COON LAKE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT - (CLID)
REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM PROPERTY FEE ASSESSMENT
(Must be presented at a CLID board meeting in person)
ON January 28, 2008, the Anoka County Board of Commissioners created an “Order Establishing the Coon
Lake Improvement District “in Resolution # 2008-10.
In that order, it was resolved that the boundaries of the district were defined as:
“The boundaries of the Coon Lake Improvement District shall include those parcels that abut Coon Lake,
including the man-made channel. “
The order further went on to say that “WHEREAS, the advisory report from the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, which was read into the record at the public hearing, notes approval for the proposed
boundaries with a request the county board consider limiting the authority of the lake improvement
district to matters that can be addressed by the riparian property owners…”
Per the definition of Riparian Water Rights,
Under the riparian principle, all landowners whose property is adjacent to a body of water have the right
to make reasonable use of it. If there is not enough water to satisfy all users, allotments are generally fixed
in proportion to frontage on the water source. These rights cannot be sold or transferred other than with
the adjoining land, and water cannot be transferred out of the watershed.
Riparian rights include such things as the right to access for swimming, boating and fishing; the right to
wharf out to a point of navigability; the right to erect structures such as docks, piers, and boat lifts; the
right to use the water for domestic purposes; the right to accretions caused by water level fluctuations.
Riparian rights also depend upon "reasonable use" as it relates to other riparian owners to ensure that the
rights of one riparian owner are weighed fairly and equitably with the rights of adjacent riparian owners.   On July 22nd, 2009 in the Annual Meeting of the CoonLake Improvbement District, it was voted on and approved by a majority of members at the meeting to fund the districts activities via an annual fee of $300 to eligible district properties via collection of fees by the county on the 2010 tax statements.
This Form is to request a waiver from assessment of the annual fee for 2010 of $300
