A date later than December 15 may be authorized in <br />writing by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol upon written request <br />by the owner prior to December 15. Written requests should be directed to: <br />Sheriff, Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol, P. 0. Box 187, Spring Park, <br />MH 55384. <br />The allowance for leaving buoys temporarily In the lake beyond December <br />15 is conditioned in part on whether or not they will create a hazard to <br />traffic on the lake ice. The Water Patrol will make that determination. <br />Buoys not removed in accordance with this requirement are considered <br />illegally placed and hazardous structures. Such structures are subject to <br />removal and impoundment by the sheriff if the owner fails to remove it upon <br />written notification, or if the owner cannot be located. <br />The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District encourages everyone to cooperate <br />with the spirit of the ordinance for everyone's safrty and enjoyment of the <br />lake. <br />Lake users are also asked to cooperate in removing all material taken <br />on the lake. Litter on the lake Ice is considered one of the most easy-to-avoid <br />problems. Disposal receptacles are at or near all public accesses. <br />Tour cooperation is appreciated by all. <br />XXX
