Response to Orono Police Department Questions <br />Lake Minnetonka North Arm Public Access <br />Parking <br />Will the larger parking spots be labeled (Vehicle with Trailers only)? <br />Yes. This will make it enforceable. <br />Center parking Area — will there be barriers preventing vehicle from occupying two drive thru parking <br />spots? <br />No. Unless it becomes a problem, then bollards or wheel stops will be installed. <br />Will contract and construction vehicle be allowed to park in vehicle with trailer parking. <br />No. That would not be consistent with the signage. Use by construction vehicles — including city projects <br />such as water main issues — has historically occurred at public accesses throughout the state at times of <br />low public use. We plan on being a good neighbor and use common sense. The Orono Police Department <br />(PD) and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) can address any complaints as deemed appropriate. <br />Who enforces construction material staging areas and commercial activities at this site when it conflicts <br />with trailer parking? <br />Staging material is not allowed. The county has not witnessed any staging occurring. Parking rules do not <br />distinguish between commercial and non-commercial users. Orono PD and the HCSO can address any <br />complaint calls as deemed necessary. Lake Minnetonka is very large and there are only so many places to <br />get on the water. It is understood that public access facilities represent a transportation pathway to go <br />between land and water. For example, Emergency Management could take over the entire site. We must <br />acknowledge transportation needs. <br />Are the smaller parking areas going to restrict trailer parking? I have seen trailers disconnected and a <br />trailer is in one spot, and the vehicle is in another. Will there be signage for use of these spots. <br />The smaller parking spaces are vehicle only and will be signed accordingly. A disconnected trailer would <br />violate the intended use as indicated by the signage. This has been historically challenged at the State <br />level; to make this an enforceable action, the smaller parking spaces will be signed 'Single Car Parking <br />Only'. <br />Maneuverability <br />Will the access be labeled with arrows for usage? <br />Yes. Clear and simple wayfinding cues increase safety and efficiency. <br />Will commercial activity be allowed on weekends during the typical boating season? Who enforces the <br />usage if there are restrictions? Is it a good mix of commercial use and recreational use on weekends? <br />There are a variety of users at public accesses. Secondary uses are allowed provided they do not interfere <br />98 <br />
