Appendix 3 <br />PARKING STANDARDS <br />LAKE MINNETONKA PUBLIC ACCESSES <br />The 1992 Lake Minnetonka Lake Access Task Force has adopted the goal of 700 long-term reliable spaces <br />for car/trailer parking in the vicinity of present and future access sites at Lake Minnetonka. The Task Force <br />further agrees that the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) implement these standards for <br />identifying and counting of car/trailer parking spaces and monitor progress toward the 700 goal on a <br />continuing basis. <br />The following set of standards has been adopted by the Task Force for application to Lake Minnetonka: <br />1. All spaces must be within 2,000' of a public access point. For car/trailers parked between 1,500' and <br />2,000', a temporary boat mooring facility at the ramp site for a number of boats equal to 10% of the <br />parking spaces must be provided. <br />2. All parking locations away from the access site should be provided with a long-term agreement, three <br />year minimum, with five years more desirable, on file with the LMCD. Within that time availability, <br />if any designated spaces need to be removed, they must be replaced with comparable spaces. <br />3. The location of parking spaces, either off-street or on -street away from the access site, must be <br />identified by clear, aesthetically attractive, consolidated, capable of being inexpensively updated, <br />signage. <br />4. All off-street spaces must be illustrated on a plan on file with the LMCD. The plan shall clearly <br />indicate each car/trailer space and adequate ingress, egress and maneuvering space. Parking space <br />minimum size standards (in feet): <br />Vehicle only 9 X 19 (Handicapped 12 x 19) <br />Car/trailer 10 X 40 <br />Off-street designated trailer parking on grass is acceptable if vehicle is parked on graded/paved <br />surface. <br />5. All spaces must be available on an unrestricted, first -come -first -served basis, 700 reliable spaces will <br />be available from Memorial Day to Labor Day from 5 pm on Fridays until midnight Sundays, and on <br />holidays. Fifty per cent of reliable spaces will be available weekdays. Hours of availability will be <br />determined by LMCD in cooperation with the DNR. <br />Vehicle -only spaces (no trailer) on public access parking lots can be counted toward the total goal of <br />700 car/trailer spaces provided that the number of such spaces counted for any given lot does not <br />exceed 10% of the total number of spaces on that lot. (Example: Out of 50 total parking spaces on <br />a lot, seven are for vehicle only. Only five of the seven may be counted toward the goal of 700 [i.e., <br />10% of 50=5].) <br />Page 14 <br />266 <br />
