PUBLIC HEARINGS: Upper Lame 1 #1tka Yacht
Shorewood Yacht Club
Wild Duck - 3rd Ad dition
The Planning Commission of the City of Shorewood met to hold three public hearings
on Thursday, April 28, 1977, at Minnewashta Elementary School, Chairman Watten pre-
siding. Also present were J. Brecke, J. Cole, S. Larson, J. Miller, F. Reese,
K. Stover and John Sanders of the city attorney's office.
Brecke moved, Stover seconded, to dispense with approving the minutes.of the last
meeting and defer it to the next. Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Watten opened the Public Hearing on the request for a Ccnditiorkal. Use permit
by the upper Lake Minnetonka Yacht Club on property described as Lots l and 2, En-
chanted Park, Enchanted Island. He made note that there was on file at city hall'
a certified copy of the published legal notice and that public hearing notices had
been sent to all property owners within 300 of the Yacht Club property. State
ments from the proposers, from residents, and reports from the attorney and engineer
are also on file.
Dick Putnam, Casco Point Road, Orono, Vice Commodore of the Upper.Lake Minnetonka
Yacht Club, reviewed the history of the Club, which was originally granted a special
use permit in 1969. It is dedicated to sport sailing, racing being an integr al
part of .their activities, and is not a commercial facility. Having started with
an undeveloped piece of land, they.feel it has become an asset'to; the area because
they try to keep it in a park -like manner and made it available to nearby resi
dents to use during the week.. No buildings at present, but they hope to construct
a 1200 -1600 square feet summer type building in the future. They pare looking for
40 parking spaces and would seek to control the influx of traffic'by requiring car
pooling of its members. Drainage this spring was a problem and they intend to work
with residents and city to correct it. Because of the difference in boats used
now as over against in 1969, they need to request change in facilities and would
also like to enlarge the dockage. They are seeking a conditional use in an R -1
zone as permitted in Section 18, Subd. 3 of Ordinance No. 77
Carol P.ascop, Enchanted Island, (neighbor to (club) read a statement by .Tim Thibault,
the neighbor on the other side. She listed areas where it was felt the Yacht glue
had deviated from the terms of the Special Use Permit:
No mooring of boats beyond 9 :00 p.m. In some cases boats were moored
overnight
Buoys remained in all winter.
Yacht Club did not get building permit to construct parking area and
it is not a dust-free surface.
Conflict of interest represented in Mr. Jack Chandler who is a member
of the Club and was on the Council when they voted to .approve the
Special Use permit.
Even though new zoning ordinance was passed in 1973 which allows for a
yacht club in an R -1 zone under a conditional permitted use, the Yacht`
Club did not come in under that provision for any :of the,ntervening
years.
Other residents speaking to problems raised by the Yacht Club in that area were:
Bill Ringsred, 0. B. Lund, Helen Tollefson, Robert Rasoop, Jim Kimball, all of
Enchanted Island. Matters of concern were:
