Many of these apply to lake use in general. Such concerns include the amount of traffic generated on the lake particularily as it relates to power craft. Additional issues relate to the impact on both land and lake use of facilities such as marinas may have on abutting and other lakeshore residents. The purpose of any committee formulated would be to determine if there is an appropriate policy direction that the City desires to undertake along with attendant strategies to achieve it. STRUCTURE - The possible development of a Lake Use Management Committee, whose primary focus is on Lake Minnetonka with an eye to other lake resources in the community, could be composed of three to seven persons including CounciImembers, Planning Commission, Park Commission members and other interested residents. SCOPE - The scope of the Committee could be broad enough to include all lake use management issues but the proposed areas for initial discussion (to some degree borrowing the format of LMCD's report) are as follows: A. Genera l Philosophy - One of the keys to determining whether the policy directions formulated in the LMCD's plan are in concert or opposition to those of the City of Orono is to look at the general premise on which the plan is based. If such premises on the surface differ from those of the City, determine if there is a way to jointly achieve the objectives of each. Shore Facilities - This is probably the area of largest concern at the present time because it is the one that most directly generates the amount of traffic on the lake. This includes (perhaps in a broader definition than LMCD's) marinas, lake oriented parks, public access, residential docks, municipal docks, and homeowner docks. The fact that the plan does promote development of certain facilities that generate traffic, * may well be of concern. C* Shoreland Regulations -"These are the regulations which generally apply to land use within 1,000 feet of the lakeshore. While in Orono not all the land within 1,000 feet is 'within our lakeshore district regulations, the vast majority of it is. These regulations generally set minimums and most of Orono's regulations are at or above those set forth in Attachment A of LMCD's regulations. It is presently anticipated that each community is free to be more restrictive, but not less restrictive than the regulations. D. Lake Use Management Organization - This is the issue as to what organizations have jurisdiction, how that's coordinated; and how that key organization (if there is is governed and funded. .Possibiyities include:^^'-^
