The number of watercraft stored at the Ket^h Kask subject sites' combined dock was identified as being out of compliance with Deephaven the attached approved variance (Findings of Fact and Order), dated April Dennis Klohs Minnetonka Beach 23, 2��3. Bill Olson Victoria Herb Suerth On the second page of the Findings, Section B, #2 and #3, outline your Woodland Dick Woodruff restricted watercraft density options for your consideration. LMCD staff has Shorewood been documenting the storage of five restricted watercraft. Therefore, you consideration is warranted as to whether you will decrease your watercraft density to four or apply for a multiple dock license with the LMCD. A restricted watercraft is defined as any boat or vessel for use on or stor-ed------- 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 less 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. Your efforts in maintaining the storage of the restricted watercraft within the variance requirements for the 2010 boating season and beyond would be greatly appreciated. A re-inspection will be completed this boating season to assure compliance. Non-compliance could provide for grounds for recision of the variance, as per LMCD Code Section 1.07, subd. 8. �a 5 Recycled Content Web Page Address: http://www.lmcd.org zo%Post Consumer Waste E-mail Address: Imcd�lmcd.org i Michael and Donna Wallace Jon and Janene Heidorn Page 2 Please know that the LMCD staff is always available to meet with you and answer any questions you may have. Sincerely, LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT C.� � �^r.� Emily Her an Administrativ� Assi�tantl�ode Enforcernent Encl: Wallace/Blomberg 4/23/03 Findings of Fact and Order w/Attachment CC: Andrew McDermott, LMCD Board Representative- Orono Mike Gaffron, Assistant City Administrator- Orono ! � LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT RE: APPLICATION OF MICHAEL AND DONNA WALLACE FINDINGS A public hearing was held on the application for dock length variance for Michael and Donna Wallace at 7:00 p.m. on April 9, 2003, at the Tonka Bay City Hall in the City of Tonka Bay, Minnesota. The subject property has approximately 100 feet of shoreline at elevation 929.4 NGVD. It is located on Maxwell Bay in the City of Orono at 3160 North Shore Drive. The hardship asserted by the applicant is shallow water. Information provided by the applicant indicates that at 130 feet from the shoreline water depth is 38.5 inches and at 150 feet from the shoreline depth is 47.5 inches. The Board finds the shallow water to be a hardship within the meaning of LMCD Code, Section l.07. The owners of the subject properiy have, for a nurnber of yeazs, operated a common dock with owners of property at 3180 North Shore Drive, owned by Paul and Beverly Blomberg (the`Blomberg Property"). By order dated October 9, 2002, the Board granted a variance for the Blomberg Property to 130 feet from the shoreline. The Board finds that granting a variance beyond 130 feet is not in the public interest given the fact that the adjacent property has a variance to 130 feet, and extending the dock beyond that length would have an adverse visual impact for adjacent and nearby properties. The applicants have indicated that they may wish to construct a single dock at the subject property or may wish to construct a common dock with the owners of the Blomberg Property. The Board finds that the variances hereinafter grante� are consistent with the spirit and intent of the LMCD Code of Ordinances. ORDER On the basis of the foregoing, IT IS ORDERED that the LMCD Boazd of Directors grants a variance to a length of 130 feet from the.shoreline at elevation 929.4 NGVD, to be constructed either as a single dock structure within the dock use area of the subject properiy or as a combined dock with the ovmers of the Blomberg Property in accordance with the following conditions: A. If the dock structure located at the subject property is constructed as a single dock, the dock shall meet all side setbacks specified in the LMCD Code and all docks and watercraft storage sha11 be located within 130 feet from shore and side setbacks established by LMCD Code. cu,z3os�� ix>>o-a � i B. If the dock at the subject property is located as a single common dock with the owners of the Blomberg Property, it shall be subject to the following conditions: l. Dock shall be constructed in strict accordance with the dock plan attached hereto as Attachment One and hereby made a part of this Order. 2. No more than four restricted watercraft as defined in the LMCD Code and no more than two canopies shall be stored beyond 100 feet from the shoreline at elevation 929.4 NGVD. 3. No more than the total combined number of restricted watercraft allowed at the two properties shall be stored at the common facility. If more than four restricted watercraft are stored at the facilities at the subject property and the Blomberg Property operated as a combined facility, the applicants must first secure from the Board a multiple dock license. The granting of these variances shall grant no vested rights to the use of Lake Minnetonka Such use shall at a11 times remain subject to regulation by the District to assure the public of reasonable and equitable access to the Lake.
