property as shown on the sketch and our wetlands
map. One of the proposed lots is noted as 1. 6 acres
dry and 1. 1 acres wet. All other lots are at
least two acres dry. A soil survey and individual
septic testing will be necessary for proper review
of the lot arrangernent.
The roadway is shown as a loop connection of 50 ft.
right-of-way width. 6�ith this nur.lber of lots,
previous approvals have required 60 ft. right of way.
The access location is subject to County approval.
The west access also serves existing houses and is
a separate RLS tract. Ownership and other easement
riahts should be reviewed. (Continued)

For many years the LMCD and the Water Patrol have LAKF MINrdETONKA
�een looking for suitable speed control devices MUNICIPALITIES FUNDS
for use on the Lake similar to those which have (Continued)
been effective on the highways.
Last week the Sheriff' s office tested radar
equipment suitable for patrolling the waters of
Lake Minnetonka.
The use of this equipment, coupled with decibel �
measuring devices now available thru the Sheriff' s
office, should help to reduce careless operating
complaints and encourage safe boating on the Lake.
Because of the continuing Water Patrol funding
crunch, the Sheriff' s budget does not provide
for the purchase of such devices in 1978 or 1979 .
It has been suggested that it would be appropriate
to contribute the balance of the League of Lake
Pdinnetonka Municipalities' funds to the LMCD
"Save the Lake Fund" for the purpose of providing
the Water Patrol with this radar equipment.
Should you concur that this would be a suitable use,
please adopt the enclosed resolution authorizing
the transfer of the funds to the LP1CD for this
purpose. "

r;ayor William B. VanNest
City of Orono
Box 66
Crystal Bay, MN 55323
Dear �^'Sayor VanNest :
. Thank you for your letter of September 5 , 1978 , regarding the
development of Noerenberg Gardens . Let me first correct what
appears to be a misunderstanding: The T�etropolitan Council _
has not awarded a developrnent grant to the Eennepin County Park
Reserve District for this project .
We have received from the Hennepin County Park Reserve District
a request that Noerenberg be added to the Council ' s Regional
Recreation Open Space System Plan, and that $350,000 be allo-
cated for its development in 1979 . With that request , the Hen-
nepin County Park Reserve District also submitted a master plan
for the site .
Neither the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, nor
the Metropolitan Council, has , as yet ,acted on any of these items .
We have held a public hearing on the 5-Year Capital Improvements
Program; this will be up for final consideration and adoption by
the Commission and the Council in the next few weeks . Present
staff thinking is that Noerenberg (and some other sites , which -
- we have been asked to add to the regional system) should not be
accepted into the system and funds allocated in the CIP until
we have had further opportunity to review our total system and
evaluate needs . � �
The master plan for the site, under the 1974 Metropolitan Parks
Act, must be prepared "after consultation with all affected
municipalities . " We would be concerned if that has not been
done. In any event, we do not approve developr.�ent grants for
regional park projects until we have reviewed and approved the
appropriate master plans :
T'hus , there are still se�eral steps ahead that are to be taken
before the Com�ission and Council will be at the point of con-
sidering a development grant. jJe welcome the opportunity to be
' aware of your concerns , and encourage the City of Orono to pursue
Page 13
Page 2 \
Mayor t�?iiliam B. Vanl`est
September 11 , 1978
these concerns with the Hennepin County Park P.eserve District .
If you have further questions , or if we can be of further help ,
please contact Bob tiethercut , who is our Director of Parks and
Open Space , at 291-6403 . �
Sincerely,
