Doug Babcock Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mandell:
Tonka Bay
David Gross
Deephaven In the summer of 2007, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation Dist�ict(LMCD) staff
Chris Jewett conducted lake-wiae inspections oT watercrafii storage on �ake Minnetonka. At ihat
Minnetonka time, five or more restricted watercraft were stored at our residential site. In follow-u
Steve Johnson Y P
Mound to that inspection, a letter was submitted to you with the intent to provide relevant and
Dennis Klohs current educational information to allow you to assess whether your dock and
Minnetonka Beach watercraft stora e confi uration was out of com liance, and, if so, to take the ste s
Jeff Morris 9 9 P P
Excelsior necessary to voluntarily bring the storage of watercraft into compliance with the LMCD
aiu oison Ordinances; with re-inspections pfanned for the 2008 boating season. Althouqh I have
Victoria documented that vou have communicated with the LMCD boat storaqe at the subiect
Kelsey Page
Greenwood site continued to be out of compliance with LMCD Code durinq the 2008 re-
Richard Siakel inspections.
Shorewood
Herb Suerth
Woodland In order to IegaNy store the same number of restricted watercraft that you had in 2007,
a multiple dock license would be required. To assess how many restricted watercraft
your site can store, the following information is enclosed:
• A copy outlining frequently asked questions relating to boat storage.
• An excerpt from LMCD Code Section 2.02, which is also found in its entirety on
the LMCD web site at http://www.lmcd.orq/paqes/Chapter2.htm.
• An educational flyer to help you assess your dock use area.
It is recommended that any prior communication pending with LMCD staff be
resolved as re-inspection of your site is planned in 2009 and beyond; starting in
Jurz. A�y�urther vio�a�ions will require me to turn this matt�r over to tMe LMCD
prosecuting attorney.
Please give me a call at 952-745-0789, so that we may review our prior discussion
as it reiates specifically to your property.
Sincerely,

Section 2 . 02 . Shoreline Requirements.
Subd. 1 . General Rule. No docks or mooring areas shall be
constructed, established or maintained that provide space for or
are used for mooring or docking a greater number of restricted
watercraft than one for each 50 feet of continuous shoreline in
existence on May 3, 1978, unless authorized to do so by special
density license pursuant to Section 2 . 05. For sites with
continuous shoreline greater than 100 feet, when measurements
determining the number of restricted watercraft allowed result in
the provision of a fractional restricted watercraft, any fraction
up to and including one-half (1/2) shall be disregarded, and
f�actions over one-half (1/2) shall be counted as one additional
restricted watercraft .
Subd. 2 . Special Rule for Sites in Existence on August 30,
1978. Unless a greater number is authorized by the provisions of
Subd. 1 above, up to two restricted watercraft may be moored or
docked at any dock or mooring facility that is located on a site
(as defined in Section 1 . 02) that was in existence on August 30,
1978.
Subd. 3 . Additional Watercraft Allowance in Certain Cases.
Unless a greater number is authorized by the provisions of Subd. 1
above, up to four restricted watercraft may be moored or docked at
a dock or mooring area located on any site (as defined in Section
1. 02) provided that all of the following conditions are met :
a) There must be one, and no more than one, single family
residential structure on the site. If there is no residential
structure on a site, any� one off-lake lot, parcel or other piece
of property that 1) is legally subdivided and recorded in the
office of the County Recorder; 2) adjoins the site or is separated
from the site only by a public right-of-way; 3) is under common
ownership and unified use with the site; and 4) is occupied by one
single family residential structure, may be designated to be a
part of one site by the owner, for purposes of this paragraph.
b) The dockage rights at the site are owned exclusively by
the owners of the lot parcel or other piece of property on which
the residential structure referred to in paragraph a) is located.
c) Al1 of the restricted watercraft moored or docked at a
dock or mooring at the site must be owned by and registered to
persons who live in the one residential structure referred to in
paragraph a) .
The homestead or non-homestead status of property for ad valorem
real estate tax purposes has no bearing on or application to this
subdivision.
The following is a Synopsis of the LMCD dock use area rules for residential properties (Section
2.01). For a full copy of the rules please see Chapter 2 of the LMCD Code or cal!the LMCD

Dock Use Area (Section 2.01 )
No person shall use any area of the lake outside an authorized "dock use area (DUA)", for
docks, moorings, watercraft; storage, swimming floats, ski jump storage, or diving towers unless
specifically permitted.
DUA Lenqth (measured from the 929.4 NGVD)
The length of a dock use area is equal to the property shoreline frontage width, with a
maximum of 100 foot dock length.
Sites in existence on February 5, 1970 with a lake frontage of 40-60 feet may have a �
dock extending up to 60 feet into the lake.
Sites in existence on February 5, 1970 with lake frontage of 40 feet or less may extend to
reach a water depth of 4 feet (not to extend beyond 60 feet).
DUA Width portion within setbacks measured from extended side property lines into the lake.
For that�portion of the length or authorized dock use area which extends from the shore:
0 - 50 feet 10 foot setback
50 - 100 feet 15 foot setback
ano ies re uire a 20-foot setback from the extended ro e lin
❖ Side opening slip (Boat parked parallel to shore) setback shall be at least equal to the slip

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a restricted watercraft?
A restricted watercraft is defined as any boat or vessel for use on or stored on the public
waters on the lake except for unrestricted watercraft. An unrestricted watercraft is
defined as a boat or vessel that is:
1) 16' or less in length and unmotorized; or
2) 16' or fess in length and which uses a motor of 10 horsepower or less; or
3) 20' or less in length and unmotorized, and which is propelled solely by human
power.
Most personal watercraft (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or similar) would qualify as a restricted �
watercraft (due to horsepower). A sailboat longer than 16' (motorized or un-motorized)
would also qualify as a restricted watercraft.
How manv boats can I store?
LMCD ordinances regulate the number of restricted watercraft that may be stored within
a Dock Use Area at a residential site. In summary, Section 2.02 provides for:
• Subd. 1: The General Rule is one restricted watercraft for each 50' (1:50') of
continuous shoreline; without reference to the owners being residents of the site; or
• Subd. 2: Unless a greater number is allowed by the 1:50' General Rule, up to two
restricted watercraft may be moored or docked at any dock or mooring facility on a
residential site in existence on Auqust 30, 1978; without regard to the owners being
residents of the site; or
• Subd. 3 (a-c): Unless a greater number is allowed by the 1:50' General Rule, up to
four restricted watercraft may be moored or docked at a dock or mooring area at a
site, provided a number of conditions are met. One of these conditions includes all
restricted watercraft mus# be owned and reqistered to the residents who live in the
one sinale-familv residential structure on the site.
Communication to your local municipality on your boat storage needs is highly
recommended as the most restrictive Ordinance applies.
