A well <br />designed and well maintained access will improve the experience of lake visitors, reduce conflicts <br />when launching, and enhance the appearance of the neighborhood. <br />On the other hand, a poorly designed access will increase traffic on neighborhood streets, lead to <br />more conflicts among users, and encourage uses which exceed the carrying capacity in the <br />surrounding bays. <br />I echo many of the concerns raised by others that: <br />Minnetonka needs, more than ever, a dedicated site for commercial and industrial launches, <br />loading , unloading, and staging. But that should not be the North Arm access. As you <br />may know, the most heavily used commercial -industrial access on Lake Minnetonka is <br />slated for redevelopment and will soon be closed. This will increase industrial uses of <br />other lake accesses. Waiting to address this concern is foolish. There is only a short <br />window of opportunity time to find a dedicated commercial access on the lake. <br />148 <br />
