NEAR MOUNTAIN LAKE ASSOCIATION BEACHLOT, OUTLOT B, REICHERT’S
ADDITION: REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR
THE ADDITION OF A SECOND DOCK.
Public Present:
Name Address
Jahn & Amy Dyvik 610 Pleasant View Road
Steve Wanek 6613 Horseshoe Curve
Kate Aanenson presented the staff report and update from the Planning Commission.
Councilman Lundquist asked for comparisons to other beachlots on Lotus Lake and dock
regulations. Roger Knutson provided a summary of the registration process the City undertook a
number of years ago on recreational beachlots. Representing the Near Mountain Lake
Association beachlot, Jahn Dyvik presented highlights of their request. Kate Aanenson and
Roger Knutson clarified the city’s use of the Ordinary High Water Level in determining lot area.
After council discussion the following motion was made.
Councilman Peterson moved, Councilman Lundquist seconded that the City Council denies
the request for a Conditional Use Permit amendment and variances for the lot area
requirement necessary for the second dock, based on the findings of fact in the staff report
and the following:
1. The applicant has not demonstrated a hardship.
2. The applicant has reasonable use of the property.
3. A revised conditional use permit with intensified use may reduce public safety due to
parking on the sub-standard streets and poor sight lines.
4. If this variance is approved, other recreational beachlots in Chanhassen will likely seek
variances from lot area restrictions.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 4 to 0.
