Nybeck, FXF_Cl)TI�✓E nIRECTOR July 9, 2012 Mr. Rodney Burwell 1100 Millston Road Orono, MN 55391 Dear Mr. Burwell: RE: Site #448, Tanager Bay Since the summer of 2006, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) staff conducted lake wide inspections of watercraft storage on Lake Minnetonka. During one of those boating seasons, your site was identified as one that may have had more restricted watercraft docked or moored than what was allowed by LMCD Code. In follow-up to that inspection, a letter was submitted to you with the intent to provide relevant and current educational information to allow you to assess whether the watercraft storage was out of compliance, and, if so, to take the steps necessary to voluntarily bring the storage into compliance; with re-inspections planned for the following boating season and beyond. Based on mv re- inspection and documentation received, boat stora4e at the subiect site continued to be out of compliance durinq the 2012 boatinq season; specificallv. the storage of five or more restricted watercraft without a multiqle dock license. In order to legally dock or moor five or more restricted watercraft, a multiple dock license would be required. To assess how many restricted watercraft your site can store, the following information is enclosed: � A document outlining frequently asked questions relating to boat storage. • An excerpt from LMCD Code Section 2.02, outlining watercraft density rules and regulations (found in its entirety on the LMCD web site). • An educational flyer to assist in defining your dock use area. Re-inspection of your watercraft storage is planned this boating season and beyond. Any further v8olations could result in legal consequences as documentation would then be turned over to the LMCD prosecuting attorney. I continue to welcome your call to answer any questions you may have or to assist in reviewing your boat storage needs. Please give me a call at 952-745-0789, so that I may review findings as they relate specifically to your property. At that time, I would be able to assess if you qualify for a multiple dock license.
