3-ct Jim Giathwol, Chairman LMCD-Lake Access "^iskforce 216 Water Street Excelsior, Minnesota 55331 2-22-93 Dear Jim, As we have discussed previously, the City of Tonka Bay is receptive to "discussing" the possible expansion of public access in the vicinity of the existing Tonka Bay City docks. The City understands the need for defining public access sites on Lake Minnetonka and is willing to discuss their role in that process. As an "offset” for expanding the public access In this area, however, the City would expect some concessions from the DNR and other appropriate agencies. This list of concessions includes, but may not be limited to the following: 1.Retention of all existing docks and slides as licensed by the LMCD. 2.The dredging of the channel leading from the main lake to the City dock area and ramp. 3. 4. The rip rap of the entrance to the channel from the main lake. The construction of a retaining wall in the vicinity of the existing City docks. 5.The construction o^ a public fishing pier (this is also being pursued with Gene Strommen as part of the Shoreline Fishing initiative). 6.Construction of additional lighting and fencing on arid In the vicinity of the City docks to ensure protection of boats stored at that location. 7.Construction of paved walkways within the existing City park to provide access to and"rorthe City docks, fishing pier (if constructed) and the publ.c access. 8.Construction of an expanded parking area for public use. This may be in the area located between the City Hall and highway 19. 9.Complete paving of the existing City parking area immediately adjacent to the ramp location and the existing City docks. J
