CITY OF LAKE ELMO, CITY COMTCIL MINUTES, JULY 179 1979 _3— Donald, Durand Continued — Any affirmative action would be inconsistent with Council feeling about a launch from the Regional Park and their desire for no launch conveyed to -the County Commissioner this evening. Mottaz moved, that the permit be denied; and, the owner be instructed to put a chain across the ramp; that only boats owned by Pierre's Pier are to be use; and that no public access be allowed. No second, motion dies. Mr. Durand stated he launches only fishing boats and non —motorized boats now. He has a sign stating no ski boats allowed. Pott indicated that discussion about boat sizes is not pertinent, that -the question is the paved ramp. He feels the driveway at Pierre's Pier is not a, big problem compared to the access on the adjacent property. Since the County Engineer stated the driveway poses no problems this should be a consideration. Morgan stated he has seen the site. Parking is adequate and tis is an existing business. Mottaz feels by granting the SUP the City is rezoning the area commercial. Armstrong suggested limiting the horsepower of launched boats to 10 HP. Audience comments included the City is being discriminatory by limiting launched boats to 10 IiP while larger boats are owned by lakeshore residents. Some felt this should remain just a rental area, and are opposed to -the additional traffic on the lake. Dale Furstenburg, Sheriff's Deputy, stated that there is no notice0l.e increase in traffic in this area; also the launch area permits ears to stop before entering Lake Elmo Avenue, thus avoiding accidents. Pott suggested limiting the number of boats launched. Armstrong moved, Morgan seconded, the City Council authorize a SUP to Donald. Durand for the paved driveway and turn around with the fol, lowing conditions: 1. He obtain the necessary County permits. 2. That he permit no more tha 11 boats to be launched at any one time; and that said boats should be either non —motorized or are boat operated by people who intend to fish. (This speoifioall excluded those launching boats with the intention to water ski.) 3. That he not exceed the legal nonconforming use of the property. 4. That he provide off—street parking for all clients. 5. He sign a Resolution providing for 1-1F above. This permit will be embodied in a resolution to be drafted by the City Attorney. Motion carried 4-1. Mottaz voting nay. TOM RAISIHis Application for Industrial Center in Section 32. Mr. Weer desires -to construct an Industrial Center on the Robert _ Fraser property in Section 32.
