I want to re emphasize my concerns <br />1) Minnetonka will need, more than ever, a site for commercial and industrial launch, loading, <br />unloading and staging <br />2) The vision the county has that the site would be used for a short 30 minutes for launching <br />and loding barges is false. It might be true for a pickup unloading a boat lift but not for the <br />scope of the projects that will need access- please see enclosed photos. From earth movers to <br />70ft. 18 wheelers that will take hours to unload and days if not months to complete the <br />projects and there need to be places to park for days. <br />3) The proposal for commercial/industrial use of the access is clearly outside the zoning of the <br />parcel and in violation of the public access task force mandated by the governor which <br />requires that the accesses will be spread throughout the community. I am enclosing the task <br />force report. Clustering such activity within half a mile nestled in a residential community is <br />unacceptable. Two marinas, two public accesses within a half a mile stretch within an Orono <br />residential community. <br />4) History and intent of North Arm access has been an access for fishermen and family use. <br />The large industrial use of it would not only be in conflict with those who use it now but it <br />would create an imminent danger for the less experienced boater/ driver using the access. <br />5) The proposed use would drastically change the characteristics of the area , not only on <br />water, but throughout surrounding land and feeder roads to the site <br />166 <br />
