Box 462 <br />Spring Park, MN 55384 <br />(612) 471-9479 Home <br />(612) 291-7790 Office <br />April 7, 1986 <br />The Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />P.O. Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />I strongly urge you to carefully consider the impact of granting a <br />conditional use permit, to create a recreation area on Deering Island, <br />will have on the environment in that area of Lake Minnetonka. <br />The West Arm on which Deering Island is located, is already heavily <br />overcrowded with boat traffic going between the upper and lower <br />lakes. The noise created by this traffic, especially on weekends, is <br />already a serious nuisance. The proposal to create additional boat <br />launching facilities on Lake Minnetonka will add to the problem of <br />overcrowding. <br />I recommend that the approval for this permit be denied or at least <br />that any decision be postponed until such time the Interested parties, <br />such as the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, the Metropolitan <br />Council, the Waterpatrol Division and above all the residents In the <br />immediate area have had a chance to voice their opinions. <br />Yours /Sincerely, <br />/ <br />Peter van Beek <br />f- <br />Pat Osmonson, City of Spring Park <br />Frank Mixa, Lake Minnetonka Conservation District <br />Don Omodt, Sheriff Hennepin County <br />Senator Gen Olson <br />Representative John Berger <br />Sandra Cardebring, Metropolitan Council <br />iifi.
