1992 LMCD Lake Minnetonka Access Task Force Report <br />Other sites also have, a high potential for adding to reliable parking by agreement, namely: <br />1. Orono: <br />a. Hennepin County North Arm ramp and on -site lot (80 spaces) <br />b. County Road 51, serving Hennepin County North Arm ramp (31 spaces) <br />2. Spring Park, Spring Park Bay, with accompanying county maintenance yard nearby in Orono (86 <br />spaces) <br />3. Deephaven: <br />a. Carsons Bay, Minnetonka Blvd. ramp with city maintenance lot (30 spaces) <br />b. Carsons Bay, Minnetonka Blvd. ramp with school lot on Vinehill Road (40 spaces) <br />4. Wayzata: Wayzata Bay County Road 16 ramp , County Road 16 (40 spaces) <br />5. Mound: Mound Park Bay ramp, Cooks Bay (43 spaces) <br />NEW ACCESS SITES <br />The Task Force recommends the following sites as having the potential for becoming lake access sites. <br />The Site Evaluation Criteria are provided in APPENDIX 8, page 25. <br />Potential Sites <br />1. Tonka Bay City Dock, channel to Gideons Bay <br />2. Timber Lane Gideons Bay, Shorewood <br />3: 1VIai Ta `Restaurant'' Site, Excelsior Bay, Excelsior (property was sold) <br />4. 456 Arlington Ave., Wayzata Bay (private residence), Wayzata <br />5. Pelican Point, Spring Park Bay, Mound. <br />6. Lost Lake, Cooks Bay, Mound <br />7. Advance Machine, West Arm, Spring Park <br />Grays Bay Causeway <br />The unimproved substandard public access on Trunk Highway 101 will not be redeveloped as planned. <br />This represents a setback for public access development. The 32 spaces planned for the causeway had <br />been considered committed. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has abandoned plans to <br />improve the site. However, Wayzata and Minnetonka are continuing discussions about improvements at <br />the site. <br />Maxwell Bay <br />Up to 76 additional car/trailer parking spaces may be provided when the launch ramp is in place at <br />Maxwell Bay, Orono. This site continues to be examined. DNR Trails & Waterways and the City of <br />Orono are negotiating to purchase alternate properties. <br />EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION <br />Subcommittees discussed equitable distribution of car/trailer parking at Lake Minnetonka. The principle <br />adopted in earlier task force reports of dividing the lake into zones with equitable distribution was <br />endorsed. see APPENDIX 9, page 26. Each city is encouraged to contribute to the overall goal. If it <br />cannot contribute it may be asked to make voluntary payments for maintenance to those cities who do <br />provide car/trailer access. <br />Page 10 <br />261 <br />
