CALL TO ORDER Chair Braddy called the Lake Advisory Committee (LAC) Meeting to order at 6:30 P.M. Members present: Dale Braddy, Dan O'Keefe, Harry Alcorn, and Brad Beneke. Members absent: Shirley Gengler. Others present: Chad LeMair, City Council, Marv Mirsch, Larry Poppler; Assistant City Engineer. II. CONSIDER APPROVAL MEETING MINUTES ,- No minutes to approve III. OLD BUSINESS a. Regulation of Docks Poppler stated that discussion at the last joint meeting with the Parks Advisory Committee, City Staff, DNR, and the Lakes Advisory Committee focused on the regulation of docks. The task of the Lake Advisory Committee is to provide a recommendation to the City Council on how docks should be regulated in the City of Prior Lake. O'Keefe asked what the current docking ordinance is in the City of Prior Lake? Mirsch responded that the current ordinance talks about the docking of more than 6 boats. The ordinance contains a formula, which requires a certain amount of lake frontage for additional boat storage. Alcorn stated that the DNR now has only two criteria for regulation of docks. They are that the dock serves as a commercial facility or the dock is over 8 feet in width. If the dock does not fit in that criteria then it is not DNR regulated. O'Keefe stated that the Wagon Bridge Marina and Captain Jacks are the only facilities now regulated by the DNR. 1 Mirsch mentioned that the DNR didn't have any rules on the regulation of residential riparian lots. So the question of this committee is - Do we want to recommend that this be regulated by the City? LeMair asked who would enforce the regulations? Mirsch stated that the City does not have an enforcing agency on the lake. Alcorn suggested that the Scott County Sheriff's Department could be the enforcing agency and could enforce this just as they enforce surface water ordinances. Braddy stated that some regulation of docks is necessary. Certain people on Prior Lake are selling boat slips. LeMair stated that adding boat slips through associations is a thorough process. O'Keefe mentioned that the City's enforcement code officer should be the one enforcing the regulations or someone else in the City offices. The dock issue should be broken down into association docks and typical residential docks, and non-buildable lots. O'Keefe hasn't heard too many issues on docks throughout the City and maybe the dock regulation shouldn't be too extensive. Mirsch suggested that the LAC should review the White Bear Lake ordinance. Beneke added that White Bear Lake has done a good job with their lake. Braddy mentioned that extensive docking results in a "dead lake". Mirsch stated that excessive docking is an irritant to neighbors, not aesthetic, and access and egress is compromised. Alcorn suggested that the ordinance could be written such that docking can not be within 10 or 15 feet of a neighboring property. Certain larger boats or sail boats require more room to navigate and would thus need to be a certain distance from the property line so that it doesn't impede the neighbor. Braddy mentioned that certain lots will be unique because of the contour of the shoreline. Mirsch stated that a few things need to be looked at regarding docks like leaving docks in the water over winter, length of docks, and other things. LeMair added that maybe we need to create a list of things we need to decide like number of docks and setbacks. Braddy mentioned that maybe the issue should be tabled until some further research can be done. 2 ORDINANCE NUMBER 5 Page 1 of 11 r WBlCD ORDINANCE NUMBER 5 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO.3; RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND LICENSING OF DOCKS, BOAT MOORING AREAS AND OTHER FIXED OR FLOATING STRUCTURES ON WHITE BEAR LAKE.
