LAKE MINNETOMKA CONSERVATION DISTRICT FEB 3 195 <br />February 2, 1994 <br />To: City Administrators <br />From: Rachel Thibault, Admin. Technician <br />Subj: Lakeshore lighting regulations <br />In response to concerns that the number of bright, <br />exposed lights on the lake are increasing, the LMCD has <br />formed a Lakeshore Lighting subcommittee. The goal of the <br />subcommittee is to look at alternatives for light fixtures <br />that would provide security and safety, but not bo obtrusive <br />to people using and living on the lake. <br />The LMCD Code Section 2.03, Subd. 12. states that <br />multiple dock licensees must ensure that their lights do not <br />affect adjoining dock use areas and are not a hazard to <br />navigation. The subcommittee plans to develop an ordinance <br />that would specifically address acceptable types of light <br />fixtxires for shoreline and dock lighting at residential and <br />commercial sites. A further goal is to develop a model <br />lighting ordinance that could be used by lake cities. <br />A public hearing will be held on Wednesday, February 23, <br />6:30 PM at the Tonka Bay City Hall to discuss possible <br />lakeshore lighting regulations. The LMCD Board invites your <br />comments and suggestions. <br />This subject has been addressed at the Technical Review <br />Committee, Wo would like to know if any now ordinances have <br />* I . <br />boon adopted in your city addressing lakeshore lighting. If <br />so, please forward a copy before 2/16, so wo may include it <br />with the public hearing agenda. Thanks for your assistance! <br />end: advance copy of public hearing notice
