Commission Business Chairperson Bauer asked if there are regulations or suggestions as to how far into the river a dock can project. City Planner Anderson replied that a dock should not project any further into the river than would be considered navigable water. He noted that 3.5 to four feet in depth would be navigable water. Chairperson Bauer asked the width of the river in that location. City Planner Anderson estimated a width of about 700 feet. Commissioner Gengler asked if any of the nearby properties have docks. City Planner Anderson replied that he has not seen any docks for the immediate adjacent properties but noted that many properties remove their docks during the winter months. He commented that there is a dock about four or five properties to the west. Commissioner Anderson stated that he is concerned with the proximity to the neighboring properties and how the boats would get to the dock. He stated that it would appear that there is not much space and that tree removal would be necessary. He stated that he is not in favor of Planning Commission/ June 4, 2020 Page 10 of 18
