Heilo Mr.Wisker <br /> I have reviewed the draft of Rule F and have some comments. <br /> 1.I think your role in"controAing"and"protecting"and"managing" is fine. <br /> 2.I think tfi�at moving to"preventing"and"restoring" is going too far. I think"prevention"is often hard <br /> to accomplish and "restoring"sounds like you plan to take away things that already exist. i don't fike <br /> that idea. <br /> 3. In your dacument the Rulemaking Task Force cautions the MCWD against"overly prescriptive <br /> regulatians..."That is what I am trying to say above. <br /> 4.Along these same lines I suggest you focus on land(shorelines}that are currently undevekoped.Here <br /> is where you can truly"prevent" bad things from happening. <br /> 5.The documents speak of the need for education,which l agree witfi.There are lots of different cities <br /> with their own planning commissions,parks commissions and city councils,all of whom need to be <br /> aware.Even more challenging are the hundreds of contractors, builders, iandscapers,seawall builders, <br /> etc.who need to be informed. eeyond that are the real estate people who need to know that someone <br /> buying a waterfront property will have to abide by such regutations. How do you get to such a braad <br /> audience7 <br /> 6. I believe that different types of watercourses may need difFerent types of regulations.For exampte <br /> the Mpls Chain of Lakes(part of the parks system, no motorboats,etc.)are completely different from <br /> watercourses that are fully{or nearly fully)developed(Medicine lake, Bryant Lake, Christmas Lake, Lake <br /> Minnetonka,Lake Minnewashta,etc.),where motorboats abound. Although I am not an expert an <br /> creeks,I think managing a meandering creek like Minnehaha Creek may have unique challenges <br /> associated with it,compared to a lake. <br /> 6.the documents include an "erosion intensity formu la."Wow! How is the common person supposed to <br /> understand this? <br /> 7. How will enforcement be done if this passes? <br /> Thank you forthe chance to comment on this,,l honestly hope that there has been a groundswell of <br /> comrnents that will requi�e the MCWD to rethink this proposal. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Tom Skramstad <br /> tom@theskra mstads,com <br /> 952-474-5374 <br />
