Public Comments appear between item 1 and item 2. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT • 6. Consideration of No Wake Limitations for Long Lake Gaffron stated that the City of Long Lake had requested Orono establish a minimum wake regulation during high water periods on Long Lake because of a Long Lake resident's complaint. The resident was concerned that boat wakes would result in damage to the shoreline during high water periods. The LMCD makes a High Water Declaration when Lake Minnetonka reaches and maintains an elevation of .6' above the Ordinary High Water for a period of 8 days, and triggers a Minimum Wake regulation. There is no comparable regulation for Long Lake. The Police Department is concerned that enforcement of such a regulation on Long Lake would be difficult, or impossible. Council determined that barring a large volume of complaints, the issue was not worth pursuing. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Acting Mayor Sansevere stated that he had noticed there were no signs up for "No Parking of Trailers" around Noerenberg Park. Gappa stated they had sent the revised resolution to Hennepin County, and he would call the County to follow -up on the issue. is 4
