Near Mountain Lake Association Dock Variance Request
Near Mountain Lake Association owns Outlot B of Reichert's Addition. The Association
members consist of Lots 1-8, Reichert's addition along Pleasant View Road on the east
side ofthenorthern tip of Lotus Lake (figure 1). We are one ofthe oldest ifnot the
oldest lake association on Lotus Lake. We have long standing membership with an
average time of home ownership for our current members of approximately 16 years. We
have always been good stewards of the lake and shoreline.
We, the Near Mountain Lake Association, are requesting a variance to allow a second
seasonal, 50 foot dock on the southern portion of our Association's recreational beach lot
(Outlot B) on Lotus Lake as shown in figure 2. Further, we request 4 boat slips per dock
for a total of 8 slips. Currently, a single 50 foot seasonal dock is used for 3 boats on the
southern portion of the lot.
Under Sec. 20-266 of the Chanhassen City Code:
"(7) The maximum number of docks on a recreational beach lot is three. No dock shall
be permitted on any recreational beach lot unless the beach meets the following
conditions:
a. Shoreline of at least 200 feet per dock; and
b. Area of at least 30,000 square feet for the first dock and additional 20,000 square feet
for each additional dock."
Outlot B has 600 feet of shoreline and an area of 46000 square feet according to City of
Chanhassen records. This is likely based on a survey from the early 1980's (figure 2). A
more recent survey was conducted in 2005 which shows the area to be 38350 square feet
(figure 3). We believe the reduction in area may be a result of settling. We have never
added fill to the northern two thirds of Outlot B where it appears we have lost land area
(compare figures 2 and 3). Had we added fill over the years, we may have maintained
the earlier size, however we have chosen to respect the natural state of the land.
We have enough shoreline to support 2 and even 3 docks, however we are short of the
required 50000 square feet for 2 docks. We are asking for a variance that will permit the
use of a second dock in spite of the square foot shortage. The southern portion of
shoreline where the current dock is used and where we propose to locate the second dock
is not in a designated wetland area. Only the northern 150 feet of shoreline on Outlot B is
wetland according to the National Wetland Inventory.
Precedents:
We believe exceptions from city code regarding shoreline use have been granted for other
Lotus Lake associations. Some examples are:
1. The Lotus Lake Betterment Association (Sandy Hook) has a recreational lot of
unknown area with a shoreline of25 feet (figure 4). They are well short of the 200 foot
shoreline requirement but have a permit for a 100 foot dock with no stated boat limit.
Typically, they have approximately 6 boats moored at the dock.
2. Lotus Lake Estates Association (Choctaw) has a large beachlot of 92700 square feet
and 900 feet of shoreline (figure 5). They have a permit for three docks which falls
within the city code requirements, but the permit also allows them to have 4 sailboat
moorings. This exceeds the city code sec 20-266 which states, "Up to three sailboat
moorings shall be allowed."
3. Kurver's Point Association has two docks with a total of 10 slips. They have 56000
square feet with 460 feet of shoreline (figure 6). This is sufficient for 2 docks, but the
code states, "(6) No recreational beach lot shall be used for purposes of overnight
storage or overnight mooring of more than three motorized or nonmotorized watercraft
per dock."
4. Fox Chase/Lotus Lake Dock and Trail Association has one large permanent dock on
the lot of 732 Lake Point. This dock has 7 slips for the 7 homes along the DNR protected
wetland on the northwest shoreline (figure 7). Again, the number of boat slips exceeds
that allowed by the city code.
These are 4 associations that have been granted dock usage beyond the requirements of
the city code. There may be other examples as well.
We believe that our request for 2 simple straight docks, 50 feet in length that will allow 4
boat slips per dock for a total of 8 boat slips meets the general conditions for a variance
sec 20-58:
1 ) We are asking for reasonable use as other associations have been granted.
2) Recreational beach lot requirements suggest a variance is needed.
3) We are making this request only for enjoyment ofthe lake.
4) Our hardship is not self-created
5) Variance will not be detrimental to public welfare or injurious to other land. The
shoreline will remain natural and undisturbed. No water or ,shore vegetation will
be disturbed.
6) a. street congestion will not be increased. Outlot B is within 500 feet of all home
lots (walking distance).
b. visibility is not affected
c. fire danger is not increased
d. public safety is not diminished
e. neighboring property values are not impaired
We will continue to be good stewards of the lake and the shoreline. We will continue to
preserve the northern two-thirds of Outlot B and it's shoreline in its undisturbed natural
state (figure 8).
Respectfully submitted,
Near Mountain Lake Association
