MINUTES _ MOUND CITY COUNCIL . NOVEMBER 22, 1994
The City Council of Mound, Hennepin County, Minnesota, met in regular session on Tuesday,
November 22, 1994, in the Council Chambers at 5341 Maywood Road, in said City.
Those present were: Mayor Skip Johnson, Councilmembers Andrea Ahrens, Liz Jensen, and
Phyllis Jessen. Councilmember Ken Smith was absent and excused. Also present were: City
Manager Edward j. Shulde, Jr., City Clerk Fran Clark, City Attorney Curt Pearson, City
Engineer John Cameron, City Planner Bruce Chamberlain, Building Official Jon Sutherland,
Finance Director Gino Businaro, and the following interested citizens: Jody & Dennis Emery,
Jeff & Sherry Zuccaro, Connie & Dennis Stahlbusch, Wanda Martens, Brad Blazevic, Sally
Custer, Nancy Clough, Harold Meeker, Brad & Sara Biermann, Alice Rogers, Ron Peterson,
Dave Willette, John Besseson, Bob Polston, Mark Hanus and Jerry Longpre.
The Mayor opened the meeting and welcomed the people in attendance.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
1.0 MINUTES
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Ahrens to approve the Minutes of the
November 9, 1994, Canvassing Meeting, the November 9, 1994, Regular Meeting,
and the November 15, 1994, Committee of the Whole Meeting, as submitted. The
vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.1 RECO~ATION OF _FINAL PLAT FOR TEAL POINTE.
City Planner, Bruce Chamberlain, reported that several weeks ago John Besseson, representing
Teal Pointe Development, submitted final plat hard shells, requesting that the City release the
final plat for Teal Pointe. It has been a number of months since the plat was approved. There
is some discrepancy in the Mound City Code regarding the amount of time the developer has
to file the final plat after City Council approval. This is the reason it is back before the City
Council this evening for reconfirmation. There is also one item that needs to be modified on
the final plat approval dealing with the time of construction. Under the original final plat
approval, construction would be completed within 180 days of the final plat approval, but
because of the time of year, the developer is asking for 280 days from the time the City Council
reconfirms the final plat. The developer has submitted a number of items to the City in regard
to the reconfirmation but the following items still need to be submitted before signing the final
plat which are:
1. Park dedication fee in the amount of $4,500.
2. Bond or letter of credit in the amount of $127,500.
Staff recommends approval of the reconfirmation and the modification proposed. One condition
should be added to the final plat approval, stating that the final plat should be filed at Hennepin
County within 60 days of the approval of the reconfirmation.
November 22, 1994
Mound City Council Minutes
Tom Casey, representing Biermanns, Rogers, Mr. Meeker and Ms. Clough, stated he has two
issues. 1. The legal status of the final plat.
2. The affect of this plat and this project on the property owners.
Mr. Casey stated that his comments will be on the legal status of the final plat. Some of the
neighbors may want to comment on the effect on their property. Mr. Casey then submitted a
letter/memorandum, dated November 22, 1994, to the City Council for the record. He then
stated that the final plat is void and was void 60 days after it was approved, as of July 10, 1994.
Mr. Casey stated that the hard shells needed to be received by the City before September 14,
1994, or one year after preliminary plat approval. Mr. Casey stated that since the final plat hard
shells were not received until just a few weeks ago, this did not meet the time lines for the plat.
He then stated that as he reads Mound's Code both the preliminary and final plat are now null
and void. This would require the developer to start all over again. Mr. Casey referred to the
following sections of the Mound City Code: Section 330:35, Subd. 1; and Section 330:35,
Subd. 9.
Mr. Casey further asked, "That since this development needs to start again, the City now has
time to correct its deficiencies in the original plat resolutions, i.e. reconsider the park dedication
fees based on a $200,000 market value versus a $45,000 market value (to gain another $15,500
in park dedication fees) by applying the ordinance correctly. The City could also do an EAW
which sets up an archaeological study, not done by the developer, who said for the record that
he only asked for the minimum archaeological study necessary. ~ Mr. Casey also stated that
even the Met Council recommended in their reply to the EAW that Lots 1, 2, and 3 be
unbuildable.
The Council stated that at the time of the EAW, the Native American Indian Council indicated
that they accepted the findings. The lots being unbuildable discussion was done at the time and
yes now they would be unbuildable, but then they were not.
The City Attorney noted that the reason this is back at the Council tonight is that the developer
did not do what they were supposed to do under the terms of the ordinance. It is therefore,
being brought back tonight, and it is his understanding from the planner and the Engineer, that
there have been no changes, no recommendations either on the ordinance or in the documents
that have been presented. He further stated that he would agree with Mr. Casey in one respect
and that is that it would be better if there was a public hearing just to satisfy that particular
question. The City can process both the preliminary and final plat at the same time. He stated
that he is not as concerned about Mr. Casey's comments about the one year on the preliminary
plat because once the final plat is submitted and approved, the preliminary plat is pretty much
ineffective. The only purpose of the preliminary plat is to run it through and then you make
changes so the developer can make changes to the hard shell and do whatever the Council has
asked. He advised the Council to hold a combined public hearing for the preliminary and final
plat.
The City Attorney stated that the City Code does need to be changed to make the time-lines
more clear.

Mound City Council Minutes
November 22, 1994
Jo[in/tesseson, representing the Teal Pointe Development, stated that he has worked with
City Staff and the neighbors on the retaining wall issue since May trying to eliminate the
retaining wall and work with the neighbors to landscape their property. He stated that
he has letters from his company to the neighbors on the issue. He stated he had several
meetings with the homeowners, one with the City Manager and City Engineer, and Mr.
Besseson determined that in working with the homeowners, they would not have to be
quite as concerned with the 60 day filing of the plat because he thought he could amend
it. After this meeting he contacted the neighbors and they said that after the meeting
with the City and discussing how it was going to affect them, they would be perfectly
happy with the retaining wall. The reason this was done was to give them a clear
understanding of how the site would impact the neighborhood. It took longer to deal
with the neighbors but he stated he wanted to be cooperative. The neighbors did not
want to go along with anything but what was on the plan. He stated that he it was his
understanding that a petition was signed not wanting any dirt spread on their property.
That was the problem for not getting back to the City in a timely manner. He further
stated that he would like to get into the property and put his steel pilings in, rough the
road in, do the class 5 grading, and be able to put the lift station and sewer in before the
ground is frozen. The only thing that may have to wait until Spring would be the
asphalt. He wants to be able to grade the site and make it driveable, stake the lots and
market them for Spring sales. He requested that his extension be approved tonight so
he could get on with the development.
The Council stated that they have to stand by the ordinance and require a public hearing.
MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Ahrens to refer Teal Pointe back to the
Planning Commission for their review and reconnnendation and then set a public
hearing for the City Council to consider the preliminary and final plat of Teal Polnte
for January 10, 1995. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
Harold Meeker, 5132 Waterbury Road, stated that the neighbors never agreed to the retaining
wall.

Auditor's Road Improvement Project. The City has been involved in the Mound Visions
· ,~uon rroject and the
program for about the last 3 years. This was developed because of a study done for downtown
Mound in 1990 and through the work of Bruce Chamberlain, Economic Develo men
Coordinator, a strategy for Mound Visions was prepared. This concept was to look at ?,r~ . t
o oaslc
areas of economic development, one in business cluster development, one in aesthetic or physical
improvements, and one in promotions. At that time the EDC (Economic Development
Commission) became the steering committee for the Mound Visions Program. It was under this
program that the downtown revitalization plan was developed. A promotional packet was
developed and implemented. A conceptual plan was then presented.
Phase 1 - Would be rerouting Auditor's Road which would take place at the same
time as the Lost Lake dredging project.
Phase 2 - Would deal with rerouting County Road 15 at Belmont taking it north to
Lynwood Blvd. then going west.
November 22, 1994
Mound City Council Minutes
In March of 1994, the City Council authorized submission of a grant application for the dredging
of the Lost Lake Canal. This application was sent to the federal government for Intermodel
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) funds under a program called Transportation
Enhancements. The City was successful in securing this grant for 1997. There will be about
a year to a year and a half of planning work, which involves not only physical planning but
engineering and environmental testing, soils work, etc.
The City Manager stated that the EDC is asking the Council for their endorsement of the project
and a proposed resolution was presented. The resolution addresses the two projects and
identifies the engineering and consultant fees that will be part of the project that are not funded
by the ISTEA grant. Cost estimates are a part of Exhibit A of the resolution.
City planner, Bruce Chamberlain, explained the 3 components of Phase 1 Downtown Mound
Redevelopment:
1. Lost Lake Canal.
2. Auditor's Road Improvement Project.
3. Auditor's Road Streetscape parkway.
Portions of the costs for the Auditor's Road Improvement Project will be paid with Municipal
State Aid (MSA) funding.
The City planner then reviewed his memo of November 17, 1994 with the Council. The
estimated fees described below are outlined by project, according to anticipated time of
expenditure: Lost Lake Auditor's Auditor's Rd. Est.

Mound City Council Minutes
November 22, 1994
Fees for round 3B have not been determined for the Lost Lake project because they are
services which would only be needed if project modifications based on permit denials
were required.
Fees for the Auditor's Road project would be 100% funded by Municipal State Aid funds.
This will not be known until the time the work is done.
A go/no go assessment will be made at the end of each round at which time the projects
could be stopped if there are insurmountable obstacles to completion.
The decision before the City Council at this time is the approval of design, administration and
associated professional fees apart from the actual construction costs.
The City Engineer explained what criteria would need to be met to receive MSA funding. He
and the City Manager w/Il work on this.
Jerry Longpre, member of the EDC, stated that this project could make Mound the commercial
center for this area. He thanked Bruce Chamberlain, City Planner, for his efforts in obtaining
the ISTEA Grant for the City of Mound. He stated that the EDC is excited about moving
forward with the project.
Johnson moved and Ahrens seconded the fo/lowing resolution:

Bruce Chamberlain, Economic Development Coordinator, explained that a Lost Lake Public
Relations Task Force has been put together to do the following:
1. Educate and capture the interest of the public, and
2. Get the community physically involved with the project before construction ever
begins.
Chamberlain then presented the Task Force's five objectives:
1. Create a master plan along with artist;s renderings for the Lost Lake site with
combined Park & Open Space Commission and Economic Development
Commission/Mound Visions input and oversight.

MOTION made by Jessen, seconded by Jensen to accept the Lost Lake Canal -
Public Relations Strategy as proposed by the Task Force directing that they go
forward with the plan and bring back cost information to the Council for further
review. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
1.8 APPROVAL OF 1995 DOCK LOCATION MAP.
Dock Inspector, Tom McCaffrey, reported that two changes to the map are proposed. The first
change is to delete Dock Site #33120 located on Stratford Lane, abutting 4536 Denbigh Road.
This land has eroded to the point where it has reverted to private lakeshore. The
recommendation from the POSC is to approve this deletion from the 1995 Dock Location Map.
The second change is to add two dock sites, #54970 and #56180, abutting Lost Lake Park. This
was requested by residents of the Lost Lake Addition. Staff has determined that there is
adequate space to allow the two additional dock sites in the area. The POSC voted not to
recommend approval of these additional two dock sites on a 1-5 vote.
Councilmember Jessen stated that when this subdivision was approved and the original 6 dock
sites were approved the LMCD was concerned about the number of docks the City of Mound
has on Lake Minnetonka and the increased boat traffic.
The Dock Inspector stated that all the dock sites available to Mound have not been assigned due
to erosion, a tree in the way, etc., so we would not be increasing the total number of docks
assigned to Mound by the LMCD.
The Council discussed the fact that even though the residents of the Lost Iatke Addition have
requested the additional dock sites, they are not reserved for the people of the Lost Lake
Addition. The docks would be assigned on a first come/first serve basis as of January 1st of any
8
Mound City Council Minutes
November 22, 1994
Councilmember Ahrens stated that at the POSC meeting it was pointed out that of the six sites
that are available on Lost Lake, all six are shared docks. She further stated that she will vote
against this because it sets a terrible precedent to start adding more dock sites to an area
particularly after the things that have come out of the direction that the LMCD is taking.
The Council discussed the fact, if approved, they are not increasing the number of docks Mound
has available overall and that with the dredging of the Lost Lake Canal there will be increased
boat traffic in this area which was a concern when the original 6 docks were approved in 1988.
They also discussed what has changed in six years i.e., more houses on Lost Lake, the water
was very low.
MOTION made by Johnson, seconded by Jensen to approve the 1995 Dock Location
Map with as proposed by the Dock Inspector with the following changes:
1. Removal of Dock Site//33120, at 4536 Denbigh Road because it has reverted
to private lakeshore due to erosion of the Shoreline.
2. The addition of 2 Dock Sites at Lost Lake Park, bringing the total dock sites
in this area to 8.
The vote was 3 in favor with Ahrens voting nay. Motion carried.

1.14 PIPER INVESTMENT LITIGATION
The City Attorney reported that Mound has an investment in Piper's Institutional Government
Portfolio Fund and there has been a reduction in the value of that investment. The Council
previously suggested that we review the possibilities and the alternatives available to the City
and those were discussed in detail, i.e. do nothing and see if the fund rebounds, sell the fund
and take the losses, try to work with Piper to make some arrangements, join the c/ass action
lawsuit, or to retain an attorney to COmmence an action or an arbitration. After discussion, the
Council's thought is to retain the services of Jerome S. Rice who has experience in the securities
field.

the City Attorney to negotiate to retain the services of Jerome S. Rice and to
investigate the possibility of commencing an arbitration action or Some other

CASE#94-73: HENNEPiN COUNTY DENIS BAILEY AND DOUG KRAAY 4977
WILSHIRE BLVD. VACANT LOT LOT 8 BLOCK 18 WYCHWOOD PID #24-117-24 14
0068. VARIANCE TO FENCE HEIGHT.
Building Official, Jon Sutherland, reviewed the City Planner's Report. Hennepin County is
seeking an after the fact variance for the height of a fence that was installed in August
adjacent to the Emerald Lake channel. City Code limits fences within 50 feet of the lake to
3 feet in height. The fence installed by Hennepin County is a six foot high chain link fence.
Because of topography and vegetation
Blvd. in the area, the fence is not readily visible from Wilshire
The fence is installed across both the County right-of-way and on private property, it is located
perpendicular to the retaining wall, is approximately 15 feet long, and has a locked gate. The
sole purpose of the fence is to prohibit pedestrian access to the County right-of-way and
adjacent privately owned property. Hennepin County's right-of-way includes a strip of land
approximately 8 feet wide, parallel to the roadway and bridge. The land between the County's
property and the lake is privately owned.
The public and private land, now blocked by the fence, has been a frequently used fishing site.
Hennepin County generally has a policy that allows fishing from public right-of-ways. This
area has been a source of problems for a number of years, principally pertaining to litter and
trespassing on private property.
Hennepin County is seeking a three foot variance for the installed 6 foot high chain link fence.
From their experience, a six foot high fence is necessary to reasonably control access to the ~
property.
The County's installation of the fence perpendicular to the wall is the least visually obtrusive
of the two fencing options considered. Short of anyone identifying a workable solution to the
litter and trespassing problems, approval of the fence height variance allowing the six foot high
fence seems to be the only viable alternative.
Clapsaddle clarified that the only issue at hand is the height of the fence. The Commission
reviewed previous fence height variance requests, and recalled that no other variances have
been granted for fences within 50 feet of the lake other than one which was for a dog kennel
which was only 45 feet from the lake and there were other special circumstances.
Doug Kraay, owner of the lakeshore abutting the County property, explained to the
Commission the problems they had with litter and trespassing. In his opinion, the reason for
the fence height restriction is sight, and this fence cannot be seen from the road.
The Building Official clarified that the view from the lake is also a consideration.
Daryl Frederickson, resident of Mound, explained to the Commission that he has been fishing
in this area for years. He questioned why the abutting owner, Doug Kraay, is the only person
that has access to the property. He also complained that the taxpayers are paying for a fence
located on private property.
Denis Bailey replied that the fence actually saves taxpayer's money because they do not have
to pay to pick-up the litter every week, and the present location of the fence is a better option
than installing 200 feet or more of fencing. He stressed that this was the most cost effective
solution to attempt to correct the problems. Bailey confirmed that this is a unique case where
a private property owner has exclusi
fishermen s ~ssue ~s with the ~ ..... v,e, access to County property. It w
to the County Board. C .... Ly. voss suggested that ~ .... as noted that the
,-,~,zur~s express their objections
MOTION made by Clapsaddle, seconded by Mueller, to recommend denial of the
fence height variance request.
Hanus suggested tabling the request. The Commission reiterated that the issue they are
reviewing is the height of the fence, not who should, or should not, be allowed to access the
property. Clapsaddle commented that there is no justifiable hardship to allow a 6 foot fence,
and the issues at hand are beyond their authority.
MOTION to deny carried 4 to 1. Those in favor were: Clapsaddle, Mueller,
Voss, and Hanus. Michael was opposed.

Doug and Dana Kraay
6221 Deerwood Drive
Mound, MN 55364
Dear Mound City Council Member,
My name is Doug Kraay and I am writing to you regarding case #94-73: Hennepin
County, 4977 Wilshire Boulevard (vacant lot), Lot 8, Block 18, Wychwood, PID
#24-117-24140068, variance to fence height which is on the December 13th agenda.
Let me start with a quick background of the situation. My wife Dana and I currently own a
home in Mound ana we purchased the lot described above in April of 1994, with the
intention of building on the lot in the spring of 1995. This summer we discovered that our
deeded lakeshore property was used by many people as a place to fish from. The
neighbors in the area of the lot asked us if we planned on doing anything about this.
They told us stories of people throwing litter into their yards, from beer cans to dirty baby
diapers. In addition, one of the neighbors, Mike and Paulette Maul, told us of people
urinating in their backyard and being loud and disruptive at night. They said police have
had to come to the parking lot twice this summer because of fights.
Due to this, we decided to post the property with "No Trespassing" signs. Th.e. se were.
torn down within 48 hours of beingput up. We then contacted the Mound Police ChieT,
Len Harrel, who told me he has had numerous complaints of trespassing in that area from
neiahbors. He could also remember there being a knife fight at the Wychwood Beach
par'~ing area some Years ago.At this time, I contacted the city to find out my options. I
was told that since this was a county road and the people were using county right-of-way
to access our private property, that it was a county issue. I then contacted approximately
seven different county agencies until I Was put in contact with Dennis Bailey of the
Environmental Protection Agency of Hennepin County. Dennis was familia~ with the area
in question and said it was one of the worst problem areas in the county as far as litter
goes. He also said it was an ongoing problem since he could remember (at least 15
years), and that the county spent on the average four man-hours per week cleaning the
area.
At this time, Dennis Bailey, Hennepin County, and myself, decided that it would be best to
put up a fence and close off the area to everyone, thus eliminating all of the problems and
the man-hours used by the county to clean the area and by the city of Mound Police to
police the area. Hennepin County Engineer, Vern Genslinger, was brought into the
picture and he decided that it would be the county that put up the fence with the
permission of the private landowner. During this whole process, I as the landowner,
offered to pay for whatever the county deemed necessary.
It is my understanding that Dennis Bailey tried to make every effort to contact the city of
Mound for permission to build the fence and for some reason was given the head of the
Parks Division who told him it would not be a problem.
After the fence had been in place for approximately two months, the city of Mound
received one complaint from an individual who used to fish there. At that time the city
contacted the county and ,r, eques!ed that they get an "after the fact" buildini:j permit..and
ask for a variance from a 3 to a 6 fence. I attended the planning commission meeting
with Dennis Bailey from Hennepin County, just in case they had any question~,for the
landowner. During the discussion of over one hour, the point of putting up a fence
instead of a 3' fence, was discussed no more than five minutes. The main issue
discussed was whether people should be allowed to fish from our deeded private
lakeshore. I truly do not believe that the planning commission fully understood that there
is no more than a total of 6' that is fishable county right-of-way and th~,t area is in the
channel where there is heavy boat traffic· Past experience shows that 95% of the fishing
in this area i~ done from our private property.
The variance request is for a 6' fence instead of a 3' fence. I understand that you would
not want to obstruct sight lines to the lake, and this fence does not do that. The fence
cannot be seen unless you walk up to the edge of the bridge and look for it. As for the
sightlines from the lake, this area of Emerald Lake .by the fence, is heavily infested with lily
pads and is only used by people going into the resioential channel.
The cit'v [:)lanner Mark Koegler who went out and visually inspected the fence and the
· '. - ...... coun's installation of the fence

~)r~o' 'l~i~'~n's","'~-of th'e fence height-variance allowing the 6' high fence seems 1:o De
the only viable alternative.".
I also spoke with Mound Police Chief Len Harrel again around November 16th, 1994. He
told me that since the fence has been in place he has had no complaints in that area and
that he would be for keeping the 6' fence should the city council ask for h,i ,s. opinio.n. Aisc,
the public parking area, which is meant to be used for the Wychwood puolic oeacn on
Cook's Bay, has always been more than full (to the point where cars are consistently
being blocked in by other cars) solely by people using the private property for fishinc, j.
Since the fence has been put up the lot has been emptier and used by the people WhO
use the beach as it was originally intended to be.
To this date, I have been able to speak to many of the neighbors in the area, including
Mike and Paulette Maul, Bob and Gen Carlson, Liz Jenson, Ernest and Michele
Rosenberg, and they have all been 100% in favor of the fence· They also have said that
sin,..'e the fence was put up, it has eliminated many problems of the past.
closing, I ask you to look at the land survey which I have enclosed and understand that
[~e only place county right-of-way touches the water is marked in yellow, and this area
the county wishes to cloSe to public fishing. Aisc, shouldyou wish to actually go to the
sight of the fence and would like to meet me there, I wouldgladly do that and explain the
entire situation. The neighbors in the Wychwood area, Hennepin COunty, Mound Police
Chief, and myself feel that this fence is the best solution to the problems. Please feel free
to contact me with any questions you may have, or if you would like to meet at the site of
the fence.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hennepin County Fence Height Variance
November 9, 1994
Page Two
The public and private land now blocked by the fence has been a frequently used fishing site.
Hennepin County generally has a policy that allows fishing from public right-of-ways. This area
has been a source of problems for a number of years, principally pertaining to litter and
trespassing on private property. According to the County, they have tried to address the problem
through signage and the placement of garbage containers on the site. The private owner has also
posted the property with signage. None of these efforts have been successful and the County
cites this area as being one of the worst maintenance areas around the lake.
After signs and garbage containers failed to address the litter and trespassing problems, the
County examined two fencing alternatives. The first option was to install approximately 200 feet
of fencing along the edge of the right-of-way line separating the public property from the land
that is privately owned. This option was not implemented because of increased maintenance
concerns from people throwing litter over the fence onto the privately owned land and due to
aesthetic concerns. Additionally, this alternative had a higher cost. Hennepin County elected to
install the fence blocking access to the entire area after obtaining permission to place a portion
of the fence on private property. Since the fence was installed, the City of Mound has received
one complaint from an individual who had previously used the area for a fishing access.
RECOMMENDATION: Hennepin County is seeking a three foot variance for the installed 6
foot high chain link fence. From their experience, a fence three feet in height will not preclude
access to the area. Six feet of height is necessary to reasonably control access.
]~T. his fence height variance is a unique case. The City of Mound has cooperated with the Lake'N
[ Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) in order to make the lake more accessible to the
[ general .public. Without question, Mound has more accessible lakeshore than any other
[ ~°ocr~s un~e7 th,,o~nl~sk~a_s ~a_r~e,s__u!t o,,f ow~n.,er,sh~p of the commons and the availability of commons
· . ~, cmun~trate tnet. Ary s commitment to maintaining public access. In this
case, however, Hennepin County is faced with a problem that has continued to exist despite their
~ ,passive efforts which have included signs and litter receptacles. Therefore, they have been forced
o prohibit access in order to alleviate problems.
/
The County's installation of the fence perpendicular to the wall is the least visually obtrusive of
the two fencing options considered. Short of anyone identifying a workable solution to the litter
and trespassing problems, approval of the fence height variance allowing the six foot high fence
seems to be the only viable alternative.

FENCE INSTALLED UNDER BRIDGE ON WILSHIRE BLVD. (COUNTY ROAD 125)
AND ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, PID #24-117-24 14 0068 (4977 WILSHIRE
BLVD.)
Dear Mr. Bailey:
On September 6, 1994 we received a complaint from a resident of Mound regarding a fence
that was erected adjacent to the bridge on County Road 125 and on 4977 Wilshire Blvd.
Also, during your phone conversation on September 6, 1994 with Peggy James, Planning &
Inspections Secretary, you informed her that the County installed the fence at the request of
the abutting owners to reduce the amount of litter, and you confirmed that the fence was
installed partially on County right-of-way and on private property.
The City of Mound requires a building permit for any fence. Please find enclosed Mound's
Fence Ordinance and permit requirements. Note that fences located within 50 feet of the
ordinary high water shall not exceed a maximum of 3 feet in height and shall maintain a see-
through visibility level.
A building permit application is enclosed for your use. Please submit the required survey/site
plan with your application. Also, please find enclosed a Variance Application form for your
use, if it is determined a variance is necessary.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or Peggy James. Your
immediate attention to this matter is appreciated.

Memorandum
DATE:
December 8, 1994
TO: Ed Shukle, City Manager
FROM' Jon Sutherland, Building Official
SUBJECT: Proposed Permit Fee Revision for Fire Protection Systems
The State Fire Marshal Division under Minnesota Statute 299M and Minnesota Rules
7512.0100 to 7512.2800, have been charged with regulating the fire protection
industry within the State. Either the State or the local municipality must issue permits
for fire protection systems. If the municipality issues permits, they are required to
provide competent plan review and inspections by a person trained in fire protection
systems.
Our existing fee schedule is out of date and does not cover the cost of administration
of the permit process. In order to maintain our permit process and continue to
regulate fire protection at the local level, we have obtained the services of a fire
protection consultant to supplement our current staff. These additional services result
in additional permit and plan review costs, and therefore, a need to adjust our permit
fee schedule.
The proposed code change is to have fire suppression permit fees charged the same
as building permit fees (note Exhibit A), which are based on the value of the work.
I have done a comparison of fees and found that other cities also consider fire
protection a building permit and apply the same UBC fee schedule. Utilizing this fee
schedule, the fees should cover the administrative costs and plan review fees for
processing fire suppression permits.
We are also proposing some minor re-formatting of Section 520 to better clarify the
Subdivision number of each section, and a modification to the Subd. 1.g.
"Surcharges." Within the existing Subd. 1.g., the State Statute is re-printed, we
propose to just reference the Statute number (note Exhibit B).
Proposed revisions to the City Code are attached for your review. If you have any
questions, please contact me.

Exhibit B
Minnesota State Statute
16B.70 SURCHARGE.
Subdivision 1. Computation. To defray the costs of administering sections 16B.$9
to 16B.73, a surcharge is imposed on all permits issued by municipalities in connection
with the construction of or addition or alteration to buildings and equipment or appur-
tenances after June 30, 197 I, as follows:
If the fee for the permit issued is fixed in amount the surcharge is equivalent to one-
half mill (.0005) of the fee or 50 cents, whichever amount is greater. For all other per-
mits, the surcharge is as follows:
(I) if the valuation of the structure, addition, or alteration is $1,000,000 or less,
the surcharge is equivalent to one-half mill (.0005) of the valuation of the structure,
addition, or alteration;
209
(2) if the valuation is greater than $1,000,000, the surcharge is $500 plus two-fifths
mill (.0004) of the value between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000;
(3) if the valuation is greater than $2,000,000, the surcharge is $900 plus three-
tenths mill (.0003) of the value between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000;
(4) if the valuation is greater than $3,000,000, the surcharge is $1,200 plus one-
fifth mill (.0002) of the value between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000;
(5) if the valuation is greater than $4,000,000, the surcharge is $1,400 plus one-
tenth mill (.0001) of the value between $4,000,000 and $$,000,000; and
(6) if the valuation exceeds $$,000,000, the surcharge is $1,500 plus one-twentieth
mill (.00005) of the value that exceeds $$,000,000.
Subd. 2. Collection and reports. All permit surcharges must be collected by each
municipality and a portion of them remitted to the state. Each municipality having a
population greater than 20,000 people shall prepare and submit to the commissioner
once a month a report of fees and surcharges on fees collected during the previous
month but shall retain two percent of the surcharges collected to apply against the
administrative expenses the municipality incurs in collecting the surcharges. All other
municipalities shall submit the report and surcharges on fees once a quarter but shall
retain four percent of the surcharges collected to apply against the administrative
expenses the municipalities incur in collecting the surcharges. The report, which must
be in a form prescribed by the commissioner, must be submitted together with a remit-
tance covering the surcharges collected by the 15th day following the month or quarter
in which the surcharges are collected. All surcharges and other fees prescribed by sec-
tions 16B.59 to 16B.71, which are payable to the state, must be paid to the commis-
sioner who shall deposit them in the state treasury for credit to the general fund.

November Monthly Report
There were two regular City Council Meetings and the Truth in
Taxation Meeting in November. There was agenda preparation,
packets, minutes, resolutions and follow-up items from each
meeting. Included in those items were the assessment lists that
were certified to the County. Also before the end of November all
the payments made on those assessments were sent to the County. Of
the $39,526.47 at the hearing, $6,167.48 was paid on delinquent
water and sewer bills and prepayment sheets (one on each property)
had to be prepared and submitted to Hennepin County.
Two cemetery lots were sold in November and several stake outs were
done by Public Works. All the transactions that happened in the
cemetery, i.e. sales of lots and burials have been submitted to the
City Engineer so that he can update the cemetery map.
of course, there was the November General Election which I think is
going to go on forever. As you know, we had a recount of the
School District Bond Referendum and that did not change the no's to
yes's so now an election contest has been filed in District Court.
I will keep you advised. The election itself ran very well with no
machine problems. The judges did a marvelous job. I got good
feedback from the election video we did this year and I feel it
really helped in the training.
There were the usual calls and questions from residents on various
items.

Parks
All seasonal employees are now gone. I will have one part-time person flood the skating rinks and help
with snow removal. This should begin in December.
With such a mild November, we were able to accomplish a few projects that have had to wait. A rack
was made to hold all the attachments for the bobcat. This took considerable time because it is made
of metal tubing and had to be welded. This will allow us to stack all of these attachments and give us
more storage room in the shop.
A chain link fence was installed next to the Island Park Hall with slates to create a visual barrier for
stored items.
Cemetery_
We had two burials in November. No damage was done over the Halloween weekend.
Trees
Five trees were removed from City property and one tree was marked hazardous on private property.
We also did a clearing of underbrush and downed dead trees next to the depot building at Mound Bay
Park.
This year we will still provide three small rinks at Three Points Park, Highland Park and Philbrook
Park. With the weather being so mild, we will not start flooding until December. Also, as last winter,
the lights will not be on for these rinks. We have seen so much vandalism of the time clocks that the
cost to repair was too expensive.
Docks
The Dock Inspector has begun doing rounds of all dock areas looking for proper storage of docks.

Sales for November were far above my expectations. I was greatly surprised
when the gross sales for the month totaled $118,851. I had previously thought that
we would just match the sales of November last year. As it turned out we were
$6,772 ahead of November 1993. We were also up by 275 more customers. Gross
sales to date are $1,330,773 compared to $1,284,111 at the same time last year.
Customer count to date is 101,491. Last year at this time we had 100,764.
Just out of curiosity, I looked back 10 years in our records to see what sort of
business we did for Thanksgiving and for the whole month of November. I had been
here for 5 months by then and I thought it would be fun to compare then and now.
On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 1984, sales were $6,501 and the customer
count was 607. In 1994, or the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we did $14,718
and the customer were 852. For the whole month of November in 1984, sales inched
just over $61,000. When I look over all of the other months in 1984, I see the same
pattern developing where we have doubled the sales since then. Does this mean by
the year 2004 we will be doing $2,734,000 in sales? Only time will tell.

NOVEMBER MONTHLY REPORT
.,STREET DEPARTMENT
We put up the Christmas decorations and set up for the Christmas tree lighting
and all went well. We have had some trouble with some of the street lights. We have
been going through quite a few bulbs. I talked with NSP and they have been out a
couple of times trying to find out what the problem is. They believe that the problem
may be the manufacturer of the bulbs. There maybe a defect in the filament in the
bulbs. NSP is checking into this and will report back to me.
Snow was pushed on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. It was not a good
experience for us. One of our vehicles hit a motorhome on Island Park on one of the
hills. This has been turned into the insurance company and the unit is being repaired.
We had one of our vehicles hit by a car on County Road 15, at the S curve. The
driver could not negotiate the curve and ran into the side of our dump truck creating
minimal damage. We had the dump truck repaired and sent the bill to the insurance
company.
All of the material for winter is now out at the joint Mound/Minnetrista site
including sand, rock and winter mix. We will be taking our watermain break debris out
there also this winter. We still have some woodchips and some fill at the old stock
pile at Lost Lake. We have to get rid of it next spring.

WATER DEPARTMENT,_
The new meter system is in place now. We have been reading Island Park now.
In December we will read Three Points and the Dutch Lake area. Everything seems
to be working better than it was a month ago. We are getting readings and printouts
now. I haven't heard of any major billing problems yet. We still have some
installations that we will be doing. Schlumberger is now gone from the project. We
met with them and the city engineer and we agreed on the number of installs that they
have done and what they will be paying us for the repairs and the installs that were
not put in during the project. We have some parts know. Jerry is tying up the loose
ends on the paper work. When the readings from the Three Points and Dutch Lake
area are complete and correct, we will start on the businesses. They need to be
hooked up into this new system starting during the winter.
SEWER DEPARTMENT_
Lift station upgrades are about 95% complete. We sent one punch list out and
there has been work done on that. We just made up a new one last week and
forwarded it to John Cameron with the remaining things that have not been completed
from the first punch list. We are anticipating this to be done before the end of
December. Hopefully, we can finalize the project in January. We do have a few
problems with electrical panels that has to be worked on and repaired. Other than
that, everything seems to be working pretty well for us.
MISCELLANEOUS
After the first snow fall, we replaced a few street signs and stop signs. Two
of the stop signs had to be replaced because someone stole the sign, post and all.
Basically, the signs had been hit by cars sliding in the last snowfall. The trackless
blower had to be repaired, it rusted through on cutting edge on the bottom of the
auger. Tim fabricated a new front end with a cutting edge. We did not get all of the
snow picked up along the sidewalks and this is why. It is running know.

NOVEMBER 1994 MONTHLY REPORT
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
There were 17 building permits issued in November for a construction value of $2,133,058,
bringing the year-to-date figure to $9,360,358. This months activity is mainly due to the new
addition and renovations at Shirley Hills Elementary School. There were 33 plumbing,
mechanical, and miscellaneous permits issued for a total of 50 permits this month.
PLANNING & ZONING
There were eight planning and zoning cases processed by the Planning Commission and City
Council. Teal Pointe was sent back to the Planning Commission by the Council due to
expiration of the submittal date. An operations permit was approved for PXC Corporation to
operate in the Balboa Building. There were the usual variance cases and a public lands permit
request.
One of our Planning Commissioners, Mark Hanus, was elected to the City Council! Mark
brings with him some good experience in dealing with our zoning cases and ordinances. The
Commission is now looking for a replacement. All interested persons should contact Peggy
James at 472-0600.
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER (CSO) ACTIVITY
A new computer generated report is included this month. This report details total contacts,
and was developed by CSO Maki. This system can give a quick update or past history of a
complaint, and should be useful in supplying activity information to the Council in the future.
CSO June Hyland submitted her resignation after 10 plus years of employment with the City.
The best of luck to June in her new job!

Computer Symposium
The 13th Annual Minnesota Computer and Information Management
Symposium was held on November 9-10, 1994 at the Radisson South Hotel.
The City Manager and I attended as many sessions as possible.
It is a way for us to keep current on what is going on in the area
of computers in government, new technology, computer applications, and
the management of computer recourses. The future has a lot of new
things in store for computers and related technology and it is becoming
imperative that we keep ourselves informed and become aware of the
opportunities that computer technology offers to government.
Water Meter System
Finally in November things started to fall in place and the new water
meter system appears to be completed. Even the software necessary
to transmit data between the existing system and the new one seems
to work to our satisfaction. The vendor is still obligated to assist us
until we complete a full cycle of billing. It is our intent to make final
payment to the vendor only when we are completely satisfied with the whole
installation of the system.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
1. WATER STRUCTURES, Chair Babcock
Draft Ordinance to Establish a Special Rule for Continuous Shoreline
of Dock Use Areas in Close Proximity, recommending review as
amended.
Babcock stated the committee has recon~mended review of this
ordinance as amended in committee. He noted there was no
recommendation from the committee, inviting board discussion.
Foster questioned what this ordinance was attempting to accomplish.
Babcock said this ordinance was prepared as a result of the review
of a multiple dock license application by Boyer Building Corp.,
LMCD Board of Directors Minutes, October 26, 1994, Page 2
Pelican Point, Mound. He explained that the island associated with
the property was at one time attached to the shoreline and a channel
dredged sometime in the mid 1910's. The applicant is now requesting
40 slips on the mainland shore. In order to accomplish this the
applicant needs to count shoreline from the island in order to
achieve enough shoreline footage to store 40 boats on the mainland.
The ordinance was drafted in response to committee recommendation
that an ordinance be prepared that would allow transfer of shoreli~e
footage and the density associated with the shoreline footage of the
island to the actual shore side of the parcel. The ordinance
provisions will accommodate the needs of this application with
limits on any similar application to control growth of shoreline
density.
Johnstone questioned what the particular unresolved issues in
committee were regarding this draft ordinance.
Babcock said the open issue in committee was the definition of
wetlands. Determining a wetland definition and whether shoreline
density should not be transferred if wetlands are involved.
Babcock believes the wetlands definition in MN State Statutes Sect.
103G.005 is not applicable in this case.
Babcock said the Federal Government has wetlands defined as Type !
through 8. These could possibly be adopted into this provision, but
the committee did not come to a concenses on which of the types if
any, could be adopted. '
Zwak pointed out that Lake Minnetonka communities have areas
designated as wetlands, as does Greenwood which he represents. He
asked if other communities have similar areas defined as being
wetlands, could not the LMCD use that same designation?
LeFevere stated that Lake Minnetonka is a wetland.
Foster expressed concern that this would be a significant change in
the philosophy of the LMCD by allowing boat storage on the shorel~ad
from a non-contiguous parcel. Foster recommended referring the
proposed ordinance back to committee.
Babcock responded that currently the code allows density from non-
contiguous parcels to be combined. The proposed ordinance includes
very specific stipulations to protect board application of transfer.
Reese agreed the ordinance is drafted to be very specific and that
it would be very hard to conceive of another multiple dock license
being identical. Reese further noted that Boyer Building proposed
dock configuration would maintain the beauty of the island's natural
state indefinitely. As a Mound resident for 27 years, Reeve added
there have been numerous proposals to utilize this land. This is
the best use of this property. Boyer Building Corp is responsib]=.
The city approved plat does not destroy the island aesthetics.
Zwak concurred with Reese.
LMCD Board of Directors Minutes, October 26, 1994, Page 3
Foster questioned whether this proposed ordinance is site specific
and not applicable to any other location on the lake.
Babcock said the board needs to be aware that this ordinance would
allow a new form of density shifting in a very limited situation.
The committee could not agree that this ordinance was 100% site
specific.
Babcock further reviewed for the board that the license application
originally presented (in July) to the committee was for 40 docks on
the mainland shore with no other proposal to consider. The
applicant now offers optional dock plan configurations. One option
put 28 slips on shore and 12 slips on the island. This would
achieve 40 slips for the applicant and meet the current LMCD Code.
Babcock suggested referring the ordinance back to committee. The
board could assure the applicant that they are entitled to the 40
slips at this location. The committee could work on a way to
clarify the provisions of the ordinance, and the applicant could
change their site plan at a later date.
LeFevere suggested the board might be satisfied to allow other
similarly situated applicants to transfer the density. Among other
things the committee has recommended and included in the ordinance
that neither the transferee or the transferor site can be wetlands.
This provision would take care of a lot of the situations where
there is swampy low land where the 929.4' line is difficult to
determine. The site from which the density is transferred can only
transfer 1 boat for every 100 feet of shoreline, giving up all of
its dockage rights. This eliminates all density from the transferor
site. In order to reduce the impact occurring on the transferee
site, the density limit is one boat per 35 feet of shoreline. This
is more permissive than 1 per 50 but more restrictive than the 1 per
10' that would be allowed with a special density license. Also, the
requirement that no variances be allowed at the transferee site
eliminates some situations where density would be transferred to an
unusual piece of shoreline property.
LeFevere further noted that this ordinance should not be viewed as
site specific in the sense that this is the only applicant that may
ever qualify. Another applicant with similar circumstances would be
entitled to the same consideration.
Babcock said he finds this ordinance is not restricted to islands.
It applies to shoreline within 150 feet.
Johnstone suggested the board might consider adopting the ordinance
at this meeting, waiving the readings.
Babcock suggested the board could approve the application
conditional upon the adoption of the ordinance.
Foster suggested that the ordinance first reading be adopted, not
waiving the additional readings, for further committee review.
LMCD Board of Directors Minutes, October 26, 1994, Page 4 --
Partyka expressed concerns of trying to create an ordinance that is
site specific and that "wetlands" be defined.
LeFevere agreed with the idea of defining wetlands. He understands
that in this particular case the shoreline is not involved with
wetlands. It would be possible to proceed with this ordinance and
then provide a definition of wetlands at a later date.
Grathwol concurred and said that the board in general shares his
ideas of protecting and preserving certain types of wetlands within
the lake. He voiced his support for this ordinance on the basis
that continued efforts be made to define "wetlands"
McGlasson questioned why the board does not consider granting a
variance versus passing new legislation.
LeFevere stated the Code requires 1 boat per 50 feet of continuous
shoreline. If the shoreline is not continuous, granting the
variance would create a possible politically difficult precedent
without the standards to apply that would be created by the adoption
of an ordinance. The ordinance would define the circumstances under
which shoreline density would be granted.
LeFevere recommends the board not approve the Boyer Building
application until restrictive covenants and easements are in hand
and reviewed by the board and cannot be amended without board
approval.
MOTION: Reese moved, Foster seconded to adopt the ordinance and
waive the readings, subject to continuation of wetlands definitio~.
VOTE: (5) ayes (5) nays - Motion failed
LeFevere noted that 8 votes are required to pass an ordinance.
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Partyka seconded for approval of first
reading to refer back to committee for further study to develop a
definition of "wetlands".
VOTE: Motion passed; (7) ayes, (2) nays
BOYER BUILDING CORP. new multiple dock license application for
Pelican Point Development, Spring Park Bay, City of Mound.
John Blumentritt, Boyer Building Corp., presented four dock
configurations to the board. Some were presented to the City of
Mound and to the DNR. Blumentritt said their plan is to build 40
twin homes in 20 buildings. Thus the request for 40 slips, one for
each home. The original dock plan, Plan A, was to transfer 12 slips
from the island to the mainland, leaving the island in its natural
state, the multiple dock plan on the northeast side of the mainland.
Blumentritt reviewed the alternative dock plan configurations.
Plan B was presented. It would create 28 slips on the mainland and
LMCD Board 0f Directors Minutes, October 26, 1994, Page 5 .-
12 slips on the island. This plan is within the 100' limit. This
plan requires residents to go out to the island to reach their boat.
Plan C would locate 28 slips in the northeast location, configuring
12 slips off the mainland to the south. This plan is also within
the 100' limit.
When asked by the board, Blumentritt stated that Plan A is their
plan choice. The City of Mound also supports this plan.
Grathwol questioned the maximum and minimum water depths associated
with the slips in Plan A.
Foster also expressed his concerns for boats which would have 28" to
36" water depth level for maneuvering into slips at 929.4' Water a
foot or so lower, before the 928.0' temporary low water variance
would apply, would make boat maneuvering almost impossible.
John Boyer said that 8 to 10 home owners would probably not own a
boat, so some of the slips may not even be used, or used for fishing
boats or small watercraft. He agreed that the depths may not be
deep enough when the lake level gets near 928.0'. In that case, six
or seven slips may have to be moved to a deeper location.
Babcock noted that this entire shoreline is an outlot. It has
easement rights for association boat storage. As a result, if the
board approved this 40 slip configuration the slips could be moved
if necessary to accommodate a low water situation.
Zwak concurs that the board cannot anticipate every possible problem
that may occur in the next few years. The fact that the lake moves
up and down is a given and the board can deal with these situations
as they arise. He feels the present dock configuration being
proposed, based on the water level that presently exists, appears to
be accurate for the amount and types of boats expected to be
occupying these slips.
Bloom expressed concern that these slips be used by the occupants of
the homes versus the Slips be rented to a non-resident.
LeFevere said that boat storage complying with the shoreline rule of
1 boat per 50 feet of shoreline, at the time this rule was adopted,
meets the most strict requirements of the Code. The Code does not
require ownership or occupation by anyone in particular. Within the
1 boat per 50 foot rule, the board determined it was not going to
get into the issue of who owned the boats.
LeFevere expressed his concern that the future townhome owners
understand what their rights and obligations are under this
ordinance and to assure that all requirements are acknowledged in
the covenants.
Boyer said that rental of slips is not an issue. It will not be
allowed in the covenants. Since the ordinance will be brought
LMCD Board of Directors, October 26, 1994, Page 6
forward next month, he suggested if the board wants to act favorably
on this application at this time the question of covenants would be
subject to board review and approval.

Members Present: Bert Foster, Deephaven; James Grathwol, Excelsior;
Joseph Zwak, Greenwood; Wm. Johnstone, Minnetonka;

Howards Point Marina, South Upper Lake, Shorewood, new multiple
dock license to change dock width - - walkway from 4' to 6' and gas
dock from 7.25' to 10' and extending gas dock length from 40' to
60', for safety upgrade, recommending as minor change, no public
hearing;
Babcock invited committee questions or comments on this application.
Foster questioned whether the applicant had submitted a lighting plan.
Jerry Brecke, president, Howards Point Marina, responded to committee
that there are presently no lights on the docks. There are, he said,
some lights on the shore that have existed for as long as their group
has owned the property.
MOTION: with no further committee discussion, Zwak moved, Reese
seconded to approve the new multiple dock license as submitted.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
5. Envelope Concept Subcommittee Report of 11/2/94 for discussion and
recommendation.
Babcock asked for committee approval to proceed with this item due to
the presence of interested parties. The committee consented to proceed
with agenda Item 5.
Babcock referred to the report from the subcommittee with
recommendations proposed to the Water Structures Committee.
Reese questioned whether the word legal had been added in relationship
to non-conforming sites. Babcock noted that a bullet point on P. 4
reads "All the discussions assumed that a non-conforming site was a
legal non-conforming site. The subcommittee in no way wished to
condone illegal non-conforming sites, nor did it wish to allow them the
ability to reconfigure under the proposed changes."
Reese questioned whether this text would carry over to the final draft.
Babcock responded that it is his intention that this text carry over to
the final draft. Babcock also said that in addition, on page 1 in the
WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE, 11/12/94, Page 2
Overall Summary, "legal non-conforming" was also added in the first
paragraph.
The manner of slip measurement was questioned by Reese.
Babcock stated that the subcommittee consensus was to recommend square
footage. He referred to page 5, 3rd bullet.
Reese favored the use of lineal measurement.
Partyka favored that the use of square footage.
Babcock noted that the multiple dock licenses have a slip inventory
report with slip dimensions.
Gabriel Jabbour, Orono, offered background information. He stated
that this envelope concept is hopefully the conclusion of committee
meetings originating as the result of the fee schedule challenge
started in the fall of 1992. Previous board members Scott Carlson and
Dave Cochran thought it would be a good idea to discuss ways under
which marina and multiple dock owners could work together with the
board for streamlining several multiple dock issues a~-d un,~erstanding
why the current rules are as they are.
Jabbour added that the concern to the multiple dock owners and
presumably the board is the number of boat storage units (BSU's) and
the overall length of boats. Some four years ago state law did not
allow t-wing a boat on the road over eight feet wide without a wide
permit. The law is now changed to 8-1/2 feet. At the present time
there are a lot of marinas that wish to go to wider slips by a half
foot.
Babcock noted that the envelope concept will mainly affect non-
conforming sites. Conforming sites already have the ability to
reconfigure without regards to slip length or slip width. The basic
premise is that conforming sites can reconfigure and change slip sizes.
Non-conforming sites are prohibited from changing (increasing) slip
sizes under the current LMCD ordinances, (See Sect. 2.05, Subd. 9)
without a special density permit.
Babcock further pointed out that the code would not allow a 40'x 20'
slip and a 20'x 10' slip to be reconfigured to two 30'x 15' slips. Tke
code would allow a 40'x 20' to be reduced to a 30'x 15' but it would
not allow a growth in any slip sizes. This is where the envelope
concept applies allowing some trade-off to occur between big slips and
small slips to meet the market conditions as the subcommittee has
recommended as long as the total square footage of the slips remains
the sa~e or decreases.
Zwa'k questioned why, as long as BSU's dos not increase within the
envelope, the LMCD cares whether slip measurement is by square feet or
lineal.
35"
WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE, 11/12/94, Page 3
Babcock responded that in the case of a commercial marin~ where 1:3 or
even 1:10 density exists, a problem does not exist. The problem exists
in (homeowner) facilities that have a density of 1:35 or 1:40 (where
1'50 is the maximum allowed), where the envelope is a small subset of
what is available in the total dock use area. If widths are allowed
increase, the result is an expansion of a facility within the dock use
area.
Foster advocated square footage for slip measurement. He believes this
will allow LMCD to control potential expansion of already non-
conforming facilities. Foster continued that non-conforming marinas
should not be expected by LMCD to conform to the current ordinances.
They supply a needed service.. LMCD should state that these are
legitimate operations and are not expected to conform to the current
code. Non-conforming marinas should be given an envelope so that they
can meet the needs of the marketplace in terms of the boats to be
served. The envelope should not allow non-conforming marinas to
expand, however.
Jabbour noted that marinas currently are staying status quo. They are
not coming forward to reconfigure to meet market demands, do ADA
requirements, or meet safety measures because an application to
reconfigure a non-conforming dock triggers the LMCD to re-examine
their non-conforming status. He said the intent is not to get more
density. He supports any mechanism to prevent that from occurring.
Suerth commented that there are boat beams in the Groveland Homeowners
group at the present time that create problems. New boats are coming
in that are not longer but are 6" wider. If lifts are put in a slip
another width problem is created. There could be a problem with boats
on the lake that are probably going to change from the normal beam of
96 inches to 102 inches. Suerth believes it is presently happening and
will continue to happen creating the need for wider slips.
Babcock responded that non-conforming sites have the ability to make
changes as long as there is no increase in slip size and no increase
boat storage units.
Foster expressed concern that boats increasing in size from
an 8' width to a 10' width, while not increasing in length,
will result in a substantial increase in the size of the facility
without increasing the number of boats'or the length of the boats.
Paul Pedersen, Grays Bay Marina, commented that all of the marinas h3ve
already maximized their envelope use. Whether measured by square
footage or lineal footage, any re-configuration would be for additio~l
width, because of the age of the facility. He believes square footage
versus lineal has the same net effect.
Johnstone believes LMCD kas a legitimate interest in controlling the
growth of boat sizes on the lake.
WATER STRUCTURES COM/~ITTEE, 11/12/94, Page 4
Foster responded that going from 8' width to 8-1/2' is an issue. He
thinks that a larger issue is the 25' to 26' boats that have been 8
feet wide and are now 10 feet wide.
Babcock pointed out that the purpose of the envelope is to allow
reconfiguration, but by settling for fewer BSU's in exchange for larger
slips resulting more square footage. (i.e. five 8'x 20' (800 sq.ft.)
traded for four 9'x 24' (864 sq.ft.).
Jabbour added that he does not think he will reconfigure. He foresees
a trend of re-configuration from larger slips to smaller slips.
Pedersen noted that he would favor of lineal slip measurement. This
makes a less restrictive allowance giving more flexibility without
diminishing control.
Babcock noted that the majority vote in subcommittee favored square
footage.
MOTION: Foster moved, Johnstone seconded, to adopt the Envelope
Concept Subcommittee Report as recommended by the subcommittee for
board review and adoption.
Reese moved, Grathwol seconded to amend the Envelope Concept
Subcommittee Report using slip length as the measure.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT:
Amendment failed.
Ayes, (2) Suerth and Reese,
nays, (7);
VOTE ON MOTION: Ayes, (8), nays, (1) Suerth. Motion carried.
Ross McGlasson, Tonka Bay, left the meeting at this point.
Draft Ordinance to Establish a Special Rule for Non-continuous
Shoreline of Dock Use Areas in Close Proximity, continuing the
wetlands definition review and to recommend the second reading;
Babcock called attention to a staff recommendation of 11/3/94 regarding
the Wetlands Provision of the Draft Ordinance, reviewed and concurred
with by Grathwol, to drop Sub. Para e) "Neither transferor site nor
transferee site may have shoreline comprised in whole or in part of

3. Draft ordinance amending Sect. 2.07, Temporary Structures, for
third reading recommendation;
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Zwak seconded to recommend the third reading.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
4. Addition to Draft Ordinance to Establish Planned Usage Development
Procedures and Standards and a Definition for Public Piers, adding
a new item "m" to Public Pier Standards, Subd. 3. per Chair Babcock
memo of 11/3/94.
Babcock noted that the reason this ordinance was referred back to the
committee from the board was that the board agreed overnight boat
storage was not to be a part of the public pier, and this amendment
would prohibit overnight storage from occurring.
Scott Richards, Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. questioned
whether this would put restrictions on the City of Excelsior's public
docks, specifically charter boats.
Foster said that the Excelsior public docks are licensed for transient
use only.
Babcock said he is a proponent of adding public amenities as part of
the public pier PUD. He suggested the idea of an amenity for a given
amount of dock footage. Some committee members did not agree with tt~is
idea.
Grathwol views a public pier as an amenity in itself. He would rather
not see public fishing, charter boats, etc. being required for a
public pier.
Partyka suggested including a possible list of amenities, but not
requiring amenities.
MOTION: Zwak moved, Johnstone seconded to'add item m), "Overnight boat
storage is not allowed at any location along the pier," for inclusion
in the draft for the public hearing.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
Johnstone expressed the importance of making an extra effort to try to
get public participation for this hearing, eliciting response fi'om the
cities, the LMLOA, the Minnesota Sportsfishing Congress, and mu tiple
dock owners.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS:
Reese asked for a discussion on the RDP Partners/Yacht Club multiple
dock license. He stated that there were 31 slips approved but the
docks have not yet been built because of building delays. He feels
WATER STRUCTURES COMMITTEE, 11/12/94, P. 6
this is the wrong development in the wrong place, and the license
should be put on hold pending resolution of a traffic density issue he
believes exists..
Johnstone said that if material changes have occurred, the licensee
needs to re-apply. He suggested to the committee that due to the lack
of information being presented, this issue does not warrant committee
discussion at this time.
Chair Babcock closed the discussion.

1. Reconsideration of the draft ordinance, Section 3.07, Watercraft for
Hire, adding Coast Guard Safety Standards in new Subdivision 5
through 10 to resolve difficulties relating to railing heights as
expressed by some charter boats for hire.
chair Foster advised the committee that he had reviewed this topic with
some charter boat operators prior to the meeting. He indicated that
LMCD has not had a railing height ordinance requirement- He stated
that the Water Patrol asked the LMCD to enact ordinances to regulate
charter boats in certain areas not now regulated.
Foster believes the Coast Guard standards make it difficult for non-
commercial boats to qualify as charter boats. Foster recommended that
the committee eliminate the railing height requirement. He believes
Lake Minnetonka is a much safer than the waters for which Coast Guard
standards are designed. He maintained that LMCD should allow charter
boat access to as many citizens as possible.
MOTION: Reese moved, Rascop seconded to delete the 36" railing height
provision in Subd. 10, Section 3.07.
DISCUSSION: Safety concerns for adequate railing heights were expressed
by Grathwol and Partyka.
Foster indicated he sees the issue as the distinction between
requirements for boats manufactured for commercial vs. personal use.
He understood there are two watercraft built for commercial use on Lake
Minnetonka. These boats were built for standards similar to those
required by the Coast Guard regulations. The others were built for
personal use. Foster stated the others do not meet Coast Guard
standards. They are currently in use as charter boats.
Strommen referred to the 11/21/94 staff memo. The memo outlined three
alternatives for dealing with charter boats that have a problem meeting
the deck railing height provision, namely:
1) A 30" deck railing height, recommended by the Water Patrol;
2) Grandfather current licensed charter boats for less than a
30" deck railing height; This raises a question on
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 11/28/94, P. 2
3)
inconsistency for safety if some must comply, others not.
Allow special provisions to accommodate mid and upper
level deck railings at lower heights;
VOTE ON MOTION= Motion carried, with one nay (Grathwol)
2. Refunds- Special Events and Special Requests (Moved ahead on the
agenda with an affected party in the audience.)
b. Strommen outlined the request from Chuck Gross on the requested
refund for the Elizabeth Ann Charter Boat. He recommended a
refund of $175, excluding a $75 charge for administrative costs
for processing of the application.
MOTION:
Reese moved, Grathwol seconded to recommend the refund $175
per the staff memo. Motion carried unanimously
ao
The full special event deposit refund of $100 to the Viking
Bassmasters was recommended by staff.
MOTION:
Grathwol moved, Partyka seconded to recommend refund of the
$100 deposit. Motion carried unanimously.
Ce
A staff memo outlined the request from Excelsior Park Tavern for
a refund of their deicing application since they later
determined the~ will not deice this Winter. He recommended a
refund of $187.50, excluding $37.50 in administrative costs.
MOTION:
Reese moved, Rascop seconded to recommend refund of the
deicing license fees of $187.50, excluding $37.50 in
administrative costs. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Review of state DNR laws regarding observer requirements for towing
persons as related to LMCD Chapter III, Section 3.10, Subd. 1.
Committee member Joseph Zwak arrived.
Reese opened the discussion by proposing a public hearing to get
feedback from persons viewing the ordinance change to remove the
observer requirement while towing water skiers as necessary. He
distinguished between towing tubes and other devices and water skiing
and how the two activities are totally different. He clarified that
the observer change he supports would apply only to water skiing.
Foster concurred that there is a difference between the two activities.
He suggested rules may be in order to manage or control tube and other
device towing. He described the nature of tube towing is to create
wakes for the tuber to become airborne. He finds that this behavior
can create havoc for other boaters. Foster supported establishing a
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 11/28/94, P. 3
sub-committee to investigate restricting tube towing in some fashion.
Zwak expressed reservations concerning restrictions on tube towing. He
felt that there could be negative public sentiment against the LMCD if
it restricted tube towing. Zwak added that he is not in favor of
eliminating the observer ordinance.
Suerth indicated that the Woodland City Council is not in favor of
amending the observer ordinance. Suerth would favor holding a public
hearing on the subject.
Committee consensus questioned if a public hearing would draw a
balanced representation on the subject.
Strommen proposed that an outline be drafted on specific conditions
involving how the observer ordinance would be amended before a public
hearing would be called. He pointed out some of the issues which were
identified in his memo of 11/21/94.
Partyka is concerned about safety. He suggested issuing special
permits to qualified water skiers for certain hours and bays.
McGlasson added his concern about balanced public representation in a
public review of this proposal. Grathwol suggested the idea of
eliminating all towing on weekends which would attract all interested
persons involved in towing to attend such a public hearing.
Strommen pointed out an ordinance change for 1995 would affect existing
supplies of LMCD summer rules, about $3,000 in printed value now in
inventory. He is concerned about making them obsolete. Hennepin
County is also now working on the reprinting the Lake Minnetonka maps.
Foster appointed a subcommittee of Mike Bloom, Tom Reese and Gene
Partyka to work with the executive director to draft details to include
ordinance changes in the observer requirement for towing.
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Zwak seconded to recommend a public hearing be
held prior to the Lake Use Committee at 5:30 p.m., Monday, January 16,
1995 to consider public comment concerning changes in the observer
requirements related to towing persons on Lake Minnetonka.
DISCUSSION: Foster indicated that the subcommittee draft would be
circulated among committee members for comment prior to the public
hearing.
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
Partyka left at this time.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 11/28/94, P. 4
4. Mennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol request for LMCD
recommendation on a permit request of Albert Livingstone and Merge
Fradenburgh, Plymouth, to conduct a special event involving a for-
hire para-sail activity on Gideons Bay and Lower Lake South.
Foster introduced applicant A1 Livingstone. A five minute video shown
by Livingstone illustrated a variety of para-sailing methods including
the proposed Nordic Winch Boat method.
Concerns and questions concerning the proposal were directed to
Livingstone. The size of lake area required, boat noise level,
operating speed while towing, and the operator's familiarity with the
lake were among the points raised.
Key items discussed with the applicant:
1. Base of operations would be from the Excelsior Park Tavern,
Excelsior Bay.
2. Watercraft speeds are generally in a seven to twelve mph range
since the boat moves into head winds for greatest air speed.
Towing with the wind at faster boat speeds consumes too much fuel.
A zig-zag travel pattern also helps keep forward movement slow.
3. Six persons are on board the boat taking turns at ten minute
flights, total time out being about 1.25 hours per trip.
4. The normal area occupied for towing the 400' to 600' line is
about 100 sq. yds.
5. Towing during the week, Monday through Thursday, could be
considered in portions of Lower Lake South and Lower Lake North.
6. Weekend towing, Friday, through Sunday, could only be
considered in a less dense boating bay such as Lafayette Bay.
The committee agreed to recommend the board hear the request provided
that a more detailed plan is submitted including days of operation,
hours of operation, bays to be used, towing relationship to wind
direction, and other related aspects of the operation. The board's
role is to make a recommendation to the Water Patrol. The Water Patrol
now has the authority to make the final determination on special events
MOTION: Reese moved, Rascop seconded to have the applicant present his
para-sail video and amended proposal to the board for educational
purposes and a possible recommendation to the Water Patrol.
DISCUSSION: McGlasson noted that the Water Patrol does not recommend
this special event. He is curious as to why they took this position.
He is not ready to take it before the board.
Strommen indicated that it is possible for Livingstone to resolve the
Water Patrol objections prior to the December 7 board meeting. The
board could then make its evaluation based on that outcome.
LAKE USE AND RECREATION COMMITTEE, 11/28/94, P. 5
VOTE: Motion carried unanimously.
4. Lake Access Task Force Report implementation per staff outline.
Foster indicated he would report on this item at the next meeting.
5. 1994 Boat Density Study,
The Boat Density Study was not circulated to the committee prior to the
meeting since it was not received from the contractor, Clear Air, Inc.,
until 11/23, Strommen noted. Foster advised he had not been able to
fully review the report to comment on it at this time. It is intended
that the board will be provided copies for the December 7 meeting for
comment at that time. The contractor will complete its contract with
LMCD on the report in December as part of a 1994 budget program,
Strommen further noted.
MOTION: Grathwol moved, Zwak seconded, to have the Board review the
Boat Density Report and then have it referred back to the Lake Use and
Recreation Committee for its further review and comments. Motion
carried unanimously.
8. Additional Business Rascop reported his objection to a change in the
parking layout at the Phelps Bay Tuxedo Road access in Minnetrista.
He believes it will be difficult to maneuver boats in and out of the
access. He also sees the sharp turn into the access as a problem.
Strommen reported he and Larry Killien, DNR, met with Minnetristats
city planner, police chief and council member Paul Pond whose home
is adjacent to the access. Strommen and Killien's concluded that
room is adequate for launching boats, as well as winter lake access.
The turn off the road is tight. City officials are open to making
adjustments to the road turn if needed. Strommen added that there
seems to be more problems with neighbors who believe the road is now
too narrow at that point. The road is 25t, a standard width for
this type of road. This width is hoped to slow the traffic speed
which has been a problem in this area according to the police chief.
The committee concluded the change should be left for the city to
resolve with citizens and persons using the access.
9. Adjournment. The meeting was adjourned at 7:15 pm.

MEETING MINUTES REVIEW. Minutes of the meeting of 9/8/94
were accepted as mailed.
SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON VISION STATEMENT.
Mollet reported on the Save the Lake Vision Subcommittee
which met November 3 to review criteria for a Vision
Statement prepared by the executive director. Based upon the
subcommittee discussion, the executive director drafted a
Vision Statement which was forwarded to the subcommittee for
further comment. A recommendation was made to drop a
reference in the second line of the introduction, namely "a
vast audience of", the amended sentence to read "Lake
Minnetonka provides recreational experiences and aesthetic
values to public water surface users, the general public and
lakeshore owners. There were no further subcommittee
recommendations for amendments.
COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ON VISION STATEMENT. The major
discussion was directed to the listing of eight Criteria, and
the point Range and Score columns. Items recommended for
amendment were:
2. "Sustains or improves a major recreational resource."
3. "Investment benefit will be long term."
The committee then concluded that use of a scoring system
would tend to put too much weight on some criteria which at
times may not be desirable. The committee recommended
removing a system of points for the various criteria.
The committee recommended the amended draft be forwarded to
the board for its review, recommendation. A copy of the
revised statement is provided with these minutes.
MAIL SOLICITATION PROGRESS. Contributions through 10/31/94
were reported at $24,721, compared to $22,500 budgeted.
Strommen noted that since the in come is now in excess of the
budget, and the $5,000 Lakeshore Lighting budgeted expense
was removed by the board later in the year, the committee
could consider introducing a funding a proposal previously
under consideration for 1994 but withheld.
SAVE THE LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, 11/17/94, Page 2
Pillsbury asked that the inflatable Zodiac emergency rescue
boat for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol be
reconsidered. The proposal under consideration in March,
1994 was:
> Zodiac Mark 2 Virage, 1992 model, tax, freight - $3,468.00
> Shorelander B14-10 trailer, custom fitted
to boat with special bunks, guide-ons - 958.50
Estimated total cost $4,426.50
The 1992 model likely is not available at this date.
The 1994 Mark 2 Virage was quoted tax, freight 3,780.75
This would increase the total package to - $4,739.25
The 1994 package is subject to a requote which the executive
director will do prior to submission to the board.
Pillsbury moved, Mixa seconded that the committee recommend
to the board the purchase of the Zodiac Mark 2 Virage and
trailer for the best price available at this time. Motion
carried.
FUTURE PROJECTS. Mixa suggested that some small action
groups be developed as subcommittees which could carry out
special programs to supplement the Advisory Committee
members. Projects such as lakeshore clean-up, place mats
encouraging environmental lake protection for restaurants and
similar tasks could be carried out this way. Mollet will
explore these opportunities in future meetings.
FINAL 1994 APPEAL LETTER AND PLANS. The draft appeal letter
was received without change. Strommen noted the mailing
should be ready to go the last week in November.
NEXT MEETING. The next meeting was agreed for 5:00 pm,
Thursday, January 5.
ADJOURNMENT. There being no further business, the meeting
was adjourned at 6:10 pm.

Revised 11/17/94
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Save the Lake Vision Statement
INTRODUCTION. Lake Minnetonka provides recreational experiences
and aesthetic values to public water surface users, the general
public and lakeshore owners. The Lake Minnetonka Conservation
District (LMCD), its fourteen member cities surrounding the lake,
Hennepin County, Hennepin Conservation District, Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
share major management roles in protecting the lake's environmental
quality and user experiences on the lake.
Public funding provides the basis for implementing programs
which preserve or improve upon the environmental quality and user
experience. At times, however, supplemental programs are needed to
enhance or speed up the public program initiatives.
The LMCD has developed a privately-raised reserve fund to meet
program needs addressing the lake's environment and recreational use
priorities. This fund has been identified by the LMCD board of
directors as a financial source for select programs supporting
environmental and recreational values of Lake Minnetonka.
CRITERIA FOR ALLOCATING RESERVE FUNDS. The LMCD board's
commitment to take extra-ordinary care in disbursing reserve funds
calls for special criteria in evaluating the purpose for which these
funds will be spent. The following criteria are the measures from
which reserve fund allocations will be based:
SAVE THE LAKE VISION STATEMENT, 11/17/94 Revision
CRITERIA:
1. Represents major environmental preservation or an improvement on
an environmental priority.
2. Sustains or improves a major recreational resource.
3. Investment benefit will be long term.
4. Public benefit spans broad range of lake users in terms of age,
economic profile, use interest.
5. Attracts matching public or private funds, preferably more, to
produce the program.
6. Appeals to fund contributors who recognize and likely support the
proposed program and would be expected to continue to replenish
the fund.
7. Meets a major lake educational need not being met by other public
or private initiatives.
8. Would not exceed 75% of the existing reserve fund balance.

OPEN APPOINTMENTS POLICY
Ad~pted February 28, 1994 (Res0]ut~0n
For appointments to boards, commissions, associations, task
forces, watershed districts and advisory committees.
Purpose Hennepin County contains a vast reservoir of talent and
energy in its citizens. The purpose of this policy is to tap
this reservoir to benefit County government. Further, by
promoting broad-based participation by citizens in the
committees, boards and commissions which advise County
Commissioners and help set public policy, County government
counters any perception that citizens have no opportunity to
influence County policy. Broad-based participation also creates
ambassadors for county programs and insures the diversity of
County residents is reflected in County decision-making. It
helps provide role models from various social, economic and
cultural segments of the community.
This Open Appointments Policy is designed to be an objective
process characterized by increased access, fairness and equal
opportunity, while preserving the qualitative and discretionary
elements necessary to appoint the best qualified candidates
possible.
We also recognize that the Open Appointments Policy can provide
an entry point for future leaders to involvement in civic
activities and open access to the political process, which we
want to encourage.
Our community can only gain from the insights, variety of
perspectives, new information and new methods of problem-solving
a broad-based open appointments policy can bring to County
government.
Goals The goals of the Open Appointment Policy are:
* To ensure that all interested citizens of the County have
opportunities to be considered for appointments.
* To establish standard procedures for a~pointing members to
Hennepin County Boards and Commissions.
* To ensure to the greatest extent possible that all
appointed boards reflect the diversity of County residents and
are representative and balanced by geography, gender, culture and'
ethnicity and contain representatives of a variety of educational
and employment backgrounds as'well as interests, experiences and
lifestyles. ·
* To ensure broad public participation by including a
two-term limit and absence standard in the policy.
1
* To provide sufficient staff support through the Office of
the Clerk of the Board, the Department of Human Resources and
~mployee Relations and the Department of Public Affairs to ensure
a well-managed Open Appointments system. Fur~_her, to provide
that depar~mental committee liaisons from appropriate departments
are assigned to each committee so that relevant information is
provided the managers of the system in a timely manner.
Activities Staff will conduct the following activities to
implement the Open Appointments Policy:
* Develop and maintain a database of all boards and
committees including information on origin, duration, purpose,
meeting times, board composition, number of members, terms of
members, current membership roster and term expirations,
qualifications, and other pertinent information, copies of
articles of incorporation, bylaws, statutes and any other
documents related to the committees will be obtained and
periodically updated.
* Develop standardized application materials and a tracking
and reporting system which provides information on the balance
and representativeness of the system.
* Produce and distribute materials including informational
booklets, press releases and announcements concerning
appointments; conduct recruitment activities, with emphasis on
groups usually under-represented.
* Distribute applications to interested citizens.
* Provide the County Board with information, applications and
other materials so that appointments are made in a timely
fashion, and according to the Open Appointment policy.
Application of Polic~ The Open Appointments Policy applies to
County committees which' contain citizen members and/or
representatives of governmental and private sectors which report
directly to the Hennepin County Board. It also applies to
citizen appointments made to other bodies (such as the
Minneapolis Planning Commission or the Hennepin County Extension
Board) which have a certain number of Hennepin County Board
appointment slots. It does not apply to committees which are
comprised of staff people of governmental units and affiliated
agencies which have a staff coordination or other such function
and do not usually report to the Board.
Appointments Covers4 Appointments covered by the Open
Appointments Policy are those which are made by the Hennepin
County Board as a whole, which have a fixed term (which has an
end date and may require a reappointment or new appointment), and
are to a committee or task force expected to have a duration of
at least one year. This policy does not apply to ex-officio
appointments or to appointments designated to be filled by
Hennepin County Commissioners.
Commissioners may, at their discretion, use the Open Appointments
process for other appointments. They may also use applications
on file from the Open Appointments application solicitation to
fill slots on ad hoc or time-limited committees.
Process In preparation for year-end term expirations and
periodically throughout the year as necessary, the Clerk of the
Board, with the assistance of the departmental liaisons, will
prepare a list of appointments for committee positions which are
vacant. (This would include vacancies caused by term
expirations, resignations and the creation of new committees.)
These vacancies shall be widely advertised through mailings,
announcements during televised board and committee meetings and
adv?~.isements in the media. During the major applicant
solicitation in October and November (when applications for terms
ending December 31 are being solicited), the Department of P=blic
Affairs and Department of Human Resources and Employee Relations
will mount a major public education and recruitment
sec' ' effort. Any
z =ne co 1tree shall be incorporated into the
overall recruitment effort.
Ail applicants shall be sent a standardized application form
which Will gather.information necessary to track applicants in
order to better achieve the committee balance goals of the
policy.
The application period shall close no less than thirty days from
the vacancy announcement date.
The Clerk of the County Board will supply each Commissioner with
copies of the applications for each committee, together with a
summary sheet for each committee which provides information on
the demographics and other qualifications and characteristics of
the applicants as well as a summary of the demographics of the
committee, if applicable.
The Chair of the County Board shall place the appointments to
each committee on the agenda of the appropriate County Board
committee within three weeks of receiving the applications from
the Clerk.
Payment for Legitimate Expenses To remove as many barriers as
possible to service on committees by ordinary citizens of the
County, expenses incurred in the course of committee service,
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, will be
reimbursed by the County. This may include expenses for child
care, travel and parking. Those who receive expense
reimbursement from employers or other sources will not receive
expense payments.
Tdne and Loca~£on of Oonmi~tae Keetia~s Every effort will be
made to conduct committee meetings at times and in locations
which f~ci!itate participation by citizens of the County.
~bsence If any person appointed under this policy misses three
consecutive meetings, excluding special meetings, without being
excused by the committee, that person's term will automatically
expire. Attendance reports will be submitted by the departmental
liaison to the Clerk documenting such absence before the position
is declared vacant under this provision of this policy.
Term Limits Ail appointments which the County Board shall make
under the Open Appointments Policy shall be subject to a limit
equal to the greater of two consecutive terms or six (6) years.
Geographical Representation Since Commissioner Districts are the
basis for democratic representation on the Hennepin County Board,
whenever legal and practical all boards,-committees and task
forces will include persons who reside in each of the
commissioner districts.
Eligible Applicants The application form will ask applicants
whether they are County employees, have a contract with the
County or work for a County vendor, or are currently enrolled as
a client in a County program or are receiving individual services
from the County. In some instances the Board may wish to appoint
persons with such experience, in some cases they may wish to
appoint persons with less direct connection to the County. Where
this is a qualification either way, the solicitation for
applications for the particular appointment will so state.
Residenc~ Requirements Preference in appointments will be given
to residents of Hennepin. County, but exceptions may be made by
the Board to include persons with exceptional qualifications.
Standardized Information on Applicants The office of the Clerk
of the County Board, assisted by other departments as necessary,
will develop a standardized application form to be submitted by
all applicants under the Open Appointments Policy. The form will
ask for information regarding age, sex, race and ethnicity,
occupation, place of residence, relationship to the County or its
vendors and any other information deemed to be necessary. This
information will be used to track recruitment efforts and assist
in efforts to achieve committee balance. Ail submission of
information will be voluntary, and failure to supply information
will not disqualify an applicant. Information will be gathered
in the least intrusive manner possible.
Screening Process When there are more than ten applicants for
each position, the Hennepin County Board may direct the County
Administrator to conduct an objective screening process designed
to select the most qualified applicants for interviews with the
County Board.
Exceptions Whenever possible, the County Board will make its
appointments using the Open Appointment Process, from
applications on file, provided such applicants qualify in the
determination of the Hennepin County Board. If no qualified
applicants exist on file for a specific appointment, or if the
County Board determines a more qualified candidate exists for the
position, the County Board reserves the right to determine the
means of selection of an appropriate individual.
Non-discrimination It is the policy of Hennepin County
government to provide equal access to appointments made by the
Hennepin County Board to committees, task forces, boards and
commissions, without regard to race, sex, creed, color, religion,
age, disability, marital status, criminal record, national
origin, sexual preference, or public assistance status, subject
to statute, rule or regulation and any qualifications established
by the Hennepin County Board.
Rules Regarding the Establishment of Committmes In order for the
Open Appointments Process to function, resolutions creating
boards and committees which will be governed by this policy must
contain the following information: name of committee, powers and
duties, number of members together with any restrictions on
eligibility, desirable qualifications, date of commencement and
expiration of terms and expiration date of committee,
appropriation if applicable, appointing authority(les),
responsible county staff department, and type of representational
balance to be sought in membership.

informed as to the status and progress of the committee, any
unexpected vacancies which may occur, Open Appointments
information, and to submit any final reports and work products to
the Clerk, along with notice of the committee's conclusion.
NOTE: Some appointments are regulated by state or federal law or
administrative rule.. When there is a difference between this
Open Appointments Policy and rule or statute with regard to an
appointment, rule or statute will prevail.

HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARDS AND COMMITTEES
A Review and Recommendations
March 1994
Introduction
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, at its January 4, 1994, Board
meeting, requested that the County Administrator review the advisory boards and
committees in which the Board participates and to which it appoints. The Board
specifically asked for recommendations concerning which commissioner appointments
and committees might be eliminated.
A similar review had been commissioned by the Board in 1990 which resulted in the
adoption of Resolution No. 90-12-815-R1. That resolution contained fifteen actions
which had the effect of reducing the number of commissioner appointments to
committees. Some of the appointments which were made optional in that resolution
are still being made, however.
This review analyzes thirty-eight committees to which commissioners are appointed
or to which they make appointments, and makes recommendations concerning the
continuation of the appointments and committees.
Committees of the County Board, time-limited committees, Railroad Authority
committees, and appointments and committees which are required by law are
not included in this report.
Recommendations
Appointments of County CommissiOners:
Committee: AIDS TASK FORCE
Recommendation: Res. 90-12-815R1 made commissioner appointments to the
committee optional. Further, the current composition of the task force calls for one
commissioner, although two have been appointed. It is recommended that a
commissioner be appointed only if he or she wishes to serve. It is
recommended that the committee itself be continued.
Comments: The committee, which was created by the County Board, meets
infrequently, usually when controversial issues and matters of policy are involved.
The staff find commissioner involvement in the committee helpful because when
issues come to the Board, there are commissioners with an in-depth understanding of
the issues and the implications of various courses of action. Commissioners' aides
often sit in for the appointed commissioners.
Committee: ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA COUNTIES
Recommendation: Continue to participate as provided for in the AMC bylaws.
Comments: This is a nonprofit corporation in which the County participates. The
County could ask that the provision in the bylaws for Hennepin County membership
be removed, and could withdraw from participation. Since this is the major
organization for communication among.county governments, Hennepin County
benefits from membership.
Committee: AUDIT COMMI'I-FEE
Recommendation: Continue the Audit Committee and continue to appoint two
commissioners to it.
Comments: This committee, which was created by the County Board, performs an
essential oversight function and commissioner participation provides an important
oversight responsibility.
Committee: CORNERHOUSE/INTERAGENCY CHILD ABUSE EVALUATION
CENTER
Recommendation: It is recommended that Hennepin County. request that the
bylaws of the organization be amended to make the appointment of the County
Attorney or designee, -the Associate Administrator for Social Services System or
designee and the CEO of the Hennepin County Medical Center or designee,
automatic. Further, that a Hennepin County commissioner not be appointed to
the fourth Hennepin County appointment, unless there is a commissioner who
wishes to serve.
Comments: This organization was created by Hennepin County, Minneapolis and
Minneapolis Children's Medical Center as an extension of city and county government
to provide coordination and cooperation in a complex program area. The
organization is now well established and commissioner participation is not as
important as it was in the beginning.
4
Committee: COMMUNITY ACTION FOR SUBURBAN HENNEPIN (CASH)
Recommendation: Hennepin County's powers to terminate the designation of CASH
as the suburban Hennepin Community Action Agency are very limited (Mn Rules
Chapter 3350). The bylaws provide that three of the members of the CASH Board
shall be Hennepin County commissioners appointed by the Board, or their designees.
It is recommended that the County Board continue to participate as provided
for in the CASH bylaws pending the completion of the Hennepin County study
of CASH and the Human Services Councils.
Comments: The Hennepin County Board created CASH in 1985 as the Community
Action Agency (CAA) serving suburban Hennepin County in order to access CSBG
funds which now amount to about $600,000 per year. Without a CA,A, these funds
cannot be obtained.
Committee: COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Recommendation: Continue to appoint the Chair of the Health Committee to the
Advisory Committee.
Comments: The County Board created this committee to comply with the
requirement of the Community Health Services Act that the County must have an
advisory committee in order to receive funds under the Act. The County Board.
approved a reorganization of the committee in March of 1993 which included a
provision for this appointment. The statute does not require that a commissioner
serve on the committee.
Committee: CORRECTIONS ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: The County is required to have this committee as a condition of
receiving Community Corrections Act (CCA) funding. Because the County wanted to
participate in the CCA, the Board established this committee. It is recommended
that the Board continue to appoint a committee of no less than nine members
(MS 40'1.08), which is representative of the eight areas provided for in statute.
Comments: County commissioner service is not required by statute, and the CAB
was removed from the County Board appointment roster by Res. 94-1-22. The CAB
has had more than nine members in the past, but the County is not obligated to
continue to appoint more than nine, as long as the specified professions and
segments of the community are represented.
Committee: CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COMMI'I-I-EE (~JCC)
Recommendation: Res. 90-12-815R1 made commissioner service optional.
However, it is recommended that the County Board continue to appoint
commissioners to the two positions on the committee.
Comments: The Minneapolis City Council resolution creating the CJCC states the
CJCC is "... composed of elected officials.., a member may not delegate his/her
position on the Committee to a staff representative." =,es. 87-3-175 states that the
County agrees to participate. The other members ark- the Mayor of Minneapolis,
Council members, chief judges, the County Attorney and the County Sheriff.
Representatives from the Minnesota House and Senate have recently been added.
Committee: HEALTH EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Recommendation: It is recommended that this committee be disbanded as its
functions have been taken over by the Joint Policy Committee of HCMC.
Comments: The Health Executive Committee only met once and has not met again
because of a legal challenge.
Committee: HENNEPIN COUN'FY HISTORICAL SOCIETY BOARD
Recommendation: Res. 90-12-815R1 requested the H.C. Historical Society not to
appoint County commissioners unless the commissioners have agreed to serve. It is
recommended that commissioners not be nominated to this board by the
County Board unless they have agreed to serve.
Comments: Since the Historical Society was established in 1938 it has been
customary for their board to appoint two County commissioners as members, but
there is no requirement that they do so.
Committee: HENNEPIN COUNTY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
Recommendation: Continue to appoint County commissioners to the H.C.
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board.
Comments: The HCHRA commissioners do not have to be County commissioners;
the County commissioners could appoint others. However, since the role and .mission
of the HCHRA is still being developed, and because the HCHRA powers can be used
to enhance the County's mission, the current arrangement should be continued.
Committee: HENNEPIN COUNTY REGIONAL RAILROAD AUTHORITY
Recommendation: Continue to appoint County commissioners to the H.C.
Regional Railroad Authority.
Comments: The Railroad Authority commissioners do not have to be County
commissioners, but because the light rail system is in the planning and development
stage, the County commissioners should continue to serve as the Railroad Authority
Board.
Committee: INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: The County Board does not actually appoint members to this
board, it nominates members who are then approved by the Minneapolis City Council.
It is recommended that the County Board delegate, the responsibility for
nominating persons to the Hennepin County slots on this board to' the County
Administrator.
Comments: Because Hennepin County contributes funding to this effort, and
because the work of the organization has bearing on Hennepin County's interests in
solid waste, employment and other areas, Hennepin County should retain its
membership on this board. However, appropriate staff persons nominated by the
County Administrator could represent the County's interests on the board, relieving
the Commissioners from board service. The County's contribution to the Trade
Advisory Board is in the budget of the Department of Training and Employment
Assistance.
6
Committee: JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS
Recommendation: Continue to appoint four commissioners to this committee,
Comments: This committee is not mandated but was established pursuant to MS
401.02 subd. 1 and 3 to provide for an administrative structure for what is now the
Department of Community Corrections. The membership was established in a plan
adopted by the County Board and the District Court judges, with approval froth the
Department of Corrections, in 1985. Res. 84-2-959 states that the County Board
agrees to the organizational structure, endorses the plan and authorizes the Chair to
sign the agreement on behalf of the Board.
Committee: JOINT POWERS DISPARITY STUDY BOARD
Recommendation: This was never implemented, so the appointments which
were made danuary 4, 1994, are not in force.,.
Comments: Hennepin County may enter into a new agreement with other
governmental entities. Because of the importance of the issue the board will
address, it is intended.that commissioners will be appointed to a new board, if one is
established.
Committee: METRO HOSPITALS TRUSTEE COUNCIL
Recommendation: Continue to appoint a County commissioner to the Council.
Comments: Since the County Board functions as board of trustees for the Hennepin
County Medical Center (HCMC), and since this organization is comprised of the
chairs of the boards of trustees of metro area hospitals, it is appropriate for a County
commissioner to be appointed. The HCMC representative does not have to be a
commissioner.
Committee: METRO 911 TELEPHONE BOARD
Recommendation: Hennepin County may have two commissioners with three votes
each, or three commissioners with two votes each, on this board. There are currently
three Hennepin County commissioners on this board. It is recommended that two
commissioners be appointed, unless there is a third commissioner who wishes
to serve.
Comments: Hennepin County is party to a joint powers agreement which established
this board. The agreement provides that board members must be County
commissioners.
Committee: MINNEAPOLIS YOUTH COORDINATING BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to appoint two commissioners to serve on this
board. Review the membership provisions when the joint powers agreement is
up for renewal in 1995.
Comments: A memorandum dated June 20, 1990, from the County Attorney's Office
states that "the county is obligated to designate two county board members as its
representatives under the terms of the current joint powers agreement...". When the
joint powers agreement was renewed later in 1990, the same provision for County
commissioner service was included.
7
Committee: MINNESOTA ASSOCIATION OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ACT
COUNTIES
Recommendation: Continue to appoint one County commiSsioner as one of
Hennepin County's three delegates as provided for in the MACCAC bylaws.
Comments: Since this association develops policy and legislative positions relative to
the Community Corrections Act, belonging to the organization and having a
commissioner as one of the delegates is beneficial for Hennepin County.
Committee: MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Recommendation: Res. 90-12-815R1 provided that the Chair would dectine to
appoint a commissioner unless there was one willing to serve. It is recommended
that a County commissioner not be appointed unless there is one willing to
serve.
Comments: The bylaws of the Art Institute provide that one member of the board of
trustees shall be a member of the Hennepin County Board, appointed by the Chair of
the Board, provided the appointee accepts the appointment.
Committee: NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION POLICY BOARD (NRP)
Recommendation: Continue to appoint the Chair and two other County
commissioners to the NRP Policy Board.
Comments: The County Board is one of the parties to the NRP Joint Powers
Agreement. The Joint Powers Agreement authorizes establishment of the NRP
Policy Board. The Hennepin County Board, along with other governmental entities,
participated, by resolution, in the establishment of the NRP Policy Board.
Membership to the Policy Board is provided for in the bylaws of the organization.
Committee: RDF ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to appoint one commissioner and one alternate to
this board.
Comments: This board is not required by the service agreements with NSP regarding
the operation of the resource recovery facility at Elk River. Because it is vested with
certain powers by the county boards which established it, however, the individual
county boards do not have to take action individually on certain matters regarding the
RDF facility. The participating counties have all signed an agreement establishing
this board and its membership.
Committee: SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT COORDINATING BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to appoint two commissioners to this board.
Comments: The joint powers agreement establishing this board provides that two
commissioners from Hennepin County shall be appointed to this board. The joint
powers agreement expires in December of 1995.
Committee: TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to nominate one member of the County Board for
confirmation by the Metropolitan Council.
Comments: The bylaws of this committee which advises the Metropolitan Council on
transportation issues provides that a Hennepin County commissioner serve. The
8
committee was established pursuant to M.S. 473.146, subd. 4, which requires the Met
council to establish an advisory body to advise them on transportation planning.
Citizen or Staff Appointments or Committees:
Committee: DESIGNER SELECTION COMMITTEE
Recommendation: Continue to appoint the Designer Selection Committee.
Comments: This committee was established in 1979 and has worked well in
assisting the County to select architects and designers for its major projects.
Committee: EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES COUNCIL
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board continue its role as
ultimate authority for this committee.
Comments: The County Board, pursuant to Res. 92-8-677, does not have an
ongoing appointment function for this committee. The member organizations appoint
their representatives, and the County EMS Medical Director serves. The County
Board would act should there be need for dispute resolution or reorganization of the
committee.
Committee: BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Recommendation: Continue to appoint the special Board of Equalization.
Comments: The County Board along with the County Auditor could form the Board of
Equalization, which is mandated by M.S. 274.13. However, subd. 2. provides for an
appointed board, which is how the County Board forms its Board of Equalization.
Committee: MENTAL COMMITMENT A'FFORNEY PANEL ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to appoint this panel.
Comments: This committee has functioned well since 1982 as a method for selecting
attorneys to represent persons petitioned for commitment. VVhile not specifically
mandated, this committee was formed in response to a court decree.
Committee: CAPITAL BUDGETING TASK FORCE
Recommendation: Continue to appoint this committee.
Comments: This committee, established by the County Board in 1.973, has provided
citizen expertis~ to the County relative to the five-year capital program for twenty
years.
Committee: BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Recommendation: Continue to appoint this committee until the master plan for
the county bicycle system is completed; review status at that time; provide that
they select their own chair.
Comments: This committee was created by the County Board with no sunset date.
The committee is the planning and advisory group for a number of bicycle-related
projects. The County will probably be a joint applicant for ISTEA funds to develop
bicycle routes in the county this year. The resolution creating the committee provided
that the Board would appoint their chair; however, the committee has always
9
appointed its own officers.
Committee: COMPENSATION COUNCIL
Recommendation: Do not appo. int new members when terms expire in June of
1994. Eliminate the Compensation Council.
Comments: The County Board sets the level of compensation..
Committee: CENTER HOSPITAL, INC.
Recommendation: Adjust bylaws to reflect the new organizational structure.
Comments: Center Hospital is a corporation created by the County to own hospital
facilities. The current membership is persons who hold the offices of Director of
Budget and Finance, County Administrator, and Associate Administrator of Health.
Since the latter office does not exist under the new county structure, the bylaws must
be changed to include the Associate Administrator for Health Systems.
Committee: RESOURCE RECOVERY OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Recommendation: Continue to appoint the County Engineer or his designee to
this committee.
Comments: This is a staff committee established by resolutions from the participating
counties. It is required by the service agreements the counties have with NSP
relative to the resource recovery facility at Elk River.
Committee: MINNEAPOLIS PLANNING COMMISSION
Recommendation: Res. 90-12-815R1 replaced the traditional commissioner
appointment with a citizen appointment to represent the County. Continue to
appoint a citizen to represent the County on the Minneapolis Planning
Commission.
Comments: The charter of the Planning Commission does not require that the
County's appointment be a commissioner.
Committee: STATE COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES ADVISORY BOARD
Recommendation: Continue to appoint.a County staff person (director of the
Community Health Department) to this board.
Comments: This appointment is made by the Board periodically as part of the
community health planning.process.
Committee: C.A.R.E. STEERING COMMITTEE
Recommendation: Place under the County Administrator.
Comments: This committee was created as part of the C.A.R.E. program, which was
created by the CJCC. C.A.R.E. has now been folded into the Neighborhood
Revitalization Program, but this committee has been continued. The Hennepin
County Board has no direct involvement with this committee other than that it initially
approved the participation by County staffers.
10
Committee: EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES COMMI'I IRE/911 BOARD
Recommendation: Recommend to the 91'1 Board that they appoint this
committee.
Comments: When Hennepin County left MICA (Metropolitan Inter-County
Association), a regional body had to be found to sponsor EMS regional planning and
receive the planning grant, The 911 Board agreed to serve in that role. The 911
Board is comprised of county commissioners. Currently there are three Hennepin
County commissioners on the board and one is the board president. The EMS
committee has been functioning for approximately ten years. Recently, as the
committee began formalizing the EMS agreement, one county suggested that the
committee appointees be appointed by their respective county boards, rather than the
911 Board.
Committee: MINNEAPOLIS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION
Recommendation: Delegate responsibility for appointing a representative to the
seat on this commission reserved for a Hennepin County Board member or
designee to the County Administrator.
Comments: A staff person from the Environmental Management Division was recently
appointed to an indefinite term on the Commission by the County Board.
Other Findings and Recommendations
Many of the obligations of County Board members to serve on boards arise from
the creation of joint powers agreements with other governmental bodies. The
membership requirements written into joint powers agreements are binding on
the County Board. It is recommended that when joint powers agreements
are being developed, the County Administrator review the proposed
structures and make recommendations as to how to minimize County
commissioner obligations to serve on boards.
There is currently no centralized management function with regard to Hennepin
County boards and commissions. The Board has recently adopted a revised
Open App. ointments Policy which would organize all the appointment activities
into a system, and would provide for extensive'recruitment and applicant
tracking activities. It is recommended that all responsibilities related to the
management of information and the implementation of administrative and
Board policies with regard to boards and committees, as well as the
process of appointing persons to boards and committees, be centralized,
with one responsible person in charge.
Governmental entities and other public or pdvate sector entities which are
creating boards and committees often include Hennepin County Board members
in the membership structures, it is recommended that the Hennepin County
Board adopt this policy: governmental or other public or private entities
wanting to include the Hennepin County Board in committee structures

December 9, 1994
Mr. John Boyer
Boyer Building Corporation
18283A Minnetonka Boulevard
Wayzata, MN 55391
Dear Mr. Boyer,
We are pleased to confirm the LMCD board action
taken October 26, 1994, approving the Boyer
Building Corporation Pelican Point new multiple
dock license in Spring Park Bay, City of Mound.
Minutes of the October 26, 1994 board action were
approved at the board's regular December 7, 1994
meeting in which the board action to approve this
license was reported.
This license was approved subject to the adoption
of an Ordinance to Establish a Special Rule for
Continuous Shoreline of Dock Use Areas in Close
Proximity and the following six conditions:
1) An LMCD-prepared Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW) will not be required.
2) Water depths for each boat storage unit (slip)
are on file as part of the application.
3) The number of docks installed cannot exceed the
number of building permits issued.
4) LMCD legal counsel and board will review and
approve the association's covenants.
5) Review and approval of a lighting plan.
6) Future shallow water relief for boat slips to
be granted by moving slips to the south instead
of out beyond 100 feet.
The ordinance referenced above, copy enclosed as
amended in committee and approved by the board,
passed its second reading at the December 7, 1994
board meeting.
In a subsequent clarification with the Mound city
manager, it was learned that one city building
permit will be issued for this development. The
third condition above presumes building permits for
each townhome structure will be issued. In lieu of
the building permit being issued for each townhome,
it will be recommended to the board that the number
of docks installed do not exceed the number of
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT
BOYER BUILDING CORPORATION, PELICAN POINT, 12/9/94

townhome structures under construction based upon
building foundations being in place. This action
could be taken by the LMCD board at its January
25, 1995 meeting. It would also be at this meeting
when the third reading of the ordinance could be
completed and the ordinance adopted.
The other significant requirement is for the
association's covenants to be presented for review
by the LMCD counsel and approved by the board,
as referenced in condition four above. Please
provide this information at the earliest date.
Your letter of December 5, 1994, to ceil Straus, MN
DNR, states that "in low water situations, docks
may be located on the north side of the point. We
trust you meant the south side of the point as
referenced in condition six above.
One remaining LMCD administrative responsibility is
to add up the administrative and legal expenses,
compared to the $500 base license fee provided on
this new dock license. Such costs in excess of the
$500 license fee are to be reimbursed to the LMCD.
We look forward to:
1) receiving the association covenants,
completing the ordinance adoption,
3) resolving condition four.
4) Receiving water depths for each slip
5) Dock lighting plan
Please advise if there are any questions concerning
the completion of your new multiple dock license.
Sincerely,
LAKE MINNETONKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT

more sites (the "transferor sites") to be counted as part of another site (the
"transferee site") for the purpose of computing permissible boat storage
density. Applications for permission to transfer boat storage density shall be
made in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 2.03 and shah be
processed as a part of the applicant's multiple or commercial dock license
application. Criteria to be considered by the Board in evaluating whether to
approve such application shall include all criteria set forth in Section 2.03,
subd. 3a). No such permission to transfer boat storage density sba]! be
granted by the Board unless the following additional conditions are met:
a) The dock use areas of each transferor site and the transferee
site may be no more than 150 feet apart.
b) The credit for boat storage density transferred from any
transferor site may not exceed one restricted watercraft for each
100 feet of shoreline of the transferor site (with fractional
watercraft counted in accordance with subdivision 1).
c)

restricted watercraft for each 35 feet of shoreline of the
transferee site (with fractional watercraft counted in accordance
with subdivision 1).
d)
f)
No variances, other than temporary low water variances, may be
granted for construction of docks at the transferee site.
As long as the transferee site is used for the storage of more
restricted watercraft than this Code would allow without the

common ownership; WITH NO P. ESTRICTIVE COVENANTS,
