1982 DOCK PERMIT LOCATIONS
The Dock Inspector has submitted a report with all changes in the 1982 City
dock locations. The Park and Recreation Commission has approved all the
changes. The City Manager pointed out that it appears the L.M.C.D. will
be approving our 20 extra docks in January and that these docks are also
included in the Dock Inspector's report.
Councilmember Swenson asked the Dock Inspector what the Park and Recreation
Commission's position is on people obtaining dock permits and not putting
in a dock. The Dock Inspector replied that the Commission has not taken
a position on this matter at this time. There were about 18 to 21 permits
taken last year where docks were not put in. The City Manager stated that
the City will monitor this problem and report back to the Council in May
or June. Hopefully with the increase in the dock permit fee, these
people will be eliminated. The Council decided to discuss this matter
further at the work session January 9, 1982.
The Mayor asked about the spacing between docks on the commons areas.
The Dock Inspector reported that the following scale is used:
1. 20' to 601 of commons - 12' spacing

3. over 200' of commons - 30' spacing

and a request has been submitted by Dunkley Investments (owner of the
property). He noted that the Planning Commission has recommended approval
of the R-4 zoning.

adopted Zoning Ordinance would be at stake if this property were rezoned
from R-1 to R-4 because the rules for rezoning as interpreted by the

2. There was a definite change in the neighborhood.
