Nybeck, FXECUTIVE DIRECTOR March 13, 2012 Mr. Jerry Martinson 2970 Casco Point Road, S Orono, MN 55391 RE: Site #608, Carmans Bay Dear Mr. Martinson: Since the summer of 2006, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) staff has conducted lake wide inspections of watercraft storage on Lake Minnetonka. During one of those boating seasons, your site was identified as one that may have had more restricted watercraft docked or moored than what is allowed by LMCD Code. In follow-up to that inspection, a letter was submitted to you with the intent to provide relevant and current educational information to allow you, with the offer of staff assistance, to assess whether the watercraft storage was out of compliance, and, if so, to take the steps necessary to voluntarily bring the storage into compliance. Additionally, the letter documented that re-inspections were planned by the next boating season and beyond. Based on mv re-inspection and documentation received, boat storaQe at the subiect site continued to be out of comqliance during the 2011 boating season. To assess how many restricted watercraft your site can maintain, the following information is enclosed: • A document outlining frequently asked questions relating to boat storage. • An excerpt from LMCD Code Section 2.02, outlining watercraft density rules and Regulations; found in its entirety on the LMCD website at www.lmcd.ora, rules and regulations. • An educational flyer to assist in defining your dock use area. Re-inspection of your watercraft storage is planned yet this boating season and beyond. Any further violations could result in legal consequences as documentation would then be turned over to the LMCD prosecuting attorney. I continue to welcome your call to answer any questions you may have or to assist in reviewing your boat storage options. I can be reached at 952-745-0789.
