This public hearing addressed car/trailer <br />parking at the city's public accesses for purposes of <br />entering into an agreement with LMCD to meet its portion of <br />the car/trailer parking goals for Lake Minnetonka. <br />The subcommittee agreed with Foster's request. Foster then <br />explained his understanding that Germanson had spoken on <br />behalf of LMLOA and the Access Siting Subcommittee in stating <br />he believes the city has the "cart before the horse" and was <br />preiriture in considering an access agreement at this time. <br />Foster also understood that Germanson stated the Lake Access <br />Task Force would rather see fewer large accesses on the lake. <br />Germanson responded that he attended the meeting on req«^est <br />of residents in the Phelps Bay/Tuxedo Blvd. who were <br />concerned about the public use of the Douglas Beach access <br />area: Germanson said the parking agreements were to be a <br />coordinated effort between the cities, LMCD, DNR, Hennepin <br />County and others. He felt the cart is before the horse as <br />this access agreement is a thing between the LMCD and the <br />city. H6 thsn added that he sees the accesses as out of <br />control. There are no inspections or efforts to protect the <br />lake from exotics coming in. There is no environmental <br />protection around the lake. He believes the Tuxedo Blyd. <br />access on Phelps Bay should be closed as being too small. <br />Foster stated his understanding that the Lake Access Task <br />Force effort at this time is to certify the car/trailer <br />parking at existing accesses. He agrees that evervLuasome <br />of the smaller accesses may be closed as more and fewer <br />larger accesses come into being. The subcommittee agreec <br />with Foster’s understanding. <br />Foster continued that if LMLOA wants controlled accesses, <br />thej need to bring that up to the Lake Access Tas»t Force, nut <br />promoted by LMLCA outside of the Task Force. <br />Grathwol added that the Task Force is not presently operating <br />to deal with controls for lebra musse* ana other exo.^c.;..
