He then cited figures showing one-half of the nations swamp areas are already gone. MECCA Howard Vogel He rea^l* excerpts frrn t that all narsnes should be retained and no report stating variances be granted. He also read chapters 31.800 and 31.830 of Municipal Ordinance NO. 125 which he considered a model ordinance for the whole lake aroa.

(Continued) MINUTES OF A REGUUR MEETING HEtD SEFTEMflER 7, 1971 P«ge 3 He was of the opinion that the channel was merely a convenience not a necessity using the limnological department of the University of Minnesota which has no lake near it at all as an example. He stated that a marina or the mouth of the proposed channel alone would be adequate for the requirements of the FWDI. ?/ECGA (Continued) Herfurth asked Mr, Vogel how long their task force had been interested in swamps to which Mr. Vogel replied three years. Then Herfurtli asked if they had done any work or made any progress towards getting any other villages around the lake to adopt ordinances sir.ilir to Ordinance NO. 12S, which was so hlprtly praised and Mr. Vogel replied they had not. Southworth asked Mr. Vogel if it would not be better for swamps to be placed in park reserves than private ot^nership. Mr. Vogel said there is no ready answer to this. Southworth said swamps are looked at in four different ways: (1) The owners way, (2) The (3) The ecologists way, and (4) The appraisers way.
