjusted dock use area variances for property at 3585 Frederick Street in the City of <br /> Orono, Minnesota. The property has approximately 21 feet of shoreline at elevation <br /> 929.4 NGVD and is located on the north end of Carmans Bay. <br /> The Applicants have proposed a 90-foot long adjusted dock use area. Within the <br /> proposed dock use area, the Applicants propose a 90-foot long straight dock, which <br /> would be four feet wide, along the westerly extended side site line (with a 0-foot <br /> setback); the storage of two restricted watercraft on the east side of the dock (a boat and a <br /> personal watercraft); and a five-foot setback from the adjusted easterly extended side site <br /> line. <br /> The hardships submitted by Applicants were shallow water and converging lot lines. <br /> The Board finds that the shallow water and converging lot lines constitute a hardship <br /> within the meaning of LMCD Code, Section 1.07. However, providing the adjustments <br /> requested by the Applicants necessarily involve cha�lges to the authorized dock use areas <br /> of one or more of the properties adjacent to the subject property. <br /> The Applicants have documented a water depth of 2.8 feet 60 feet from the shoreline, 3.3 <br /> feet 70 feet from the shoreline, 3.7 feet 80 feet from the shoreline and 3 9 feet 90 feet <br /> from the shoreline. <br /> The effect of the adjustment of dock use areas on adjacent properties can be mitigated by <br /> granting variances to,those properties to offset the adverse impact of the adjustment of <br /> the dock use area granted by this order. <br /> The Board finds that granting a variance that would allow more than one restricted <br /> watercraft to be stored at this site is not appropriate because there would not be sufficient <br /> room for more than one restricted watercraft in the dock use area at the site even if the <br /> hardship conditions did not exist. <br /> 313614v1 CLL LK110-4 1 <br />
