Hi Correy,
Attached is the letter that our planner put together.
Paul stopped by last week and wanted to know what he would need to be able to store the boat at 4444 Shoreline and I
told him that he would need to get a conditional use permit from the City, which would have to be approved by the City
Council. The process alone would probably take 45 to 60 days and there is no guarantee that the Council would even
approve it so it seems like he really has no good options as of right now...

Happy Monday all,
I just received this this afternoon from the Paul Bergquist.
Until I receive actual verification that this is a legal load, I will not consider a permit. I also need to know where we are at
and if this changes anything that was discussed last week.

Mr. Olmstead, this email should address some of the concerns brought forth by your office.
I received confirmation from my insurance agent that we have appropriate coverage.
While I know there are some deficiencies in our trailer to be 100% DOT legal, it is a structurally sound trailer.
It has been verified by Kelly's Wrecker Service that it can be towed legally, under MN statute (attached). Having Kelly's
haul the load is the safest way to remedy this situation and alleviate your concerns and making this a 100% legal move.
Please reconsider and issue my permit. We take every safety precaution and have several expert opinions that this move
can be done quickly (25 minutes) and without incident.
I also have information that the trailer meets axle specs (at least for this time of year).
Without someone willing to talk about it, I am unclear as to what additional remedies I need to address.
Taking the boat off the trailer to put it on another flatbed is extremely dangerous- far more so than bringing it 3 blocks
as it currently sits using a wrecker.
If I am allowed to have this hauled as it sits, the load will then be in a safe place. It will then be able to be futher
evaluated and all additional concerns addressed at that time and the trailer be made fully compliant before its next
move.
If there is further explanation or documention you need, please let me know and I will be happy to provide it.
Thank you, in advance
Paul 952-212-7400

RE. Outdoor Storage at 4444 Shoreline Drive
To whom it may concern.
Donnybrook Service Center
4444 Shoreline Drive
Spring Park, Minnesota
55384
At the end of December 2021, a 45 foot long boat traversed Lake Minnetonka,
breaking through the ice to reach the Hennepin County boat launch in Spring Park.
This boat now sits on a trailer at the Hennepin County boat launch. At some point
the County will require this boat to removed from their property. The Hennepin
County Water Patrol and the Orono Police Chief has informed the City that the
proposed destination of this boat is 4444 Shoreline Drive in Spring Park.
With this letter we are advising you that the transport and storage of this boat to
property at 4444 Shoreline Drive in Spring Park is prohibited by the City zoning
Code.
In 2000, Donnybrook Service Center was pursuing an automobile dealer's license
for the property at 4444 Shoreline Drive in Spring Park. The automobile dealer's
license application required the City to sign off on the application stating that the
property was conforming to the City Zoning.
As a condition of the license approval, Donnybrook was required to bring their non-
conforming site conditions into compliance with City requirements. The conditions
of approval included:
City of Spring Park 4349 Warren Avenue, Spring Park, MN 55384
Phone: (952) 471-9051 / Fax: (952) 471-9160 / Web: www.ci.spring-park.mn.us
1. All outdoor storage shall be limited to restoration vehicles, auto parts and
tires associated with the Donnybrooke Service Center business. No out-
door storage of trash or refuse will be permitted.
2. Add vegetative screening on the east side of the building to screen the
east service door from the adjacent property.
3. All outdoor storage shall be limited to the area shown on the applicant's
site plan behind the buildings and may not encroach into the required
parking area.
4. No outdoor storage shall be stacked over seven (7) feet in height.
The City cooperated with you, to allow for the state license to be approved for your
site. The relocation and storage of the boat to 4444 Shoreline Drive violates the
City Zoning code related to outdoor storage and the past approval. The approved
outdoor storage items for Donnybrooke Service Center do not include boat storage
(personal watercraft) and the boat storage would also exceed the height limitation
of the previous approval.
If you proceed to relocate the boat to 4444 Shoreline Drive, the City will immedi-
ately proceed with enforcement of it Zoning Code and revocation of all past ap-
provals. The City will pursue legal remedies to have the boat removed from the
City at your expense.
If you have any questions regarding this letter you may contact me at (763) 242-
1100.
Sincerely
Alan Brixius
