Shaw explained that in applying to the various environmental
agencies, those agencies have required that the dock length
be 150' , plus the terminal platform, to maintain the proper
water depths for mooring the boats. Scott Ladd explained that
since 1987 when DNR started their grasses concerns, the
Village has issued variances for piers ranging in length from
96 feet to 126 feet.
Ross Dudley, 32 Shady Lane, adjacent to the subject property,
stated he was neither for nor against this application, but
desired to see some stakes with flags on top put in where the
dock will be so he could judge from his residence what the
view would be like. He further stated his dock is 50 feet and
his boat draws 27 inches. The previous owner of his property
has a 40 foot boat.
Jim Cates, 24 Yacht Club Place, west of the subject property,
