February 7, 1990 Municipal access will be fix at existing levels when density 7.0 acres per boat is reached. The frontage foot rules will be reviewed to determine of more restrictive ones are needed. At density 6.0, further growth of access at multiple docks must be linked to development of additional anchorage opportunities (similar to the north side of Big Island, but on a smaller scale). A program to eliminate grandfathering at municipal and homeowner association docks is initiated. Further restriction of boat storage rules will be examined. At density 5.0, there will be a policy of no growth on all forms of access. Grandfathering of storage will be eliminated and further restriction of all forms of access will be reviewed. Other management objectives for access include: 1. u*:ing zoning of the lake (as cities use zoning on land) to implement the access controls, work with the cities to optimize winter access over public lands, improve regulation of ice houses, cooperate with state and regional agencies to obtain funding for the program of adding additional car/trailer parking at public access, and implement a program of remote parking with shuttle service as needed at new public access points on the lake. 2. 3. 4. 5. Management of recreational use of the lake employs the same concept as lake access controls. The increased regulation of use begins with designating and creating anchorages and destinations for boaters, implementing a boating education program, limiting boat wakes, and restricting the use of personal watercraft. The legislative program for licensing boat operators and titling and registration of boats is provided. At density 7.0 acres per boat the more restrictive regulation includes reviewing speed limits, use and storage of boats on individual bays, and maximum length for boats. A certificate from an approved beater education course will be required to operate a boat on the lake if the legislature fails to initiate a boat operator license program. Ultralights will be restricted from using the lake's surface. A study of conflicts will be conducted. Finally, emphasis on anchorage opportunities, or destinations, continues. At density 6.0 and 5.0, use restrictions between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm on weekends and holidays are increased. Anchorage opportunities continue to increase. Other management objectives to be implemented as soon as possible include: 1. seeking legislative authority over parking, hard cover and sanitary facilities at any facility that requires a multiple dock license, develop a plan for controlling dock use areas under various water levels, and review buffer zones, speed limits and quiet water areas from time to time. 2. 3.
