INTRUSION OF BOAT DOCK INTO CITY RIGHT OF WAY The City Manager and City Attorney referred to their reports which were included in the Council packet. The City Manager said the Park Board expressed their desire to have the dock on the southeast side of Lake Lane, which is intruding into the right of way by approximately two feet, removed or relocated. They also wanted a legal opinion. Mr. Dodge explained that the dock has been in its present location since the late 1930s. He did not want to make an issue on the location of the dock unless the owner applies for a variance to change the dock. The Park Board felt strongly about having it removed, therefore, it was brought to the attention of the City Council to get it resolved. The City Attorney noted that the only item that was not in his enclosed opinion is there could be a very expensive litigation just trying to establish what the damages are, etc. He also explained that the court would have to determine the property line as it extends into the lake. The City Manager felt if anyone buys that lot in the future, they would want to build a new dock which would be more attractive. The new dock would have to conform to code. Councilperson Yoler, representative on the Park Board, agreed with the City Manager. Messmer suggested a letter be sent to the property owner informing him we had the dock surveyed and it does encroach into the City right of way. The City is not insisting that it be removed at this time but we are not waiving any right. He should be aware that if there are any plans to repair, improve, or replace the dock, he will have to get the City's approval. Council approved. Mayor King would like to have their thoughts conveyed to the Park Board. REPORTS 10 The City Manager reported he did write a letter to the State requesting they keep the gate closed to SR-520.
