<br />Chair Sand stated that docks should be addressed in an ordinance. <br /> <br /> <br />Beekman stated that docks wouldn't be under this ordinance and wasn't sure <br />which ordinance it would be under. <br /> <br />Commissioner Modesette stated that parking the docks and boat lifts are part of <br />the culture of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa inquired if the language about ownership in the current <br />zoning code is in the proposed code. Ms. Beekman stated that it is not in the <br />proposed code, but it should be included. Mr. Lehnhoff stated that it was missed <br />in the transfer and should have been included. <br /> <br />Chair Sand opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Sand invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and <br />make comment. <br /> <br />Steve Gericke, 1840 West County Road E., stated that he doesn't think that the <br />size limit should be increased from 24 feet to 28 feet. He suggested they look at <br />other cities and the limits they have. He stated he has a neighbor who has a <br />number of boats and cars parked in the yard that aren't screened and aren't <br />licensed. <br /> <br />Chair Sand inquired ifhe has contacted the City to address the issue. Mr. Gericke <br />stated that he has and there doesn't seem to be enforcement of the issue. He <br />stated that the neighbor will come into compliance for a short period of time, but <br />then parks additional things. <br /> <br />Chair Sand stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to limit the number ofRVs <br />and clarify what constitutes an RV. He inquired about Gericke's thoughts on the <br />limits of three RVs. Mr. Gericke stated that he thinks one RV is enough. <br /> <br />Chuck Mertensotto, 3473 Lake Johanna Blvd., stated he accesses his property <br />through an easement. He stated the neighbors could park an RV in such a way <br />that it would be highly visible from his property. He stated that there should be <br />some enforcement of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman stated he would be in favor oftabling the discussion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Larson stated he would like staff to inform them about the <br />parameters and rules of the DNR. <br />
