We would like you to review <br />the issues <br />set forth <br />in this <br />cover memo together with the <br />issues <br />listed in <br />the attar;ied <br />memo for discussion at -ur November <br />12th <br />meeting. <br />As you are aware the issue has again come to the forefront <br />because of the acquisition option for a site in Minnetrista at <br />the end of King's Point Road. DNR had evaluated a number of <br />sites around 'he lake focusing principally on the south and west <br />and it was tteir determination that this was the best site and <br />had gone to the Governor's Executive Council meeting on October <br />2nd intending to get authority to go ahead and procure. The <br />authority h.: Per was not granted because the Executive Council <br />felt that it ,s appropriate to involve the Metro Council in the <br />siting of such regional facilities. As you will note in they <br />attachment the Council has laid out the process by which they <br />wi 11 take a look at the issue. <br />In order to promote the active involvement of the lake <br />communities in this siting process, Bob Raseop, the Mayor of,4 ., <br />Shorewood and also the present Chair of L.M.C.D., he1J a meeting <br />Tuesday, October 22, 1985, to discuss dir'ctions and means of <br />input of the lake communities to this process. It was indicated <br />that L.M.C.D. will develop issues and areas to look at for <br />surface water management on the lake, however they felt it was <br />appropriate that the communities each involve someone else apart <br />from the L.M.C.D. representatives to explore the issiJes of land <br />use a) s it relates to access siting. We wi 1 1 be communicating <br />with our ir.M.C.D. representative regarding this matter. <br />One of t le <br />thrusts <br />that L.M.C.D. is undertaking is a more active <br />role :n securing <br />the i�-quired *tots felt by DNR <br />in an effort to <br />forestall <br />even further pressure_ ler"adcTitiona1 <br />Accesses around <br />the lake. <br />Mayor <br />Rancop present at. our <br />November 12th <br />meeting -:o <br />dis.-uss <br />the isahKl as will JoPl len Murr <br />-r <br />and. possibly <br />Senator ';F�n Olson. <br />. ..._._..___. <br />Additionilly attached is a recent article from the Minneapolis <br />,tar and Tribune regarding Lake Minnetonka access as seen by DUR, <br />together with a lust of sites the DNR has bten cxplorinq for <br />peas i b 1 e accosq. <br />PLCOMMF'!NDA'i'I ?N - it is [•.. i)rl-n,•nAk:J th.st .
