MCWD Board of Managers 2 <br /> January 26,2010 <br /> ` are noble,we feel that putting undo restrictions and requirements on lakeshore residents <br /> is not the best way to achieve those goals. <br /> The city questions whether the increased permitting requirements and the cost of <br /> implementing the new regulations will actually preclude riparian property owners from <br /> even undertaking shoreline stabilization projects because the process is so daunting. (i.e. <br /> completion of the erosion intensity worksheet, recordable maintenance agreements, etc.) <br /> Spring Park agrees with the Technical Advisory Committee that increased education and <br /> outreach efforts would appropriately and effectively advance the District's interest in <br /> greater use of biological and bioengineered stabilization techni9ues without being overly <br /> restrictive of shoreline work. <br /> Lake Minnetonka is classified as an urban, recreational lake. The City of Spring Park <br /> values this important natural resource and strives to be a good steward of the lake. We <br /> agree with the comments from Mound and Orono, our neighboring cities, and urge the <br /> district to carefully reconsider the restrictive nature of the proposed changes to rules D and <br /> F. We appreciate the opportunity to comment and would welcome the opportunity to meet <br /> with district staff or district managers before any formal action is taken by the board on <br /> rules D and F. If you have any questions, please contact City Administrator Jim Brimeyer at <br /> (952) 471-9051. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> City of Spring Park <br /> Sarah Reinhardt, Mayor <br />
