<br /> ��axwell Bay and Stubbs Bay. One need only look at Tanager Lalce in the
<br /> summer, and recognize the problem over there . At Brosvns Bay, any of i.is
<br /> �vho drive back and forth know what those peoblems are , In sofar as boats
<br /> and use of the lake are concerned, i� after the study is made and in
<br /> and the judgement is that hoats have to be limited, �re ' re prepared to
<br /> limit out bo�,ts , along with everybody else . But our point is , let ' s not
<br /> rush into this thingg pell mell and put 10,000 boats on the lake , because
<br /> tomorrow we may be required to not have 10,000 boats on the lalce . Other
<br /> areas have had to do this . In Minneapolis they have no boats on the lake .
<br /> Now i� the judgement of the body who has made the stizdy is that there «ill
<br /> be no boats , then our boats �vill have to go, But let ' s make the study
<br /> first, not afterwards .
<br /> APPLAUSE.
<br /> �Ierm Renner: In response to your answer, as far as boats go, we 've gone
<br /> further than that , �ve 've eliminated the docks which were not necessary
<br /> in our neighborhood. �Ve 've combined docks �shere we thought, where
<br /> originally each had a dock, now we 've combnned �a�k$���x�x��x���a�i��
<br /> �as� and cut our doekaae virtually in half. Now we ' d like to see the
<br /> rest of the dockage go. I ' d like to see this Council pass an ordinanee
<br /> sometime that no dock be longer than 50 feet , I don ' t care ��vhere it is ,
<br /> becau:� e that water and property does not belong to whoever is putting the
<br /> dock in there , he ' s using it . fIe ' s entitle to reas�nablP access and
<br /> usage , but vahat you ' re proposing with your sailboats , the problem here ,
<br /> is some more profit-making public property. No m�re than the marina
<br /> operators , it ' s identically the same thing. The sailboats moorings take
<br /> up a lot more space than the marinas took up. ( ? )
<br /> Your' re taking . . .
<br /> Aiayor: Address your remarks to the Council , up here . 1�Te don ' t �vant tl.is
<br /> argur;ient back and forth between the different peo�le. 14iarc�,you 've got
<br /> sometYiing?
<br /> D�arc� Yes , I�ir. Nicole , I 'd like to put the same questi.on to you as I did
<br /> to hir. Gross , and to I�ir. Johnson, that is , have you come tonight with
<br /> any su��estions , cretbeia or standards , by which the Council could judge
<br /> the facts that have been put before t}�em on these various applications?
<br /> Nicole : No, I don ' t have any facts or figures , I think that I 'm becaming
<br /> confused as to why and why not this should or should not be allowed. Is
<br /> it with regard to pollution, or i� it with regard to parking space? I 'm
<br /> sort of coming in at the middle , and. . .
<br /> �i'hitehead : Each application has its own peculiar problems , and the
<br /> individual needs and problems of the marina operator, and the loc�tion.
<br /> Your biggest problems happen to be traffic, now someone else ' s might
<br /> happen to be boat congestion. �'hat I 'm asking about is in terms of overall
<br /> standards . There ' s obviously a difference . As an example , if the Council.
<br /> were to determine that I��iaxwell 8ay has 300 acres , if the Council �vas to
<br /> adopt as a standard that for every acre of water there should only be 14
<br /> commercial docks , that might apply to Niaxwell Bay, but you can certainly
<br /> see that it w��ld not apply in Browns Bay, . . . . . . ? . . . .Lake , so ��hat
<br /> I 'm trying to do is , I think, illustrate �rimarily to the people who �.re
<br /> here tonioht , the� very ( ? ) problems facing t��is Council . . . . .
<br /> Any su�gestions for standards that would apply to any of the marinas ,
<br /> and �a��ti�ia��x in addition, it ' s very difficult to s��t a set of standards
<br /> that might appby to one area, but not to another area. �nd. . ,
