OFFICE OF THE SHERIFF April 16, 2025 Dear Mr. Hoang: HENNEPIN COUNTY, MN Thank you for allowing feedback on the North Arm Landing Project. Enhancing access to Public Waters in MN is of utmost importance. We thank you for you dedication in helping create that opportunity for water enthusiasts in Minnesota. We do have some suggestions that are based off what we have seen while working and enjoying water related recreation. 1. A recycling and garbage area should be available at the site. We understand that some people could abuse this and use it for other garbage. That is still better than throwing it in the ditch or another area. Having recycling type dumpsters are in line with the counites climate pledge. We request some type of garbage and recycling are added to the location. 2. Considering the size of the roads around this landing and landing, a mix of semi -trailers, dump trucks, heavy machinery and trucks with boats and trailers could cause traffic issues. With the understanding that barges and docks will need to use this area, they generally are able to launch very quickly. This is not true of dump trucks of material and heavy equipment. This could shut down the launch for extended periods of time. We request that heavy machinery and large construction equipment be restricted from use at this location. We believe this can be accomplished with cooperation with cities and time limits determined by city ordinance. Other, more minor, areas that we see as potential challenges are designated parking areas that specific for fishing only, will be difficult to enforce. Law enforcement does not have authority to differentiate on who uses what spot as long as cars are not parked in trailer only parking. We hope to work in partnership in this project for very clear signage in one spot that will define lake rules, AIS prevention, safety information and other Natural Resources information.
