Additionally, on page ten, under the consideration of the <br />Chip Martin application for multiple principal buildings on a lot, a <br />statement should be added that "Mayor Gunkel indicated that approval of <br />this application would legitimize an existing nonconforming use and that <br />the City has historically been very reluctant to take such action." <br />Also, it should be noted that Councilmember Dobel returned to the Council <br />table prior to the check register being considered, which made the vote <br />on the check register 5-0 instead of 4-0. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER TRALLE MOVED TO APPROVE THE 4/18/88 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AS <br />AMENDED.

They indicated to the Council <br />that contact has been made with Sherburne County Staff member, Dave <br />Anderson, who has jurisdiction over the City's water ways and the County <br />has no problems issuing an annual permit for such a water skiing slalom <br />course. However, the County did instruct Shawn and John to contact the <br />City Council for its approval. The main issue raised by the City Council <br />over such a water skiing course on Lake Orono related to safety concerns <br />for the nonexperienced water skiers, the fisherman in the area. the <br />recreation boaters in the area, and the swimmers. Shawn and John <br />indicated that they have also made contact with the Lake Shore Home Owner <br />
