controls" a. ) Means all 14 cities around Lake Minnetonka. b. ) How LMCD's process would satisfy this requirement. c. ) DNR’s basis for requiring comprehensive land use planning beyond setting zoning district and criteria (not allocation or location of those zones.) While it is convenient for DNR to work jointly with the 14 cities rather than with them independentlyf does DNR have a legal basis to discrimate against cities as to funding and flexibility when they will independently deal with other cities in the Metro area who share the same water resources and were to even deal with selected LMCD cities on all other water bodies in their community apart from Lake Minnetonka. Issue #2 - The "Group of 8" as a follow up to their 12/6 meeting, reconvened on January 8th to determine appropriate directions as to LMCD's plan review at Metro Council, determine if representative position alteration may impact an amendment to the plan and what concerted action, if any, should be taken regarding LMCD. The two primary issues are; local control of surface use and land use regulations. The cities feel that LMCD should generally remain as originally constituted dealing with surface use management only and that local communities handle land use and where required deal with Metro Council on comprehensive plan amendments and DNR on shoreland requirements. LMCD's comprehensive plan changes that in that the degree of local control of lake surface is lessened and inserts LMCD as an additional layer of government in land use. REPRESENTATION - One of the actions discussed was appointing representatives who may be more reflective of their city council's position in those cities who opposed adoption but whose representatives voted for the plan. Deephaven did reappoiiiC Burt Foster but Greenwood is possibly not reappointing David Cochran.

CITIES - The 5 cities represented at the January 8th "cities meeting", all indicated they would proceed separately with DNR on shoreland regulations at this point. METRO COUNCIL - The Mayors of Wayzata and Spring Park, together with representatives of Excelsior and Orono outlined their objections to LMCD's plan to Metro Council's System's Committee at their January 8th meeting. The thrust was that LMCD apparently felt compelled to move forward because of prodding by Metro Council, and that given the cities dissent Metro Council could now direct LMCD to resolve the discrepencies including whether LMCD is required by Metro Council to be invol /ed in land
