important that the city have someone who represents the owners to whom it can communicate
rather than to communicate with every Single owner.
For these reasons, i am suggesting that the owners form an association whose role would
be to represent the owners in all matters involving regulation of thc Woodland Point Commons.
Thc so-called association would be somewhat informal, would probably not hold the rights to the
commons and would continue to function only so long as it was the concensus of the owners that
it should. We will be willing to put together thc necessary instruments to create such an entity.
3. AKrccmcnt Between City and AssociatiOn,:
Once the association has been created, thc association and thc city could enter into a
"comprehensive agency agreement" which would define thc roles of the parties rcgaxding the
commons. The agreement would be used here to deal with thc Woodland Point commons much
like the Ordinances deal with the public commons. The agreement would address a number of
issues which would include the following:
Number and location of docks.
a) The council may wish to consider a process similar to Mound's dock
localion map, except that here, thc association would annually submit its
location map for Woodland Point. The city could either approve the map
and extend the agency agreement for that year or disapprove the map and
not extend thc agency agreement.
b) multiple vs. duster docks - cost, phasing.
c) . fees to cover the city's costs.
~- Certain improvements to the commons might be necessary Or
desirable including stairs or other access to multiple or cluster docks. The
agreement should address these matters,, how they would tx= finan~d and by
whom.
Encroachments - The regulations which are applicable to public commons are not
directly applicable here. The agreement should address whether the city should
have a role with respect to.controling encroachments,
~ - The agreement may or may not address the status and the future
of Canary Beach. Should it remain as a public beach operated by the city'?.

~ - The agreement should assign responsibility' for maintaining the
commons area.
Pm
~- Especially if the city is to have no responsibility for maintenance
or for encroachments, the agreement should make it clear that it is thc owners and
not the city which has responsibility.
Law ]~nforccment Issues -. Unless the agreement indicates otherwise, enforcement
of the laws would be done in the same manner as with any private property in the
city.
Hopefully, this outline of issues may be helpful to the council in determining how to
proceed; and, if the agreement format is used, the specifics which would be included in the
agreement-

WOODLAND POINT MEDIATION WORK GROUP
REPORT TO THE MOUND CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 23, 1996
BACKGROUND
On January 30, 1996, the Mound City Council hosted a public meeting to discuss ways of
resolving issues involving the use of Wawonaissa Commons. The Council invited public
participation in its decision to appeal or not appeal a lawsuit limiting the city's authority over
certain lands and activities within the Commons. At~er considerable discussion, there was a
consensus that a work group, consisting of representatives of various interests in the Commons,
be established to work with a mediator in identifying and addressing the issues and reporting
recommendations back to the Council. The Work Group was directed to complete its activities
not later than April 30, 1996, due to the city's 90 day time limit for appealing the Court's decision
in the lawsuit.
In forming the mediation work group, six interests were identified: litigant abutting dock holders;
non-litigant abutting dock holders; non-abutting dock holders; non-abutting residents without
docks; abutting Waurika Commons dock holders; and, the City of Mound. Interest groups were
asked to choose their representatives to the mediation. The list of representatives is attached as
Appendix A.
MEETINGS
The Mediation Work Group met a total often times between February 6th and April 17th. The
first meeting was dedicated to a discussion of "ground rules" or procedures as to how the Work
Group would interact and conduct its business.
The second meeting focussed on issues from the perspective of the six interests represented at the
table. These issues are displayed by interest group on Appendix B and by categories on Appendix
C. The issues list formed the basis for the agenda at all subsequent meetings and will provide the
structure to this report.
ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Issue 1: Appeal of Lawsuit
The Mediation Work Group reached consensus that this report, if implemented, would eliminate
the need, in our opinion, for the City to appeal the court's decision in the Flack, et al. V. City of
Mound lawsuit.
Page Two
Issue 2:
Recommendations:
Implementation of Recommendations
A. The recommendations in this report should be implemented as quickly
as possible.
B. The City should reconvene the Mediation Work Group during the Fall
of 1996 to evaluate the implementation of recommendations contained
in this report.
Issue 3: Dock Program
Clearly, docks are the number one concern for abutters and non-abutters alike - how many, where
they are located and who administers a dock program. Docks were discussed, in one form or
another, at every meeting of the Mediation Work Group. To gain information about dockage
options, the Group invited Mr. Greg Nybeck of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and
the District's attorney, Charles LeFevere to discuss how the LMCD Code would deal with
dockage on the Commons in light of the order to the court in the lawsuit. A memo from Mr.
LeFevrere is attached as Appendix D. The Work Group also reviewed the recommendations of
the Commons Task Force pertaining to docks. The City prepared an aerial photo of the
Commons, showing dock locations and a plat map that actually sited each dock in relation to the
lots abutting the Commons. A sub-committee of the Work Group formulated five dock options
which were thoroughly discussed by the Work Group along with a sixth option generated during
that discussion. The options with Work Group comments are listed in Appendix E. A listing of all
docks within the City of Mound is attached as Appendix F.
Recommendations: That the future dock program:
mo
maintain the number of existing dock sites currently on the two
Commons - 54 dock sites (two of which are unavailable due to
obstructions).
allow one dock site in front of each abutter's house and continue to
give the abutters priority for permits on those docks. Allow non-
abutter's to cluster their individual docks at ends of streets, other than
Canary Lane, on both Wawonaissa and Waurika Commons. Clustered
docks can be placed closer together than 20-30 feet.
rewrite City rules to encourage and provide positive incentives for all
dock owners - abutters and non-abutters - to share docks. Do not
punish permit holders for sharing a dock one year by not granting a
permit for an individual dock the next year.
Page Three
D. consider providing fishing docks for use by Woodland Point residents.
E. consider the possibility of allowing docks accommodating more than
one boat (multiple docks) in the future if supported by dock owners.
F. The Work Group further recommends that the City negotiate with the
LMCD to implement the provisions of this dock program.
Issue 4: How should the Commons be Used?
The Mediation Work Group discussed many different uses of the Commons by abutters and non-
abutters. Some abutters were concerned about trespass on their private property by those gaining
access or egress to the Commons. Non-abutters were concerned about continuing their right to
use the Commons in an unobstructed manner, while considering the rights of abutters. Generally,
it was felt that common sense could and should prevail among all parties.
Recommendations: A. Information dissemination:
As a means of clarifying appropriate use of the Commons by Woodland
Point residents, it is recommended that an informational brochure be
developed and distributed to Woodland Point residents only.
B. Access points:
Free and unobstructed access to the Commons should be a continued
right of all Woodland Point residents. Some existing access points are
in need of improvements to facilitate access while the use of others
should be discontinued.
Woodland Road o consider adding stairs or handicap access
Bluebird Lane North - regrade path
Bluebird Lane South - not an appropriate public access due to
wet conditions. Work with abutting property owner to
discourage trespass and limit access to Commons at this point with
possible landscaping and by listing appropriate access points in the
informational brochure.
C. Pedestrian Use
To provide privacy for abutters and unobstructed passage for
pedestrians, walkers should be encouraged to traverse the Commons
Il
Page Four
near the waters edge and away from close proximity to homes. The
right of privacy of abutters should be respected to the extent possible.
D. Shoreline fishing
Fishing should be permitted from the shoreline of the Commons. Dock
fishing should be limited to dock owners or those gaining permission
from dock owners. Include information in proposed brochure.
Noise: Include reference in informational brochure
Snowmobiling/ATV's
Motorized machines should not be allowed to traverse the Commons.
Machines should access/egress the Commons perpendicular to the
shoreline and only at Canary and Finch Lanes. Abutters may
access/egress the lake directly from their property.
G. Overnight Use
Although some water-related use will occur at night, no overnight use
of the Commons should be permitted.
H. Encroaching Structures
Governing encroaching structures more stringently than the
Shoreland Management Ordinance is justified only where
nonabutting users are hindered by an encroachment's existence.
Hinderance of access to the Commons is defined here as actions or
structures which block access to docks, block the ability to traverse
the Commons, or block the ability to conduct other permitted
activities.
In order to prevent hinderance of access to the lakeshore, structures
would be allowed only in accordance with Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District (LMCD) and Shoreland Management
Ordinance (SMO) regulations. To the extent possible, a thirty foot
traversable area adjacent to the lake would be maintained. In some
cases the area of traversable lakeshore may be narrower than thirty
feet. In those cases, the LMCD and SMO regulations would apply.
No new lock boxes or decks that would be permissable under
LMCD or SMO regulations will be allowed on Wawonaissa or
Waurika Commons.
Page Five
Prohibited activities and encroachments which fall under the
regulation of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District or the MN
Dept. Of Natural Resources will continue to be governed by those
agency's regulations.
The current permitting process should be simplified to reduce the
time required to obtain a permit and to create an approval
mechanism consistent with the potential impact of the action
requiring the permit.
a. Some activities currently requiring a permit should be allowed
without one. Examples of these activities include:
- lawn mowing
- trimming of tree limbs below a height of 8 feet
- maintaining existing stairways or other existing structures, and
- planting new flower beds which do not exceed 25 sq. ff., nor
exceed 5 linear feet on any one side (for example, a 5'x5'
flower bed is okay; a 2'x10' bed would require a permit
Not all permits should require City Council approval. The
appropriate City staff should have the authority to grant some
permits, with residents having the ability to appeal any decision
to the parks commission and/or the city council. Examples of
those activities include landscaping and major maintenance
activities such as:
- trimming of tree limbs above a height of 8 feet
- tree removal
- landscaping
- planting new flower beds which exceed 25 sq. R. or which
exceed 5 linear feet on any one side, and
- clearcutting
c. Ail construction activities should continue to require approval
of the appropriate city authority and the City Council.
5. When granted for an encroachment, a permit should be granted for
the life of the structure, provided there is no change in the nature or
extent of the encroachment that hinders or discourages access.
6. Planting is undertaken at one's own risk.
Page Six
Issue 5: Roles and Responsibilities:
The Mediation Work Group had spirited discussion over the past role of the City of Mound in
administering the Commons. Some abutters felt that the City was guilty of micro-management,
requiring lengthy reviews of permit applications for improvements considered by them to be
insignificant and/or beneficial. Other abutters felt comfortable with the City's past actions and
expressed interest in continued oversight. Many non-abutters see the City as their ally, protecting
their interests and rights in the Commons. Clearly, some feel that without continued City
presence, the rights of non-abutters will gradually erode away.
The Work Group considered various ways of administering the Commons in the future. The two
most commonly discussed methods were a Woodland Point homeowner's association and
continued City administration. It was the consensus of the work group that a homeowner's
association not be pursued at this time.
Recommendations: A. Public Safety
The Work Group recommends that the Mound Police Department
continue to enforce all municipal laws in the Commons and respond to
calls and complaints about inappropriate use.
B. Maintenance/Trash Pickup
1. The City should continue to maintain the Canary Beach swimming
area
2. Abutters and non-abutters will be responsible for maintaining the
commons.
C. Dock Program Administration
The City of Mound should continue to issue dock site permits and
uniformly enforce the ongoing maintenance of docks on both
Wawonaissa and Waurika Commons, excluding the six litigants.
The Commons Task Force should work with the City to develop
appropriate standards for maintaining and enforcing the maintenance
of docks.
Page Seven
Issue 6: Resolution of Future Disputes
Recommendation:
The City should continue to use a representative group of Woodland Point
residents, on an ad hoc basis, to make recommendations on resolving
future disputes.

RE: Mound Commons
Dear Greg:
You have asked for my comments on how the LMCD Code would deal with dockage on the
Mound Commons in light of the order of the court in the case of Flack. et al. v. City of Mound.
et al..
Under the LMCD Code, dockage rights are recognized for "sites" on Lake Minnetonka. Sites
are defined in LMCD Code Section 1.02, subdivision 51 as "... any shoreline lot, parcel or other
piece of property legally subdivided and recorded in the office of the County Recorder". As this
term is def'med, none of the lots of the litigants in the Flack case are "sites" because they are not
"lakeshore" lots. Under the LMCD Code, the common area would be a single site. As such, if
one or more docks for the storage of more than a total of four restricted watercraft (defined in
section 1.02, subdivisions 41 and 55a, generally watercraft which are 16 feet or more in length
or having motors of more than 10 HP) are constructed on the Commons, a multiple dock license
is required under LMCD Code section 2.03. The total watercraft storage density for the
commons may not exceed one restricted watercraft for each 50 feet of shoreline as provided in
LMCD Code section 2.02.
In most cases where multiple owners have an interest in one "site" on Lake Minnetonka, all
owners join together in an application for a single multiple dock license which provides storage
of not more than a total of one restricted watercraft for each 50 feet of continuous shoreline.
Therefore, one option would be for all owners having an interest in the Commons area to form
some sort of association for the purpose of applying for a dock license from the LMCD.
In the past, the LMCD has recognized the transfer of exclusive dockage rights from one party
to another by deed, easement or license. For example, when one landowner transfers exclusive
dockage rights on 100 feet of lakeshore to the owner of adjacent property, the LMCD has
recognized that 100 feet of shoreline as being part of the transferee's property for licensing
.I0-4

purposes. Therefore, if the owners having an interest in the Commons area consent to continuing
control by the city of Mound over all dockage rights for all or a portion of the Commons area,
the LMCD could treat the affected lakeshore as a part of the lakeshore of the city of Mound.
Since the LMCD Code allows a municipality to combine all of its lakeshore, whether contiguous
or not, for purposes of the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline rule, that lakeshore could continue
to be a part of the city's multiple dock license application, and the city could continue to license
dockage as they have in the past.
Therefore, if all of the owners with an interest in the Commons area agree to a single unified
multiple dock license application for the entire Commons area, it could apply to the LMCD for
a license which could be granted subject to the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline rule. Likewise,
all owners could agree to allow the city of Mound to continue to be the agency applying for this
license under the city's license application to the LMCD. If all parties agree that some, but not
all of the Commons area should continue to be a part of the city of Mound license, that part of
the lakeshore could be considered to be a part of the city's lakeshore for LMCD licensing
purposes.
If there are parts of the Commons area which are not a part of a unified application, either by
a homeowners group or by the city of Mound, those parts of the lakeshore would be subject to
the LMCD Code as separate parcels. As to the six owners who were parties to the lawsuit
referred to above, the court has ordered that the city has no right to regulate their construction
of docks. However, the court did not resolve dockage rights among the owners of all lots having
an interest in the Commons area, and did not provide any special rights for owners of lots
immediately adjacent to the Commons.
The LMCD has no power to adjudicate riparian rights (including the right to construct docks in
the lake) between owners having conflicting claims. Therefore, I would recommend that in the
case of all parts of the Commons area which are not subject to an agreement for a single
application, either by the city or by a homeowners group, the LMCD simply treat this lakeshore
as separate sites subject to the licensing requirement and the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline
rule. If the parties cannot agree, and no license is secured from the LMCD, and if docks are
constructed on such parts of the Commons which are not covered by an overall agreement, the
LMCD would commence prosecution against all parties with docks on such shoreline for erection
of multiple docks without a license.
If you have any other questions, please give me a call.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere

- with 7 multiple docks, size would be about 8 slips per dock to maintain existing site
count
- multiple dock sites to be evenly distributed along lake shore and at street endings
- all dock owners would participate
Comments:
- public parking
- access at Bluebird, Eagle, Dove
- ownership of docks
_ maintenance/policing/control
- freeze number of sites (no increase over current number)
- security
- cost
- inconvenient
- will remove options for public fishing
- administration of program - by whom?
- creates imposition on abutters
- number of boats per dock
- already spent money on own dock
- not practical
OPTION 3:
Move all non-abutters to multiple docks at street endings.
- Abutting owners have dock in front of house
all dock owners pay same fee to spread cost of multiple dock over all dock owners
non-abutting owners get dock site without responsibility for maintenance.
- responsibility for installation, removal, maintenance would be handled by third party
- city would require some assurance of control if they were asked to implement
Comments: - provides some balance between abutters who maintain area and have own
docks with non-abaters who don't maintain area and have multiple docks
- need to have a lift for boat
- possible to accommodate non-abutter's needs by locating multiple docks
for 4-5 boats at ends of six streets.
- cost of multiple dock?
- access down slopes?
parking
control/maintenance
want families of non-abutters to have same dock rights as abutters
seems to limit non-abutters to one boat
may affect ability of adjacent abutters to have docks on their property due
to required setbacks
- eliminates docks for fishing
- limit size, and number of boats
- option clusters non-abutters to open up space for abutters
- consider a fishing dock
- what would a multiple dock look like - boat size, lilts??
- policy for site maintenance as abutters
- program administration
OPTION 4:
Spread out existing docks by exploring possibility to expand into currently non-accessible
areas
Comments: - cost
- DNR permits
OPTION 5:
Encourage all dock owners to share docks
Comments: - rewrite city rules to recognize and encourage shared docks and not punish
someone for not putting out their own dock one year by not granting a permit
the next year
- cap the total number of slip-holders
OPTION 6:
Create clusters of docks at ends of streets
Comments:
- utilizes current investment in dock
- serveS all needs: gives abutters privacy/non-abutters have their own docks.
- lessens need to traverse commons.
- lower cost than Option 3

important that the city have someone who represents d~e owners to whom it can communicate
rather than to communicate with every Single owner.
For them reasons, I am suggesting that the owners form an association whose role would
be to represent the owners in all matters involving regulation of the Woodland Point Commons.
The so-called association would be somewhat informal, would probably not hold the rights to the
commons and would continue to function only so long as it was the concensus of the owners that
it should. We will be willing to put together thc necessary instruments to create such an entity.
3. Agreement Between City and AssociatiOn:
Once the association has been created, thc association and thc city could enter into a
"comprehensive agency agreement' which would dcf'mc thc roles of thc parties regarding thc
commons. The agreement would bc used here to deal with thc Woodland Point commons much
like thc Ordinances deal with the public commons. The agreement would address a number of
issues which would include thc following:
A. Number and location of docks.
a)
The council may wish to consider a process similar to Mound's dock
location map, except that here, the association would annually submit its
location map for Woodland Point. The city could either approve the map
and extend the agency agreement for that year or disapprove the map and
not extend the agency agreement-
b) multiple vs. duster docks - cost, phasing.
c) . fees to cover the city's costs.
~- Certain improvements to the commons might be necessary or
desirable including stairs or other access to multiple or cluster docks. The
agreement should address these matters,, how they would be financed and by
whom.
Encroachments - The regulations which are applicable to public commons are not
directly applicable here. The agreement should address whether the city should
have a role with respect to.controling encroachments.
~ - The a~eemem may or may not address the status and the future
of Canary Be, ach. Should it remain as a public beach operated by thc city?

Eo
~aintenancc - Thc agreement should assign responsibility' for maintaining thc
commons area.
Liability Issues - Especially if the city is to have no responsibility for maintenance
or for encroachments, the agreement should make it clear that it is the owners and
not the city which has responsibility.
Law Enforcement Issues - Unless the agreerncnt indicates othcrwisc, enforcemcnt
of the laws would be done in the same manner as with any private property in the
city.
Hopefully, this outline of issues may be helpful to thc council in determining how to
proceed; and, if the agreement format is used, thc specifics which would be included in the
agreement.

WOODLAND POINT MEDIATION WORK GROUP
REPORT TO THE MOUND CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 23, 1996
BACKGROUND
On January 30, 1996, the Mound City Council hosted a public meeting to discuss ways of
resolving issues involving the use of Wawonaissa Commons. The Council invited public
participation in its decision to appeal or not appeal a lawsuit limiting the city's authority over
certain lands and activities within the Commons. Atter considerable discussion, there was a
consensus that a work group, consisting of representatives of various interests in the Commons,
be established to work with a mediator in identifying and addressing the issues and reporting
recommendations back to the Council. The Work Group was directed to complete its activities
not later than April 30, 1996, due to the city's 90 day time limit for appealing the Court's decision
in the lawsuit.
In forming the mediation work group, six interests were identified: litigant abutting dock holders;
non-litigant abutting dock holders; non-abutting dock holders; non-abutting residents without
docks; abutting Waurika Commons dock holders; and, the City of Mound. Interest groups were
asked to choose their representatives to the mediation. The list of representatives is attached as
Appendix A.
MEETINGS
The Mediation Work Group met a total often times between February 6th and April 17th. The
first meeting was dedicated to a discussion of "ground rules" or procedures as to how the Work
Group would interact and conduct its business.
The second meeting focussed on issues from the perspective of the six interests represented at the
table. These issues are displayed by interest group on Appendix B and by categories on Appendix
C. The issues list formed the basis for the agenda at all subsequent meetings and will provide the
structure to this report.
ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Issue 1: Appeal of Lawsuit
The Mediation Work Group reached consensus that this report, if implemented, would eliminate
the need, in our opinion, for the City to appeal the court's decision in the Flack, et al. V. City of
Mound lawsuit.
Page Two
Issue 2: Implementation of Recommendations
Recommendations:
A. The recommendations in this report should be implemented as quickly
as possible.
The City should reconvene the Mediation Work Group during the Fall
of 1996 to evaluate the implementation of recommendations contained
in this report.
Issue 3: Dock Program
Clearly, docks are the number one concern for abutters and non-abutters alike - how many, where
they are located and who administers a dock program. Docks were discussed, in one form or
another, at every meeting of the Mediation Work Group. To gain information about dockage
options, the Group invited Mr. Greg Nybeck of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and
the District's attorney, Charles LeFevere to discuss how the LMCD Code would deal with
dockage on the Commons in light of the order to the court in the lawsuit. A memo from Mr.
LeFevrere is attached as Appendix D. The Work Group also reviewed the recommendations of
the Commons Task Force pertaining to docks. The City prepared an aerial photo of the
Commons, showing dock locations and a plat map that actually sited each dock in relation to the
lots abutting the Commons. A sub-committee of the Work Group formulated five dock options
which were thoroughly discussed by the Work Group along with a sixth option generated during
that discussion. The options with Work Group comments are listed in Appendix E. A listing of all
docks within the City of Mound is attached as Appendix F.
Recommendations: That the future dock program:
maintain the number of existing dock sites currently on the two
Commons - 54 dock sites (two of which are unavailable due to
obstructions).
allow one dock site in front of each abutter's house and continue to
give the abutters priority for permits on those docks. Allow non-
abutter's to cluster their individual docks at ends of streets, other than
Canary Lane, on both Wawonaissa and Waurika Commons. Clustered
docks can be placed closer together than 20-30 feet.
rewrite City rules to encourage and provide positive incentives for all
dock owners - abutters and non-abutters - to share docks. Do not
punish permit holders for sharing a dock one year by not granting a
permit for an individual dock the next year.
Page Three
D. consider providing fishing docks for use by Woodland Point residents.
E. consider the possibility of allowing docks accommodating more than
one boat (multiple docks) in the future if supported by dock owners.
F. The Work Group further recommends that the City negotiate with the
LMCD to implement the provisions of this dock program.
Issue 4: How should the Commons be Used?
The Mediation Work Group discussed many different uses of the Commons by abutters and non-
abutters. Some abutters were concerned about trespass on their private property by those gaining
access or egress to the Commons. Non-abutters were concerned about continuing their right to
use the Commons in an unobstructed manner, while considering the rights of abutters. Generally,
it was felt that common sense could and should prevail among all parties.
Recommendations: A. Information dissemination:
As a means of clarifying appropriate use of the Commons by Woodland
Point residents, it is recommended that an informational brochure be
developed and distributed to Woodland Point residents only.
B. Access points:
Free and unobstructed access to the Commons should be a continued
right of all Woodland Point residents. Some existing access points are
in need of improvements to facilitate access while the use of others
should be discontinued.
Woodland Road - consider adding stairs or handicap access
Bluebird Lane North - regrade path
Bluebird Lane South - not an appropriate public access due to
wet conditions. Work with abutting property owner to
discourage trespass and limit access to Commons at this point with
possible landscaping and by listing appropriate access points in the
informational brochure.
C. Pedestrian Use
To provide privacy for abutters and unobstructed passage for
pedestrians, walkers should be encouraged to traverse the Commons
Page Four
near the waters edge and away from close proximity to homes. The
right of privacy of abutters should be respected to the extent possible.
D. Shoreline fishing
Eo
Fishing should be permitted from the shoreline of the Commons. Dock
fishing should be limited to dock owners or those gaining permission
from dock owners. Include information in proposed brochure.
Noise: Include reference in informational brochure
Snowmobiling/ATV' s
Motorized machines should not be allowed to traverse the Commons.
Machines should access/egress the Commons perpendicular to the
shoreline and only at Canary and Finch Lanes. Abutters may
access/egress the lake directly from their property.
G. Overnight Use
Although some water-related use will occur at night, no overnight use
of the Commons should be permitted.
H. Encroaching Structures
Governing encroaching structures more stringently than the
Shoreland Management Ordinance is justified only where
nonabutting users are hindered by an encroachment's existence.
Hinderance of access to the Commons is defined here as actions or
structures which block access to docks, block the ability to traverse
the Commons, or block the ability to conduct other permitted
activities.
In order to prevent hinderance of access to the lakeshore, structures
would be allowed only in accordance with Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District (LMCD) and Shoreland Management
Ordinance (SMO) regulations. To the extent possible, a thirty foot
traversable area adjacent to the lake would be maintained. In some
cases the area of traversable lakeshore may be narrower than thirty
feet. In those cases, the LMCD and SMO regulations would apply.
No new lock boxes or decks that would be permissable under
LMCD or SMO regulations will be allowed on Wawonaissa or
Waurika Commons.
Page Five
Prohibited activities and encroachments which fall under the
regulation of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District or the MN
Dept. Of Natural Resources will continue to be governed by those
agency's regulations.
The current permitting process should be simplified to reduce the
time required to obtain a permit and to create an approval
mechanism consistent with the potential impact of the action
requiring the permit.
a. Some activities currently requiring a permit should be allowed
without one. Examples of these activities include:
lawn mowing
trimming of tree limbs below a height of 8 feet
maintaining existing stairways or other existing structures, and
planting new flower beds which do not exceed 25 sq. fL, nor
exceed 5 linear feet on any one side (for example, a 5'x5'
flower bed is okay; a 2'x10' bed would require a permit
bo
Not all permits should require City Council approval. The
appropriate City staff should have the authority to grant some
permits, with residents having the ability to appeal any decision
to the parks commission and/or the city council. Examples of
those activities include landscaping and major maintenance
activities such as:
- trimming of tree limbs above a height of 8 feet
- tree removal
- landscaping
- planting new flower beds which exceed 25 sq. ff. or which
exceed 5 linear feet on any one side, and
- clearcutting
c. All construction activities should continue to require approval
of the appropriate city authority and the City Council.
5. When granted for an encroachment, a permit should be granted for
the life of the structure, provided there is no change in the nature or
extent of the encroachment that hinders or discourages access.
6. Planting is undertaken at one's own risk.
Page Six
Issue 5: Roles and Responsibilities:
The Mediation Work Group had spirited discussion over the past role of the City of Mound in
administering the Commons. Some abutters felt that the City was guilty of micro-management,
requiring lengthy reviews of permit applications for improvements considered by them to be
insignificant and/or beneficial. Other abutters felt comfortable with the City's past actions and
expressed interest in continued oversight. Many non-abutters see the City as their ally, protecting
their interests and fights in the Commons. Clearly, some feel that without continued City
presence, the fights of non-abutters will gradually erode away.
The Work Group considered various ways of administering the Commons in the future. The two
most commonly discussed methods were a Woodland Point homeowner's association and
continued City administration. It was the consensus of the work group that a homeowner's
association not be pursued at this time.
Recommendations: A. Public Safety
The Work Group recommends that the Mound Police Department
continue to enforce all municipal laws in the Commons and respond to
calls and complaints about inappropriate use.
B. Maintenance/Trash Pickup
1. The City should continue to maintain the Canary Beach swimming
area
2. Abutters and non-abutters will be responsible for maintaining the
commons.
C. Dock Program Administration
The City of Mound should continue to issue dock site permits and
uniformly enforce the ongoing maintenance of docks on both
Wawonaissa and Waurika Commons, excluding the six litigants.
The Commons Task Force should work with the City to develop
appropriate standards for maintaining and enforcing the maintenance
of docks.
It(c

Issue 6: Resolution of Future Disputes
Recommendation:
The City should continue to use a representative group of Woodland Point
residents, on an ad hoc basis, to make recommendations on resolving
future disputes.

RE: Mout~d Commons
Dear Greg:
You have asked for my comments on how the LMCD Code would deal with dockage on the
Mound Commons in light of the order of the court in the case of Flack. et al. v. City of Mound.
et al__._.~. ~
Under the LMCD Code, dockage rights are recognized for "sites" on Lake Minnetonka. Sites
are defined in LMCD Code Section 1.02, subdivision 51 as "... any shoreline lot, parcel or other
piece of property legally subdivided and recorded in the office of the County Recorder". As this
term is deemed, none of the lots of the litigants in the ?lack case are "sites" because they are not
"lakeshore" lots. Under the LMCD Code, the common area would be a single site. As such, if
one or more docks for the storage of more than a total of four restricted watercraft (clef'reed in
section 1.02, subdivisions 41 and 55a, generally watercraft which are 16 feet or more in length
or having motors of more than 10 HP) are constructed on the Commons, a multiple dock license
is required under LMCD Code section 2.03. The total watercraft storage density for the
commons may not exceed one restricted watercraft for each 50 feet of shoreline as provided in
LMCD Code section 2.02.
In most cases where multiple owners have an interest in one "site" on Lake Minnetonka, all
owners join together in an application for a single multiple dock license which provides storage
of not more than a total of one restricted watercraft for each 50 feet of continuous shoreline.
Therefore, one option would be for all owners having an interest in the Commons area to form
some sort of association for the purpose of applying for a dock license from the LMCD.
In the past, the LMCD has recognized the transfer of exclusive dockage rights from one party
to another by deed, easement or license. For example, when one landowner transfers exclusive
dockage rights on 100 feet of lakeshore to the owner of adjacent property, the LMCD has
recognized that 100 feet of shoreline as being part of the transferee's property for licensing
.C:280
.lC-4

purposes. Therefore, if the owners having an interest in the Commons area consent to continuing
control by the city of Mound over all dockage rights for all or a portion of the Commons area,
the LMCD could treat the affected lakeshore as a part of the Iakeshore of the city of Mound.
Since the LMCD Code allows a municipality to combine all of its lakeshore, whether contiguous
or not, for purposes of the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline rule, that lakeshore could continue
to be a part of the city's multiple dock license application, and the city could continue to license
dockage as they have in the past.
Therefore, if all of the owners with an interest in the Commons area agree to a single unified
multiple dock license application for the entire Commons area, it could apply to the LMCD for
a license which could be granted subject to the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline rule. Likewise,
all owners could agree to allow the city of Mound to continue to be the agency applying for this
license under the city's license application to the LMCD. If all parties agree that some, but not
all of the Commons area should continue to be a part of the city of Mound license, that part of
the lakeshore could be considered to be a part of the city's lakeshore for LMCD licensing
purposes.
If there are parts of the Commons area which are not a part of a unified application, either by
a homeowners group or by the city of Mound, those parts of the lakeshore would be subject to
the LMCD Code as separate parcels. As to the six owners who were parties to the lawsuit
referred to above, the court has ordered that the city has no right to regulate their construction
of docks. However, the court did not resolve dockage rights among the owners of all lots having
an interest in the Commons area, and did not provide any special rights for owners of lots
immediately adjacent to the Commons.
The LMCD has no power to adjudicate riparian rights (including the right to consn'uct docks in
the lake) between owners having conflicting claims. Therefore, I would recommend that in the
case of all parts of the Commons area which are not subject to an agreement for a single
application, either by the city or by a homeowners group, the LMCD simply treat this lakeshore
as separate sites subject to the licensing requirement and the one boat per 50 feet of shoreline
rule. ff the parties cannot agree, and no license is secured from the LMCD, and if docks are
constructed on such parts of the Commons which are not covered by an overall agreement, the
LMCD would commence prosecution against all parties with docks on such shoreline for erection
of multiple docks without a license.
If you have any other questions, please give me a call.
Very truly yours,
Charles L. LeFevere

Comments: - similar to Options 2 and 3
OPTION 2:
Multiple dock program for all dock owners
- with 7 multiple docks, size would be about 8 slips per dock to maintain existing site
count
- multiple dock sites to be evenly distributed along lake shore and at street endings
- all dock owners would participate
Comments:
- public parking
- access at Bluebird, Eagle, Dove
- ownership of docks
- maintenance/policing/control
- freeze number of sites (no increase over current number)
- security
- cost
- inconvenient
- will remove options for public fishing
- administration of program - by whom?
- creates imposition on abutters
- number of boats per dock
- already spent money on own dock
- not practical
OPTION 3:
Move all non-abutters to multiple docks at street endings. - Abutting owners have dock in front of house
- all dock owners pay same fee to spread cost of multiple dock over all dock owners
- non-abutting owners get dock site without responsibility for maintenance.
- responsibility for installation, removal, maintenance would be handled by third party
- city would require some assurance of control if they were asked to implement
Comments:
- provides some balance between abutters who maintain area and have own
docks with non-abaters who don't maintain area and have multiple docks
- need to have a lift for boat
- possible to accommodate non-abutter's needs by locating multiple docks
for 4-5 boats at ends of six streets.
- cost of multiple dock?
- access down slopes?
- parking
- control/maintenance
- want families of non-abutters to have same dock rights as abutters
- seems to limit non-abutters to one boat
- may affect ability of adjacent abutters to have docks on their property due
to required setbacks
- eliminates docks for fishing
- limit size, and number of boats
- option clusters non-abutters to open up space for abutters
- consider a fishing dock
- what would a multiple dock look like - boat size, lifts??
- policy for site maintenance as abutters
- program administration
OPTION 4:
Spread out existing docks by exploring possibility to expand into currently non-accessible
areas
Comments: - cost
- DNR permits
OPTION 5:
Encourage all dock owners to share docks
Comments:
- rewrite city rules to recognize and encourage shared docks and not punish
someone for not putting out their own dock one year by not granting a permit
the next year
- cap the total number of slip-holders
OPTION 6:
Create clusters of docks at ends of streets
Comments:
- utilizes current investment in dock
- serves all needs: gives abutters privacy/non-abutters have their own docks.
- lessens need to traverse commons.
- lower cost than Option 3
