6. Catherine Pausche, Finance Director /Clerk/Treasurer, requesting action related to the
Dock Program.
A. Action on Dock Location Map Addendum for 2014 — two (2) changes.
Pausche stated dock map changes for 2014 were approved by the City Council on December
10, 2013. Tim Daly, 4541 Denbigh Road, filed a request to reconsider eliminating dock site
NIP #11077 from the program as he is still very interested in keeping the site and understands it
is not shareable. The Docks and Commons Commission recommended adding the site back to
the map at the March 20, 2014 DCC meeting. Pausche stated she recommends adding it back
and that future recommended changes to the official dock map will include more information so
that the DCC and City Council have a better understanding of what is being requested. Mayor
Hanus stated that he agreed to add it back and have it remain as long as the existing dock
license holder is interested in having the site and notate to remove upon nonrenewal. Hanus
noted it is not an emergency situation which also supports keeping it.
Pausche stated the second proposed change is to remove dock site NIP #08951 from the official
dock map, which is a non - abutting, one -sided dock site near Carlow Road. The site was
recommended for removal in 2010 to accommodate new abutting sites, but the change was
never put forward for approval. The site has not been assigned since 2009. Pausche
recommended removal of this site as the abutting property is being sold for development.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Gillispie, to approve Staff recommended changes to the
official dock map, specifically dock sites NIP11077 and NIP08951. All voted in favor. Motion
carried.
B. Action on LMCD Variance Application for 4644 Carlow Road.
Pausche stated that in 2007, the DCC and City Council authorized Staff to proceed with a
variance application to the LMCD for the Seton Bluff Homeowners Association conditional upon
the Homeowners Association paying all fees and any legal costs incurred by the City. In
addition, the City had to have the right to withdraw the application at any time if it put any portion
of our existing program /LMCD license at risk. Pausche stated that variance was ultimately
approved by the LMCD with no impact to the terms of the City of Mound LMCD license.
Pausche stated a similar situation has arisen with a non - conforming abutting dock site at 4644
Carlow Road (NIP #05721). Because of the wetlands between the property and the lake, a
LMCD variance is required due to the required length of the dock. The new property owner has
requested that the City of Mound, as the owner of the Lakeshore, apply for a LMCD variance.
Pausche stated the Docks and Commons Commission recommended proceeding with the
variance application at the March 20, 2014 DCC meeting. Pausche requested the Council
make a motion authorizing Staff to proceed with the variance application and stated that a public
hearing will be held on the application at the April 9 2014 LMCD meeting.
Mound City Council Minutes — March 25, 2014
MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Salazar, to endorse the variance application to the LMCD and
have the City initiate the process for the dock site at 4644 Carlow Road. All voted in favor.
Motion carried.
