Jemiint^s Bay <br />at Sea Horse Condominiums, 1 slip, apolicant will furnish a <br />letter of approval from Seahorse Condominiums. <br />Dou^ Waldocii, 4215 North Shore Drive. Mound. West Arm <br />Motion carried. <br />9. Proposed l)NU Access at Maxwell Bay <br />The executive director presented a report on the proposed <br />DNR access for Maxwell Bay. He said ..^oEllen Hurr. Orono. reports <br />that the DNR proceeded on the access acquisition because they <br />were invited to purchase the land. t>ne ot the points tavoring <br />this access is that it satisfies a Management Plan objective to <br />provide more car/trailer parking, but the Management Plan does <br />not require an access ramp. Hurr advised tne executive directoi <br />that the DNR would be better served by looking for more <br />car/trailer parking space not on the Lake shore. <br />The executive director continued that tlie Lake Minnetonka <br />Lakeshore Owners Association (LMLOA) is concerned about adding <br />another access in that bay as there is an access in North Arm. <br />The LMLOA's line of reasoning is to get the DNR to move the <br />access or go for parking off the Lake. The LMLOA is pointing out <br />to the residents that this is a marginal site f^r any form of <br />development. T'he long term potential for that site would woik <br />well for park property. <br />Foster said he has some concei'ns that in tlie Management Plan <br />LMCD confirmed the need for 7U0 car-trailer spots. The Lake <br />needs more car/trailer parking. This site i.s between two marinas <br />in a highly commercial area of the Lake. Foster* suggests the <br />LMCD support the plan. Slocum added this site is practically <br />commercial anyway. , . , r <br />Grathwol suggested the committee determine what kind of ramp <br />would be the best. Grathwol suggested the ramp, as this location <br />is a shallow area, would be good for small boats. The DMR should <br />build a model ramp for smaller boats. <br />Babcock said he does not want more acoes.s point.s because ot <br />the Zebra Mussel threat. He reminded the committee that <br />the Management Plan calls for the LMCD to be the lead agency for <br />developing the Lake. <br />Foster noted this is a modest 25 car access. The ramp <br />should be of the shallowest design for small boats. <br />Slocum said it is a rarity to get a new access. He believes <br />the committee should support the acquisition. <br />Babcock moved. Foster seconded, to recommend a sub-committee <br />he formed to work with the DNR giving general support to the <br />acquisition of public access at Maxwell Bay. The subcommittee is <br />to include representatives of local residents, the DNR and to <br />include Hurr. Motion carried. . <br />Reese mentioned that Hennepin Cou^Vy has posted No Trailer <br />Parking*'signs on Bartlett Blvd. near the Hound City access. He <br />said parking has not been a problem on thiii street. Foster said <br />conversely on County Road 16. that road Is signed to re.strict <br />parking to car trailer parking.
