The Docking Systems: <br /> The City jurisdiction is the amount of docks, not location. The City cannot regulate or <br /> permit removal of aquatic vegetation; that is regulated by the DNR. The applicant is not <br /> requesting to add any docking systems; the moorings are based on first tier density. <br /> Staff is uncertain how the new plat is going to lay out; the mooring spaces would need to <br /> match first tier units. We may need City Attorney determination. <br /> Mr. Steffens stated they never had 40 first tier units. The old resort had 44 docks and it <br /> was decided they would be allowed 40 spaces. <br /> Beach Areas: <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the applicant proposes to increase the existing beach area by 35 <br /> feet and also requests a second beach area. The ordinance states a property owner may <br /> move io cubic yards of dirt with a permit, one time. It further states up to 50 cubic <br /> yards can be moved with a Conditional Use Permit. Anything beyond 50 cubic yards is <br /> not allowed in the Shoreland Ordinance. It appears the resort may be well over 50 cubic <br /> yards now. <br /> Relocation of Boat Ramp: <br /> `. Applicant proposes to move the existing boat ramp to the west side of the existing beach. <br /> This is safer as traffic will not impede the beach area. Staff is waiting for comments <br /> from the DNR. Staff has no issue moving the boat ramp. <br /> Roadway in Shore Impact Zone: <br /> Mr. Burslie reported this condition from prior approval has not been met. Staff made a <br /> site visit last summer and this area was hard packed dirt. What was approved is not <br /> what it is being used for. It has been modified some, but it is not in compliance with <br /> prior approval. <br /> It is the recommendation of Staff to table this request until Preliminary Plat application <br /> is made. <br /> Tom Steffens, applicant, stated he intended to present the Preliminary Plat along with <br /> the CUP application, but a determination was made by Staff to come forward with the <br /> CUP as not all of the submissions were ready for Preliminary Plat. The MPCA permit <br /> would need to be amended, as well as the vegetation plan, the survey, and stormwater <br /> management plan. He is seeking direction on the lodge, the second beach and the <br /> pathway, but also what the proposed plat will look like. He is currently approved for 6o <br /> Minutes <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> January 16, 2014 5 <br />
