on 985, an assessment of changes on the lake since release of the ;bowed that little had been accomplished to implement the ons. Input from the lake communities w;- interpreted by the MCTFLM to say that a rr•djor obL�acle to implementation lay in the communities' inability to control their jwn destinies, vying a local point of view. The MCTFLM accepted this posit,on and reque:.ted, during December 1985 and January 1986, that each com- munitN, develop a work plan which showed how the parking and access goals in the recommendations of the 1983 task force could be met in each zone of the lake. In addition to planning meetings with the communities, the MCTFLM also met tw?-p in the lake area for DNR to brief communities in zones 3 and 5 about its activities to find new access sites and for information exchange between communities, DNR and MCTFLM. With the exception of the work plan submitted by Minnetrista, the response of the municipalities prior to the time of writing was disappointing. The 83TF reported 185 reliable parking spaces divided between zones 1, 2 and 4. The goal was 700 reliable spaces for all five zones of the lake. Written input from 6 of 14 lake communities proposed some changes which increased the total number by 78 to 257 confirmed reliable parking spaces. Other parking spaces were identified, or proposed. The number of parki,ig spaces for car -trailers, by various coi!nts, may be as many as 402 plus a substantial number of spaces along county roads which are available for any kind of parking, ;ncluding car- t-aiiers. Many cannot be confirmed under the present definition or were proposed under conditions the task force. could not .:ept. Three communities made specific proposals which would implement. some part of the 83TF parking recommendations and only Minnetrista, one of the same three, suggested specific actions to implement new boat launch sites. Community input on shoreline access was very limited and little specific data was received about local or non -local costs of providing public access. F;ndings MCTFLM found that: 1. The 83TF cor,,- -ted a study of the status of public access to Lake Mi -�r•ka and i— at the findings and recommendations are still valid. iml.•_ 'ing the 83TF recommendations would improve public access and the genera duality of use on the lake. 2. The attempt to implement the 83TF recommendations by soli_- work plans from '.he lake communities has not resulted in a feasible p;a, dt this time. 3. The 83TF recommendations are appropriate goals to provide ti!e need I improvements for public access on Lake Minnetonka. Implementation of those goals seems to be blocked by conditions in two areas: - One is in the relationship and zoordination of var ous governmental a.id agenty authorities involved in implementing the recommendations. 5
