of Chanhassen, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the Board
Of Commissioners of Carver County, hereinafter referred to as the
County;
WITNESSETH, that in the exercise of their powers pursuant to
law, and in consideration of the mutual convenants herein con-
tained, the City and County recite and agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. State Law and City Zoning Ordinance. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that under the provisions of
M.S. §398.32, no county parklands or waters may be acquired
within the limits of any city without the approval by resolution
of the governing body of any such city; and it is further
acknowledged that under the provisions of the City zoning ordi-
nance, parks and recreational areas owned and operated by govern-
mental units may be allowed within residential zoning districts
only upon the securing of a conditional use permit from the City.
1.02. County Park proposal. The County proposes the
acquisition and development of a regional park to be located on
the northeast shore of Lake Minnewashta, designating said park as
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (hereinafter referred to as the
"park"), and has made application to the City for approval of
said acquisition and development and the issuance of a con-
ditional use permit.
1.03. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. Except
as hereinafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan - 1982 Updated - as
approved by the County Board of Commissioners on April 13, 1982
forms the basis of this conditional use permit for said County
Regional Park. Said Master Plan and approving County motion are
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incor-
porated herein by reference.
1.04. General Purpose. The purpose of this agreement is
to setforth the terms and conditions governing the approval by
the City of the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within
conditional use permit which are conditions precedent to land
acquisition by the County for the park.
Section 2. Park Areas C and D.
2.01. Master Plan. Whereas the City, the County, and the
Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities have determined that
removal of areas C and D from the Master Plan of the Lake
Minnewashta Regionui Park, hereinafter referrL to as the "Master
Plan", will not adversely affect the purpose or function of the
park, and whereas the City and the Metropolitan Council of the
Twin Cities have approved a change to the adopted Land Use Plan
from "Parks/open Space" to "Residential -Low Density", the parties
hereto acknowledge that land area Parcels C and D are removed
from the boundaries of the park as defined in Exhibit
Section 3. Schematic Plan.

any significant development of the park until funds are available
through the grant program of the Metropolitan Council. Between

posed to consist essentially of establishing a land stewardship
program, development of a primitive lake public access facility,
and use of the existing buildings as either a nature center or
museum and park employee residence.

program will consist principally of gradually phasing from culti-
vated land to turf establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree

fencing, controlling noxious weeds, and to the extent feasible,
controlling Dutch elm and oak wilt disesase.

All voted in favor, except Mayor Furlong and Councilman Peterson who opposed, and the
motion carried with a vote of 3 to 2.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. And again, thank you everybody for your involvement. It was a
long process but we do appreciate your efforts. Thank the council too for working through the
amendments and such like that.
Chuck Alcon: Honorable Mayor, just one question. I understand our direction is to work with
the staff to come up with a preliminary plat that does not have a connection between Highover
and Gunflint Trail.
Councilman Lundquist: Come up with a final plat.
Mayor Furlong: Move onto the next agenda on our agenda.
Councilman Peterson: Can we take a break?
Mayor Furlong: Oh certainly. Yep, looking at the time. Without objection we'll recess subject
to the call of the Chair. Let's make it about 5 minutes.
CONSIDER AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT #75-2 FOR LAKE
MU* NEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK. PLANNING CASE 4-37.
Kate Aanenson: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item on February 1s`
and, to review that conditional use amendment and they voted 4 to 2 and the 2 no votes were
based on environmental reasons and I'll go through the rationale for that in just a moment. The
subject site is the regional park. Across the street from the subject site we were just talking
about. The conditional use was put in place back in 1975 and at this point when the review went
through for the beachlots, or excuse me, for the boat launches, there was a lot of concern from
the associations that were on the lake as far as what effect that would have as far as the number
43
O"N"RD
City Council Meeting — February 28, 2005
of people on the lake, and that really led to the whole beachlot ordinance. So over time, as
everybody's kind of got use to the level of activity on the lake and we closed the boat launches
as we permitted the non -conforming beachlots, this is the control point for most of those
residents. There's a few that do have launches, but most of them have to launch at this public
access, which gives us control on what's going on the lake. So originally there was two boat
launches. This one here, which is next to the swimming beach, and then the boat launch 1, and it
was restricted by horsepower. Boat launch 1 and how it's being used today is, most people enjoy
that one. It's easier to get to. The other one does conflict with the beach, so the County would
like to amend that and allow that to be the more permanent one as they work through their master
plan. At the public hearing the concern was, because this is the inlet to the lake, that it may be
low and at those times you couldn't launch, but if it's low at that time, it's probably not the best
time to probably be boating anyways. As we've learned the issues that we have with adjacent to
shorelines when there's the high water, and the erosion as you recall on Lotus Lake when there's
high water there, that's when we get the most complaints based on the erosion factor. And over
time the motor boats has changed as far as their, the waking and the sophistication of that has
changed so we don't believe that's as, quite as critical. Again, as we've limited the access points
for the lake and kind of monitored how many boats can be, it seems to be self policing pretty
well for the other beachlots. So we are recommending approval to allow the boat launch 1 to
allow more than the 10 horsepower launching at that, as it's being used today. Again, it's really
cleaning up how it's actually being used, but it does, because it is a conditional use, does take an
amendment so if you go to page 7 of the staff report, we are recommending approval of the
conditional use permit with the following conditions. They did also want to contact the DNR
with the dredging of Little Minne Bay, which is this, if it needed to be at some point in the
future. And that the conditional use be that they have 6.05. The lake access. The watercraft
access to Lake Minnewashta, for their park has been provided in the area designated as boat
access on the development plan in 1982. Be no wake with the signage. There's a capacity of 25
trailer spaces to be developed and located in accordance with the plan marked official map. And
Marty Walsh is here from the County if you have any questions for him but we are
recommending approval.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any questions for staff?
Councilman Labatt: Yeah Kate, just a couple questions. No opposition to all this. The signage
is slow no wake at the launch site and out into Little Minne Bay. I wonder if we can also add in
there, Nann can you show that map again of the lake there?
Kate Aanenson: This one?
Councilman Labatt: Yeah, as you go up Minne Bay towards the main outlet to the lake, all that
is within the defined shore zone limit on the lake.
Kate Aanenson: Correct, and the no wake zone, right. And that was the one environmental
concern that the Planning Commission had.
Councilman Labatt: So, granted the sign at the access is great but once they get out there, to
prevent them from kicking it down a little bit. Could we have the County install buoys?

Kate Aanenson: I was going to say, buoys is how you control that.
Marty Walsh: That's out there now.
Kate Aanenson: Is there buoys out there now?
Marty Walsh: Yes.
Councilman Labatt: How far do the buoys go out? I've used this access a couple times and
haven't seen them.
Marty Walsh: Mr. Buoy.
Councilman Labatt: Mr. Buoy, okay.
Marty Walsh: Sorry about that. It's been a long night for everyone, but we do have a number of
buoys that are located within Little Minne Bay and I'm going to say about the last buoy is
located about in this location here where my finger is.
Councilman Labatt: Those are the slow, no wake buoys?
Marty Walsh: Yes they are.
Mayor Furlong: You've got to wait til the ice is off before you can see them.
Marty Walsh: They are removed on a seasonal basis, that is correct.
Kate Aanenson: For clarification on that, that we also say that the signage also included buoys.
Mayor Furlong: That's how you define a no wake on a navigable water.
Todd Gerhardt: I know there's one here. And coming into the bay.
Mayor Furlong: Yeah, but to Councilman Labatt's point, this you said specifically signage at the
launch site.
Kate Aanenson: Launch site, right. Just to further clarify.
Mayor Furlong: Is that okay?
Marty Walsh: That's fine.
Mayor Furlong: Any problem with that?
Marty Walsh: No problem with that at all.

City Council Meeting — February 28, 2005
Mayor Furlong: And I know our sheriff department patrols Lake Minnewashta quite a bit so, if
anybody's going through a no wake fast, they should catch them. Okay. Any other comments or
thoughts?
Marty Walsh: I have no other comments. For the record I guess if you want my name, Marty
Walsh. I'm the Parks Director for Carver County.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you Mr. Walsh. Thank you for being here. Any other questions or
comments? On this. We'll bring it for staff. Bring it back to council for discussion. I'm
sensing by lack of discussion that, I didn't even open it up for public comment though. No, I
think this seems to be straight forward and with the no wake, deals with the issue of the motor
size adequately. No wake through that bay so. I'm guessing that's the sense of the council as
well.
Councilman Labatt: No issues.
Mayor Furlong: No issues. Very good. If there's no other discussion or issues, anybody like to
make a motion?
Councilman Lundquist: Motion to approve with the amended clarification on the buoys.
Councilman Labatt: Second.
Mayor Furlong: We'll leave it to staff to put that in. Okay. Made and seconded. Any
discussion?
Councilman Lundquist moved, Councilman Labatt seconded that the City Council
approve the amendment to Conditional Use Permit #75-2, Section 6.04, Lake Access based
on the Findings of Fact with the following condition:
Carver County Parks shall contact the Department of Natural Resources before
proceeding with drudging of Little Minne Bay channel.
2. Carver County shall install Slow, No Wake buoys in Little Minne Bay.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS:
Councilman Lundquist: Mr. Mayor, not really a presentation per se but more of a formal send
off. One of our former mayors and her husband, the Mancino's packed up their truck and moved
to California. Are leaving in the morning so I just wanted to formally thank Nancy for her time
and service and other help that she has given me and perhaps others of us as well, so will be a
resource that myself I will miss, but wish them all the luck in the world and hope they have a
wonderful time in California.

PROPOSAUSUMMARY
Carver County Parks is seeking an amendment to their conditional use permit (CUP #75-2) to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1 located in Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park. The park is located west of Highway 41 on the eastern shore of Lake Minnewashta. The
CUP prohibits the launching of boats with motor sizes greater than 10 horsepower from Access
#1.
BACKGROUND
On November 21, 1977, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit #75-2 for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park including the following conditions:
4.01. Review and Approval.
Detailed development plans within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for
review and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not contemplated that the City
shall have approval authority over detailed development plans so long as they are
consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development generally within the City.

February 1, 2005

Any development plans not consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall
require an amended conditional use permit.
6.04. Lake Access.
Access to Lake Minnewashta through the park shall be limited to non -motorized boats or
fishing boats of fifteen (15) horsepower or less.
Originally, the park had only one access located at Little Minne Bay (Boat Access #1). This
access consisted of 30 car/trailer spaces and restricted access allowing boat motors of 15
horsepower or less.
During review of the Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan in 1982, the Metropolitan Council
noted that the 15 horsepower motor restriction placed by the City of Chanhassen on the public
access in the park was discriminatory in nature. Furthermore, it was inconsistent with the
"Cooperative Program in Providing Public Access Sites on Metropolitan Area Lakes" which was
prepared by the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR),
and the State Planning Agency. The Metropolitan Council stated they would withhold grants for
the City and park until the 15 horsepower restriction was removed.
As a result, staff worked out a compromise that would satisfy DNR & Metropolitan Council
standards while still protecting the environmentally sensitive Little Minne Bay. On September
12, 1983, the City Council approved the amendment to Conditional Use Permit #75-2 for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park including the following change to 6.04:
6.04. Lake Access.
A watercraft access to Lake Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area
so designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the 1982 Park Master
Plan Update. Said access (Boat Access #1) is to be limited for launch of watercraft of ten
(10) horsepower or less and have a capacity of 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access
(Boat Access #2) without horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan titled "Lake
Minnewashta Park 2° Access" marked Official Copy.
In 1983 there was a public access on the western shore of Lake Minnewashta adjacent to Leach's
Resort (since replaced by residential development). The decision was made to close this public
access at the time the newly created Boat Access #2 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park would
open.
ANALYSIS
In 1974-1975, when the plans for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park were first being considered,
the City was concerned about the possible effects a public access could have on little Minne Bay
given the shallow and narrow nature of the channel connecting Little Minne Bay to Lake
Minnewashta. During dry, low water level conditions this channel becomes extremely shallow.
It was thought that boat motors with higher horsepower and larger hulls could negatively impact

the channel floor. Attached is an aerial photograph created by Mark Hurd Mapping Co. in 1945
showing Lake Minnewashta and Little Minne Bay during extremely dry conditions. Notice the
channel is completely void of water. Also attached is an article developed by the Minnesota
Lakes Association that describes the possible impacts of motorized watercraft on the lake
environment.
The DNR approved the establishment of slow -no wake surface zoning within 100 feet of shore,
in designated areas, in Little Minne Bay and Lake Minnewashta. In a letter written to the City,
stamped "Received September 29, 2004", Carver County Parks states:
The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction in Little
Minne Bay.
It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower restriction and keep track of boaters coming
and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
Carver County also stated that it is difficult for park users to launch their boats from Boat Access
#2. The difficulty with launching at access #2 is due to the shallowness of the area, especially
during dry conditions, and because it is unprotected from high winds coming off the lake. Staff
agrees that the slow -no wake surface zoning makes the need for a horsepower restriction
obsolete. However, staff is concerned that eventually there will be a need for drudging in order
to maintain access through the channel between Little Minne Bay and Lake Minnewashta due to
vegetative growth and shallow depth in that area. Therefore, Carver County Parks must contact
the DNR to obtain proper approvals and permits before drudging may occur. Staff also
contacted the following Minnesota DNR staff members requesting comment:
Kim Elverum Boat & Water Safety Coordinator
Julie Ekman Area Hydrologist -West Metro, Central Region 3
Wayne Barstad Regional Environmental Assessment Ecologist
Daryl Ellison Area Supervisor for Fisheries
None had any issues with the elimination of the horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park; however, Mr. Ellison stated that there are lots of water lilies and
other quality emergent and submergent vegetation in this bay that should be protected with a
"no -wake" zone restriction.
Carver County Parks' "Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan", which was updated in
October 2002 and has not been approved by the City of Chanhassen, lays out plans to make Boat
Access #1 the sole boat launch in the park. It is Carver County's intention to eventually close
Boat Access #2 and expand Boat Access #1 infrastructure to accommodate 35 trailer parking
spaces and 20 regular vehicle parking spaces.

On January 13, 2005, Carver County held a public information meeting regarding the proposed
amendment. Notice of this meeting was mailed to all Lake Minnewashta property owners and
was also posted in the Chanhassen Villager. Five lake residents attended the meeting, none of
which opposed the lifting of the horsepower restriction.
Staff supports the amendment of Conditional Use Permit 75-2 to eliminate the horsepower
restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. In regards to the proposed
future intensification of Boat Access #1, the City must critically analyze the impact of such
intensified use on Little Mime Bay before considering approval of such plans.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall issue
such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location:
1. Will not be detrimental to or damage the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general
welfare of the neighborhood of the city.
Fmdina: The amendment will not be detrimental to the general welfare of the city. The
existing restrictions should protect the character of the area.
2. Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.

Finding: The amendment will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 20
of the City Code.
3. Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance
with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential
character of that area.
Finding: The amendment will not change the character of the area while boats with
motors greater than 10 horsepower will be permitted launch access on Little Minne Bay,
they are still restricted to no wake.
4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses.
Finding: The amendment will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned
neighboring uses.
5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and
fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or
will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies
responsible for the establishment of the proposed use.
Finding: Adequate public facilities already exist.
6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Finding: Additional public facilities and services will not be required.
7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and condition of operation that
will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash.
Finding: While the type of traffic will change with access granted to boat motors greater
than 10 horsepower, which may increase the level of noise created by boat traffic, Slow -No
Wake zoning should limit noise increases.
8. Will have vehicular approaches to the property that do not create traffic congestion or interfere
with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.
Finding: Adequate vehicular approaches already exist.
9. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or historic
features of major significance.

Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed in the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Mmnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15m, 2004.

the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within conditional use
permit which are conditions precedent to land acquisition by the County
for the park.
Section 2. Park Areas C and D
2.01. Master Plan. In reliance on action taken by the Metropolitan
Council of the�Twin Cities and its Physical Development Committee,
whereby land area Parcels C and D were incorporated in and made a
-1-
part of the Master Plan of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, here-
inafter referred to as the "Master Plan," the parties hereto
acknowledge the necessity of the acquisition and development by the
County of land area Parcels C and D east of State Trunk Highway #41_
for utilization as a natural demonstration and study area.
2.02. Acquisition Funding. The parties hereto acknowledge that
Parcels C -and D are integral components of the Master Plan and the
acquisition of said parcels is essential to the full development of
the regional park. In recognition thereof, the parties mutually
agree to employ their best efforts, jointly or severally or in concert

so long as they are consistent in scope and capacities with the Master
Plan, except for appropriate development standards which may be
applied to development generally within the City. Any development
plans not consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan
shall require an amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Trail Connection and Lake Lucy Road Extension. Upon the
acquisition of land parcels C and D, appropriate provisions will be
made to accommodate the connection of said parcels with the trail
system proposed by the City, and if necessary, to permit the extension
of Lake Lucy Road westerly to State Trunk Highway #41 over the extreme
southern limits of Parcel C.
4.03. Development Schedule. The County does not propose any signi
ficant development of the park until funds are available through the
grant program of the Metropolitan Council.. Between 1978 and 1982, the

of establishing a land stewardship program, development of a primitive
lake public access facility, and use of the existing buildings as
either a nature center or museum and park employee residence.
-2-
4.04. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship program will
consist principally of gradually phasing from cultivated land to turf
establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree nursery, beginning
prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel B, providing necessary
access control in terms of gate and fencing, controlling noxious
weeds, and to the extent feasible, controlling Dutch elm and oak
wilt disease.
Section 5. Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Simmittee. The park is intended to fill the -regional
recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and Victoria areas in
Carver County, which is generally described as Service Area 1 in the
County's Park and Open Space System Plan. In order to provide a means
of continuing review during the development and operating phases,
Carver County shall establish an Advisory Committee for Service Area 1.

Chanhassen, one from Chaska, one from Victoria, and one from the County
Park Commission. The City representatives will be appointed by the
respective City Councils on an annual basis. The Advisory Committee
shall review the County's development plan and make recommendations to
the Carver County Park Commission in regard to such plan. The Advisory
Committee shall also monitor park operations in a general way, and
shall make recommendations to the County Park Commission in'regard to
improvements in operating policies. The Advisory Committee members
shall also keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed
of their general activities. They shall also szrve as the conduit of
concerns from their respective City Councils to the County. The
Advisory Committee shall be established at such time as the County
begins preparation of detailed development plans or at the request of
the City prior to that time.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policing, Fire Protection and Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the County, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "D", shall regulate the

1975, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "E", the City
levied a total of 211 trunk water and sewer unit assessments against
the properties to be acquired for the park. It is a condition to the
grant of the within conditional use permit that all of said assessments
be paid in full by the County immediately upon its acquisition of said
properties. Included within said payment shall be accrued interest
computed pursuant to M.S. 5429.061.

The recommendations of the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee have
been incorporated in the attached amended conditional use permit.
The permit also encompasses the four minor changes considered one
year ago. Recommendations of the Planning Commission, which do
not relate to the conditional use permit itself, are recommended
to be approved - but not as a part of the conditional use permit.
Specifically, city staff should be instructed to physically close
the access adjacent to Leach's when the new access is completed and
to insure that the "no wake zone" is designated in accordance
with the new Water Surface Usage Ordinance. Regarding the boat
access policy, such should be considered by the Planning
Commission as a part of their current ordinance revisions.
Approval of the amended conditional use permit, as herein
attached, is recommended.
Report Of The
Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
June 1983
Members: Arnie Hed - Chair
Clark Horn
John Neveaux
Tom Merz
Pat Murphy
Established: by City Council — August 1982
Chi: To study public access alternatives for Lake Minnewashta
Background:
1. City/County Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park has 15 horsepower limit.
2. City's informal access adjacent to Leach's Resort is
unrestricted.
3-. Private access (Leach's) is unrestricted.
9. DNR does not recognize any of these 3 accesses as meeting
their definition. Therefore, no fish management programs.
5. Metro Council would not approve development master plan or
future development funding for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
with the 15 horsepower restriction. Also, affected City's park
grant consideration.
G. County applied for C.U.P, amendment deleting the i5 horsepower
restriction.
7. Park & Recreation Commission recommended approval.
B. Planning Commission recommended denial.
9. City Council established this committee to study alternatives.
Committee Work:
1. Met with DNR & Metro Council representatives:
a. Neither DNR nor Metro Council will use their .funds for
more shoreline when Regional Park has 2 miles.
b. DNR would be amenable to location other than the park -if
they did not have to fund land acquisition.
Attachment #2

cannot be � i -ated from the launchinv . to by roadway.
d. Total of 32 to 37 parking spaces must be provided to meet
DNR and Metro Councilrequirements. Some of these spaces
could be assigned to the restricted access on Little
Minne.
2. Reviewed potential access areas around lake:
a. Existing city access adjacent to Leach's Resort:
* Developed plan for moving Minnewashta Parkway.
* Not economically viable.
* Residents object to current use and long term use as
access.
* Apparently unwilling sellers.
b. Leach's Resort:
* Development potential of land too valuable for long
term use as access.
* Extremely expensive to acquire.
C. Island at south end of lake north of Hwy. 5:
Safety problems with car/trailer access off and onto
Hwy. 5.
* Marginal in size and may require fill on island.
* Environmentally sensitive around island as spawning
area.
* Fill required would make turn lanes expensive and
environmentally harmful. Permits for filling would be
difficult to obtain.
* Potentially expensive and difficult to acquire.
d. Existing neighborhood accesses (street extensions) located
in several subdivisions:
* Extremely disruptive to established neighborhoods.
* Expensive and difficult to provide parking.
e. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (3 potential areas):
* Little Minne is environmentally sensitive and should
not be the principal.public boat entrance to the lake.

third of the park, may detract from one picnic area,
but would not require any extra road work and a

Conclusions:
1. An access meeting DNR requirements is in the long term best
interest of the City.
2. Resolving the issue at this time maximizes the City's control
of the solution.
3. The total amount of access spaces currently available to the
lake exceeds the minimum numbers required by DNR and Metro
Council, but is uncoordinated, creates conflicts on the west
side of the lake, and does not meet the definition of public
access used by those agencies.
4. Access meeting DNR and Metro Council standards can be obtained
within the boundaries of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park with
less impact on the community than any other location around
the lake.
Recommendations:
We hereby recommend that the City Council endorse the concept of dual
public accesses located within Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. We ,-
believe this concept provides the best long term solution to providing
reasonable public access to Lake Minnewashta with the least impact to.
the community and to the environment; and with minimal impact on the
County's plan for the regional park.
We recommend that the following specific proposals be adopted as the
means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access will be limited to a maximum of 20
parking spaces. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will be
resident at the park.
2. 'At such time as the new public access is open, the City should
physically close its access adjacent to Leach's Resort. The
City should make a policy statement that the closing of a
quasi -public access or private access will not constitute a
reason or justification to increase public access parking or
capacity. This statement could be included within the City's
Comprehensive Plan as is proposed for No. 6.

Boat Access
Study Committee
Waibel presented the staff report indicating that approximately
one year ago, the Metropolitan Council and D.N.R. noted opposi-
tion to the horsepower restriction on the Minnewashta Regional
Park access for reasons that it is discriminatory. The City
Council, in recognition that resolution of this matter was
needed, created the Lake Minnewashta Boat Access Study Committee
to research and recommend on how public access to Lake
Minnewashta can be best accommodated. He stated that, as far as
Minnewashta Regional Park is concerned, the recommendations of
the committee are found in the following amendment to the con-
ditional use permit.
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity for 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked Official Copy.
Arnie Hed: I worked with this committee during the past few
months as Chairman. We worked with the D.N.R. and.the Metro
Council and they came out and looked at the various options and
facilities. I think we examined every possible alternative on
Minnewashta. It was our objective from the very beginning to
control the density on the lake and also to provide public access
use of the lake but not abuse. In the past, the access has been
next to Leach's Resort, which is actually a vacated street and
was not authorized by the D.N.R. so the D.N.R. did not take care
of the lake in the past 12-15 years. The use, as you are probably
aware of, on 15 and Minnewashta Parkway, there are sometimes 40
or more cars and trailers. So this poses a high safety problem
in Minnewashta Parkway. We looked at some creative ways of
solving the problem, by moving Minnewashta Parkway further west.
We got the cooperation from the City and the County and they
examined that. We had a meeting and perhaps 40 or 50 residents
from around the lake attended. We found that it was initally not
feasible. The most attractive to, we felt, the city, the resi-
dents of the lake, the County, D.N.R., Metro Council, was to
utilize some of the existing facilities in the regional park.
'Planning commission Minutes

Our hope there was to keep non -motorized craft in Little Minnie
Bay and the motorized craft down the shoreline. The location for
the access is nearly a mile from any residential area. At the
time the access would go in, the public access that exists next
to Leach's will be automatically closed and that would eliminate
any safety problems on Minnewashta Parkway. We anticipate that
Leach's Resort, because of economic conditions, will probably not
run more than 1-3 years at the most. Currently, Leach's is
putting in about 30 boats a day. So if we are lowering the den-
sity on that lake for an excess of the D.N.R. safety standards,
30 boats coming from Leach's and 25 over at the new park. But
when Leach's close, there will be no increase in spaces at the
regional park. we feel that in the long run we will be reducing
the traffic on the lake than what currently exists. Minnewashta
Park will be controlled with an attendant, so there will be much
more policing then what we have had on 15.
Albee :roved, seconded Py Noziska to close the public hearing, all
voted in favor and the motion carried.
Merz moved, seconded by Albee, to recommend that City Council
adopt amendment 6.04 to the Conditional use Permit with the
following addition: "The Lake Minnewashta Park be the only
access on the lake." and the following specific proposals be
adopted as the means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A.. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will
be resident.at the park'.
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City
shov}d will physically close its access adjacent to Leach's
Resort. The City should will make a policy statement that
the closing of a quasi -public access or private access will
not constitute a reason or justification to increasae public
access parking or capacity. This statement eould shall be
included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as is proposed
for No. 6.
3. The existing public access on Little Minnie will be limited
to a maximum 10 horsepower motor size and a maximum of 15
parking spaces will be provided to serve that access. The
County should be permitted to rent a limited number of canoes
for use on Little Minnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and the City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these changes.

5. Little Miane should be surface zoned as a "Slow - No wake"
zone.
6. The City should establish a firm policy position regarding
all public accesses, such as "the city hereby establishes a
boat .access policy and standard of one (1) parking space for
every 20 acres of water surface - such being both a minimum
and maximum standard on all City lakes." Further, this
policy and standard should be included within the City's
Comprehensive Plan as well as within a land use ordinance
(water surface or zoning), such requiring a 4/5ths vote to be
modified thus providing reasonable assurance of continuity.

Waibel summarized that the request was to change the land use
designation for the southerly most 23.92 acres of Tract B, RLS 88
from campus business to commercial.
+vaibel stated that staff finds approval of the request may be
granted at this time with the anticipation that further land use
Plan amendments will be forth coming shortly for the lands
adjoining the subject property as a result of the Zoning and
Subdivision ordinance revisions. He also stated that the
existence of large undeveloped areas between this property and
areas of planned or existing development presents a situation
where a wide variety of well planned land uses can be compatably
accommodated.

Twin Cities have approved a change to the adopted Land Use Plan
from "Parks/Open Space" to "Residential -Low Density", the parties
hereto acknowledge that land area Parcels C and D are removed
from the boundaries of the park as defined in Exhibit "A".
Section 3. Schematic Plan.
3.01. Design Capacities. The design capacities as set -
forth on page 26, table 6 of the Master Plan, and the Lake
Minnewashta Park Use Calculations of the Subcommittee for Master
Planning of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, dated May 28,
1975, shall constitute the maximum development allowable in said
proposed park.
Section 4. Development Plans.
4.01. Review and Approval. Detailed development plans
within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for review
and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not con-
templated that the City shall have approval authority over the
detailed development plans so long as they are consistent in
scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development
generally within the City. Any development plans not consistent
in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall require an
amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Development Schedule. The County does not propose
any significant development of the park until funds are available
through the grant program.of the Metropolitan Council. Between
1978 and 1982, the development activities at the park are pro-
posed to consist essentially of establishing a land stewardship
program, development of a primitive lake public access facility,
and use of the existing buildings as either a nature center or
museum and park employee residence.
4.03. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship
program will consist principally of gradually phasing from culti-
vated land to turf establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree
nursery, beginning prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel
B, providing necessary access control in terms of gate and
fencing, controlling noxious weeds, and to the extent feasible,
controlling Dutch elm and oak wilt disesase.
Section 5. Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Committee. The park is intended to fill
the regional recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and
Victoria area in Carver County (as described in Section 4, Local
and Regional Recreation Needs Analyses of the Master Plan). In
order to provide a means of continuing review during the develop-
ment and operating phases, Carver County shall establish an
Advisory Committee consisting of two representatives from
Chanhassen, one from Chaska, one from Victoria, and one from the
-2-

County Park Commission. The City representation will be
appointed by the respective City Councils on an annual basis.
The Advisory Committee shall review the County's development plan
and make recommendations to the Carver County Park Commission in
regard to such plan. The Advisory Committee shall also monitor
park operations in a general way, and shall make recommendations
to the County Park Commission in regard to improvements in
operating policies. The Advisory Committee members shall also
keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed of
their general activities. They shall also serve as the conduit
of concerns from their respective City Councils to the County.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policing, Fire Protection and
Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the
County shall regulate the use of the park. The City and the
Advisory Committee shall recommend any appropriate amendments to
the County Park Ordinance or regulatory County Board Resolutions
as the same may be applicable to the park. In addition, all
County proposed park ordinance amendments or regulatory resolu-
tions shall be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for its recom-
mendations and comments prior to enactment.
6.02. Policing. Policing of the park shall be the
responsibility of the County through its Sheriff's Department at
no cost to the City. Any supplementary police services furnished
by any future City police department shall be performed only
under the terms and conditions of a mutual aid agreement the City
and the County.
6.03. Fire Protection and Emergency Services. Fire pro-
tection and emergency rescue services necessitated by land -
oriented incidents shall be provided by the Fire Department of
the City. Emergency rescue services necessitated by water -
oriented incidents shall be provided by County lifeguards or the
County Sheriff's Water Patrol.
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity of 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked Official Copy.
Section 7. Roads, Water and Sanitary Sewer Services.
7.01. Roads. All roads and trails within the park shall
be constructed and maintained, including snow plowing, by the
County.
-3-
7.02. Water and Sanitary Sewer Services. The County
shall provide water and sanitary sewer systems through on-site
facilities approved by the Minnesota State Board of Health and
such other state regulatory agencies having regulatory power
thereof. When available, said water and sanitary sewer services
shall be connected to the City facilities at the expense of the
County. All connection charges, Metropolitan Waste Control
Comission sewer availability charges (SAC charges), and sewer and
water usage charges shall be paid by the County to the City at
the reasonable and customary then prevailing City rates for com-
parable uses. Except for trunk water and sewer assessments
payable as provided in §8.01 hereof, sewer and water charges will
not be based on a price structure which assumes a 211 dwelling
unit development, but rather will be based on a comparison of
volumes generated by similar residential, commercial or institu-
tional uses.
7.03. Water and Sanitary Sewer Easements. The County
shall provide, consistent with applicable Metropolitan Council
policies and the grant contract for acquisition of the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park between the County and Metropolitan
County, at no cost to the City, such linear water and sewer ease-
ments as the City may deem necessary to provide water and sani-
tary sewer services to the park and contiguous areas. Said
easement alignments shall not be so located as to materially
affect the character of the park.
Section 8. Assessments, Taxes and Costs.
8.01. Outstanding Assessments. By resolution adopted
October 20, 1975, the City levied a total of 211 trunk water and
sewer unit assessments against the properties to be acquired for
the park. It is a condition to the grant of the within con-
ditional use permit that all of said assessments to be paid in
full by the County immediately upon its acquisition of said prop-
erties. Included within said payment shall be accrued interest
computed pursuant to M.S. 5429.061.
8.02. Tax Equivalents. In the event the Metropolitan
Council of the Twin Cities fails or declines to pay to the City
tax equivalents under M.S. 5473.341, it is agreed that said tax
equivalents shall be paid by the County to the City upon demand.
8.03. City Costs. The County agrees to reimburse the
City promptly upon invoicing therefor, all resonable and custo-
mary costs incurred by the City since the enception of the park
concept through the conditional use permit. Eligible costs shall
consist of publication and notification expenses, attorney fees,
engineering fees, costs in connection with the November 2, 1977
public hearing, and any other reasonable outside direct costs to
the City.
Section 9. General Provisions.
9.01. Indemnification. The County shall indemnify and
hold the City harmless from liability on account of injury or
-4-
damages to person or property arising out of the operation of the
park facilities. In the event legal action is brought against
the City, either solely or jointly with the County, on account of
any such injury or damage, the County, on notice to it by the
City, shall defend the City in any such action at the expense of
the County. In the event of judgement against the City in any
such action, the County shall pay such judgement and all costs in
connection therewith, and hold the City harmless therefrom. The
County does not agree to indemnify, hold harmless, or defend any
action or pay any judgement arising from acts of officials,
employees or agents of the city while in the park.
9.02. Non -Assignment. Neither the within conditional use
permit nor the park contemplated hereunder shall be assigned or
conveyed by the County without the prior written consent of the
City.
9.03. Standards Applicable. The City Council and its
Planning Commission have determined that in the grant of the
within conditional use permit, the standards of the Chanhassen
Zoning Ordinance have been met.
9.04. Execution. Each party warrants and affirms that
the within agreement was duly authorized by its respective
governing body and executed by its duly authorized officers pur-
suant to resolution duly adopted, and each party shall file with
the other party a certified copy of the resolution approving the
execution of the within agreement.

YOUR VOICE TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE MINNESOTA s LAKES AND FJWRS MARCH/APPoL, 2001 VOLUME 5, Nn 2
THE IMPACTS OF MOTORIZED WATERCRAFT ON THE LAKEENVIRONMENT
Leisurely boating around the lake on a
wart summer afternoon, cruising after
supper to watch the sunset over the lake,
fishing in the quiet of the early morning, or
watching the grandchlldreris delight In
being pulled around the lake on a water
tube or skits are just a few of the pleasures
that motorboating brings to hundreds of
thousands of people in Minnesota each year
Yet, as the number of motorized boats
on Minnesota's lakes continues to increase,
questions arise about the potential impacts
these boats have on the lake environment.
These impacts can be on water clarity,
shoreline erosion, plant communities, fish,
wildlife, water quality deterioration, and
human enjoyment (air quality, peace and
quiet, safety and crowding). And, the
Increasing development of lakes and rivers
leads to increased boat activity especially in
areas that have not been traditionally used
for recreation.
How might more and more motorized
boats affect our lakes?The rest of this arti-
Increased numbers of motorized boats in Minnesota
cle attempts to answer the question through
a summary of findings from the recently
completed study, "The Effects of Motorized
Watercraft on Aquatic Ecosystems" by
Timothy Asplund, Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources and the University of
Wisconsin Water Chemistry Program. From
this point forward, "boats" will be used to
mean motorized boats Including powerboats,
fishing boats, pontoon boats and personal
watercraft.
continued on page 6
According to boat statistics provided by Kim Elverum, boating coordinator, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, in the last 20
years there has been a 28 percent Increase in registered motorboats, and boats are larger in size. There is also a significant increase In the
number of personal watercraft (PWC).
Between 1980 and 2000:
• the number of motorboats less than 16 feet decreased by almost 20 percent, from 296,969 to 241,986 boats;
• the number of motorboats 16 feet to less than 26 feet increased by almost 125 percent, from 145,000 to 323,000 registered boats,
• the number of motorboats 26 feet and over increased by 63 percent, from 4,367 to 7,138;
• PWC increased by five fold (537%) from 6,298 registered in 1990 to 33,883 registered in 2000;
• The total number of registered motorboats increased 28 per -cent, while boats of all types Increased 40 percent to a total of 812,247 regis-
tered boats of all types in Minnesota in 2000.
Sharing some of his experiences from 27 years with the DNR. Elverum
said the increase in motorboats from 16 feet to less than 26 feet comes
mostly in the 16 -to -19 foot range. The largest growth in this category
Is probably aluminum outboard fishing boats, as more anglers trailer
their own craft from lake to lake. The number of 17 -to -19 foot fiber-
glass runabouts has also increased—both outboard and inboard -
outboard drives. The rate of increase in personal watercraft registrations
dropped off after it peaked in 1995, white there has been an increase in
kayak registration, both river and sea types, over the last 10 years.
"Minnesota's increases are not unlike the national trend," said Dvenun.
"Although, surprisingly, from 1980 to 1999, Minnesods 36 percent
overall increase in boat registrations was 13 percent below the overall
national Increase in boat registrations of 49 percent."

How can motorized boats affect lakes? (continued from page 1)
Boats interact with the aquatic
ecosysten"efined as the lake
community of plants and animals and
the physical and chemical environment
in which they exist—by a variety of
mechanisms. These can include emis-
slons and exhaust, propeller contact,
turbulence from the propulsion system,
waves produced by movement, noise,
and movement Itself. In turn, these
impacting mechanisms may have
multiple effects on the aquatic ecosys-
tem. Sediment resuspension, water
pollution, disbrbamce of fish and
wildlife, destruction of aquatic plants,
and shoreline erosion are the major
anis of Impact
Water clarity
Propellers may disturb the lake
bottom directly, or Indirectly through
the wash or turbulence they produce,
especially in shallow water. This can
decrease water clarity by Increasing the
amount of sediment particles in the
water or may cause nutrients that are
stored In the sediments, such as phos-
phorus, to become available for algal
growth. Waves created by watercraft
may contribute to shoreline erosion,
which can cloud the water and decrease
water clarity.
Water clarity is important because It
affects the ability of the fish to find
food, the depth at which aquatic plants
can grow, dissolved oxygen content,
and water temperature. It is also Impor-
tant aesthetically to the recreational
enjoyment of the lake and can even
affect property values.
Water qualities
Boat motors can add metals (lead,
cadmium, mercury), nutrients (phos-
phorus, nitrates) and hydrocarbons
(methane, gasoline, of -based products)
to the water column. These added
chemicals can affect the pH and
dissolved oxygen of the lake, which in
tum can Influence the type and abun-
dance of fish.
A certain amount of the fuel that
enters into a motor is discharged
unburned and ends up in the water.
Two stroke engines, which make up
the vast majority of boat motors, are
particularly inefficient On average, 25
to 30 percent of the boats fuel may
pass into the water column. Otter
concerns include lowered oxygen levels
due to carbon monoxide Inputs, and
spurs or leaks associated with the
transfer of gasoline near the lake.
Plain Communities
Boats impact plant communities
(mactophytes) either directly, through
contact with the propeller and boat
hull, or indhectly trough turbidity
and wave damage. Propellers chop off
plant shoots and uproot whole plants
in shallow water, and Increased turbid-
ity from boat activity may limit the
light available for plants and limit
where plants can grow. Increased waves
may limit the growth of emergent
species, such as cattail, bulrushes and
sedges. Finally, boats may transport
exotic species, such as Eurasian water-
milfod from one lake to another.
Aquatic plants perform many
important ecosystem functions, includ-
ing habitat for fish, wildlife, and
minute invertebrate animals that are
important to the food chain. Plants
also stabilize the lake-botmm sedi-
ments, protect shorelines by providing
a buffer between the shoreline and
open water, cycle nutrients In the water
to maintain water clarity, and are food
for many organisms.
Shoreline erosion
Boat wakes create waves that can lead
to shoreline erosion, especially in areas
where shoreline vegetation has been
removed or the bank is compacted.
Wave height and other wave charac-
teristics vary with speed, type of water-
craft, engine size, and distance from
shore. Propeller turbulence from boats
Operating in near -shore areas may erode
shorelines by destabilizing the bottom.
Shoreline erosion may affect water
clarity in near -shore areas, shading
submerged aquatic plants as well as
providing nutrients for algal growth. It
can interfere with fish use of shallow
water habitat, as well as wildlife use of
the land -water edge. Excessive shoreline
erosion can negatively affect property
values and can be expensive to prevent.
Fish
Direct contact of
boats or propellers
may be a source of
mortality for certah
fish species, such as
carp, and pollution
from exhaust or
spurs may be toxic
some fish. Boating
can also disturb fis.
nesting, spawning,
or feeding areas.
Increased water turbidity caused by
boats may interfere with sight -based
feeding, and waves or propeller damage
can affect population levels through
habitat alternation.
Fish ate an important part of the
food web. The presence or absence of
individual specles, as well as overall fish
numbers, can be an indicator of ecosys-
tem health. Plus, fisheries are an impor-
tant resource for food and recreation.
Any human activity that affects water
quality and habitat has the potential to
affect fish populations.

whflife
Boats may have direct Impacts on
wildlife through contact with propellers
or the disturbance of nests along the
shoreline by excessive wave action.
Dlsbubance by the fast movement of
boats, or even the presence of humans
near feeding grounds or breeding areas,
may prevent certain species from repro-
ductive success.
Noise or
harassment
may cause
loots and
other wildlife
to vacate nests, leaving the eggs or
young vulnerable to predators. Indirect
effects may include the destruction of
habitat or food sources in the shallow
areas, or impaired water quality.
Summary
While the effects of boats on aquatic
systems are complex and depend on a
number of factors, a few general obser-
vations can be made.
Fast, the physical effects of
propeller, waves, and turbulence appear
to be more of an irate than engine fuel
discharge. Water clarity, aquatic plant
disturbance, and shoreline erosion are
all serious Issues that can be accelerated
by boat traffic.
Second most of the Impacts of
boats are felt directly In shallow waters
(less than 10 feet deep) and along the
shoreline of lakes and rivers not
exposed to high winds (less than 1000
feet of open water).
Thud, these effects can have reper-
cussions for other features of the
aquatic ecosystem, including the fish
and wildlife community arid nutrient
status. These observations all indicate
that the most important area of a lake
to protect is the shallow water, near -
shore habitat known as the littoral
zone. Boats that operate In deep water
with large surface areas are not likely h
be impacting the aquatic ecosystem.
There are still a number of
unknowns regarding motorboat
0
Impacts on aquatic systems. Most of
the studies in the Wlscosln report
focus on the short -tens or acute
impacts of boat activity. It is still not
clear what role boats can play 1n the
long -tens changes of a water body, I.e.
changes In the plant community, over-
all water quality, or fish and wildlife
use. Many other factors influence these
same features and may have changed
along with the increased boat activity.
What can we do?
1. Establish No -Wake Zones.
Given that most impacts of boats are
exhibited in shallow -water, near -shote
areas, protecting these areas with no -
wake zones would be the most effective
way of reducing Impacts. No -wake
zones have a dual benefit of both slow-
ing boats down and directing traffic
elsewhere. Extending a no -wake zone
to 200 or even 300 feet has the most
potential to protect the littoral zone
and help reduce shoreline erosion.
2. Establish Restricted Areas. In
some cases, protection of aquatic
resources may require restricting all
boat activity, notjust speed. Boats can
still disturb plants, sediments, and
wildlife at no -wake speeds. To
adenuateiv orotect waterblyd feeding
and nesung areas, a "buffer zone" of at
least 300 feet has been suggested, in
which all human activity is restricted.
3. Enforcement and Education.
Many of the environmental problems
associated with boat activity could be
resolved with better enforcement of
existing ordinances or regulations and
by promoting awareness among
boaters. Slow -no -wake zones are often
Ignored, or the impacts of boats are
misunderstood. It is also important to
inform boaters about the importance of
plants. Ilttoral zones, and natural shore-
lines and how their activities may affect
the aquatic ecosystem.
4. New Boat Teclntology. All two-
stroke engine manufacturers, including
traditional outboard motors and PWCs,
must reduce ah emissions by 75 percent
by the year 2025. Most manufacturers
have already introduced cleaner -burning
two-stroke motors for both motorboats
and PWCs. Four-stroke engines, which
use fuel more efficiently, produce
cleaner exhaust, and run more quietly
than traditional two-stroke engines, are
becoming much more common.

Much of the public discussion about the park's development centered around the optimal location for the boat
launch. After consideration of a number of options, it was determined that consolidating the two existing boat
launches into one convenient location achieves a number of important objectives, including:
• Reducing the need for boaters to travel to different areas of the park to determine if a space is available.
• Reducing the extent to which vehicles with trailers will have to travel through the park to get to a boat launch
facility.
• Consolidating all parking spaces into a location that can be more readily observed from the Visitor Contact
Station.
• Reducing the maintenance cost associated with maintaining two instead of one boat launch.
Providing an opportunity to use the area of the second boat launch for an alternative use.
• Ensuring that there will be adequate water depth to launch boats during lower water cycles.
• Providing a greater level of protection from the wind during launching operations.
Although consolidation of the two launches to the proposed location introduces more boat traffic into the bay
area, the advantages of this location ultimately outweighed the other options being considered. By limiting
vehicle/trailer parking to 35 spaces, it is anticipated that increased boat traffic in the bay will be manageable.
•
•
The boat launch under the new master plan
would remain in the same location as the
existing boat launch # 1.
The existing drives and parking areas are used to the
extent possible for development of new boat launch
facilities.
Figure 5.3 on the next page provides a
character sketch of the boat launch and
Visitor Contact Station area.
As illustrated, the existing drives and
parking areas are used to the extent
possible for development of new boat
launch facilities. This design approach
also spreads out the parking lot so that it
is a less imposing facility. As previously
defined, a total of 35 vehicle/trailer
parking spaces will be provided, which
equals the capacity of the park's two
existing launches.
The small, informal picnic area/outdoor
classroom overlooking the bay would be
retained for boaters, trail users, and
interpretive programs.

The parking lot for the launch would be paved with asphalt with some form of curbing to control vehicles and
minimize maintenance. Stormwater runoff from the parking area would be managed in an ecologically -sound
manner in keeping with the ecologically sustainable philosophy of the park.
Aside from the ramp and associated parking, the amenities to support the boat launch facility are purposefully
simple and limited. This includes convenient trails to connect each parking area to the boat launch. As illustrated
in figure 5.3, boardwalks may be needed to traverse a small lowland area. A small picnic shelter with a couple of
picnic tables is also shown near the boat launch. If the boat launch is developed before the Visitor Contact Station,
this location could be used for pit toilets on an interim basis. Boarding docks along the side of the boat launch are
also provided to ease the trailering operation. These would be wood decked and similar in design to the
boardwalks. A pull -off area near the boat launch for removing weeds from boats and trailers would be provided as
well.

A temporary stopping lane is also provided along the park drive in front of the Contact Station to allow vehicles
with and without boat trailers to stop. This lane also provides an area for vehicles with trailers to temporarily stack
while waiting for a parking space to open up. In busier times, stacking could also occur within the boat launch
parking lot, assuming that the attendant can adequately monitor and control use of the launch facility. The extent
to which space is required for stacking either along the road or within the parking lot will require additional design
consideration at the time of development, with a greater level of input from parks staff and boaters.

Commissioner Papke excused himself from the commission due to a personal conflict of interest. Josh
Metzer presented the staff report on this item. Chairman Sacchet asked for clarification to the findings in
the staff report. Marty Walsh with Carver County Parks, speaking on behalf of the applicant stated the
rationale for raising the amount of horsepower allowed for boats being launched at Minnewashta
Regional Park. Commissioner McDonald asked the applicant to elaborate on why the 10 horsepower
limit was established originally and clarification on possible dredging. Commissioner Slagle asked about
signage for the no wake zone. Commissioner Larson questioned closing down Access #2 and the number
of boats using Little Mime boat access. Marty Walsh reviewed the master plan update that was done in
2000 for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Chairman Sacchet asked the applicant to elaborate on
enforcement of the current and proposed regulations. The public hearing was opened.
Ame Hed, 3860 Lone Cedar Lane who was the Chairman of the lake study commission at the time this
double access was developed, provided some historical information on the decisions that were made.
Chairman Sacchet clarified Mr. Hed's position that he was not in favor of raising the horsepower limit.
Hud Hollenback, 6330 Elm Tree, who has lived in Minnewashta Heights since 1971 provided additional
Planning Commission Summary — February 1, 2005 •
historical information on Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. His opinion is that bigger motors should not
be allowed in Little Minne. All boats should be launched at the other boat launch on the main lake. Gary
Peterson lives on Hickory Lane on top of the hill on Red Cedar Point. The property he lives on has been
in his family since 1922. He stated this is the only public access onto Lake Minnewashta, and access #1
is too shallow to launch some types of boats. He is in favor of increasing the horsepower and keeping
Little Mime as a no wake zone. James Johnson who lives on Minnewashta Bay stated he would strongly
oppose lifting the boat motor restriction to over 10 horsepower. Dean Barta, 3637 Red Cedar Point Road
stated his fundamental question is, how much more traffic can you allow on a lake that is pretty over
crowded already on any given summer day and concern over the environmental impact to Little Minne.
Kurt Papke, 1131 Homestead Lane in Chanhassen spoke as the current Chair of the Carver County Park
Commission. He elaborated on the issues of enforcement and that there's a set of cascading dependencies
that come out of this decision. He reviewed the master plan that was established for this park. Marty
Walsh reiterated that the Carver County Park Commission did study this issue extensively in making their
recommendation. Dean Barta spoke again representing a newly formed Minnewashta Homeowners Lake
Association which consists of a new generation of lake owners and the movement towards making sure
Lake Minnewashta is as clean and as good 20 years from now as it is today. He asked if the launch area
on the big lake could be dredged to make it deeper and used as the primary launch site. Hud Hollenback
spoke again that he did not feel people would obey the no wake zone. B.J. Greer, 2771 Piper Ridge Lane
having spent a lot of time on Little Minne kayaking and canoeing says that the no wake rules have been
breached quite often. He expressed concern with closing that second boat launch and funneling
everything back through that pristine area. He suggested finding a third launch or fixing the fust boat
launch. Chairman Sacchet closed the public hearing. After commission comments, the following motion
was made.
Lillehaug moved, McDonald seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the
amendment to Conditional Use Permit #75-2, Section 6.04, Lake Access based on the Findings of
Fact with the following condition:
1. Carver County Parks shall contact the Department of Natural Resources before proceeding with
drudging of Little Minne Bay channel.
All voted in favor, except Sacchet and Slagle who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 5
to 2. (Kurt Papke did not vote due to a conflict of interest.)
INTERSECTION. APPLICANT CARVER COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS, PLANNING CASE NO.
05-07.
Lori Haak presented the staff report on this item. Commissioner Slagle asked staff to explain why the
mitigation will not be happening in the city and to clarify banking of wetland credits. Commissioner
Papke asked for clarification on the grade change to the side slopes or shoulder on the north side of
Pioneer Trail. Commissioner McDonald asked staff to clarify the statement that this is being done for
safety reasons because of the traffic and volume at that intersection, clarification with the location of this
intersection in relation to the new Highway 212 and future zoning. Scott Smith, Highway Design
Engineer with Carver County stated he was more involved with the application for BWSR and with the
City itself than the actual design which is being done by MnDot and their transportation department.
Chairman Sacchet opened the public hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed. After
commission discussion, the following motion was made.

Josh Metzer presented the staff report on this item.

McDonald: At this time I have no questions.
Sacchet: Dan?
Keefe: No.
Sacchet: No questions?
Larson: No.
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Sacchet: I do have a few questions. Real quick. Now staff report on page 4 states that staff agrees with
slow wake zone surface wake surface zoning since it's considered, no that's not the one. Hang on. It
says that Minne Bay is considered environmentally sensitive. Right? So it's your opinion that by having
the no wake zone that's sufficiently accommodated?
Metzer: Well basically we're basing our opinion off of what the DNR has told us. Speaking with 4
different members, none have any issues. The only one really making any statements other than no
comment, or no issues with it was Daryl Ellison, Fisheries Supervisor. Just stated that there's some
vegetation in little Minne and he also noted that it's good bass habitat but he stated that the no wake
restrictions are sufficient for that.
Sacchet: Are sufficient. Because I looked at the findings and it says while it will not be detrimental or
damaged to safety comfort, general welfare, it will not be hazardous or disturbing to the environment. It
will not result in any destruction or damage of natural, scenic or historic features. It will be aesthetically
compatible, and I was just wondering, I mean if we have this really sensitive environmental piece there,
why would we want to have bigger motors on it?
Al -Jaffa If you have the no wake, that basically will mitigate any or at least lessen environmental impacts.
Sacchet: Lessen, okay. Alight. Any word from our environmental people over there?
Haak: I can certainly speak to that. I guess my comment would be limited to the facts that the planners
have already stated which is really the slow no wake ordinance is going to be quite effective and possibly
even more enforceable in Little Minne Bay. If that's something that let's say, I've seen other lake
associations maybe pay a little bit to Carver County for additional patrols or things like that. If the
County is aware that that is in existence and potentially you know that's just really a communication
bridge that has to be gapped, or to span in order to make sure that the enforcement on that is adequate.
Sacchet: Now help me out. It's already no wake.
Haak: Correct.
Sacchet: Right, so that is not, would not be a new thing.
Haak: Right. The argument presently.
Sacchet: We're trusting that the people with the big motors will respect it too at this point, is what it boils
down to.
Haak: From what I understand, which is really what we're trusting them to do right now is police
themselves with the 10 horsepower limit.
Sacchet: Because we're not really policing the size of the motor in the first place.
Haak: And Carver County can speak a little bit more eloquently to that I believe because they actually
manage that park entrance but it's my understanding that yes, it's difficult if not impossible to police that
10 horsepower limit already.
Sacchet: Okay, thanks Lori.
Haak: Yep.
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Sacchet: Well unless there are any other more questions, which it seems there aren't, I would like to
invite the applicant. Do we have an applicant here? To come forward. If you want to add to what staff
presented.
Marty Walsh: Sure, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the opportunity.
Sacchet: Do you want to state your name.
Marty Walsh: Yes, Marty Walsh with Carver County Parks and again, thank you for the opportunity to
be before you here tonight. The issue with regards to horsepower restrictions at Lake Minnewashta Park
is one of kind of convenience. I shouldn't say convenience but more of a customer service orientation if
you will for the park. Folks when they come to the park area and they have a boat, they are looking for a
place to park. Whether it's a 10 horsepower or more, they just want to park their boat. And they'll park
and that's what they do at any one of our park accesses until such point as we're full, and then we have
them wait outside the park until we have an available spot for them But with regards to the horsepower
restriction, one of the flaws of the overall thought about restricting the horsepower limit just to the 10
boat stalls. It says nothing about the other boats that may come through the other access or property
owners that are actually coming into Little Minne from another direction, so while it addresses what
might be going out through the 10 horsepower, which if you take a look at the number of boats on the
lake, that particular access makes probably about 5% or fewer of the boats that might be on the lake at
any one given time. To concentrate that sort of emphasis on just that access there is probably not the best
way to do it and a no wake zone is much more again enforceable and that applies to everyone that's in
that area, whether they come from inside the park or outside the park boundaries. So from our
perspective it just gets, it's a bit redundant in terms of the enforcement that's needed for there, and frankly
we can't enforce it. It's very difficult for us to do that. Again while we can count the numbers of boats
that go into the site, we have a very difficult time in ascertaining what horsepower somebody has at any
one given moment and once you get past the gatehouse, we don't know which boat access they went to.
So trying to come up with a system to police that is tough, and it's probably very poor in terms of cost
effectiveness and time would be better spent regulating water surface rules rather than trying to enforce a
rule that applies essentially 10 boats that park at any one time and not looking at the bigger picture if you
will. The other 200 or 300 watercraft that might be in the area. So I guess I'd leave it at that and if
there's more questions...
Sacchet: Let's see if we have some questions for you. Any questions for the applicant? Jerry, go ahead
McDonald: I have a question. Well let me ask you, what was the original intent of the 10 horsepower?
Was that to keep the wakes down and it was felt that the 10 horsepower would do that? Was that the
purpose of it?
Marty Walsh: Well I think there's some other folks here in the audience here that can probably address
that because I know that they are part of that original committee. What I have on record is what the city
has provided and my understanding of it was to provide what they felt was I think kind of more
environmental sensitive approach to boats going out on the lake there but again, you're looking at the 10,
small as it might be there, and anybody from anywhere else again whether it's the other public boat
access or private property can access Little Minne with a large boat. There's nothing that prevents a
larger boat from accessing Little Minne from another direction.
McDonald: Well I guess the thing I'm trying to get at is, that with the no wake rule, does that in effect
nullify a horsepower as long as you stay with no wake then what difference does it make?
0 •
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Marty Walsh: That's essentially what our belief is, is that that is a much more restrictive control because
you could have somebody that has a 10 horsepower motor and be you know a little bit ruthless in how
they're operating their watercraft, so the restriction of the no wake zone I think takes care of that issue.
You could have a very small boat, essentially buzzing the shoreline within whatever, a few feet of the
shore and causing much more environmental damage as to somebody that's essentially putt putting out
until they get to the main body of water.
McDonald: And then kind of a follow-up on that. One of the things that I read in here is that, it may
require dredging of the, what the inlet. What's the purpose of that? Is that to accommodate the higher
horsepower boats or is that just, it will have to be done anyway because of cycles? As I read in here that
there are times when that charnel kind of dries up anyway.
Marty Walsh: Yeah, dredging is an issue. I don't know that we would plan for 50 or 100 year lack of
water events, or drought events. That's something that I don't know that we would plan for that. The last
time it was this low I think was around 35 and you may not want watercraft on that body of water when
conditions are like that so I don't know that we'd want to plan for the 50 or 100 year event. Certainly it'd
be a lot of infrastructure for something that would only get used you know periodically or sporadically at
best.
McDonald: Okay. And if it did come down to dredging, is that something that at that point is part of a
license? You'll have to go back to the DNR?
Marty Walsh: That would have your permit activity and my understanding of that is, it begins with at
least a conversation with the DNR but ultimately ends up over the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
If it is an operation that's going to go forward, then I think the City of Chanhassen is ultimately needs to
be a part of that particular operation.
McDonald: Okay. That's all the questions I have.
Sacchet: Okay. Any other questions? Go ahead.
Slagle: I was going to wait but I will ask it now. If I can ask, on the boat launches, the two I believe that
are public, is there signage that states the no wake zone?
Marty Walsh: Within the Little Minne area, yes there is signage there but it's avoid area that says no
wake zone. That carries it all the way out to the main body of water.
Slagle: Okay. Okay. That's it.
Larson: I have one.
Sacchet: Debra, go ahead.
Larson: Brief question. Currently there's two launches, and I was reading that eventually the other one
they would like to close that and so then the Little Minne Bay would be the only one. Is that going to
cause more boats, obviously it will cause more boats to use the other one. Would they typically use the
Little Minne Bay one anyhow because of wind and other things that can adversely affect?
Marty Walsh: You bring up a very good point, and the master plan is really kind of a different topic but
we can go down this road here. Here back in 2000 it started with a master plan update for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park, and just a little bit how that works is Carver County is an implementing
4

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
agency of the regional park system Minnewashta if you will is like a state park within the metropolitan
area. We receive funding from the Metropolitan Council for ongoing operations and maintenance and
acquisition and development funds, and the County's role in that is to plan the park area. Here in 2000
we went through that plan and updated the master plan. There was a number of changes that were
brought about for a public process. A number of public meetings. A number of either letters or agency
meetings with the DNR, City of Chanhassen, Metropolitan Council and so forth. Ultimately that plan to
the Metropolitan Council was approved. As part of that plan there is a boat access that would combine
the two facilities maintaining the existing 35 stalls that have been approved as a part of the original CUP.
And a reason why that was looked at is because it is kind of a duplication of facilities and in our master
plan, one of the ways in which we can control or have better monitoring of that new boat launch facility is
to provide a visitor center. Visitor contact station which would overlook that particular facility and
provides us with greater control, whereas right now the problem is once you get past the gate house, we
can't, we don't have that control. There were a number of factors and a great deal of debate about the
merits of combining the boat accesses if you will. One was a duplication of facilities. Why do we have
two? One was why are we bringing all this traffic further into the park? If you don't need to bring all
that traffic into the park, why do that? Another aspect was with regards to the depth of water and the
access at #1. The one that's currently 10 horsepower is deeper. Boats will more frequently use that,
particularly during times of low water conditions. The other access, and I have an aerial photo here if
you'd like. You can pull that up and you'll see the very nature of that and how shallow that is. The other
problem with access #2 is that although we'd like to have a different design there, the access actually
angles out almost parallel to the shoreline, so any sort of expansion or dredging in that kind of way is a
more extensive project. It doesn't really go out at an 90° angle to the shoreline if you will. There is cat
tails and so forth on the one side and then again it's very shallow on that edge of the shoreline. So in
terms of where do we provide boat access into the future, those were a number of things that were
discussed. How do we again minimize some of our infrastructure if you will in terms of boat accesses,
and then ultimately that site is converted to a different use which we have a demand for which is new
camping.
Larson: Okay, thank you.
Sacchet: Any questions? A few questions. Right now is this actually posted to 10 horsepower?
Marty Walsh: Yes it is. There's a sign at the entrance to the boating facility.
Sacchet: That goes to show how close I look at it. Now you say it can't really be enforced. You haven't
really done anything to enforce it much. I mean it's not draining your resources is it.
Marty Walsh: With regards to enforcement, the sheriffs department comes to the park on a periodic
basis to go through there and that's our enforcement control. We don't have park rangers. And when a
boat is off the trailer it's pretty difficult for the enforcement officer to determine what the horsepower is,
so you literally have to catch them either going in, or coming out to see what the horsepower is for the
boat. Now you can make some assumptions on a trailer that has 2 wheels or tandem wheels, that it's
bigger than 10 horse. But in terms of all practicality, in terms of what we get for law enforcement, their
time is better spent, and this is from a, what I think is public perspective, looking at what's going on in
terms of surface water use where you have folks that are not obeying what they should be in terms of
surface water. Speed. Recklessness. Those sorts of things and other activities that are within the park
rather than monitoring essentially the 10 horsepower limit while there's a no wake zone in place.
Sacchet: So what do you envision can be done to monitor and enforce the no wake? I mean that's out on
the water. If the sheriff drives in the parking lot, he never even sees it.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Marty Walsh: Right. What continues to be, and we do have is lake patrol. And I would encourage, and
we still work very closely with the sheriff s department to continue to monitor the lake use. We've had I
would say reasonable service from them regarding lake activity so if there's been infringements, I know
that they've been called and dispatched to the park in a hurry and they come flying through our gate and
they're out in the water in a matter of minutes.
Sacchet: Because you see what I'm struggling with is on one hand, I understand it's not really
enforceable. It's more environmental than substantial, but on the other hand it is a gesture that helps
protect that sensitive place. So, and obviously if I'm understanding correctly the rights of a boater, he can
go anywhere on the surface so if they go in on the other side with the biggest boat, they can still go
through Minne Bay. But to force them, that they have to go through there eventually, but that's not the
topic tonight with the boat launch, but the restriction is like a discouraging element, which seems to be in
line with the sensitivity of the Minne Bay. So I'm putting it in that context more than what's not
enforceable. Why we've never really enforced it much but it still, it's a deterrent that is in line with the
sensitivity of the natural environment there. Can you respond to that that type of view a little bit?
Marty Walsh: You know again I would say that what the DNR has commented in terms of the no wake
zone provides that protection.
Sacchet: Okay. Yeah, okay. That's a good enough answer. Anything else you want to add?
Marty Walsh: Again if there's a need for more comments or questions.
Sacchet: We'll be certainly, welcome you up if you have more questions. Thank you. Now this is a
public hearing. I'd like to invite anybody who would like to address this item to come forward. If you
state your name and address for the record and let us know what you have to say to this item in front of
US.
Arne Hed: Hi Rich. My name is Arne Hed. I live at 3860 Lone Cedar Lane on Lake Minnewashta. And
I've been a resident there 45 years and I was one of the, I was the Chairman of the lake study commission
at the tune that this double access was developed. Access was developed and it was one of the high
points of my service to the community. We were able to be a win/win/win with, I talked to Mike Markel.
I said you won't believe where I'm going tonight. Mike Markel was the DNR man and we were able to
satisfy the residents of the lake that we didn't have to have, take the money to buy a new access. If you
recall Leach's Resort was closed. It was a vacated alley. We found out that Hennepin County gave the
money to Carver County to establish a park, a regional park. So we were using Hennepin County funds
to build the roads and the lake access. And there's two accesses. One was for the people that are more,
do I dare say sensitive. Idealistic. Have a love for the nature and environment. We were going to protect
the spawning grounds for the bass and pan fish in Little Minnewashta. That was a goal and objective.
We would have canoes, sailboats, kayaks and so forth that could be unloaded there. The speed boats
would go to another place apart from Little Minnewashta, which has worked beautifully and at the time I
was commissioner, head of the commission I got calls from Lotus, Lake Ann, Lake Susan, Lake Riley.
People take their lakes seriously around here. In fact you take a look at Lake Minnewashta and ifyou're
familiar with Dakota Indian language, that means clean water and we damn better believe that we're
going to keep that lake clean. I mean that is important to us. We paid a big price to live there. People
are paying a bigger price today, but my wife says it's time we get out. The red squirrels are taking over.
And they have 200 horsepower motors. We had our grandchildren over and my wife immediately called
the Carver County shore patrol to get out and they did ticket our neighbors going 60, 70, 80 miles an hour
around Red Cedar Point. They were ticketed and they will be ticketed again but we should consider
having 10 miles per hour in 100 feet from the shoreline. At least 100 feet. The lake is very, the
topography is so up and down. It's 130 feet deep just north of Red Cedar Point. 65 feet deep in

Minnewashta Bay. Now as a matter of history, Lake Minnewashta was 3 lakes in the 1930's and for
some of the produce farmers around Chanhassen, it was a life saver because Red Cedar Point went all the
way across to Camp Tanadoona. There was the big lake, little Minnewashta and Washta Bay. Those
were 3 different lakes and you could launch in any one of those 3 lakes. Later on there were 3 resorts on
the lake, as you probably would know from your history. And again I repeat that it's clean water in
Dakota language. It's clean water is what Minnewashta means. Minnetonka means big water. And of
course you know what Chanhassen means. Sugar maple. And so we're an environmental city and I'm
not, I didn't major in environmental science but my daughter Sonja did and got the largest scholarship
ever given out of the Chaska High School for Environmental Science. Went to Lawrence University. In
fact I would have liked to have her here tonight. She would fight for this community, as most people do.
I was doing a project for Excelsior Chamber of Commerce. I said, where the regional park is now. I said
that belongs to Excelsior as a trading area. I said if that's built correctly with a good developer, you'd
probably have 2,000 to 3,000 people living in that area. To a person they all said, with every generation
they said this is Excelsior. You're not going to force all these people into our community. They said we
can live without that extra business. This was their Chamber of Commerce. And we've got to have the
same loyalty to our community in Chanhassen as they have to the Excelsior and Lake Minnetonka area.
And if you want to rattle some questions at me, I'll shoot back at you. And I also spent 30 years as a
consultant...
Sacchet: What, let's try to focus exactly in terms of the issue in front of us. Is this horsepower restriction
with the access to Minne Bay. That's really the issue right now.
Arne Hed: My position on that is that, like they've got snowmobiles and for some people they're a real
headache. You've got these Skidoo's. Seadoo's. If you control the horsepower, you control the size of
the motor. I mean the, I'm sorry. Control the speed if you take the major part of Washta Bay and the big
lake and you say the speed limit is 45 miles per hour, then who needs a 200 horsepower motor? Merz
over at Minnewashta Heights came to me when I was Chairman. He said that he was a lake property
owner. He paid bigger taxes than anybody else. He should be allowed to have any motor of any size as
he wants. He says you can control the size of the motors for the people coming in to the park, but not me.
He says I've got a cigar boat and I want to go. I said, 200 horsepower you've got on that speed boat, I
said you can go from Highway 7 to Highway 5 in less than 2 minutes. I mean it's insane. I should add
this. Merz's brother, they're the Merz Construction Company. They're in our neighborhood and he took
it upon himself to go out and put in a waterski course, right out in front of our picture windows and I said
what is that? What are all those buoys doing out there? He said that's a waterski course. So I was right
down here and I said, waterskiing is fine. Our whole family waterskis and I'd encourage anyone that
wants to waterski, go ahead and waterski. It's not that popular a sport anymore, but at that time it was
and I said, if we have a 4"of July celebration in Chanhassen, you get a 72 hour permit. I'm not against
that. You get a 72 hour permit and put in your course and take it out again. That's the last we saw of the
course.
Sacchet: So do I take it that you are in favor of restricting speed limits?
Ame Hed: Oh yes. And that is within the law. I talked to Mike Markel who is the DNR man and we had
a long conversation this afternoon.
Sacchet: And in terms of Minne Bay and that particular issue in front of us, does that translate that you
would see a purpose in restriction of the motor size or not?
Arne Hed: Well if you restrict the motor size, then if you're going to reduce the speed essentially.
Sacchet: So you see it hand in hand.
•
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Arne Hed: Yeah, they go hand in hand.
Sacchet: Excellent. Well appreciate all your feedback and context. It's wonderful to get the insight into
the history and I want to thank you for that.
McDonald: Mr. Chairman?
Sacchet: Do you have a question for him? Yes, go ahead Jerry.
McDonald: Can I ask you a question? Okay, I understand a correlation between horsepower and speed,
but what's the correlation between horsepower and no wake zone? Doesn't the same effect happen?
Arne Hed: No, you've got a speed limit in the no wake zone. Currently it's for snowmobiles as I
understand is 10 miles per hour. In lakes in the Carver County it's 45 miles per hour on the big part of
the lake. If there is no wake zone, but if you're within a certain distance to the property owner's
shoreline, you cannot go more than 10 miles an hour. And I'll say that our neighbors, and their kids,
they're teenagers. And I might say that you can relay it to the Carver County Police that they can raid
that house any time they want to and they'll probably find drugs. They've egged our house. I mean
they're in detention half the time and they're in alternative schools and when they came in and our grand
children were diving off our raft, they came in at 60 miles an hour into their dock. I mean they, reckless.
They did get tickets because we can get very irate as a family if we see the abuse. Rich will go along with
that.
McDonald: It sounds as though the current systems that are in place work.
Arne Hed: Yes, if you compare it to snowmobiling. The high power boats in the summer, beautiful day
and a few drinks or drugs and you've got people that are out of control. And if the water patrol, and Rich
Slagle's buddy from college ran the resort on Lake Minnewashta for several years. Our son Allen and in
fact they're going to have a bass contest out on Rice's Resort on Lake Minnewashta because it's known
as a good bass lake, as is Waconia. And if they're interested in having a bass fishing contest and you lose
that ... I guess you can't do it at this particular time but at that time they could. There's some giant bass in
that lake.
McDonald: Okay, well where I'm still confused is, are you in favor of if we go with the no wake zone.
Allow larger horsepower motors to go on Little Minne Bay, does that accomplish what is in place or are
you not in favor of increasing the horsepower?
Arne Hed: Personally I'm not in favor of increasing the horsepower. I can get along nicely with 65-85
horsepower. There's no big problem there. But the 200 horsepower, 300 horsepower, cigar boats. And if
you take a look, and I was talking to Mike Markel with the DNR this afternoon. He said that the DNR's
got reconstruction jobs on Minnetonka boat launches because they're coming in with their semi's and
they're backing in with their yachts on top of these semi's. And the tonnage, it just breaks down the
access. And we don't want that. There's a certain element that loves the lifestyle of Lake Minnetonka.
There's another lifestyle that's Minnewashta and it's a rather placid, peaceful.
McDonald: Okay, well then what your concern is, is someone bringing in these larger boats which is a
weight problem coming in and tearing up the.
Arne Hed: Oh no, it's the environment. Again Minnewashta means clean water. If you break up the
bottom of the lake with the big motors and you're racing and they're doing all of the tricks that they're
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
doing on the lake with big motors, you're going to lose that water. In fact the Minneapolis paper had the
Minnewashta as one of the most fishable lakes in the Twin Cities area, and it's the cleanest lake,
according to the DNR between the Iowa border and Grand Rapids. I always thought it was Christmas
Lake, but this particular article in the Sports section said Minnewashta was the cleanest lake, and if we
don't keep it clean, if we don't, if we let go of the barriers that we put in place, it's going to get worst.
You find when the ice goes out in the spring there will be the beer bottles and whiskey bottles and broken
glass and so forth coming in. We've done it for 44 years, cleaning the beach and so forth and picking this
stuff up. People that have abused, not only fish houses and snowmobiles. They're as guilty too. There's
bad people in all these areas.
Sacchet: Well appreciate all your input. Thank you very much for speaking up. Yes, next. Want to give
us your name and address for the record please.
Yeah.
Sacchet: And you can move the microphone in front of you. There you go.
Hud Hollenback: I live in Minnewashta Heights. I'm going to ramble for just a couple minutes and then
if you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them Our family moved up here in 1971 from Texas
and we were fortunate enough to land, end up in Minnewashta Heights. And of course we all fell in love
with the lake. It was a little different in those days but I bought an 8 foot boat with a 6 horsepower motor,
and I lived on the lake. I think I probably know the lake better than anybody here. For years I lived on
the lake. Days. Nights. Whenever. I knew most bass by name. I knew where they lived. Caught the
same ones over and over and over again. One day I think, I forget just when it was. Like '74-75.
Clifford French came over and spoke to the Chan council I guess, and anyway I was there. And he had
heard that the Ches Mar Farm was going to go up for sale. And he was making a pitch to Chan that this
has to be a park. He said, Hennepin County would like to make a park. We are ready to buy the land and
make a park. Well that scared the daylights out of me. I went back and we talked in the neighborhood.
Nobody wanted a park. Nobody. In fact I applied, and ended up sitting on the commission in order to
fight the park. The more I studied and the more meetings we had, which were tremendous number. All
the time. We were meeting in meetings, when I wasn't fishing I was meeting. I began to feel heck,
maybe this would be a park. It'd be a lot better than looking across the lake and seeing townhouses and
the shoreline completely changed. So it wasn't too long before I was promoting a park. But we, when we
started talking as a commission, we got to negotiate with these folks. We didn't want this. This would be
okay. We didn't want that. This would be alright. Little Minne was a big part of the discussion because
it is pristine. It is unique. Not another body of water, anything like it around here. So we were very hard
on what we were going to allow in Little Minne. My mouth is drying up. That's why there were no
motors, nothing but canoes, kayaks, whatever allowed. And everybody was happy. Then in, I think it
was what, '84. Whenever. It was decided to put motors in there and to put the boats at the other dock.
Landing. So it's evolving. All I want to say is there's no way that we should allow bigger motors in
Little Minne. What we should do is eliminate all boats landing in Little Minne. Move them over to
where the rest of them are. Then there won't be any problem in policing. There won't be any problem in
tearing up the water. It would solve all the problems of you know having two places. It would just solve
the problems. It'd probably return to the same state it used to be. So that's where I'm coming from Any
questions?
Sacchet: Thank you very much? Do we have questions? I think you expressed yourself very clearly.
Larson: Actually I do. When I was reading the report, towards the end of the report they mentioned that
boats are designed quite differently now than they were when the original plan allowed to have motor
boats put in there and that they're made much more environmentally sensitive or, they don't seem to tear

up the lakes as badly as maybe some of the older style boats, based on how the bottoms are made. How
the engines are designed. And so would you still have an issue with this if in fact, you know even though
the boat motor sizes are going to be bigger, or allowed larger, the impact of these newer boats isn't going
to be like it was with some of the older style boats.
Hud Hollenback: Well that's quite possible. I just see if we close number 2 and move everything
eventually, I know it's a ... discussion now but move everything over to Little Minne, to land in, to launch
and land 35 boats at a time, and that given space. It doesn't matter how the boats are made or the motor's
made. It's, there's not going to be a place to even stack them. I mean it's, I can imagine at the end of the
day 10 or 15 boats waiting to be pulled out in Little Minne. We're going to be side by side. It's just, it's
not practical. And it would just destroy the nicest part of the lake.
Sacchet: Thank you for making such a clear statement.
Hud Hollenback: Alright.
Sacchet: Yes, anybody else want to come forward? This is your tum. State your name and address for
the record and let us know what you have to say.
Gary Petersbn: Gary Peterson up on Hickory Road on 36, on top of the hill on Red Cedar Point. And I
guess our place has been in the family since 1922 so I guess I ... but basically this is really the only place
left on the lake where people can put in things like pontoon boats, things like that because it's the only
access to the lake that has reasonable backing capacity. You mentioned the thing that the other landing is
totally not perpendicular to the shoreline. I attempted to put in a couple boats there. Last year could not
even get them in there, and I'm not talking huge boats like discussed. Actually the boats today by the
way that you're talking about that these people are putting in today are in the ballpark of 345 to 455
horsepower. They're not 200 horsepower motors anymore. That does not affect the fact that this is really
the only place that exists on the lake where people that live on the lake can put in their boats. We're not
talking about putting in 35 boats at a time. We don't show up there on a Sunday afternoon to put this boat
in or a Sunday morning. We sneak in there on a Tuesday afternoon when nobody else is there, just
because we don't like to stand in line or sit in line with all those types of things that go along, but the
horsepower does not really any affect to what we've got there. It's just really the only place we can go to
drop a boat down, back it in. My pontoon boat, I'm not trying to put a wake out behind my pontoon boat
but it still has enough power to push that thing through that operations out there. Now the environmental
portion of this thing, this is basically a mud hole back there. Rest of the lake is pretty much sand bottom,
and this is very soft shore. We're talking about just basically, you know when I was a kid, we didn't, we
did not fish crappies back there because you couldn't eat them. They were too muddy. They tasted too
bad. So that's the kind of environment we're dealing with. When boats do come through there, they
move the ... around but at the time when the boat, park was actually open, it was all full of seaweed and
things like that and a lot of lily pads. They're no longer there today just because of any boat that's going
through there has wiped those out. I think that taking a no wake zone is really the way to operate that
thing so people can use the thing for the lake and you know, we're talking, we're not talking even 10
miles an hour. I'd guess probably with the no wake zone, coming out of there well below 5 miles an
hour. Something like that. If you're going to go 10 miles an hour, you're going to get at wake. 10
horsepower motor can put a wake up depending on the boat that you're talking about. The fact that
people get out, away from the shore. Go down the middle of the operation. It's a very calm area. And
there's still lots of lily pads when you go out and head out into the back end of the thing but you know, I
really don't say that I think that horsepower's really the issue. I think the horsepower thing's got to go I
mean. Most the people on the lake have no way to get their boats out if they you know follow by that law
that sat there. It was the only place you could even get in there with a pontoon boat trailer at the end of
the year.

Keefe: Is it your opinion that people follow the no wake zone when they're back in there? Yeah. And
you as a resident.
Crary Peterson: I've been going in there since 1965. Probably something like that.
Keefe: As a resident of the lake, do you ever go back into Minne Bay when you're just out boating? And
let me follow-up with that saying, do you have a larger motor than 10 horsepower and do you drive back
in it, to Minne Bay? Occasionally.
Gary Peterson: Yeah, I don't think, I don't have a motor less, that's that small.
Keefe: Yeah, so I mean if somebody answers yeah. You've driven back in there and so you're one of the
people who drive back in there as well and.
Gary Peterson: And I mean even a jet ski today is in the ballpark of 130-40 horsepower. You know, our
pontoon boat is 35 horsepower. And we go back there and fish for sunfish typically. I don't think there's
a lot of bass fishing back there today. I mean you can catch 10 bass off our dock. I don't know why
you'd go out across the lake to go look for 10 bass over there.
Sacchet: Alright. Thank you very much. Anybody else wants to address this item? Please come
forward. State your name and address and let us know where you stand with this.
James Johnson: My name is James Johnson. I live on Minnewashta Bay actually. I can see the dock
from my deck when I'm outside. I would strongly oppose lifting the boat motor restriction to over 10
horsepower because I do see people not abide by the wake zone. No wake zone. And I do see people
launch boats from there that are much larger than 10 horsepower. So my fear of restricting or lifting the
ban would mean that there are more people coming into that area with larger motors and not abiding by
the 10 miles per hour, or the no wake zone. So I would certainly oppose lifting the ban.
Sacchet: Okay. Thank you for expressing yourself. Anybody else wants to address this item This is
your tum. Please state your name and address.
Dean Barta: My name is Dean Barta. I live at 3837 Red Cedar Point Road. I also live on Lake
Minnewashta and I don't know, I've got a couple questions and then a comment. I know 2-3, maybe it
was 3-4 years ago there was some discussion about dropping that restriction, and I'm sorry I'm late so
maybe I missed that discussion but at that time the discussion was to get rid of the 10 horsepower
restriction but in kind of a trade for that they were going to put a 10 horsepower restriction or close the
other ramp that's on the big lake. That was part of the discussion. And when I saw this come up, that
they were looking at or there was discussion again of the 10 horsepower restriction, there was no
discussion of the other ramp. Having a power boat or a speed boat, a ski boat on Lake Minnewashta, I
understand there's a lot of people that don't like to use the ramp that's on the main part of the lake
because it's very shallow and I've talked to a lot of people that live there, I know a lot of guys that live
there and stuff and people that bring their boats in for the day who have ruined props and, it's a very
shallow landing. Right, and I understand that. I think my concern is when I, or the question I have is, has
anybody looked at the impact if we take, if we get rid of the restriction of the back landing, the one that's
in question. How many more larger boats is that going to bring into a lake that's pretty crowded already
on a given summer day? Because now you'd be opening up how many more parking spaces to larger
boats. And what I've noticed on the lake, it's not you know the fishing boats nowadays aren't the 10
horsepower. You know it's the 150 horse, 21 foot Lund's and it's the big wake boats and things like that
and so, you know fundamentally, how much more traffic can you allow on a lake that is pretty over
11

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
crowded already on any given summer day. The other thing is, is that I go back there a lot and I do take
my son back there. We catch a lot of sunfish and bass back in there. It's a beautiful area back in there
and full of lily pads in the spring and in the summer, and I question also the environmental impact or
what's going to happen to, you know there's a lot of nesting birds back there. There's a lot of things that
you start putting big boats up and down that channel and I know most people would abide by the wakes
but just the fact of having a bigger boat throws of a lot bigger wake. Right? That's just a fundamental
something, that happens. So I would just ask that we suggest that we take a look at what's another
alternative. If that other ramp isn't, a lot of people with bigger boats don't like to use that, why don't we
make that a horsepower restricted ramp then. At least start to limit the number of potential parking spots
for larger boats on the lake. So comments, suggestions. That's my opinion.
Sacchet: Thank you very much sir. Who else would like to address this item?
Kurt Papke: Good evening. A little odd to be on this side of the microphone. My name is Kurt Papke
and I live at 1131 Homestead Lane in Chanhassen. And I'm the sitting Chair of the Carver County Park
Commission, as well as being a Planning Commission member, but you have to ignore that for the
moment. I just wanted to comment on a couple things that were touched on tonight but I don't think were
fully explored. One of diem's the enforcement of which boats get to go in and use the two different boat
launches. Imagine yourself, you're a 16 year old Chaska High School student who's working for
minimum wage in the gate house and you're counting boats coming in and boats going out, and you're
not too sure how many of which are in which landing and now somebody comes in with a car full of kids
and they want to take their kids skiing and now they have to drive down this long gravel road to get to the
boat launch, and you let them in. Okay. So you can see the dilemma. It's not easy for a 16 year old high
school student to do that control situation. They have no visibility at all of the boat launch. They're
dealing with people with a car full of kids who want to go skiing and they're going to go where they will.
Another aspect of that in terms of the enforcement possibilities, you may or may not be aware that a little
over a month ago the Carver County Board voted as a part of their latest budget to cut funding for
lifeguards at Lake Minnewashta Beach. Okay. So we don't even have the funds right now to put
lifeguards on the beach, so to provide additional services for enforcement here would be a bit of a stretch.
Okay. The last point, and this one you have to be careful how you cope with it because you can't always,
you can't make decisions on the basis of consequences. But one of the issues we have here, there's a set
of cascading dependencies that come out of this decision. Okay. If you deny this request we now, we
cannot consolidate the two boat ramps and if we cannot consolidate the two boat ramps, we can now
cannot re -use the space that's currently allocated to boat launch #2 for the, how many Girl Scouts do we
have come and camp every summer? Over 500 kids that we would like to provide as part of the master
plan more space for those 500 kids. So just be aware that you know there's a set of consequences of your
decisions tonight. Now you can't, you're making an environmental decision. You can't make your
decision on the basis solely of well, you know those are the consequences and too bad. But you just
should be aware and conscience of that when you make that decision that there's things, other things will
not happen as a result and I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that. And that's all I had. Any
questions for me?
Keefe: Can you clarify a little bit on the dependency again, or just re -state that. If we are, if we remove
the restriction, then that would allow consolidation. If we leave the restriction in place.
Kurt Papke: You cannot consolidate. You must leave boat launch #2 open then to accommodate the
existing large horsepower boats that are being launched there.
Keefe: Okay.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Kurt Papke: Okay. And so then you don't have the plan for re -use. Now this was all, there was an entire
master plan that was worked out with public hearings, just like this 2 years ago to approve that master
plan. And we have an interesting dilemma here where the City of Chanhassen and the Planning
Commission is kind of holding that whole master plan hostage as a result of this one decision which, you
know that has to happen. You have to do the right thing for the environment and for the City of
Chanhassen but you just...
Keefe: Let me ask you this. If the restriction is removed, does the County need to come back to the City
to consolidate the ramps?
Marty Walsh: Mr. Chair, members. As a matter of fact they would in terms of a building permit or
construction permit for the park area, we would have to come back for approval on that.
Keefe: But that's just to construct the expansion of the ramp.
Marty Walsh: That's correct. During that process there'd be a number of reviews and contacts here with
the City of Chanhassen along with the DNR with regards to the suitability and so forth of that site for that,
but we've gone through that at least preliminarily at this point with the DNR and again staff people and
other agency folks and again at this point everybody feels with regards to agency staff and the Carver
County Park Commission that this is a workable plan. I would like to just make one comment, and I
know we have some members here that have been in the audience, or have been on the lake for a number
of years. In terms of kind of the greatest threat in terms of change to the lake, I don't believe that is the
park because we are limited to the 35 stalls that we have at this point with a conditional use permit. What
has changed over time is horsepower size, and that will continue to probably change on the lake with a
great deal of frequency with regards to new homeowners either moving in or people upgrading their
present boat for a larger boat. Also there will be still new lots that will be added to this lake. Since the
1974, I hesitate to guess but I know that it's probably closer to 100 or more homes that have been located
on the lake so the biggest change to the lake with regards to the horsepower, I will be just in the nature of
things. People upgrading. Replacing their boats, and a few new lots being constructed on the lake.
Keefe: So conditional use permit limits you to 35 parking stalls between the two, right? And if you were
to consolidate you would still be limited to 35 parking stalls at the single entrance?
Marty Walsh: That's correct.
Audience: And there is 20 acres.
Sacchet: Jerry.
McDonald: I've got a question. Are these the only, is this the only public access on this lake?
Marty Walsh: Yes, it is the only public access.
McDonald: Okay.
Slagle: Just so I'm clear, is there a speed limit on the lake?
Marty Walsh: I would defer that to the City of Chanhassen. To my knowledge, Carver County does not
regulate the surface use of water bodies but I'll defer that question.
Sacchet: Does staff know the answer?

Planning Commission Meeting February 1, 2005 •
Lillehaug: It's 50 miles an hour.
Haak: Yes there is. It's actually I believe it's 40 sunrise to sunset. 40 or 45 and I think it's, and I'm
speculating but I know they exist on all city lakes. Probably 15 sunset to sunrise is my guess, and again I
may run over to the code and double check that but.
Sacchet: Go ahead Rich.
Slagle: Weight restrictions. We talked about that. The 100, is it 100 yards? 100 feet?
Marty Walsh: I'll have to look at the exact what it is but I want to say it's 100 to 200 feet and I think the
City of Chanhassen has that ordinance.
Haak: It'd be in the same ordinance.
Slagle: And Lori as you're looking my question is, does that apply around the entire lake?
Haak: Yes.
Slagle: Fairly, is there a sign on the outer entrance, if you were on the lake and wanted to go into Little
Minne, is there a sign that says no horsepower's above 10 allowed in this bay?
Marty Walsh: No, there is no signage of that nature.
Sacchet: That's not possible on the state statute. I think that the water is accessible anywhere by
anybody, isn't that the state?
Marty Walsh: It's public property underneath the water level itself. I don't know that I can address your
question directly but to the fact that it is public property underneath the surface water and it's managed by
the Department of Natural Resources.
Slagle: But let's keep in mind though that there are bodies of water in our city that we limit motors. I
know in our lake cabin up north there's an area of the lake that no go. It's trolling motors or canoes or
what not so what I'm saying is that I don't think that's 100% correct in the sense that you could I believe
make this bay a non -motorized or under 10 limit. I don't know that for sure but I think so. So with all
that said, here's my question to you. Is there another location other than 1 and 2 for the launch because
you're, we've heard that launch 2 is shallow. Gentleman mentioned it's hard to get pontoons but yet we
are picking what I estimate to be probably the most sensitive area of the lake to have the boat launch.
Would there be a third alternative when you go to consolidate that would make more sense than Little
Minne?
Marty Walsh: Again we did look at that sort of an option with regards to when we went through the
master plan. And with the idea that you can do anything. You can put the boat access someplace, but not
without causing more damage than what there is right now. In terms of environmental impacts.
Slagle: Damage on the water or on the land?
Marty Walsh: Both. Most of the area that is encompassed by the park is surrounded by cattail, wetland
type vegetation and for us to disturb another area, which was something that we looked at and the overall
master plan placed a great deal of emphasis, in fact the over riding principle on that was the environment.
14
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
In fact to the extent that we could, we removed or will remove certain infrastructure pieces from that.
From the park as it continues to develop. So we don't see the park becoming I guess more heavily
developed than what it is.
Slagle: Okay, let me throw this out and I have to be honest with you, during the course of this I've just
been going back and forth but I've been there. I've been on the big lake and personal opinion but I want
you to respond to it is, I think that bay is probably as close to quote unquote, Northern Minnesota feel as
you get and when you go out into the big area where the #2 launch is, I mean that's sort of like big lake.
Lots of boats. And I guess I'm just surprised in the entire peninsula that goes to the north, I mean even
going down towards the public beach where you've got roads, parking lots, buildings, that that would be
the best spot to consolidate two launches. That's all I guess I'm struggling with is I'm not sure of that
but, can you respond to that?
Marty Walsh: Again I would state that we did take a look very closely at the boat launch issue and there
are with anything that we were doing in the park, pros and cons to it but when we, at the end of the day
weighed a safe boat access out of the wind, a deeper water access, the ability for people to access the lake
and launch their watercraft, at the end of the day that balancing act said boat access #1 is where it should
go.
Sacchet: Dan, go ahead.
Keefe: I have one more question. Just in regards to, and this may be a DNR question. I don't know,
maybe ... in regards to any spawning that goes on on that lake. Does that bay support spawning grounds
or do we know or?
Metzer. Daryl Ellison the Area Supervisor for Fisheries, he did also mention which it did not at the end
of the report though he said it's good as bass habitat. That's all he said. It's good bass habitat.
Keefe: He didn't say anything about particularly spawning,
Metzer. Those were his exact words.
Arne Hed: He said that, DNR told me the ... he's the head of Fisheries. We could invite him out to your
next meeting. Mike Markel, who was the DNR man at the time I worked with him, he said that it's really
up to the City and the County to establish the weight and the speed limits and things that would control
population of boat, people's behavior on the lake. That the DNR has dropped out of it. It's no longer
interested in surface waters of any lakes, except out state. Their position there changed.
Sacchet: Alright. The public hearing is still open. Did you want to add anything else at this point?
Marty Walsh: Again I guess again we at the park commission for Carver County has taken a look at this
quite extensively and really feel that this is a non -discriminating policy, the no wake zone does protect the
environment there. And in terms of long term operation for a park area and servicing the customer, we
believe this is...
Sacchet. Thank you. Anybody else want to address this issue before we close the public hearing? Yes, I
still see some hands there.
Dean Barta: Couple thoughts and comments again. First of all, I represent kind of a newly formed,
there's probably 20 or 30 of us now of a Minnewashta Homeowners Lake Association right. A lot of
people, we've gotten together every year and we worked with the DNR and tried to control some of the
15
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
milfoil out on the lake and there's something happening on Lake Minnewashta where the lake is what I'll
call turning a little bit. Right. A lot of the first generation, second generation people that grew up on the
lake are retiring or selling. A lot of younger people coming on and redoing homes. And there's a real
movement towards making sure that that lake is as clean and as good 20 years from now as it is today.
Right. And I would suggest that maybe there is some other alternatives here, right. I would agree with
you that the north side of the lake is pristine and that's just a beautiful park that you go through there and
if, one thing that I heard tonight, if there's only going to be 35 parking spots, or the most the boats
coming in is 35 either way, that's a great thing. But maybe we could tap into some of the resources from
the homeowners lake association right and is there a possibility on the, I think it's called lift 1 which is
the lift on the big lake, the shallow lift, right. Can that be dredged? Right. Can we make that just deeper
right in the lift area because it's just, it's just in that small area where people put the boats in and that just
needs to be made a little deeper, right. And then we could completely shut down the second one back in
the pristine area and make that a complete no wake zone or 10 horse, or something because it is a neat
area back in there, right. So I think there is some other opportunities maybe we could all discuss, look at
that could be a win/win here. To make the fust boat lift, you know dredge it out, make it deeper.
Something like that. Okay.
Sacchet: Thank you. I saw another hand.
Hud Hollenback: One more thing, I apologize for my voice. I'm taking medication for my back and my
mouth goes dry. I second what he said. I have another problem and maybe I'm just getting to be a hard
head. I have a problem with the no wake solving the problem. I don't think it's going to. I'm sorry. I
travel Highway 7 all the time and I put it on cruise at 50 and there's not a car that doesn't pass me. I
mean they can't read 50. They're doing 55 and 60, and this, when I've been on the lakes, people's idea of
no wake varies, so it's not going to be boats slowly crawling through Little Minne. And it won't be
policed, so no wake is not the solution.
Keefe: I've got one question. You know in a previous hearing when we were talking about another issue,
somebody had talked about the history of Lake Minnewashta and that it was, it's actually a much cleaner
lake today than it was even 20 years ago, and I'd like to get your comment in regards to that because one
of the things that I think my understanding of it is, it's actually, it's been actually pretty well managed in
terms of it's clarity.
Hud Hollenback: They've done a heck of a job. They have.
Keefe: Would you agree with that?
Hud Hollenback: I'm just trying to not to have it, what we're looking at though is a clip. I meanwhat
was over here... The park is going to be over here. It's completely different from what we negotiated.
But no, they deserve a lot of credit.
Sacchet: I saw a hand in the back, if you want to still speak up as well.
B.J. Greer: B.J. Greer. I live at 2771 Piper Ridge. I don't live directly on the lake. I live across the
street. I spend a lot of time on Little Minne, kayaking and canoeing and I for one can tell you that the no
wake rules have been breached quite often. One thing that concerns me is closing that second boat launch
and funneling everything back through that kind of pristine area. I agree with some points that were
brought up. Possibly finding a third or fixing that first boat launch. In the past I've also owned a boat
and I've been guilty of putting a over 10 horsepower boat in on that launch. One for being ignorant of the
sign which was pointed out to me by the Carver County Sheriff, but I also at that point would launch my
boat at the other landing and there were times that I had to actually park up by the picnic area up on top of
16
Planning Commission Meeting February 1, 2005 •
the hill because there were so many boats down there so I understand the 16 year old and counting people
coming in and out. That would be pretty difficult and not all of them go to either landing. So I guess I
would just like to go on the record as being against raising that 10 horsepower limit because I'm a little
concerned with funneling more traffic through that area and like I said before, being a canoeist and
kayaker, you do tend to feel the waves coming through when someone is not following the rules and
that's all.
Sacchet: Thank you very much.
Lillehaug: I have a question for you.
Sacchet: Yeah, go ahead Steve.
Lillehaug: I got a ticket by parking out by that area that you said you parked. Did you get a ticket? I did
B.J. Greer: I didn't get a ticket. I did get parking at the fust landing. And I had the ticket sitting on my
car and believe me, you can tell if someone's boat trailer is over 10 horsepower just by looking at it. It's
pretty easy and there are quite a few big boats that do in that way, and I understand your point about
getting your pontoon boat in. I don't think it's the owners on the lake that are the ones that concern me as
much as just a lot of additional larger horsepower traffic coming in there and that lake does get fairly busy
sometimes. Nothing to the aspects of Lake Minnetonka, which I've boated on too but, so I don't know.
Any other questions or? Thank you.
Sacchet: Okay, thank you very much. Alright, last chance. Anybody else wants to address this item
Seeing nobody, I'm closing the public hearing. Bring it back to commissioner for discussion and
comments. Who wants to start? Rich?
Slagle: I can start. I am, as I mentioned, went back and forth but after some due diligence and thinking
of this I would have to say that I am against raising it. But I throw out the caveat that I don't think, and I
don't want to be critical of the process that went through, that you looked at your alternative sources for a
boat launch, but when I look at, I guess it would be, I don't know if we have a page number but the map
of the park. And if I look at that, I could make a common sense decision that would cut off that bay
because I've been there many times in that bay. It is very, very nice and to think that you would have
potentially 20 boats at 7:00 trying to come in. I have a boat. They'll be turning around. They'll be
backing up. I mean that bay will not be the same bay as it is today. It seems to me that if there's issues
about wind, which I didn't ask you how important the wind was, but I'm going to take that it seems to be
somewhat important, again on a scale of 1 to 10, wind, I don't know if wind is over rules the
environmental impact of that bay. And I would go as far as asking the City to look into how we restrict in
that bay, not just outgoing but going in, because I certainly don't think it makes sense to restrict the boat
horsepower for someone launching but then someone on the lake can go in there with a 40 and claim they
didn't know anything about it. Or 100 or 200, so I'm against it and would just ask that they look for other
alternatives.
Sacchet: Jerry, you want to make a comment? No?
McDonald: No comments.
Sacchet: Dan?
Keefe: Yeah, where I come down on this and I'm somewhat tom but I think I'm leaning towards
approval of this and really for the following reasons. You know if 95% of the traffic, and I'm not sure if
17
Planning Commission Meeting February 1, 2005 •
that's a right statement or not but a good chunk of the traffic, boat traffic in that bay comes from off the
lake, then the 10 horsepower isn't really going to regulate that piece of it. The no wake would regulate
that piece of it. And the quality of the lake, the Lake Minnewashta, at least with my understand is really
been maintained at a very high level. Actually an improving level over at least a certain period of time.
I'm not exactly sure what that period of time is, and I think that the people involved in managing that lake
have done a good job and I think the, a lot of the residents have spoken to that and I'm not sure that it is
their intention in terms of moving these to, consolidating these two boat ramps to actually deteriorate the
quality of the lake. I think they've taken that into consideration in regards to the recommendation.
Additionally we're talking about 35 spaces of which a portion right now are split to one ramp or the other.
You're going to consolidate those into one incrementally in terms of the number of additional boats going
through that. There's going to be an increase. I'm not convinced that a good portion of those won't pay
attention to the no wake. I think they probably will. I actually think the number of boats going through
there is going to be fairly minimal that are going to violate that. Violate that 10 horsepower given the fact
that there's only 35 spaces for 35 boats available in the park so I think I'm leaning for this one.
Larson: I don't think I have any comments.
Sacchet: No comments Debra. Steve.
Lillehaug: Well, I think we need to keep two things separate here. Consolidating and re -arranging is not
the issue. I mean I know they're related but it's not the issue with this application. Speed limit on the
lake is not the issue with this application period. It's not. And a few points that I want to make, it doesn't
matter if you swap the restriction from access 1 to 2 because they're going to be consolidated so other
suggestions to swap it in my mind, that's not a solution because we're looking at consolidating. At this
point it's my opinion that lifting the ban won't increase and intensify the use of the bay. I use Lake
Minnewashta quite a bit and I didn't even realize, and I'm pretty cognizant of the rules of the lakes, and
for one I didn't know there was a speed limit that was something less than 50 miles an hour, so if it is, I
would really ask staff to work with the County and make that better known because I didn't know it and I
use that lake all the time. Number two, my boat doesn't do any more damage to that bay than a 10
horsepower boat does, and I have a 200 horsepower engine and I put a lot of merit that that new motor
doesn't do any more damage. Access 2, as has been indicated, is very non-functional. And then I would
also add that because of it's being non-functional, that the boats coming in and out of there actually create
quite a bit of damage in itself and it hurts the environment alone right there. Does it compare to the
damage or increase damage if we have 35 more boats or 25 more in Minne Bay? I don't have a good
judge of that but there is damage being done at access 2 because of it's non-functioning. Issues are in the
lake with speeds like you indicated, I don't think, there might be a disobedience of the no wake zone in
Minne Bay but again, I don't think the horsepower is the issue there. And the last thing is, my opinion is
the no wake zone is the answer and it's not the horsepower restriction so I do support this. Do I support
the modifications like have been suggested? I don't know. I haven't seen a plan. I've heard it proposed
but at this time considering lifting the 10 horsepower, I support that.
Sacchet: Well my comment I probably can summarize in two words. I'm a kayaker. Do I need to say
more?
Larson: So am I and I think it's fun on waves.
Sacchet: And it's my prime kayaking place. Minne Bay because I live very close to Minne Bay. I
absolutely love that place. It's a very pristine place. If it would be up to me I would push for no motors
in Minne Bay. So coming from that vantage point I have a very hard time lifting any restriction in this
area, whether it's connected to any other issues or not. I don't have a problem with the waves, as you say
it can be fun. But I do have an issue with the impact it has on the environment, even now with the 10
18
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
parking spots for boats, there are times where there are 3, 4, 5 boats stacking up and to envision that that's
going to be multiplying, I mean as a kayaker I have an issue when there are 2, 3, 4 boats stacking up. So
without considering the potential where this is going to go with the comprehensive plan, and yes I did
attend your, some of your presentations. The one at Bluff Creek I think it was, and did express my views
as a kayaker there as well. I don't know whether you might remember. I certainly do, so being a kayaker
and an environmentalist I oppose really lifting any restriction that has a further impact on the
environment. And I do question these 4 findings in the staff report where it says it will not be detrimental
or damage the safety, comfortable, general welfare of the neighborhood which is 4(a) of the findings.
4(d) of the findings, will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing of planned neighborhood uses. I
think it's very disturbing to a kayaker. Finding (i). Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
natural, scenic or historic features of any significance. I think it does impact it. I mean once you're going
to have multiple power boats stacking up, or in this case what's in front of us, boats with more motors, it
will be aesthetically compatible which is Finding 0). I don't think it's aesthetically compatible with the
pristine nature of that particular bay to have bigger motors. To have more motors. That's just my humble
opinion as a kayaker. And I'm actually surprised how much support I'm getting here tonight so I want to
thank you for that. That's my comment. It was longer than I expected. So with that I'm willing to take a
motion.
Lillehaug: I make a motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of the amendment to
Conditional Use Permit #75-2, Section 6.04, Lake Access based on the Findings of Fact with the
following condition, number 1.
Sacchet: We have that motion. Second?
McDonald: Second.
Sacchet: We have a motion. We have a second.
Lillehaug moved, McDonald seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the
amendment to Conditional Use Permit #75-2, Section 6.04, Lake Access based on the Findings of
Fact with the following condition:
1. Carver County Parks shall contact the Department of Natural Resources before proceeding with
drudging of Little Minne Bay channel.
All voted in favor, except Sacchet and Slagle who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 4
to 2. (Kurt Papke did not vote due to a conflict of interest.)
Sacchet: We have 2 nays and 4 yea's. Is that correct? Alright, motion carries. Goes to City Council on
February 28th I believe.
Metzer. It's the 28`h
Sacchet: The 28 h. That's accurate, okay. Thank you very much.

PROPOSAUSUMMARY
@Carver County Parks is seeking an amendment to their conditional use permit (CUP #75-2) to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1 located in Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park.017he park is located west of Highway 41 on the eastern shore of Lake Minnewashta. The
CUP prohibits the launching of boats with motor sizes greater than 10 horsepower from Access
#1.
BACKGROUND
On November 21, 1977, the City Council approved Conditional Use Permit #75-2 for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park including the following conditions:
4.01. Review and Approval.
Detailed development plans within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for
review and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not contemplated that the City
shall have approval authority over detailed development plans so long as they are
consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development generally within the City.

Conditional Use Permit Amendment - Planning Case No. 04-37
February 1, 2005
Page 3
Any development plans not consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall
require an amended conditional use permit.
6.04. Lake Access.
Access to Lake Minnewashta through the park shall be limited to non -motorized boats or
fishing boats of fifteen (15) horsepower or less.
Originally, the park had only one access located at Little Minne Bay (Boat Access #1). This
access consisted of 30 car/trailer spaces and restricted access allowing boat motors of 15
horsepower or less.
During review of the Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan in 1982, the Metropolitan Council
noted that the 15 horsepower motor restriction placed by the City of Chanhassen on the public
access in the park was discriminatory in nature. Furthermore, it was inconsistent with the
"Cooperative Program in Providing Public Access Sites on Metropolitan Area Ickes" which was
prepared by the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR),
and the State Planning Agency. The Metropolitan Council stated they would withhold grants for
the City and park until the 15 horsepower restriction was removed.
As a result, staff worked out a compromise that would satisfy DNR & Metropolitan Council
standards while still protecting the environmentally sensitive Little Minne Bay. On September
12, 1983, the City Council approved the amendment to Conditional Use Permit #75-2 for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park including the following change to 6.04:
6.04. Lake Access.
A watercraft access to Lake Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area
so designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the 1982 Park Master
Plan Update. Said access (Boat Access #1) is to be limited for launch of watercraft of ten
(10) horsepower or less and have a capacity of 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access
(Boat Access #2) without horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan titled "Lake
Minnewashta Park 2°d Access" marked Official Copy.
In 1983 there was a public access on the western shore of Lake Minnewashta adjacent to Leach's
Resort (since replaced by residential development). The decision was made to close this public
access at the time the newly created Boat Access #2 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park would
open.
ANALYSIS
In 1974-1975, when the plans for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park were first being considered,
the City was concerned about the possible effects a public access could have on Little Minne Bay
given the shallow and narrow nature of the channel connecting Little Minne Bay to Lake
Minnewashta. During dry, low water level conditions this channel becomes extremely shallow.
It was thought that boat motors with higher horsepower and larger hulls could negatively impact

the channel floor. Attached is an aerial photograph created by Mark Hurd Mapping Co. in 1945
showing Lake Minnewashta and Little Minne Bay during extremely dry conditions. Notice the
channel is completely void of water. Also attached is an article developed by the Minnesota
Lakes Association that describes the possible impacts of motorized watercraft on the lake
environment.
The DNR approved the establishment of slow -no wake surface zoning within 100 feet of shore,

• It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower restriction and keep track of boaters coming
and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
Carver County also stated that it is difficult for park users to launch their boats from Boat Access
#2. The difficulty with launching at access #2 is due to the shallowness of the area, especially
during dry conditions, and because it is unprotected from high winds coming off the lake. Staff
agrees that the slow -no wake surface zoning makes the need for a horsepower restriction
obsolete. However, staff is concerned that eventually there will be a need for drudging in order
to maintain access through the channel between Little Minne Bay and Lake Minnewashta due to
vegetative growth and shallow depth in that area. Therefore, Carver County Parks must contact
the DNR to obtain proper approvals and permits before drudging may occur. Staff also
contacted tits following Mignesota DNR staff members requesting comment:

On January 13, 2005, Carver County held a public information meeting regarding the proposed
amendment. Notice of this meeting was mailed to all Lake Minnewashta property owners and
was also posted in the Chanhassen Villager. Five lake residents attended the meeting, none of
which opposed the lifting of the horsepower restriction.
Staff supports the amendment of Conditional Use Permit 75-2 to eliminate the horsepower
restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. in regards to the proposed
future intensification of Boat Access #1, the City must critically analyze the impact of such
intensified use on Little Mime Bay before considering approval of such plans.
The following changes will be made to Section 6.04 of Conditional Use Permit No. 75-2:
6.04. Lake Access.
A watercraft access to Lake Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the 1982 Park Master Plan

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed in the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Minnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15s, 2004.

Lake Minnewashta Boat Access StCommittee and resubmit it to
the Council."
Given the time that it expired from, Roger Knutson recommended
holding a new hearing. On August 17, the Planning Commission
held the second public hearing on this item. No public comments
were received. The Planning Commission acted to endorse the
recommendation of the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee.

The recommendations of the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee have
been incorporated in the attached amended conditional use permit.
The permit also encompasses the four minor changes considered one
year ago. Recommendations of the Planning Commission, which do
not relate to the conditional use permit itself, are recommended
to be approved - but not as a part of the conditional use permit.
Specifically, city staff should be instructed to physically close
the access adjacent to Leach's when the new access is completed and
to insure that the "no wake zone" is designated in accordance
with the new Water Surface Usage Ordinance. Regarding the boat
access policy, such should be considered by the Planning
Commission as a part of their current ordinance revisions.
Approval of the amended conditional use permit, as herein
attached, is recommended.

Report Of The
Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
June 1983
Members: Arnie Hed - Chair
Clark Horn
John Neveaux
Tom Merz
Pat Murphy
Established: by City Council - August 1982.
Charre: To study public access alternatives for Lake Minnewashta
Background:
1. City/County Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park has 15 horsepower limit.
2. City's informal access adjacent to Leach's Resort is
unrestricted.
3-. Private access (Leach's) is unrestricted.
4. DNR does not recognize any of these 3 accesses as meeting
their definition. Therefore, no fish management programs.
5. Metro Council would not approve development master plan or
future development funding for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
with the 15 horsepower restriction. Also, affected City's park
grant consideration.
G. County applied for C.U.P, amendment deleting the.15 horsepower
restriction.
7. Park & Recreation Commission recommended approval.
B. Planning Commission recommended denial.
9. City Council established this committee to study alternatives.
Committee Work:
1. Met with DNR & Metro Council representatives:
a. Neither DNR nor Metro Council will use their funds for
more shoreline when Regional Park has 2 miles.
b. DNR would be amenable to location other than the park•if
they did not have to fund land acquisition

cannot be -.ted from the launching l -:!a by roadway..
Total of 32 to 37 parking spaces must be provided to meet
DNR -and Metro Councilrequi.rements. Some of.these spaces
could be assigned to the restricted access on Little
Minne.
2. Reviewed potential access areas around lake:
a. Existing city access adjacent to Leach's Resort:
* Developed plan for moving Minnewashta Parkway.
* Not economically viable.
* Residents object to current use and long term use as
access.
* Apparently unwilling sellers.
b. Leach's Resort:
* Development potential of land too valuable for long
term use as access.
* Extremely expensive to acquire.
C. Island at south end of lake north of Hwy. 5:
Safety problems with car/trailer.access off and onto
Hwy. 5.
* Marginal in size and may require fill on island.
* Environmentally sensitive around island as spawning_
area.
* Fill required would make turn lanes expensive and
environmentally harmful. Permits for filling would be
difficult to obtain.
* Potentially expensive and difficult to acquire.
d. Existing neighborhood accesses (street extensions) located
in several subdivisions:
* Extremely disruptive to established neighborhoods.
* Expensive and difficult to provide parking.
e. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (3 potential areas):
* Little Minne is environmentally sensitive and should
not be the principal -public boat entrance to the lake,
access wy.•out seriously disrupting /.'e pianim:u u�
of picn. 3 and swimming. Also b at the "end" of
the entrance road, it hinders the`,.pL_ational
flexibility of the park plan.
* The one other remaining area, located in the southern
third of the park, may detract from one picnic area,
but would not require any extra road work and a
launching and parking area could be reasonably
designed and permits should be easily obtainable.
inclusions:
1. An access meeting DNR requirements is in the long term best
interest of the City.
2. Resolving the issue at this time maximizes the City's control
of the solution.
3. The total amount of access spaces currently available to the
lake exceeds the minimum numbers required by DNR and Metro
Council, but is uncoordinated, creates conflicts on the west
side of the lake, and does not meet the definition of public
access used by those agencies.
4. Access meeting DNR and Metro Council standards can be obtained
within the boundaries of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park with
less impact on the community than any other location around
the lake.
3ecommendations :
Re hereby recommend that the City Council endorse the concept of dual
public accesses located within Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. We
believe this concept provides the best long term solution to providing
reasonable public access to Lake Minnewashta with the least impact to -
the community and to the environment; and with minimal impact on the
County's plan for the regional park.
We recommend that the following specific proposals be adopted as the
means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction. will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access will be limited to a maximum of 20
parking spaces. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County -park employee will be
resident at the park.
2. 'At such time as the new public access is open, the City should
physically close its access adjacent to Leach's Resort. The
City should make a policy statement that the closing of a
quasi -public access or private access will not constitute a
reason or justification to increase public access parking or
ctlpacity. This statement could be included within the City's
Comprehensive Plan as is proposed for No. 6.

20 acres of water surface - such being both a minimum and
maximum standard on all City lakes." Further, this policy and
standard should be included within the City's Comprehensive
plan as well as within a landuse ordinance (water surface or
zoning), such requiring a 4/5ths vote to -be modified thus
providing reasonable assurarce.of continuity.

Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
Waibel presented the staff report_ indicating that approximately
one year ago, the Metropolitan Council and D.N.R. noted opposi-
tion to the horsepower restriction on the Minnewashta Regional
Park access for reasons that it is discriminatory. The City
Council, in recognition that resolution of this matter was
needed, created the Lake Minnewashta Boat Access Study Committee
to research and recommend on how public access to Lake
Minnewashta can be best accommodated. He stated that, as far as
Minnewashta Regional Park is concerned, the recommendations of
the committee are found in the following amendment to the con-
ditional use permit.
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity for 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked official Copy.
Arnie Hed: I worked with this committee during the past few
months as Chairman. We worked with the D.N.R. and.the Metro
Council and they came out and looked at the various options and
facilities. I think we examined every possible alternative on
Minnewashta. It was our objective from the very beginning to
control the density on the lake and also to provide public access
use of the lake but not abuse. In the past, the access has been
next to Leach's Resort, which is actually a vacated street and
was not authorized by the D.N.R. so the D.N.R. did not take care
of the lake in the past 12-15 years. The use, as you are probably
aware of, on 15 and Minnewashta Parkway, there are sometimes 40
or more cars and trailers. So this poses a high safety problem
in Minnewashta Parkway. We looked at some creative ways of
solving the problem, by moving Minnewashta Parkway further west.
We got the cooperation from the City and the County and they
examined that. we had a meeting and perhaps 40 or 50 residents
from around the lake attended. We found that it was initally not
feasible. The most attractive to, we felt, the city, the resi-
dents of the lake, the County, D.N.R., Metro Council, was to
utilize some of the existing facilities in the regional park.

our hooe there was to keep non -motorized craft in Little Minnie
Bay and the motorized craft down the shoreline The location for
the access is nearly a mile from any residential area. At the
time the access would go in, the public access that exists next
to Leach's will be automatically closed and that would eliminate
any safety problems on Minnewashta Parkway. We anticipate that
Leach's Resort, because of economic conditions, will probably not
run more than 1-3 years at the most. Currently, Leach's is
putting in about 30 boats a day. So if we are lowering the den-
sity on that lake for an excess of the D.N.R. safety standards,
30 boats.cominq from Leach's and 25. over at the new park. But
when Leach's close, there will be no increase in spaces at the
regional park.. we feel that in the long run we willbe reducing
the traffic on the lake than what currently exists. Minnewashta
Park will be controlled with an attendant, so there will be much.
more policing then what we have had on 15.
Albee moved, seconded by Noziska to close the public hearing, all
voted in favor and thermotion carried.
Herz moved, seconded by Albee, to recommend that city Council
adopt amendment 6.04 to the Conditional Use Permit with the
�ollowing addition: "The LakeMinnewashtaPark be the only
access on the lake." and the following specific proposals be
adopted as the means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A., This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will
be resident -at the park
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City
a*e"47d will physically close its access adjacent to Leach's
Resort. The City should will make a policy statement that
the closing of a quasi -public access or private access will
not constitute a reason or justification to increasae public
access parking or capacity. This statement could shall be
included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as is proposed
for No. 6.
3. The existing public access on Little Minnie will be limited
to a maximum 10 horsepower motor size and a maximum of 15
parking spaces will be provided to serve that access. The
County should be permitted to rent a limited number of canoes
for use on Little Minnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and the City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these changes.

Waibel summarized that the request was to change the land use
designation for the southerly most 23.92 acres of Tract B, RLS 88
from campus business to commercial.
haibel stated that staff finds approval of the request may be
granted at this time with the anticipation that further land use
plan amendments will be forth coming shortly for the lands
adjoining the subject property as a result of the Zoning and
Subdivision ordinance revisions. He also stated that the
existence of large undeveloped areas between this property and
areas of planned or existing development presents a situation
where a wide variety of well planned land uses can be compatibly
accommodated.
Albee moved, seconded by Noziska to close the public hearing, all
voted in favor and the motion carried.
Albee moved, seconded by M. Thompson that the Planning Commission
recommends amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from campus

Amdndment. All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Also the Planning Commission directed staff to make arrangements
for amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation from
campus business to commercial for the area east of the property
to County Road 17.

of Commissioners of Carver County, hereinafter referred to as the
County;
WITNESSETH, that in the exercise of their powers pursuant to
law, and in consideration of the mutual convenants herein con-
tained, the City and County recite and agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. State Law and City Zoning Ordinance. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that under the provisions of
M.S. §398.32, no county parklands or waters may be acquired
within the limits of any city without the approval by resolution
of the governing body of any such city; and it is further
acknowledged that under the provisions of the City zoning ordi-
nance, parks and recreational areas owned and operated by govern-
mental
mental units may be allowed within residential zoning districts
only upon the securing of a conditional use permit from the City.
1.02. County Park Proposal. The County proposes the
acquisition and development of a regional park to be located on
the northeast shore of Lake Minnewashta, designating said park as
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (hereinafter referred to as the
"park"), and has made application to the City for approval of
said acquisition and development and the issuance of a con-
ditional use permit.
1.03. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. Except
as hereinafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan - 1982 Updated - as
approved by the County Board of Commissioners on April 13, 1982
forms the basis of this conditional use permit for said County
Regional Park. Said Master Plan and approving County motion are
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incor-
porated herein by reference.
1.04. General Purpose. The purpose of this agreement is
to setforth the terms and conditions governing the approval by
the City of the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within
conditional use permit which are conditions precedent to land
acquisition by the County for the park.
Section 2. Park Areas C and D.
2.01. Master Plan. Whereas the City, the County, and the
Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities have determined that
removal of areas C and D from the Master Plan of the Lake
Minnewashta Regiona- park, hereinafter referrer ro as. the "Master
Plan", will not adversely affect the purpose or function of the
park, and whereas the City and the Metropolitan Council of the
Twin Cities have approved a change to the adopted Land Use Plan
from "Parks/open Space" to "Residential -Low Density", the parties
hereto acknowledge that land area Parcels C and D are removed
from the boundaries of the park as defined in Exhibit "A".
Section 3. Schematic Plan.
3.01. Design Capacities. The design capacities as set -
forth on page 26, table 6 of the Master Plan, and the Lake
Minnewashta Park Use Calculations of the Subcommittee for Master
Planning of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, dated May 28,
1975, shall constitute the maximum development allowable in said
proposed park.
Section 4. Development Plans.
4.01. Review and Approval. Detailed development plans
within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for review
and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not con-
templated that the City shall have approval authority over the
detailed development plans so long as they are consistent in
scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development
generally within the City. Any development plans not consistent
in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall require an
amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Development Schedule. The County does not propose
any significant development of the park until funds are available
through the grant program.of the Metropolitan Council. Between
1978 and 1982, the development activities at the park are pro-
posed to consist essentially of establishing a land stewardship
program, development of a primitive lake public access facility,
and use of the existing buildings as either a nature center or
museum and park employee residence.
4.03. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship
program will consist principally of gradually phasing from culti-
vated land to turf establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree
nursery, beginning prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel
B, providing necessary access control in terms of gate and
fencing, controlling noxious weeds, and to the extent feasible,
controlling Dutch elm and oak wilt disesase.
Section 5.
Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Committee. The park is intended to fill
the regional recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and
Victoria area in Carver County (as described in Section 4, Local
and Regional Recreation Needs Analyses of the Master Plan). In
order to provide a means of continuing review during the develop-
ment and operating phases, Carver County shall establish an

County Park Commission. The city representation will be
appointed by the respective City Councils on an annual basis.
The Advisory Committee shall review the County's development plan
and make recommendations to the Carver County Park commission in
regard to such plan. The Advisory Committee shall also monitor
park operations in a general way, and shall make recommendations
to the County Park Commission in regard to improvements in
operating policies. The Advisory Committee members shall also
keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed of
their general activities. They shall also serve as the conduit
of concerns from their respective City Councils to the County.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policing, Fire Protection and
Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the
County shall regulate the use of the park. The City and the
Advisory Committee shall recommend any appropriate amendments to
the County Park Ordinance or regulatory County Board Resolutions
as the same may be applicable to the park. In addition, all
County proposed park ordinance amendments or regulatory resolu-
tions shall be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for its recom-
mendations and comments prior to enactment.
6.02. Policing. Policing of the park shall be the
responsibility of the County through its Sheriff's Department at

County. All connection charges, Metropolitan Waste Control
Comission sewer availability charges (SAC charges), and sewer and
water usage charges shall be paid by the County to the City at
the reasonable and customary then prevailing City rates for com-
parable uses. Except for trunk water and sewer assessments
payable as provided in §8.01 hereof, sewer and water charges will
not be based on a price structure which assumes a 211 dwelling
unit development, but rather will be based on a comparison of
volumes generated by similar residential, commercial or institu-
tional uses.
7.03. Water and Sanitary Sewer Easements. The County
shall provide, consistent with applicable Metropolitan Council
policies and the grant contract for acquisition of the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park between the County and Metropolitan

ditional use permit that all of said assessments to be paid in
full by the County immediately upon its acquisition of said prop-
erties. Included within said payment shall be accrued interest
computed pursuant to M.S. §429.061.
8.02. Tax Equivalents. In the event the Metropolitan
Council of the Twin Cities fails or declines to pay to the City
tax equivalents under M.S. 5473.341, it is agreed that said tax
equivalents shall be paid by the County to the City upon demand.
8.03. City Costs. The County agrees to reimburse the
City promptly upon invoicing therefor, all resonable and custo-
mary costs incurred by the City since the enception of the park

YOUR VOICE TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE MNNEsoTA s LAKES AND RVERS MARCH/Apra. 2001 VOWME 5. No. 2
THE IMPACTS OF MOTORIZED WATERCRAFT ON THE LAKEENVIRONMENT
Leisurely boating around the lake on a
warm summer afternoon, cruising after
supper to watch the sunset over the lake,
fishing in the quiet of the early moming, or
watching the grandchfldneds delight in
being pulled around the lake on a water
tube or skits are just a few of the pleasures
that motorboating brings to hundreds of
thousands of people in Minnesota each year.
Yet, as the number of motorized boats
on Minnesotis lakes continues to increase,
questions arise about the potential Impacts
these boats have on the lake environment
These Impacts can be on water clarity,
shoreline erosion, plant communities, fish,
wildlife, water quality deterioration, and
human enjoyment (air quality, peace and
quiet, safety and crowding). And, the
Increasing development of lakes and rivers
leads to increased boat activity, especially In
areas that have not been traditionally used
for recreation.
How aright more and more motorized
boats affect ora lakes? The rest of this aru-
Increased numbers of motorized boats in Minnesota
Cie attempts to answer the question through
a summary of fundings from the recently
completed study, "The Effects of Motorized
Watercraft on Aquatic Ecosystems by
Thnothy Asplund, Wisconsin Depattment of
Natural Resources and the University of
Wisconsin Water Chemistry Program. From
this point forward, "boats will be used to
mean motorized boats Including powerboats,
fishing boats, pontoon boats and personal
watercraR
conlintied on page 6
According to boat statistics provided by Kim Elverurn, boating coordinator, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. in the last 20
years there has been a 28 percent increase in registered motorboats, and boats am larger in size. There Is also a significant increase In the
number of personal watercraft (PWC).
Between 1980 and 2000:
• the number of motorboats less than 16 feet decreased by almost 20 percent, from 296,969 to 241,986 boats,
• the number of motorboats 16 feet to less than 26 feet increased by almost 125 percent, from 145,000 to 323,000 registered boats,
• the number of motorboats 26 feet and over increased by 63 percent, from 4,367 to 7,138;
• PWC increased by five fold (537%) from 6,298 registered in 1990 to 33,883 registered in 2000;
• The total nurnber of registered motorboats Increased 28 per -cent, while boats of all types htcneased 40 percent to a total of 812,247 regts-
tered boats of all types In Minnesota in 2000.
Sharing some of his experiences from 27 years with the DNR, Blvermn
said the increase in motorboats from 16 feet to less than 26 feet comms
mostly In the 16-m-19 foot range. The largest growth in this category
is probably aluminum outboard fishing boats, as more anglers trailer
their own craft from lake to lake. The nattier of 17 -to -19 foot fiber-
glass runabouts has also mcreasM—both outboarl and Inboard -
outboard drives. The rate of increase in personal watercraft registrations
dropped off after it peaked in 1995, while there has been an increase in
kayak registration, both river and sea types, over the last 10 years.
"Minnesota's Increases are not unlike the national trend," said Elverum.
"Although, surprisingly, from 1980 to 1999, Minnesotis 36 percent
overall increase in boat registrations was 13 percent below the overall
national increase in boat registrations of 49 percent."

wildlife, destruction of aquatic plants, hull, or indirectly through turbidity
and shoreline erosion are the major
areas of impact and wave damage. Propellers chop off
plant shoots and uproot whole plants
in shallow water, and Increased turbid-
ity from boat activity may limit the
light available for plants and limit
where plants can grow. Increased waves
may limit the growth of emergent
species, such as cattail, bulrushes and
sedges. Finally, boats may transport
exotic spedes, such as Eurasian water-
milfoll from one lake to another.
Water clarity
Propellers may disturb the lake
bottom directly, or indlrecUy through
the wash or turbulence they produce,
especially in shallow water. This can
decrease water clarity by increasing the
amount of sediment particles In the
water or may muse nutrients that are
stored In the sediments, such as phos-
phorus, to become available for algal
growth. Waves created by watercraft
may contribute to shoreline erosion,
which can cloud the water and decrease
water clarity.
Water clarity is important bemuse It
affects the ability of the fish to find
food, the depth at which aquatic plants
can grow, dissolved oxygen content,
and water temperature. It Is also impor-
tant aesthetically to the recreational
enjoyment of the lake and can even
affect property values.
Water qualities
Boat motors can add melds (lead,
cadmium, mercury), nutrients (phos-
phors, nitrates) and hydrocarbons
(methane, gasoline, ofi-based products)
Aquatic plants perform many
important ecosystem functions, indud-
ing habitat for fish, wildlife, and
minute invertebrate animals that are
important to the food chain. Plants
also stabilize the lake -bottom sedi-
ments, protect shorelines by providing
a butter between the shoreline and
open water, cycle nutrients in the water
to maintain water clarity, and are food
for many organisms.
Shoreline erosion
Boat wakes create waves that can lead
to shoreline erosion, especially in areas
where shoreline vegetation has been
removed or the bank Is compacted.
Wave height and other wave charac-
teristics vary with speed, type of water-
craft, engine size, and distance from
shore. Propeller turbulence from boats
operating In near -shore areas may erode
shorelines by destabilizing the bottom.
Shoreline erosion may affect water
clarity in near -shore areas, shading
submerged aquatic plants as well as
providing nutrients for algal growth. It
can interfere with fish use of shallow
water habitat, as well as wildlife use of
the land -water edge. Excessive shoreline
erosion can negatively affect property
values and can be expensive to Prevent

Fish are an hnportant part of the
food web. The presence or absence of
individual species, as well as overall fish
numbers, can be an indicator of ecosys-
tem health. Plus, fisheries are an Impor-
tant resource for food and recreation.
Any human activity that affects water
quality and habitat has the potential to
affect fish populations.

Wildlife
Boats may have direct impacts on
wildlife through contact with propellers
or the disturbance of nests along the
shoreline by excessive wave action.
Disturbance by the fast movement of
boats, or even the presence of humans
near feeding grounds or breeding areas,
may prevent certain species from repro-
ductivesuaess.
Noise or
harassment
may cause
loons and
other wildlife
to vacate nests, leaving the eggs or
young vulnerable to predators. Indirect
effects may include the destruction of
habitat or food sources in the shallow
areas, or Impaired water quality.
Summary
While the effects of boats on aquatic
systems are complex and depend on a
number of factors, a few general obser-
vations can be made.
First, the physical effects of
propeller, waves, and turbulence appear
to be more of an issue than engine fuel
discharge. Water clarity, aquatic plant
disturbance, and shoreline erosion are
all serious issues that can be accelerated
by boat traffic.
Second most of the impacts of
boats are felt directly in shallow waters
(less than 10 feet deep) and along the
shoreline of lakes and rivers not
exposed to high winds (less than 1000
feet of open water).
Third, these effects can have reper-
cussions for other features of the
aquatic ecosystem, including the fish
and wildlife community and nutrient
status. new observations all Indicate
that the most important area of a lake
to protect is the shallow water, near -
shore habitat known as the littoral
zone. Boats that operate in deep wate
with large surface areas are not likely, to
be impacting the aquatic ecosystem.
There are still a number of
unknowns regarding motorboat
impacts on aquatic systems. Most of
the studies in the Wisconsin report
focus on the short-term or acute
impacts of boat activity. It Is still not
clear what role boats can Play in the
long-term changes of a water body, i.e.
changes in the plant community, over-
all water quality, or fish and wildlife
use. Many other factors influence these
same features and may have changed
along with the increased boat activity.
What can we do?
1. Establish No -Wake Zones.
Given that most impacts of boats are
exhibited in shallow -water, near -shore
areas, protecting these areas with no -
wake zones would be the most effective
way of inducing impacts. No -wake
zones have a dual benefit of both slow-
ing boats down and directing traffic
elsewhere. Extending a no -wake zone
to 200 or even 300 feet has the most
potential to protect the littoral zone
and help reduce shoreline erosion.
2. Establish Restricted Areas. In
some cases, protection of aquatic
resources may require restricting all
boat activity, not Jus. speed. Boats can
still disturb plants, sediments, and
wildlife at no -wake speeds. To
adequately protect waterbinl feeding
and nesting areas, a 'buffer woe of at
least 300 feet has been suggested, In
which all human activity is restricted.
3. Enforcement and Education.
Many of the environmental problems
associated with boat activity could be
resolved with better enforcement of
existing ordinances or regulations and
by promoting awareness among
boaters. Slow -no -wake zones are often
ignored, or the impacts of boats are
misunderstood. It Is also important to
inform boaters about the Importance of
plants, littoral zones, and natural shore-
lines and how their activities may affect
the aquatic ecosystem.
4. New Boat Technology. All two-
stroke engine manufacturers, including
traditional outboard motors and PWCs,
must reduce air emissions by 75 percent
by the year 2025. Most manufacturers
have already introduced cleaner burning
two-stroke motors for both motorboats
and PWCs. Four-stroke engines, which
use fuel more efficiently, Produce
cleaner exhaust, and nun more quietly
than traditional two-stroke engines, are
becoming much more common.

The boat launch under the new master plan
would remain in the same location as the
existing boat launch # 1.
The existing drives and parking areas are used to the
extent possible for development of new use

facilities.
LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN
Figure 5.3 on the next page provides a
character sketch of the boat launch and
Visitor Contact Station area.
As illustrated, the existing drives and
parking areas are used to the extent
possible for development of new boat
launch facilities. This design approach
also spreads out the parking lot so that it
is a less imposing facility. As previously
defined, a total of 35 vehicle/trailer
parking spaces will be provided, which
equals the capacity of the park's two
existing launches.
The small, informal picnic area/outdoor
classroom overlooking the bay would be
retained for boaters, trail users, and
interpretive programs.
As figure 5.3 illustrates, the boat launch
includes two side-by-side ramps to increase its efficiency. Input from local boaters and the MNDNR should
solicited when the launch is developed to ensure that all functional issues are appropriately addressed.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
Aerial (looking north) illustrating the existing boat launch # 1, which will be

The parking lot for the launch would be paved with asphalt with some form of curbing to control vehicles and
minimize maintenance. Stormwater runoff from the parking area would be managed in an ecologically -sound
manner in keeping with the ecologically sustainable philosophy of the park.
Aside from the ramp and associated parking, the amenities to support the boat launch facility are purposefully
simple and limited. This includes convenient trails to connect each parking area to the boat launch. As illustrated
in figure 5.3, boardwalks may be needed to traverse a small lowland area. A small picnic shelter with a couple of
picnic tables is also shown near the boat launch. If the boat launch is developed before the Visitor Contact Station,
this location could be used for pit toilets on an interim basis. Boarding docks along the side of the boat launch are
also provided to ease the trailering operation. These would be wood decked and similar in design to the
boardwalks. A pull -off area near the boat launch for removing weeds from boats and trailers would be provided as
well.

achieves a number of important objectives.

The park drive would be designed to
be 22' wide with a rural cross-section.
Asphalt pavement is proposed to
control dust, reduce wash -boarding,
avoid mud and erosion, and minimize
ongoing maintenance costs - all of
which have been ongoing concerns
given the extensive use of the road.
As illustrated in figure 5.1, there is one
section of existing roadway that will be
eliminated to avoid redundancies in
roadway infrastructure. Once
eliminated, the existing roadbed will be
used for a new paved trail corridor as
shown on the Master Plan graphic and
defined later in this section.

Much of the public discussion about the park's development centered around the optimal location for the boat
launch. After consideration of a number of options, it was determined that consolidating the two existing boat
launches into one convenient location achieves a number of important objectives, including:
• Reducing the need for boaters to travel to different areas of the park to determine if a space is available.
• Reducing the extent to which vehicles with trailers will have to travel through the park to get to a boat launch
facility.
• Consolidating all parking spaces into a location that can be more readily observed from the Visitor Contact
Station.
Reducing the maintenance cost associated with maintaining two instead of one boat launch.
Providing an opportunity to use the area of the second boat launch for an alternative use.
Ensuring that there will be adequate water depth to launch boats during lower water cycles.
Providing a greater level of protection from the wind during launching operations.
Although consolidation of the two launches to the proposed location introduces more boat traffic into the bay
area, the advantages of this location ultimately outweighed the other options being considered. By limiting
vehicle/trailer parking to 35 spaces, it is anticipated that increased boat traffic in the bay will be manageable.
The small picnic area (as shown in figure 5.3)
will be retained.
A temporary stopping lane is also provided along the
park drive in front of the Contact Station to allow
vehicles with and without boat trailers to stop.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
A temporary stopping lane is also provided along the park drive in front of the Contact Station to allow vehicles
with and without boat trailers to stop. This lane also provides an area for vehicles with trailers to temporarily stack
while waiting for a parking space to open up. In busier times, stacking could also occur within the boat launch
parking lot, assuming that the attendant can adequately monitor and control use of the launch facility. The extent
to which space is required for stacking either along the road or within the parking lot will require additional design
consideration at the time of development, with a greater level of input from parks staff and boaters.

Aerial (looking north) illustrating the existing roadway
on the east side of the photo that will be transitioned
Boat Launch Facilities
It was determined that consolidation of the two
existing boat launches into one convenient location
achieves a number of important objectives.
IAKF MINNFWAC"TA Q .InMAI
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
The park drive would be designed to Figure 5.1- Character sketch of entrance redesign.
be 22' wide with a rural cross-section.
Asphalt pavement is proposed to
control dust, reduce wash -boarding,
avoid mud and erosion, and minimize
ongoing maintenance costs — all of
which have been ongoing concerns
given the extensive use of the road.
As illustrated in figure 5.1, there is one
section of existing roadway that will be
eliminated to avoid redundancies in
roadway infrastructure. Once
eliminated, the existing roadbed will be
used for a new paved trail corridor as
shown on the Master Plan graphic and
defined later in this section.

Much of the public discussion about the park's development centered around the optimal location for the boat
launch. After consideration of a number of options, it was determined that consolidating the two existing boat
launches into one convenient location achieves a number of important objectives, including:
Reducing the need for boaters to travel to different areas of the park to determine if a space is available.
Reducing the extent to which vehicles with trailers will have to travel through the park to get to a boat launch
facility.
Consolidating all parking spaces into a location that can be more readily observed from the Visitor Contact
Station.
• Reducing the maintenance cost associated with maintaining two instead of one boat launch.
• Providing an opportunity to use the area of the second boat launch for an alternative use.
• Ensuring that there will be adequate water depth to launch boats during lower water cycles.
• Providing a greater level of protection from the wind during launching operations.
Although consolidation of the two launches to the proposed location introduces more boat traffic into the bay
area, the advantages of this location ultimately outweighed the other options being considered. By limiting
vehicle/trailer parking to 35 spaces, it is anticipated that increased boat traffic in the bay will be manageable.
The boat launch under the new master plan
would remain in the same location as the
existing boat launch #1.
The existing drives and parking areas are used to the
extent possible for development of new boat launch
facilities.
Figure 5.3 on the next page provides a
character sketch of the boat launch and
Visitor Contact Station area.
As illustrated, the existing drives and
parking areas are used to the extent
possible for development of new boat
launch facilities. This design approach
also spreads out the parking lot so that it
is a less imposing facility. As previously
defined, a total of 35 vehicle/trailer
parking spaces will be provided, which
equals the capacity of the park's two
existing launches.
The small, informal picnic area/outdoor
classroom overlooking the bay would be
retained for boaters, trail users, and
interpretive programs.
As figure 5.3 illustrates, the boat launch
includes two side-by-side ramps to increase its efficiency. Input from local boaters and the MNDNR should be
solicited when the launch is developed to ensure that all functional issues are appropriately addressed.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
Aerial (looking north) illustrating the existing boat launch # 1, which will be
The parking lot for the launch would be paved with asphalt with some form of curbing to control vehicles and
minimize maintenance. Stormwater runoff from the parking area would be managed in an ecologically -sound
manner in keeping with the ecologically sustainable philosophy of the park.
Aside from the ramp and associated parking, the amenities to support the boat launch facility are purposefully
simple and limited. This includes convenient trails to connect each parking area to the boat launch. As illustrated
in figure 5.3, boardwalks may be needed to traverse a small lowland area. A small picnic shelter with a couple of
picnic tables is also shown near the boat launch. If the boat launch is developed before the Visitor Contact Station,
this location could be used for pit toilets on an interim basis. Boarding docks along the side of the boat launch are
also provided to ease the trailering operation. These would be wood decked and similar in design to the
boardwalks. A pull -off area near the boat launch for removing weeds from boats and trailers would be provided as
well.
LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN
5.6
The small picnic area (as shown in figure 5.3)
will be retained.
A temporary stopping lane is also provided along the
park drive in front of the Contact Station to allow
vehicles with and without boat trailers to stop.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
A temporary stopping lane is also provided along the park drive in front of the Contact Station to allow vehicles
with and without boat trailers to stop. This lane also provides an area for vehicles with trailers to temporarily stack
while waiting for a parking space to open up. In busier times, stacking could also occur within the boat launch
parking lot, assuming that the attendant can adequately monitor and control use of the launch facility. The extent
to which space is required for stacking either along the road or within the parking lot will require additional design
consideration at the time of development, with a greater level of input from parks staff and boaters.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed in the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Minnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15s, 2004.

h_. • 7 .. ....,
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between the City of
Chanhassen, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the Board of
Commissioners of Carver County, hereinafter referred to as the
County;
WITNESSETH, That in the exercise of their powers pursuant to law,
and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
City and County recite and agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. State Law and City Zoning Ordinance. It is acknowledged by
the parties hereto that under the provisions of M.S. §398.32, no
county park lands or waters may be acquired within the limits of any
city without the approval by resolution of the govering body of any
such city; and it is further acknowledged that under the provisions
of the City zoning ordinance, parks and recreational areas owned and
operated by governmental units may be allowed within residential
zoning districts only upon the securing of a conditional use permit
from the City.
1.02. County Park Proposal. The County proposes the acquisition
&F -a regional county park to be located on the northeast shore of
Lake Minnewashta, designating said park as Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park (hereinafter referred to as the "park"), and has made applica-
tion to the City for approval of said acquisition and the issuance
of a conditional use permit.
1.03. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. Except as here-
inafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park Master Plan as approved by the County Board of Commissioners by
resolution dated August , 1975, forms the conceptual basis of the
within conditional use permit for said County Regional Park. Said
Master Plan and approving County resolution are attached hereto as
Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incorporated herein by reference.
1.04. General Purpose. The purpose of this agreement is to set
forth the terms and conditions governing the approval by the City of
the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within conditional use
permit which are conditions precedent to land acquisition by the County
for the park.
Section 2. Park Areas C and D
2.01. Master Plan. In reliance on action taken by the Metropolitan
Council of the �Tw ni Cities and its Physical Development Committee,
whereby land area Parcels C and D were incorporated in and made a
-1-
C
part of the Master Plan of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, here-
inafter referred to as the "Master Plan," the parties hereto
acknowledge the necessity of the acquisition and development by the
County of land area Parcels C and D east of State Trunk Highway #41
for utilization as a natural demonstration and study area.
2.02. Acquisition Funding. The parties hereto acknowledge that
Parcels C.and D are integral components of the Master Plan and the
acquisition of said parcels is essential to the full development of
the regional park. In recognition thereof, the parties mutually
agree to employ their best efforts, jointly or severally or in concert
with Independent School District No. 276, to seek funding as expedi-
tiously as possible for the acquisition and development of said
Parcels C and D through grants from the state and federal governments
and the Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities.
Section 3. Schematic Plan.
3.01. Design Capacities. The design capacities as set forth in
Section III, Schematic Plan, of the Master Plan, and the Lake Minne-
washta Park Use Calculations of the Subcommittee for Master Planning
of the Lake Minnewashta Park, dated May 28, 1975, and attached hereto
as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute
the maximum development allowable in said proposed park.
Section 4. Development Plans.
4.01. Review and A'proval. Detailed development plans_ within the
proposed park shall be submitted to the City for review and -comment -
prior to approval by the County. -It is not contemplated that the
City shall have approval authority over the detailed development plans
so long as they are consistent in scope and capacities with the Master
Plan, except for appropriate development standards which may be
applied to development generally within the City. Any development
plans not consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan
shall require an amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Trail Connection and Lake Lucy Road Extension. Upon the
acquisition of land parcels C and D, appropriate provisions will be
made to accommodate the connection of said parcels with the trail
system proposed by the City, and if necessary, to permit the extension
of Lake Lucy Road westerly to State Trunk Highway #41 over the extreme
southern limits of Parcel C.
4.03. Development Schedule. The County does not propose any signi-
ficant development of the park until funds are available through the
grant program of the Metropolitan Council. Between 1978 and 1982, the
development activities at the park are proposed to consist essentially
of establishing a land stewardship program, development of a primitive
lake public access facility, and use of the existing buildings as
either a nature center or museum and park employee residence.
-2-
4.04. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship program will
consist principally of gradually phasing from cultivated land to turf
establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree nursery, beginning
prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel B, providing necessary
access control in terms of gate and fencing, controlling noxious
weeds, and to the extent feasible, controlling Dutch elm and oak
wilt disease.
Section 5. Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Committee. The park is intended to fill the. regional
recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and Victoria areas in
Carver County, which is generally described as Service Area 1 in the
County's Park and Open Space System Plan. In order to provide a means
of continuing review during the development and operating phases,
Carver County shall establish an Advisory Committee for Service Area 1.
This Advisory Committee shall consist of two representatives from
Chanhassen, one from Chaska, one from Victoria, and one from the County
Park Commission. The City representatives will be appointed by the
respective City Councils on an annual basis. The Advisory Committee
shall review the County's development plan and make recommendations to
the Carver County Park Commission in regard to such plan. The Advisory
Committee shall also monitor park operations in a general way, and
shall make recommendations to the County Park Commission in regard to
improvements in operating policies. The Advisory Committee members
shall also keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed
of their general activities. They shall alsoszrve as the conduit of
concerns from their respective City Councils to the County. The
Advisory Committee shall be established at such time as the County
begins preparation of detailed development plans or at the request of
the City prior to that time.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policing, Fire Protection and Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the County, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "D", shall regulate the
use of the park. The City and the Advisory Committee shall recommend
any appropriate amendments to the County Park Ordinance or regulatory
County Board Resolutions as the same may be applicable to the park.
In addition, all County proposed park ordinance amendments or regulatory
resolutions shall be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for its
recommendations and comments prior to enactment.
6.02. Policing. Policing of the park shall be the responsibility of
the County through its Sheriff's Department at no cost to the City.
Any supplementary police services furnished by any future City police
department shall be performed only under the terms and conditions of
a mutual aid agreement between the City and the County.
6.03. Fire Protection and Emergency Services. Fire protection and
emergency rescue services necessitated by land -oriented incidents shall
be provided by the Fire Department of the City. Emergency rescue ser-
vices necessitated by water -oriented incidents shall be provided by
County lifeguards or the County Sheriff's Water Patrol.

6.04. Lake Access. Access to Lake Minnewashta through the park
shall be limited to non -motorized boats or fishing boats of fifteen
(15) horsepower or less.
Section 7. Roads, Water and Sanitary Sewer Services.
7.01. Roads. All roads and trails within the park shall be con-
structed and maintained, including snow plowing, by She County.
7.02. Water and Sanitary Sewer Services. The County shall provide
water and sanitary sewer systems through on-site facilities approved
by the Minnesota State Board of Health and such other state regulatory
agencies having regulatory power thereof. When available, said water
and sanitary sewer services shall be connected to the City facilities
at the expense of the County. All connection charges, Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission sewer availability charges (SAC charges), and
sewer and water usage charges shall be paid by the County to the City
at the reasonable and customary then prevailing City rates for
comparable uses. Except for trunk water and sewer assessments payable
as provided in §8.01 hereof, sewer and water charges.will not be
based on a price structure which assumes a 211 dwelling unit develop-
ment, but rather will be based on a comparison of volumes generated by
similar residential, commercial, or institutional uses.
7.03. Water and Sanitary Sewer Easements. The County shall provide,
consistent with applicable Metropolitan Council policies and the
grant contract for acquisition of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
between the County and Metropolitan Council, at no cost to the City,
such linear water and sewer easements as the City may deem necessary
to provide water and sanitary sewer services to the park and contiguous
areas. Said easement alignments shall not be so located as to materially
affect the character of the Park.
Section 8. Assessments, Taxes, and Costs.
8.01. Outstanding Assessments. By resolution adopted October 20,
1975, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "E", the City
levied a total of 211 trunk water and sewer unit assessments against
the properties to be acquired for the park. It is a condition to the
grant of the within conditional use permit that all of said assessments
be paid in full by the County immediately upon its acquisition of said
properties. Included within said payment shall be accrued interest
computed pursuant to M.S. §429.061.
8.02. Tax Equivalents. In the event the Metropolitan Council of the
Twin Cities fails or declines to pay to the City tax equivalents
under M.S. §473.341, it is agreed that said tax equivalents shall be
paid by the County to the City upon demand.
8.03. City Costs. The County agrees to reimburse the City promptly
upon invoicing therefor, all reasonable and customary costs incurred
by the City since the inception of the park concept through the con-
ditional use permit. Eligible costs shall consist of publication and
notification expenses, attorney fees, engineering fees, costs in
connection with the November 2, 1977 public hearing, and any other
reasonable outside direct costs to the City.
-4-
Section 9. General Provisions.
9.01. Indemnification. The County shall indemnify and hold the Cityl
harmless from liability on account of injury or damages to person or
property arising out of the operation of the park facilities. In the
event legal action is brought against the City, either solely or
jointly with the County, on account of any such injury or damage, the
County, on notice to it by the City, shall defend the City in any such
action at the expense of the County. In the event of judgment against
the City in any such action, the County shall -pay such judgment and
all costs in connection therewith, and hold the City harmless therefrom
The County does not agree to indemnify, hold harmless, or defend any
action or pay any judgment arising from acts of officials, employees,

The recommendations of the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee have
been incorporated in the attached amended conditional use permit.
The permit also encompasses the four minor changes considered one
year ago. Recommendations of the Planning Commission, which do
not relate to the conditional use permit itself, are recommended
to be approved - but not as a part of the conditional use permit.
Specifically, city staff should be instructed to physically close
the access adjacent to Leach's when the new access is completed and
to insure that the "no wake zone" is designated in accordance
with the new Water Surface Usage Ordinance. Regarding the boat
access policy, such should be considered by the Planning
Commission as a part of their current ordinance revisions.
Approval of the amended conditional use permit, as herein
attached, is recommended.
Report Of The
Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
June 1983
Members: Arnie Red - Chair
Clark Horn
John Neveaux
Tom Nierz
Pat Murphy
Established: by City Council --August 1982
Charge: To study public access alternatives for Lake Minnewashta
Background
1. City/County Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park has 15 horsepower limit.
2. City's informal access adjacent to Leach's Resort is
unrestricted.
3-. Private access (Leach's) is unrestricted.
4. DNR does not recognize any of these 3 accesses as meeting
their definition. Therefore, no fish management programs.
5. Metro Council would not approve development master plan or
future development funding for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
with the 15 horsepower restriction. Also, affected City's park
grant consideration.
G. County applied for C.U.P. amendment deleting the i5 horsepower
restriction.
7. Park & Recreation Commission recommended approval.
8. Planning Commission recommended denial.
9. City Council established this committee to study alternatives.
Committee Work:
1. Met with DNR & Metro Council representatives:
a. Neither DNR nor Metro Council will use their funds for
more shoreline when Regional Park has 2 miles.
b. DNR would be amenable to location other than the park -if
they did not have to fund land acquisition.
Attachment #2

cannot be r -ated from the launchinc-(, is by roadway.
d. Total of 32 to 37 parking spaces must be provided to meet
DNR -and Metro Councilrequirements. Some of these spaces
could be assigned to the restricted access on Little
Minne.
2. Reviewed potential access areas around lake:
a. Existing city access adjacent to Leach's Resort:
* Developed plan for moving Minnewashta Parkway.
* Not economically viable.
* Residents object to current use and long term use as
access.
* Apparently unwilling sellers.
b. Leach's Resort:
* Development potential of land too valuable for long
term use as access.
* Extremely expensive to acquire.
c. Island at south end of lake north of Hwy. 5:
* Safety problems with car/trailer access off and onto
Hwy. 5.
* Marginal in size and may require fill on island.
* Environmentally sensitive around island as spawning
area.
* Fill required would make turn lanes expensive and
environmentally harmful. Permits for filling would be
difficult to obtain.
* Potentially expensive and difficult to acquire.
d. Existing neighborhood accesses (street extensions) located
in several subdivisions:
* Extremely disruptive to established neighborhoods.
* Expensive and difficult to provide parking.
e. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (3 potential areas):
* Little Minne is environmentally sensitive and should
not be the principal public boat entrance to the lake,
access wy out serioucly disrupting C le pianned uses
of picr 7 and swimming. Also r at the "end"
the entrance road, it hinders the pc_ational
flexibility of the park plan.
of
* The one other remaining area, located in the southern
third of the park, may detract from one picnic area,
but would not require any extra road work and a
launching and parking area could be reasonably
designed and permits should be easily obtainable.
Conclusions:
1. An access meeting DNR requirements is in the long term best
interest of the City.
2. Resolving the issue at this time maximizes the City's control
of the solution.
3. The total amount of access spaces currently available to the
lake exceeds the minimum numbers required by DNR and Metro
Council, but is uncoordinated, creates conflicts on the west
side of the lake, and does not meet the definition of public
access used by those agencies.
4. Access meeting DNR and Metro Council standards can be obtained
within the boundaries of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park with
less impact on the community than any other location around
the lake.
Recommendations:
We hereby recommend that the City Council endorse the concept of dual
public accesses located within Lake Minnewashta Regional -Park. Ile
believe this concept provides the best long term solution to providing
reasonable public access to Lake Minnewashta with the least impact to
the community and to the environment; and with minimal impact on the
County's plan for the regional park.
We recommend that the following specific proposals be adopted as the
means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access will be limited to a maximum of 20
parking spaces. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will be
resident at the park.
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City should
physically close its access adjacent to Leach's Resort. The
City shouid'make a policy statement that the closing of a
quasi -public access or private access will not constitute a
reason or justification, to increase public access parking or
capacity. This statement could be included within the City's
Comprehensive Plan as is proposed for Vo. 6.
a maximum 30 ho -I ower motor size andja mar mm -of 15 parking
spaces will beided to serve that accE The County
should be permitted to rent a limited number of canoes for use
on Little Minnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and the City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these changes.
5. Little Minne should be surface zoned as a "Slow - No Wake"
zone.
6. The City should establish a firm policy position regarding all
public accesses,.such as "the city hereby establishes a. boat
access policy and standard of one (1) parking space for every
20 acres of water surface - such being both a minimum and
maximum standard on all City lakes." Further, this policy and
standard should be included within the City's Comprehensive
Plan as well as within a lard use ordinance (water surface or
zoning), such requiring a 4/5ths vote to -be modified thus
providing reasonable assurance of continuity.

Study Committee
Waibel presented the staff report indicating that approximately
one year ago, the Metropolitan Council and D.N.R. noted opposi-
tion to the horsepower restriction on the Minnewashta Regional
Park access for reasons that it is discriminatory. The City
Council, in recognition that resolution of this matter was
needed, created the Lake Minnewashta Boat Access Study Committee
to research and recommend on how public access to Lake
Minnewashta can be best accommodated. He stated that, as far as
Minnewashta Regional Park is concerned, the recommendations of
the committee are found in the following amendment to the con-
ditional use permit.
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity for 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked official Copy.
Arnie Hed: I worked with this committee during the past few
months as Chairman. We worked with the D.N.R. and the Metro
Council and they came out and looked at the various options and
facilities. I think we examined every possible alternative on
Minnewashta. It was our objective from the very beginning to
control the density on the lake and also to provide public access
use of the lake but not abuse. In the past, the access has been
next to Leach's Resort, which is actually a vacated street and
was not authorized by the D.N.R. so the D.N.R. did not take care
of the lake in the past 12-15 years. The use, as you are probably
aware of, on 15 and Minnewashta Parkway, there are sometimes 40
or more cars and trailers. So this poses a high safety problem
in Minnewashta Parkway. We looked at some creative ways of
solving the problem, by moving Minnewashta Parkway further west.
We got the cooperation from the City and the County and they
examined that. We had a meeting and perhaps 40 or 50 residents
from around the lake attended. We found that it was initally not
feasible. The most attractive to, we felt, the city, the resi-
dents of the lake, the County, D.N.R., Metro Council, was to
utilize some of the existing facilities in the regional park.

Jur hope there was to keep non -motorized craft in Little Minnie
Bay and the motorized craft down the shoreline. The location for
the access is nearly a mile from any residential area. At the
time the access would go in, the public access that exists next
to Leach's will be automatically closed and that would eliminate
any safety problems on Minnewashta Parkway. We anticipate that
Leach's Resort, because of economic conditions, will probably not
run more than 1-3 years at the most. Currently, Leach's is
Putting in about 30 boats a day. So if we are lowering the den-
sity on that Luce for an excess of the D.N.R. safety standards,
30 boats coming from Leach's and 25 over at the new park. But
when Leach's close, there will be no increase in spaces at the
regional park. We feel that in the long run we will be reducing
the traffic on the lake than what currently exists. Minnewashta
Park will be controlled with an attendant, so there will be much
more policing then what we have had on 15.
Albee :roved, seconded Py Noziska to close the public hearing, all
voted in favor and the motion carried.
Merz moved, seconded by Albee, to recommend that City Council
adopt amendment 6.04 to the Conditional Use Permit with the
:ollowing addition: "The Lake Minnewashta Park be the only
access on the lake." and the following specific proposals be
adopted as the means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will
be resident•at the park.
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City
9+va will physically close its access adjacent to Leach's
Resort. The City should will make a policy statement that
the closing of a quasi -public access or private access will
not constitute a reason or justification to increasae public
access parking or capacity. This statement eould shall be
included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as is proposed
for No. 6.
3. The existing public access on Little Minnie will be limited
to a maximum 10 horsepower motor size and a maximum of 15
parking spaces will be provided to serve that access. The
County should be permitted to rent a limited number of canoes
for use on Little Minnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and the City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these changes.

Waibel summarized that the request was to change the land use
designation for the southerly most 23.92 acres of Tract B, RLS 88
from campus business to commercial.
haibel stated that staff finds approval of the request may be
granted at this time with the anticipation that further land use
plan amendments will be forth coming shortly for the lands
adjoining the subject property as a result of the Zoning and
Subdivision Ordinance revisions. He also stated that the
existence of large undeveloped areas between this property and
areas of planned or existing development presents a situation
where a wide variety of well planned land uses can be compatably
accommodated.

CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
AMENDED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between the City
of Chanhassen, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the Board
of Commissioners of Carver County, hereinafter referred to as the
County;
WITNESSETH, that in the exercise of their powers pursuant to
law, and in consideration of the mutual convenants herein con-
tained, the City and County recite and agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. State Law and City Zoning Ordinance. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that under the provisions of
M.S. $398.32, no county parklands or waters may be acquired
within the limits of any city without the approval by resolution
of the governing body of any such city; and it is further
acknowledged that under the provisions of the City zoning ordi-
nance, parks and recreational areas owned and operated by govern-
mental units may be allowed within residential zoning districts
only upon the securing of a conditional use permit from the City.
1.02. County Park Proposal. The County proposes the
acquisition and development of a regional park to be located on
the northeast shore of Lake Minnewashta, designating said park as
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (hereinafter referred to as the
"park"), and has made application to the City for approval of
said acquisition and development and the issuance of a con-
ditional use permit.
1.03. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. Except
as hereinafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan - 1982 Updated - as
approved by the County Board of Commissioners on April 13, 1982
forms the basis of this conditional use permit for said County
Regional Park. Said Master Plan and approving County motion are
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incor-
porated herein by reference.
1.04. General Purpose. The purpose of this agreement is
to setforth the terms and conditions governing the approval by
the City of the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within
conditional use permit which are conditions precedent to land
acquisition by the County for the park.
Section 2. Park Areas C and D.
2.01. Master Plan. Whereas the City, the County, and the
Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities have determined that
removal of areas C and D from the Master Plan of the Lake
Minnewashta Regiona_ Park, hereinafter referrer .o as the "Master
Plan", will not adversely affect the purpose or function of the
park, and whereas the City and the Metropolitan Council of the
Twin Cities have approved a change to the adopted Land Use Plan
from "Parks/open Space" to "Residential -Low Density", the parties
hereto acknowledge that land area Parcels C and D are removed
from the boundaries of the park as defined in Exhibit "A".
Section 3. Schematic Plan.
3.01. Design Capacities. The design capacities as set -
forth on page 26, table 6 of the Master Plan, and the Lake
Minnewashta Park Use Calculations of the Subcommittee for Master
Planning of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, dated May 28,
1975, shall constitute the maximum development allowable in said
proposed park.
Section 4. Development Plans.
4.01. Review and Approval. Detailed development plans
within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for review
and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not con-
templated that the City shall have approval authority over the
detailed development plans so long as they are consistent in
scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development
generally within the City. Any development plans not consistent
in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall require an
amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Development Schedule. The County does not propose
any significant development of the park until funds are available
through the grant program of the Metropolitan Council. Between
1978 and 1982, the development activities at the park are pro-
posed to consist essentially of establishing a land stewardship
program, development of a primitive lake public access facility,
and use of the existing buildings as either a nature center or
museum and park employee residence.
4.03. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship
program will consist principally of gradually phasing from culti-
vated land to turf establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree
nursery, beginning prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel
B, providing necessary access control in terms of gate and
fencing, controlling noxious weeds, and to the extent feasible,
controlling Dutch elm and oak wilt disesase.
Section 5. Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Committee. The park is intended to fill
the regional recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and
Victoria area in Carver County (as described in Section 4, Local
and Regional Recreation Needs Analyses of the Master Plan). In
order to provide a means of continuing review during the develop-
ment and operating phases, Carver County shall establish an
Advisory Committee consisting of two representatives from
Chanhassen, one from Chaska, one from Victoria, and one from the
-2-
County Park Commission. The City representation will be
appointed by the respective City Councils on an annual basis.
The Advisory Committee shall review the County's development plan
and make recommendations to the Carver County Park Commission in
regard to such plan. The Advisory Committee shall also monitor
park operations in a general way, and shall make recommendations
to the County Park Commission in regard to improvements in
operating policies. The Advisory Committee members shall also
keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed of
their general activities. They shall also serve as the conduit
of concerns from their respective City Councils to the County.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policing, Fire Protection and
Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the
County shall regulate the use of the park. The City and the
Advisory Committee shall recommend any appropriate amendments to
the County Park Ordinance or regulatory County Board Resolutions
as the same may be applicable to the park. In addition, all
County proposed park ordinance amendments or regulatory resolu-
tions shall be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for its recom-
mendations and comments prior to enactment.
6.02. Policing. Policing of the park shall be the
responsibility of the County through its Sheriff's Department at
no cost to the City. Any supplementary police services furnished
by any future City police department shall be performed only
under the terms and conditions of a mutual aid agreement the City
and the County.
6.03. Fire Protection and Emergency Services. Fire pro-
tection and emergency rescue services necessitated by land -
oriented incidents shall be provided by the Fire Department of
the City. Emergency rescue services necessitated by water -
oriented incidents shall be provided by County lifeguards or the
County Sheriff's Water Patrol.
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity of 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked Official Copy.
Section 7. Roads, Water and Sanitary Sewer Services.
7.01. Roads. All roads and trails within the park shall
be constructed and maintained, including snow plowing, by the
County.
-3-
7.02. Water and Sanitary Sewer Services. The County
shall provide water and sanitary sewer systems through on-site
facilities approved by the Minnesota State Board of Health and
such other state regulatory agencies having regulatory power
thereof. When available, said water and sanitary sewer services
shall be connected to the City facilities at the expense of the
County. All connection charges, Metropolitan Waste Control
Comission sewer availability charges (SAC charges), and sewer and
water usage charges shall be paid by the County to the City at
the reasonable and customary then prevailing City rates for com-
parable uses. Except for trunk water and sewer assessments
payable as provided in $8.01 hereof, sewer and water charges will
not be based on a price structure which assumes a 211 dwelling
unit development, but rather will be based on a comparison of
volumes generated by similar residential, commercial or institu-
tional uses.
7.03. _Water and Sanitary Sewer Easements. The County
shall provide, consistent with applicable Metropolitan Council
policies and the grant contract for acquisition of the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park between the County and Metropolitan
County, at no cost to the City, such linear water and sewer ease-
ments as the City may deem necessary to provide water and sani-
tary sewer services to the park and contiguous areas. Said
easement alignments shall not be so located as to materially
affect the character of the park.
Section 8. Assessments, Taxes and Costs.
8.01. Outstanding Assessments. By resolution adopted
October 20, 1975, the City levied a total of 211 trunk water and
sewer unit assessments against the properties to be acquired for
the park. It is a condition to the grant of the within con-
ditional use permit that all of said assessments to be paid in
full by the County immediately upon its acquisition of said prop-
erties. Included within said payment shall be accrued interest
computed pursuant to M.S. 5429.061.
8.02. Tax Equivalents. In the event the Metropolitan
Council of the Twin Cities fails or declines to pay to the City
tax equivalents under M.S. 5473.341, it is agreed that said tax
equivalents shall be paid by the County to the City upon demand.
8.03. City Costs. The County agrees to reimburse the
City promptly upon invoicing therefor, all resonable and custo-
mary costs incurred by the City since the enception of the park
concept through the conditional use permit. Eligible costs shall
consist of publication and notification expenses, attorney fees,
engineering fees, costs in connection with the November 2, 1977
public hearing, and any other reasonable outside direct costs to
the City.

any such injury or damage, the County, on notice to it by the
City, shall defend the City in any such action at the expense of
the County. In the event of judgement against the City in any
such action, the County shall pay such judgement and all costs in
connection therewith, and hold the City harmless therefrom. The
County does not agree to indemnify, hold harmless, or defend any
action or pay any judgement arising from acts of officials,
employees or agents of the city while in the park.

YOUR VOICE TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE MINNESOTAS LAKES AND FIVERS MARCH/APRIL, 2001 VOWME 5, NO. 2
THE IMPACTS OF MOTORIZED WATERCRAFT ON THE LAKE ENVIRONMENT
Leisurely boating around the lake on a
warm summer afternoon, cruising after
supper to watch the sunset over the lake,
fishing in the quiet of the early morning, or
watching the grardchlldreris delight in
being pulled around the lake on a water
tube or skits are just a few of the pleasures
that motorboating brings to hundreds of
thousands of people in Minnesota each year.
Yet, as the number of motorized boats
on Minnesotes lakes continues to increase,
questions arise about the potential impacts
these boats have on the lake environment.
These impacts can be on water clarity,
shoreline erosion, plant communities, fish,
wildlife, water quality deterioration, and
human enjoyment (air quality, peace and
quiet, safety and crowding). And, the
Increasing development of lakes and rivers
leads to Increased boat activity, especially in
areas that have not been traditionally used
for recreation.
How might more and more motorized
boats affect our lakes? The rest of this arti-
cle attempts to answer the question through
a summary of findings from the recently
completed study, 'The Effects of Motorized
Watercraft on Aquatic Ecosystems' by
Timothy Asplund, Wisconsin Depubme st of
Natural Resources and the University of
Wisconsin Water Chemistry Program. From
this point forward, "boats will be used to
mean rotor ad boats Including powerboats,
fishing boats, pontoon boats and personal
watercraft.
continued on page 6
Increased numbers of motorized boats in Minnesota
According to boat statistics provided by Kim Eiverum, boating coordinator, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, in the last 20
years there has been a 28 percent Increase in registered motorboats, and boats are larger in size. There is also a significant increase in the
number of personal watercraft (PWC).
Between 1980 and 2000:
• the number of motorboats less than 16 feet decreased by almost 20 percent, from 296,969 to 241,986 boats;
• the number of motorboats 16 feet to less than 26 feet increased by almost 125 percent, from 145,000 to 323,000 registered boats,
• the number of motorboats 26 feet and over Increased by 63 percent, from 4,367 to 7,138;
• PWC increased by five fold (537%) from 6,298 registered in 1990 to 33,883 registered in 2000;
• The total number of registered motorboats increased 28 percent, while boats of all types Increased 40 percent to a total of 812,247 regis-
tered boats of all types in Minnesota in 2000.
Sharing some of his experiences from 27 years with the DNR, Elverum
said the increase in motorboats from 16 feet to less than 26 feet comes
mostly in the 16 -to -19 foot range. The largest growth in this category
is probably aluminum outboard fishing [oats, as more anglers trailer
their own craft from lake to lake. The number of 17 -to -19 foot fiber
-
glass runabouts has also increased—both outboard and inboard -
outboard drives. The rate of increase in personal watercraft registrations
dropped off after it peaked in 1995, while there has been an increase in
kayak regiscstion, Loth river and sea types, over the last 10 years.
"Minnesota's increases are not unlike the national mend; said Elvenun.
"Although, surprisingly, from 1980 to 1999, Minrmesotas 36 percent
overall increase in boat registrations was 13 percent below the overall
national Increase In boat registrations of 49 percent'

How can motorized boats affect lakes? (continued from Page 1)
Boats interact with the aquatic
ecosystem—defined as the lake
community of plants and animals and
the physical and chemical environment
In which they exist—by a variety of
mechanisms. These can include ends -
$tons and exhaust, propeller contact,
turbulence from the propulsion system,
waves produced by movement, noise,
and movement Itself. In tum, these
impacting mechanisms may have
multiple effects on the aquatic ecosys-
tem. Sediment resuspension, water
pollution, disturbance of fish and
wildlife, destruction of aquatic plants,
and shoreline erosion are the major
areas of impact.
Water clarity
Propellers may disturb the lake
bottom directly, or indirectly through
the wash or turbulence they produce,
especially in shallow water. This can
decrease water clarity by increasing the
amount of sediment particles In the
water or may cause nutrients that are
stored In the sediments, such as phos-
phorus, to become available for algal
growth. Waves created by watercraft
may contribute to shoreline erosion,
which can cloud the water and decrease
water clarity.
Water clarity is important because it
affects the ability of the fish to find
food, the depth at which aquatic plants
can grow, dissolved oxygen content,
and water temperature. It is also Impor-
tant aesthetically to the recreational
enjoyment of the lake and can even
affect property values.
Water qualities
Boat motors can add metals (lead,
cadmium, mercury), nutrients (phos-
phorus, nitrates) and hydrocarbons
(methane, gasoline, oil-based products)
to the water column. These added
chemicals an affect the pH and
dissolved oxygen of the lake, which in
tum can influence the type and abun-
dance of fist[.
A certain amount of the fuel that
enters into a motor is discharged
unburned and ends up in the water.
Two stroke engines, which make up
the vast majority of boat motors, are
particularly Inefficient. On average, 25
to 30 percent of the boat's fuel may
pass into the water column. Other
concerns include lowered oxygen levels
due to carbon monoxide inputs, and
spurs or leaks associated with the
transfer of gasoline near the lake.
Plant Communities
Boats impact plant communities
(macmphytes) either dhectly, through
contact with the propeller and boat
hull, or indirectly through turbidity
and wave damage. Propellers chop off
plant shoots and uproot whole plants
in shallow water, and increased turbid-
ity from boat activity may limit the
light available for plants and limit
where plants can grow. Increased waves
may limit the growth of emergent
species, such as cattail, bulrushes and
sedges. Finally, boats may transport
exotic species, such as Eurasian water-
mllfotl from one lake to another.
Aquatic plants perform many
important ecosystem functions, indud-
ing habitat for fish, wildlife, and
minute invertebrate animals that are
important to the food chain. Plants
also stabilize the lake -bottom sedl-
ments, protect shorelines by providing
a buffer between the shoreline and
open water, cycle nutrients it the water
to maintain water clarity, and are food
for many organisms.
Shoreline erosion
Boat wakes create waves that an lead
to shoreline erosion, especially In areas
where shoreline vegetation has been
removed or the bank is compacted.
Wave height and other wave charac-
teristics vary with speed, type of water-
craft., engine size, and distance from
shore. Propeller turbulence from boats
operating in near -shore areas may erode
shorelines by destabilizing the bottom.
Shoreline erosion may affect water
clarity In near -shore areas, shading
submerged aquatic plants as well as
providing nutrients for algal growth. It
an interfere with fish use of shallow
water habitat, as well as wildlife use of
the land -water edge. Excessive shoreline
erosion an negatively affect property
values and an be expensive to prevent.
Fish
Direct contact of
boats or propellers
may be a source of
mortality for certain
fish species, such as
carp, and pollution
from exhaust or
spills may be toxic ;
some fish. Boating
can also disturb fish
nesting, spawning, _
or feeding areas.„°
Increased water turbidity caused by
boats may Interfere with sight -based
feeding, and waves or propeller damage
can affect population levels through
habitat alternation.
Fish are an important part of the
food web. The presence or absence of
individual species, as well as overall fish
numbers, can be an indicator of ecosys-
tem health. Plus, fisheries are an Impor-
tant resource for food and recreation.
Any human activity that affects water
quality and habitat has the potential to
affect fish populations.

Wildlife
Boats may have direct Impacts on
wildlife through contact with propellers
or the disturbance of nests along the
shoreline by excessive wave action.
Disturbance by the fast movement of
boats, or even the presence of humans
[tear feeding grounds or breeding areas,
may prevent certain species from repro-
ductive success.
®Noise or
harassment
-- may cause
loons and
other wildlife
to vacate nests, leaving the eggs or
young vulnerable to predators. Indirect
effects may Include the destruction of
habitat or food sources in the shallow
areas, or impaired water quality.
Summary
While the effects of boats on aquatic
systems are complex and depend on a
number of factors, a few general obser-
vations can be made.
First, the physical effects of
propeller, waves, and turbulence appear
to be more of an Issue than engine fuel
discharge. Water clarity, aquatic plant
disturbance, and shoreline erosion are
all serious issues that can be accelerated
by boat traffic.
Second, most of the Impacts of
boats am felt directly in shallow waters
(less than 10 feet deep) and along the
shoreline of lakes and rivers not
exposed to high winds (less than 1000
feet of open water).
Third, these effects can have reper-
cussions for other features of the
aquatic ecosystem, Including the fish
and wildlife community and nutrient
status. These observations all Indicate
that the most important area of a lake
to protect is the shallow water, near -
shore habitat known as the littoral
zone. Boats that operate in deep waters
with large surface areas are not likely to
be Impacting the aquatic ecosystem.
There are still a number of
unknowns regarding motorboat
Impacts on aquatic systems. Most of
the studies in the Wisconsin report
focus on the short-term or acute
impacts of boat activity. It is still not
clear what role boats can play in the
long-term changes of a water body, i.e.
changes in the plant community, over-
all water quality, or fish and wildlife
use. Many other factors influence these
same features and may have changed
along with the Increased boat activity.
What can we do?
1. Establish No -Wake Zones.
Given that most Impacts of boats are
exhibited in shallow -water, near -store
areas, protecting these areas with no -
wake zones would be the most effective
way of reducing Impacts. No -wake
zones have a dual benefit of both slow -
Ing boats down and directing traffic
elsewhere. Extending a no -wake zone
to 200 or even 300 feet has the most
potential to protect the littoral zone
and help reduce shoreline erosion.
2. Establish Restricted Areas. In
some cases, protection of aquatic
resources may require restricting all
boat activity, not just speed. Boats can
still disturb plants, sediments, and
wildlife at no -wake speeds. To
adequately protect waterblml feeding
and nesting areas, a 'buffer zone of at
least 300 feet has been suggested, In
which ail human activity Is restricted.
3. Enforcement and Education.
Many of the environmental problems
associated with boat activity could be
resolved with better enforcement of
existing ordinances or regulations and
by promoting awareness among
boaters. Slow -no -wake zones are often
Ignored, or the impacts of boats are
misunderstood. It is also Important to
inform boaters about the Importance of
plants, littoral zones, and natural shore-
lines and how their activities may affect
the aquatic ecosystem.
4. New Boat Technology. All two-
stroke engine manufacturers, including
traditional outboard motors and PWCs,
must reduce air emissions by 75 percent
by the year 2025. Most manufacturers
have already introduced cleaner -burning
two-stroke motors for both motorboats
and PWCs. Four-stroke engines, which
use fuel more efficiently, produce
cleaner exhaust, and run more quietly
than traditional two-stroke engines, are
becoming much more common.

The County requests the amendment for the following reasons:
• The existing no wake zone eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction and is more sensitive to erosion
concerns caused by any boat.
• • Few boat motors are less than 10 horsepower.
• The restriction is rat observed by the public.
• The restriction can not reasonably be enforced or managed. L
• It is not cost effective to enforce the restriction.
• Boats of varying sizes use boat access #1 during periods of low lake elevation due to the greater water
depth at this access.

86B.205 Water surface use ordinance.
Subdivision 1. Assistance. The commissioner shall
develop and publish guidelines to assist counties adopting water
surface use ordinances for waters within their jurisdiction.
Subd. 2. Surface use ordinances. (a) A county board
may, by ordinance, regulate the surface use of bodies of water
located entirely or partially within the county and not located
entirely within the boundary of a single city or lake
conservation district established by law.
(b) If a body of water is located within more than one
county, a surface use ordinance is not effective until adopted
by the county boards of all the counties where the body of water
lies under section 471.59 or placed into effect by order of the
commissioner under subdivision 9.
(c) With the authorization of an affected city or lake
conservation district, a county board may assume and exercise
the powers in subdivisions 2 to 5 with respect to bodies of
water lying entirely within that city or lake conservation
district. The regulation by the county of the surface use of a
portion of a body of water located within the boundary of a city
must be consistent with any city regulation existing on May 25,
1973, of the surface use of that portion of the body of water.
After January 1, 1975, the ordinance must be consistent with the
provisions of this chapter and rules of the commissioner under

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Sacchet: I do have a few questions. Real quick. Now staff report on page 4 states that staff agrees with
slow wake zone surface wake surface zoning since it's considered, no that's not the one. Hang on. It
says that Mime Bay is considered environmentally sensitive. Right? So it's your opinion that by having
the no wake zone that's sufficiently accommodated?
Metzer. Well basically we're basing our opinion off of what the DNR has told us. Speaking with 4
different members, none have any issues. The only one really making any statements other than no
comment, or no issues with it was Daryl Ellison, Fisheries Supervisor. Just stated that there's some
vegetation in little Minne and he also noted that it's good bass habitat but he stated that the no wake
restrictions are sufficient for that.
Sacchet: Are sufficient. Because I looked at the findings and it says while it will not be detrimental or
damaged to safety comfort, general welfare, it will not be hazardous or disturbing to the environment. It
will not result in any destruction or damage of natural, scenic or historic features. It will be aesthetically
compatible, and I was just wondering, I mean if we have this really sensitive environmental piece there,
why would we want to have bigger motors on it?
Al -Jaffa If you have the no wake, that basically will mitigate any or at least lessen environmental impacts.
Sacchet: Lessen, okay. Ahight. Any word from our environmental people over there?
Haak: I can certainly speak to that. I guess my comment would be limited to the facts that the planners
have already stated which is really the slow no wake ordinance is going to be quite effective and possibly
even more enforceable in Little Minne Bay. If that's something that let's say, I've seen other lake
associations maybe pay a little bit to Carver County for additional patrols or things like that. If the
County is aware that that is in existence and potentially you know that's just really a communication
bridge that has to be gapped, or to span in order to make sure that the enforcement on that is adequate.
Sacchet: Now help me out. It's already no wake.
Haak: Correct.
Sacchet: Right, so that is not, would not be a new thing.
Haak: Right. The argument presently.
Sacchet: We're trusting that the people with the big motors will respect it too at this point, is what it boils
down to.
Haak: From what I understand, which is really what we're trusting them to do right now is police
themselves with the 10 horsepower limit.
Sacchet: Because we're not really policing the size of the motor in the first place.
Haak: And Carver County can speak a little bit more eloquently to that I believe because they actually
manage that park entrance but it's my understanding that yes, it's difficult if not impossible to police that
10 horsepower limit already.
Sacchet: Okay, thanks Lori.
Haak: yep.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Sacchet: Well unless there are any other more questions, which it seems there aren't, I would like to
invite the applicant. Do we have an applicant here? To come forward. If you want to add to what staff
presented.
Marty Walsh: Sure, Mr. Chair. Thank you for the opportunity.
Sacchet: Do you want to state your name.
Marty Walsh: Yes, Marty Walsh with Carver County Parks and again, thank you for the opportunity to
be before you here tonight. The issue with regards to horsepower restrictions at Lake Minnewashta Park
is one of kind of convenience. I shouldn't say convenience but more of a customer service orientation if
you will for the park. Folks when they come to the park area and they have a boat, they are looking for a
place to park. Whether it's a 10 horsepower or more, they just want to park their boat. And they'll park
and that's what they do at any one of our park accesses until such point as we're full, and then we have
them wait outside the park until we have an available spot for them. But with regards to the horsepower
restriction, one of the flaws of the overall thought about restricting the horsepower limit just to the 10
boat stalls. It says nothing about the other boats that may come through the other access or property
owners that are actually coming into Little Minne from another direction, so while it addresses what
might be going out through the 10 horsepower, which if you take a look at the number of boats on the
lake, that particular access makes probably about 5% or fewer of the boats that might be on the lake at
anyone given time. To concentrate that sort of emphasis on just that access there is probably not the best
way to do it and a no wake zone is much more again enforceable and that applies to everyone that's in
that area, whether they come from inside the park or outside the park boundaries. So from our
perspective it just gets, it's a bit redundant in terms of the enforcement that's needed for there, and fiankly
we can't enforce it. It's very difficult for us to do that. Again while we can count the numbers of boats
that go into the site, we have a very difficult time in ascertaining what horsepower somebody has at any
one given moment and once you get past the gatehouse, we don't know which boat access they went to.
So trying to come up with a system to police that is tough, and it's probably very poor in terms of cost
effectiveness and time would be better spent regulating water surface Hiles rather than trying to enforce a
rule that applies essentially 10 boats that park at any one time and not looking at the bigger picture if you
will. The other 200 or 300 watercraft that might be in the area. So I guess I'd leave it at that and if
there's more questions...
Sacchet: Let's see if we have some questions for you. Any questions for the applicant? Jerry, go ahead
McDonald: I have a question. Well let me ask you, what was the original intent of the 10 horsepower?
Was that to keep the wakes down and it was felt that the 10 horsepower would do that? Was that the
purpose of it?
Marty Walsh: Well I think there's some other folks here in the audience here that can probably address
that because I know that they are part of that original committee. What I have on record is what the city
has provided and my understanding of it was to provide what they felt was I think kind of more
environmental sensitive approach to boats going out on the lake there but again, you're looking at the 10,
small as it might be there, and anybody from anywhere else again whether it's the other public boat
access or private property can access Little Minne with a large boat. There's nothing that prevents a
larger boat from accessing Little Minne from another direction.
McDonald: Well I guess the thing I'm trying to get at is, that with the no wake rule, does that in effect
nullify a horsepower as long as you stay with no wake then what difference does it make?
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Marty Walsh: That's essentially what our belief is, is that that is a much more restrictive control because
you could have somebody that has a 10 horsepower motor and be you know a little bit ruthless in how
they're operating their watercraft, so the restriction of the no wake zone I think takes care of that issue.
You could have a very small boat, essentially buzzing the shoreline within whatever, a few feet of the
shore and causing much more environmental damage as to somebody that's essentially putt putting out
until they get to the main body of water.
McDonald: And then kind of a follow-up on that. One of the things that I read in here is that, it may
require dredging of the, what the inlet. What's the purpose of that? Is that to accommodate the higher
horsepower boats or is that just, it will have to be done anyway because of cycles? As I read in here that
there are times when that channel kind of dries up anyway.
Marty Walsh: Yeah, dredging is an issue. I don't know that we would plan for 50 or 100 year lack of
water events, or drought events. That's something that I don't know that we would plan for that. The last
time it was this low I think was around 35 and you may not want watercraft on that body of water when
conditions are like that so I don't know that we'd want to plan for the 50 or 100 year event. Certainly it'd
be a lot of infrastructure for something that would only get used you know periodically or sporadically at
best.
McDonald: Okay. And if it did come down to dredging, is that something that at that point is part of a
license? You'll have to go back to the DNR?
Marty Walsh: That would have your permit activity and my understanding of that is, it begins with at
least a conversation with the DNR but ultimately ends up over the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
If it is an operation that's going to go forward, then I think the City of Chanhassen is ultimately needs to
be a part of that particular operation.
McDonald: Okay. That's all the questions I have.
Sacchet. Okay. Any other questions? Go ahead.
Slagle: I was going to wait but I will ask it now. If I can ask, on the boat launches, the two I believe that
are public, is there signage that states the no wake zone?
Marty Walsh: Within the Little Minne area, yes there is signage there but it's avoid area that says no
wake zone. That carries it all the way out to the main body of water.
Slagle: Okay. Okay. That's it.
Larson: I have one.
Sacchet: Debra, go ahead.
Larson: Brief question. Currently there's two launches, and I was reading that eventually the other one
they would like to close that and so then the Little Minne Bay would be the only one. Is that going to
cause more boats, obviously it will cause more boats to use the other one. Would they typically use the
Little Minne Bay one anyhow because of wind and other things that can adversely affect?
Marty Walsh: You bring up a very good point, and the master plan is really kind of a different topic but
we can go down this road here. Here back in 2000 it started with a master plan update for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park, and just a little bit how that works is Carver County is an implementing
4
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
agency of the regional park system. Minnewashta if you will is like a state park within the metropolitan
area. We receive funding from the Metropolitan Council for ongoing operations and maintenance and
acquisition and development funds, and the County's role in that is to plan the park area. Here in 2000
we went through that plan and updated the master plan. There was a number of changes that were
brought about for a public process. A number of public meetings. A number of either letters or agency
meetings with the DNR, City of Chanhassen, Metropolitan Council and so forth. Ultimately that plan to
the Metropolitan Council was approved. As part of that plan there is a boat access that would combine
the two facilities maintaining the existing 35 stalls that have been approved as a part of the original CUP.
And a reason why that was looked at is because it is kind of a duplication of facilities and in our master
plan, one of the ways in which we can control or have better monitoring of that new boat launch facility is
to provide a visitor center. Visitor contact station which would overlook that particular facility and
provides us with greater control, whereas right now the problem is once you get past the gate house, we
can't, we don't have that control. There were a number of factors and a great deal of debate about the
merits of combining the boat accesses if you will. One was a duplication of facilities. Why do we have
two? One was why are we bringing all this traffic further into the park? If you don't need to bring all
that traffic into the park, why do that? Another aspect was with regards to the depth of water and the
access at # 1. The one that's currently 10 horsepower is deeper. Boats will more frequently use that,
particularly during times of low water conditions. The other access, and I have an aerial photo here if
you'd like. You can pull that up and you'll see the very nature of that and how shallow that is. The other
problem with access #2 is that although we'd like to have a different design there, the access actually
angles out ahnost parallel to the shoreline, so any sort of expansion or dredging in that kind of way is a
more extensive project. It doesn't really go out at an 90° angle to the shoreline if you will. There is cat
tails and so forth on the one side and then again it's very shallow on that edge of the shoreline. So in
terms of where do we provide boat access into the future, those were a number of things that were
discussed. How do we again minimize some of our infrastructure if you will in terms of boat accesses,
and then ultimately that site is converted to a different use which we have a demand for which is new
camping.
Larson: Okay, thank you.
Sacchet: Any questions? A few questions. Right now is this actually posted to 10 horsepower?
Marty Walsh: Yes it is. There's a sign at the entrance to the boating facility.
Sacchet: That goes to show how close I look at it. Now you say it can't really be enforced. You haven't
really done anything to enforce it much. I mean it's not draining your resources is it.
Marty Walsh: With regards to enforcement, the sheriff's department comes to the park on a periodic
basis to go through there and that's our enforcement control. We don't have park rangers. And when a
boat is off the trailer it's pretty difficult for the enforcement officer to determine what the horsepower is,
so you literally have to catch them either going in, or coming out to see what the horsepower is for the
boat. Now you can make some assumptions on a trailer that has 2 wheels or tandem wheels, that it's
bigger than 10 horse. But in terms of all practicality, in terms of what we get for law enforcement, their
time is better spent, and this is from a, what I think is public perspective, looking at what's going on in
terms of surface water use where you have folks that are not obeying what they should be in terms of
surface water. Speed. Recklessness. Those sorts of things and other activities that are within the park
rather than monitoring essentially the 10 horsepower limit while there's a no wake zone in place.
Sacchet: So what do you envision can be done to monitor and enforce the no wake? I mean that's out on
the water. If the sheriff drives in the parking lot, he never even sees it.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Marty Walsh: Right. What continues to be, and we do have is lake patrol. And I would encourage, and
we still work very closely with the sheriffs department to continue to monitor the lake use. We've had I
would say reasonable service from them regarding lake activity so if there's been infringements, I know
that they've been called and dispatched to the park in a hurry and they come flying through our gate and
they're out in the water in a matter of minutes.
Sacchet: Because you see what I'm struggling with is on one hand, I understand it's not really
enforceable. It's more environmental than substantial, but on the other hand it is a gesture that helps
protect that sensitive place. So, and obviously if I'm understanding correctly the rights of a boater, he can
go anywhere on the surface so if they go in on the other side with the biggest boat, they can still go
through Minne Bay. But to force them, that they have to go through there eventually, but that's not the
topic tonight with the boat launch, but the restriction is like a discouraging element, which seems to be in
line with the sensitivity of the Minne Bay. So I'm putting it in that context more than what's not
enforceable. Why we've never really enforced it much but it still, it's a deterrent that is in line with the
sensitivity of the natural environment there. Can you respond to that that type of view a little bit?
Marty Walsh: You know again I would say that what the DNR has commented in terms of the no wake
zone provides that protection.
Sacchet: Okay. Yeah, okay. That's a good enough answer. Anything else you want to add?
Marty Walsh: Again if there's a need for more comments or questions.
Sacchet: We'll be certainly, welcome you up if you have more questions. Thank you. Now this is a
public hearing. I'd like to invite anybody who would like to address this item to come forward. If you
state your name and address for the record and let us know what you have to say to this item in front of
US.
Arne Hed: Hi Rich. My name is Arne Hed. I live at 3860 Lone Cedar Lane on Lake Minnewashta. And
I've been a resident there 45 years and I was one of the, I was the Chairman of the lake study commission
at the time that this double access was developed. Access was developed and it was one of the high
points of my service to the community. We were able to be a win/win/win with, I talked to Mike Markel.
I said you won't believe where I'm going tonight. Mike Markel was the DNR man and we were able to
satisfy the residents of the lake that we didn't have to have, take the money to buy a new access. If you
recall Leach's Resort was closed. It was a vacated alley. We found out that Hennepin County gave the
money to Carver County to establish a park, a regional park. So we were using Hennepin County funds
to build the roads and the lake access. And there's two accesses. One was for the people that are more,
do I dare say sensitive. Idealistic. Have a love for the nature and environment. We were going to protect
the spawning grounds for the bass and pan fish in Little Minnewashta. That was a goal and objective.
We would have canoes, sailboats, kayaks and so forth that could be unloaded there. The speed boats
would go to another place apart from Little Minnewashta, which has worked beautifully and at the time I
was commissioner, head of the commission I got calls from Lotus, Lake Ann, Lake Susan, Lake Riley.
People take their lakes seriously around here. In fact you take a look at Lake Minnewashta and if you're
familiar with Dakota Indian language, that means clean water and we damn better believe that we're
going to keep that lake clean. I mean that is important to us. We paid a big price to live there. People
are paying a bigger price today, but my wife says it's time we get out. The red squirrels are taking over.
And they have 200 horsepower motors. We had our grandchildren over and my wife immediately called
the Carver County shore patrol to get out and they did ticket our neighbors going 60, 70, 80 miles an hour
around Red Cedar Point. They were ticketed and they will be ticketed again but we should consider
having 10 miles per hour in 100 feet from the shoreline. At least 100 feet. The lake is very, the
topography is so up and down. It's 130 feet deep just north of Red Cedar Point. 65 feet deep in

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Minnewashta Bay. Now as a matter of history, Lake Minnewashta was 3 lakes in the 1930's and for
some of the produce farmers around Chanhassen, it was a life saver because Red Cedar Point went all the
way across to Camp Tanadoona. There was the big lake, little Minnewashta and Washta Bay. Those
were 3 different lakes and you could launch in any one of those 3 lakes. Later on there were 3 resorts on
the lake, as you probably would know from your history. And again I repeat that it's clean water in
Dakota language. It's clean water is what Minnewashta means. Minnetonka means big water. And of
course you know what Chanhassen means. Sugar maple. And so we're an environmental city and I'm
not, I didn't major in environmental science but my daughter Sonja did and got the largest scholarship
ever given out of the Chaska High School for Environmental Science. Went to Lawrence University. In
fact I would have liked to have her here tonight. She would fight for this community, as most people do.
I was doing a project for Excelsior Chamber of Commerce. I said, where the regional park is now. I said
that belongs to Excelsior as a trading area. I said if that's built correctly with a good developer, you'd
probably have 2,000 to 3,000 people living in that area. To a person they all said, with every generation
they said this is Excelsior. You're not going to force all these people into our community. They said we
can live without that extra business. This was their Chamber of Commerce. And we've got to have the
same loyalty to our community in Chanhassen as they have to the Excelsior and Lake Minnetonka area.
And if you want to rattle some questions at me, I'll shoot back at you. And I also spent 30 years as a
consultant...
Sacchet: What, let's try to focus exactly in terms of the issue in front of us. Is this horsepower restriction
with the access to Minne Bay. That's really the issue right now.
Ame Hed: My position on that is that, like they've got snowmobiles and for some people they're a real
headache. You've got these Skidoo's. Seadoo's. If you control the horsepower, you control the size of
the motor. I mean the, I'm sorry. Control the speed if you take the major part of Washta Bay and the big
lake and you say the speed limit is 45 miles per hour, then who needs a 200 horsepower motor? Merz
over at Minnewashta Heights came to me when I was Chairman. He said that he was a lake property
owner. He paid bigger taxes than anybody else. He should be allowed to have any motor of any size as
he wants. He says you can control the size of the motors for the people coming in to the park, but not me.
He says I've got a cigar boat and I want to go. I said, 200 horsepower you've got on that speed boat, I
said you can go from Highway 7 to Highway 5 in less than 2 minutes. I mean it's insane. I should add
this. Merz's brother, they're the Merz Construction Company. They're in our neighborhood and he took
it upon himself to go out and put in a waterski course, right out in front of our picture windows and I said
what is that? What are all those buoys doing out there? He said that's a waterski course. So I was right
down here and I said, waterskiing is fine. Our whole family waterskis and I'd encourage anyone that
wants to waterski, go ahead and waterski. It's not that popular a sport anymore, but at that time it was
and I said, if we have a 40' of July celebration in Chanhassen, you get a 72 hour permit. I'm not against
that. You get a 72 hour permit and put in your course and take it out again. That's the last we saw of the
course.
Sacchet: So do I take it that you are in favor of restricting speed limits?
Ame Hed: Oh yes. And that is within the law. I talked to Mike Markel who is the DNR man and we had
a long conversation this afternoon.
Sacchet: And in terms of Minne Bay and that particular issue in front of us, does that translate that you
would see a purpose in restriction of the motor size or not?
Arne Hed: Well if you restrict the motor size, then if you're going to reduce the speed essentially.
Sacchet: So you see it hand in hand.
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting - February 1, 2005
Arne Hed: Yeah, they go hand in hand.
Sacchet: Excellent. Well appreciate all your feedback and context. It's wonderful to get the insight into
the history and I want to thank you for that.
McDonald: Mr. Chairman?
Sacchet: Do you have a question for him? Yes, go ahead Jerry.
McDonald: Can I ask you a question? Okay, I understand a correlation between horsepower and speed,
but what's the correlation between horsepower and no wake zone? Doesn't the same effect happen?
Arne Hed: No, you've got a speed limit in the no wake zone. Currently it's for snowmobiles as I
understand is 10 miles per hour. In lakes in the Carver County it's 45 miles per hour on the big part of
the lake. If there is no wake zone, but if you're within a certain distance to the property owner's
shoreline, you cannot go more than 10 miles an hour. And I'll say that our neighbors, and their kids,
they're teenagers. And I might say that you can relay it to the Carver County Police that they can raid
that house any time they want to and they'll probably find drugs. They've egged our house. I mean
they're in detention half the time and they're in alternative schools and when they came in and our grand
children were diving off our raft, they came in at 60 miles an hour into their dock. I mean they, reckless.
They did get tickets because we can get very irate as a family if we see the abuse. Rich will go along with
that.
McDonald: It sounds as though the current systems that are in place work.
Ame Hed: Yes, if you compare it to snowmobiling. The high power boats in the summer; beautiful day
and a few drinks or drugs and you've got people that are out of control. And if the water patrol, and Rich
Slagle's buddy from college ran the resort on Lake Minnewashta for several years. Our son Allen and in
fact they're going to have a bass contest out on Rice's Resort on Lake Minnewashta because it's known
as a good bass lake, as is Waconia. And if they're interested in having a bass fishing contest and you lose
that ... I guess you can't do it at this particular time but at that time they could. There's some giant bass in
that lake.
McDonald: Okay, well where I'm still confused is, are you in favor of if we go with the no wake zone.
Allow larger horsepower motors to go on Little Minne Bay, does that accomplish what is in place or are
you not in favor of increasing the horsepower?
Arne Hed: Personally I'm not in favor of increasing the horsepower. I can get along nicely with 65-85
horsepower. There's no big problem there. But the 200 horsepower, 300 horsepower, cigar boats. And if
you take a look, and I was talking to Mike Markel with the DNR this afternoon. He said that the DNR's
got reconstruction jobs on Minnetonka boat launches because they're coming in with their semi's and
they're backing in with their yachts on top of these semi's. And the tonnage, it just breaks down the
access. And we don't want that. There's a certain element that loves the lifestyle of Lake Minnetonka.
There's another lifestyle that's Minnewashta and it's a rather placid, peaceful.
McDonald: Okay, well then what your concern is, is someone bringing in these larger boats which is a
weight problem coming in and tearing up the.
Arne Hed: Oh no, it's the environment. Again Minnewashta means clean water. If you break up the
bottom of the lake with the big motors and you're racing and they're doing all of the tricks that they're
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
doing on the lake with big motors, you're going to lose that water. In fact the Minneapolis paper had the
Minnewashta as one of the most fishable lakes in the Twin Cities area, and it's the cleanest lake,
according to the DNR between the Iowa border and Grand Rapids. I always thought it was Christmas
Lake, but this particular article in the Sports section said Minnewashta was the cleanest lake, and if we
don't keep it clean, if we don't, if we let go of the barriers that we put in place, it's going to get worst.
You find when the ice goes out in the spring there will be the beer bottles and whiskey bottles and broken
glass and so forth coming in. We've done it for 44 years, cleaning the beach and so forth and picking this
stuff up. People that have abused, not only fish houses and snowmobiles. They're as guilty too. There's
bad people in all these areas.
Sacchet: Well appreciate all your input. Thank you very much for speaking up. Yes, next. Want to give
us your name and address for the record please.
Yeah.
Sacchet: And you can move the microphone in front of you. There you go.
Hud Hollenback: I live in Minnewashta Heights. I'm going to ramble for just a couple minutes and then
if you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Our family moved up here in 1971 from Texas
and we were fortunate enough to land, end up in Minnewashta Heights. And of course we all fell in love
with the lake. It was a little different in those days but I bought an 8 foot boat with a 6 horsepower motor,
and I lived on the lake. I think I probably know the lake better than anybody here. For years I lived on
the lake. Days. Nights. Whenever. I knew most bass by name. I knew where they lived. Caught the
same ones over and over and over again. One day I think, I forget just when it was. Like '74-75.
Clifford French came over and spoke to the Chan council I guess, and anyway I was there. And he had
heard that the Ches Mar Farm was going to go up for sale. And he was making a pitch to Chan that this
has to be a park. He said, Hennepin County would like to make a park. We are ready to buy the land and
make a park. Well that scared the daylights out of me. I went back and we talked in the neighborhood.
Nobody wanted a park. Nobody. In fact I applied, and ended up sitting on the commission in order to
fight the park. The more I studied and the more meetings we had, which were tremendous number. All
the time. We were meeting in meetings, when I wasn't fishing I was meeting. I began to feel heck,
maybe this would be a park. It'd be a lot better than looking across the lake and seeing townhouses and
the shoreline completely changed. So it wasn't too long before I was promoting a park. But we, when we
started talking as a commission, we got to negotiate with these folks. We didn't want this. This would be
okay. We didn't want that. This would be alright. Little Minne was a big part of the discussion because
it is pristine. It is unique. Not another body of water, anything like it around here. So we were very hard
on what we were going to allow in Little Minne. My mouth is drying up. That's why there were no
motors, nothing but canoes, kayaks, whatever allowed. And everybody was happy. Then in, I think it
was what, '84. Whenever. It was decided to put motors in there and to put the boats at the other dock.
Landing. So it's evolving. All I want to say is there's no way that we should allow bigger motors in
Little Minne. What we should do is eliminate all boats landing in Little Minne. Move them over to
where the rest of them are. Then there won't be any problem in policing. There won't be any problem in
tearing up the water. It would solve all the problems of you know having two places. It would just solve
the problems. It'd probably return to the same state it used to be. So that's where I'm coming from. Any
questions?
Sacchet: Thank you very much? Do we have questions? I think you expressed yourself very clearly.
Larson: Actually I do. When I was reading the report, towards the end of the report they mentioned that
boats are designed quite differently now than they were when the original plan allowed to have motor
boats put in there and that they're made much more environmentally sensitive or, they don't seem to tear

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
up the lakes as badly as maybe some of the older style boats, based on how the bottoms are made. How
the engines are designed. And so would you still have an issue with this if in fact, you know even though
the boat motor sizes are going to be bigger, or allowed larger, the impact of these newer boats isn't going
to be like it was with some of the older style boats.
Hud Hollenback: Well that's quite possible. I just see if we close number 2 and move everything
eventually, I know it's a ... discussion now but move everything over to Little Minne, to land in, to launch
and land 35 boats at a time, and that given space. It doesn't matter how the boats are made or the motor's
made. It's, there's not going to be a place to even stack them. I mean it's, I can imagine at the end of the
day 10 or 15 boats waiting to be pulled out in Little Mime. We're going to be side by side. It's just, it's
not practical. And it would just destroy the nicest part of the lake.
Sacchet: Thank you for making such a clear statement.
Hud Hollenback: Alright.
Sacchet: Yes, anybody else want to come forward? This is your tum. State your name and address for
the record and let us know what you have to say.
Gary Peterson: Gary Peterson up on Hickory Road on 36, on top of the hill on Red Cedar Point. And I
guess our place has been in the family since 1922 so I guess I ... but basically this is really the only place
left on the lake where people can put in things like pontoon boats, things like that because it's the only
access to the lake that has reasonable backing capacity. You mentioned the thing that the other landing is
totally not perpendicular to the shoreline. I attempted to put in a couple boats there. Last year could not
even get them in there, and I'm not talking huge boats like discussed. Actually the boats today by the
way that you're talking about that these people are putting in today are in the ballpark of 345 to 455
horsepower. They're not 200 horsepower motors anymore. That does not affect the fact that this is really
the only place that exists on the lake where people that live on the lake can put in their boats. We're not
talking about putting in 35 boats at a time. We don't show up there on a Sunday afternoon to put this boat
in or a Sunday morning. We sneak in there on a Tuesday afternoon when nobody else is there, just
because we don't like to stand in line or sit in line with all those types of things that go along, but the
horsepower does not really any affect to what we've got there. It's just really the only place we can go to
drop a boat down, back it in. My pontoon boat, I'm not trying to put a wake out behind my pontoon boat
but it still has enough power to push that thing through that operations out there. Now the environmental
portion of this thing, this is basically a mud hole back there. Rest of the lake is pretty much sand bottom,
and this is very soft shore. We're talking about just basically, you know when I was a kid, we didn't, we
did not fish crappies back there because you couldn't eat them. They were too muddy. They tasted too
bad. So that's the kind of environment we're dealing with. When boats do come through there, they
move the... around but at the time when the boat, park was actually open, it was all full of seaweed and
things like that and a lot of lily pads. They're no longer there today just because of any boat that's going
through there has wiped those out. I think that taking a no wake zone is really the way to operate that
thing so people can use the thing for the lake and you know, we're talking, we're not talking even 10
miles an hour. I'd guess probably with the no wake zone, coming out of there well below 5 miles an
hour. Something like that. If you're going to go 10 miles an hour, you're going to get at wake. 10
horsepower motor can put a wake up depending on the boat that you're talking about. The fact that
people get out, away from the shore. Go down the middle of the operation. It's a very cahn area. And
there's still lots of lily pads when you go out and head out into the back end of the thing but you know, I
really don't say that I think that horsepower's really the issue. I think the horsepower thing's got to go I
mean. Most the people on the lake have no way to get their boats out if they you know follow by that law
that sat there. It was the only place you could even get in there with a pontoon boat trailer at the end of
the year.

Keefe: Is it your opinion that people follow the no wake zone when they're back in there? Yeah. And
you as a resident.
Gary Peterson: I've been going in there since 1965. Probably something like that.
Keefe: As a resident of the lake, do you ever go back into Minne Bay when you're just out boating? And
let me follow-up with that saying, do you have a larger motor than 10 horsepower and do you drive back
in it, to Minne Bay? Occasionally.
Gary Peterson: Yeah, I don't think, I don't have a motor less, that's that small.
Keefe: Yeah, so I mean if somebody answers yeah. You've driven back in there and so you're one of the
people who drive back in there as well and.
Gary Peterson: And I mean even a jet ski today is in the ballpark of 130-40 horsepower. You know, our
pontoon boat is 35 horsepower. And we go back there and fish for sunfish typically. I don't think there's
a lot of bass fishing back there today. I mean you can catch 10 bass off our dock. I don't know why
you'd go out across the lake to go look for 10 bass over there.
Sacchet: Ahight. Thank you very much. Anybody else wants to address this item? Please come
forward. State your name and address and let us know where you stand with this.
James Johnson: My name is James Johnson. I live on Minnewashta Bay actually. I can see the dock
from my deck when I'm outside. I would strongly oppose lifting the boat motor restriction to over 10
horsepower because I do see people not abide by the wake zone. No wake zone. And I do see people
launch boats from there that are much larger than 10 horsepower. So my fear of restricting or lifting the
ban would mean that there are more people coming into that area with larger motors and not abiding by
the 10 miles per hour, or the no wake zone. So I would certainly oppose lifting the ban.
Sacchet: Okay. Thank you for expressing yourself. Anybody else wants to address this item This is
your tum. Please state your name and address.
Dean Barta: My name is Dean Barta. I live at 3837 Red Cedar Point Road. I also live on Lake
Minnewashta and I don't know, I've got a couple questions and then a comment. I know 2-3, maybe it
was 34 years ago there was some discussion about dropping that restriction, and I'm sorry I'm late so
maybe I missed that discussion but at that time the discussion was to get rid of the 10 horsepower
restriction but in kind of a trade for that they were going to put a 10 horsepower restriction or close the
other ramp that's on the big lake. That was part of the discussion. And when I saw this come up, that
they were looking at or there was discussion again of the 10 horsepower restriction, there was no
discussion of the other ramp. Having a power boat or a speed boat, a ski boat on Lake Minnewashta, I
understand there's a lot of people that don't like to use the rump that's on the main part of the lake
because it's very shallow and I've talked to a lot of people that live there, I know a lot of guys that live
there and stuff and people that bring their boats in for the day who have ruined props and, it's a very
shallow landing. Right, and I understand that. I think my concern is when I, or the question I have is, has
anybody looked at the impact if we take, if we get rid of the restriction of the back landing, the one that's
in question. How many more larger boats is that going to bring into a lake that's pretty crowded already
on a given summer day? Because now you'd be opening up how many more parking spaces to larger
boats. And what I've noticed on the lake, it's not you know the fishing boats nowadays aren't the 10
horsepower. You know it's the 150 horse, 21 foot Lund's and it's the big wake boats and things like that
and so, you know fundamentally, how much more traffic can you allow on a lake that is pretty over
11

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
crowded already on any given summer day. The other thing is, is that I go back there a lot and I do take
my son back there. We catch a lot of sunfish and bass back in there. It's a beautiful area back in there
and full of lily pads in the spring and in the summer, and I question also the environmental impact or
what's going to happen to, you know there's a lot of nesting birds back there. There's a lot of things that
you start putting big boats up and down that channel and I know most people would abide by the wakes
but just the fact of having a bigger boat throws of a lot bigger wake. Right? That's just a fundamental
something, that happens. So I would just ask that we suggest that we take a look at what's another
alternative. If that other ramp isn't, a lot of people with bigger boats don't like to use that, why don't we
make that a horsepower restricted ramp then. At least start to limit the number of potential parking spots
for larger boats on the lake. So comments, suggestions. That's my opinion.
Sacchet: Thank you very much sir. Who else would like to address this item?
Kurt Papke: Good evening. A little odd to be on this side of the microphone. My name is Kurt Papke
and I live at 1131 Homestead Lane in Chanhassen. And I'm the sitting Chair of the Carver County Park
Commission, as well as being a Planning Commission member, but you have to ignore that for the
moment. I just wanted to comment on a couple things that were touched on tonight but I don't think were
fully explored. One of them's the enforcement of which boats get to go in and use the two different boat
launches. Imagine yourself, you're a 16 year old Chaska High School student who's working for
minimum wage in the gate house and you're counting boats coming in and boats going out, and you're
not too sure how many of which are in which landing and now somebody comes in with a car fidl of kids
and they want to take their kids skiing and now they have to drive down this long gravel road to get to the
boat launch, and you let them in. Okay. So you can see the dilemma. It's not easy for a 16 year old high
school student to do that control situation. They have no visibility at all of the boat launch. They're
dealing with people with a car full of kids who want to go skiing and they're going to go where they will.
Another aspect of that in terms of the enforcement possibilities, you may or may not be aware that a little
over a month ago the Carver County Board voted as a part of their latest budget to cut funding for
lifeguards at Lake Minnewashta Beach. Okay. So we don't even have the funds right now to put
lifeguards on the beach, so to provide additional services for enforcement here would be a bit of a stretch.
Okay. The last point, and this one you have to be careful how you cope with it because you can't always,
you can't make decisions on the basis of consequences. But one of the issues we have here, there's a set
of cascading dependencies that come out of this decision. Okay. If you deny this request we now, we
cannot consolidate the two boat ramps and if we cannot consolidate the two boat ramps, we can now
cannot re -use the space that's currently allocated to boat launch #2 for the, how many Girl Scouts do we
have come and camp every summer? Over 500 kids that we would like to provide as part of the master
plan more space for those 500 kids. So just be aware that you know there's a set of consequences of your
decisions tonight. Now you can't, you're making an environmental decision. You can't make your
decision on the basis solely of well, you know those are the consequences and too bad. But you just
should be aware and conscience of that when you make that decision that there's things, other things will
not happen as a result and I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that. And that's all I had. Any
questions for me?
Keefe: Can you clarify a little bit on the dependency again, or just re -state that. If we are, if we remove
the restriction, then that would allow consolidation. If we leave the restriction in place.
Kurt Papke: You cannot consolidate. You must leave boat launch #2 open then to accommodate the
existing large horsepower boats that are being launched there.
Keefe: Okay.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
Kurt Papke: Okay. And so then you don't have the plan for re -use. Now this was all, there was an entire
master plan that was worked out with public hearings, just like this 2 years ago to approve that master
plan. And we have an interesting dilemma here where the City of Chanhassen and the Planning
Commission is kind of holding that whole master plan hostage as a result of this one decision which, you
know that has to happen. You have to do the right thing for the environment and for the City of
Chanhassen but you just...
Keefe: Let me ask you this. If the restriction is removed, does the County need to come back to the City
to consolidate the ramps?
Marty Walsh: Mr. Chair, members. As a matter of fact they would in terms of a building permit or
construction permit for the park area, we would have to come back for approval on that.
Keefe: But that's just to construct the expansion of the ramp.
Marty Walsh: That's correct. During that process there'd be a number of reviews and contacts here with
the City of Chanhassen along with the DNR with regards to the suitability and so forth of that site for that,
but we've gone through that at least preliminarily at this point with the DNR and again staff people and
other agency folks and again at this point everybody feels with regards to agency staff and the Carver
County Park Commission that this is a workable plan. I would like to just make one comment, and I
know we have some members here that have been in the audience, or have been on the lake for a number
of years. In terms of kind of the greatest threat in terms of change to the lake, I don't believe that is the
park because we are limited to the 35 stalls that we have at this point with a conditional use permit. What
has changed over time is horsepower size, and that will continue to probably change on the lake with a
great deal of frequency with regards to new homeowners either moving in or people upgrading their
present boat for a larger boat. Also there will be still new lots that will be added to this lake. Since the
1974, I hesitate to guess but I know that it's probably closer to 100 or more homes that have been located
on the lake so the biggest change to the lake with regards to the horsepower, I will be just in the nature of
things. People upgrading. Replacing their boats, and a few new lots being constructed on the lake.
Keefe: So conditional use permit limits you to 35 parking stalls between the two, right? And if you were
to consolidate you would still be limited to 35 parking stalls at the single entrance?
Marty Walsh: That's correct.
Audience: And there is 20 acres.
Sacchet. Jerry.
McDonald: I've got a question. Are these the only, is this the only public access on this lake?
Marty Walsh: Yes, it is the only public access.
McDonald: Okay.
Slagle: Just so I'm clear, is there a speed limit on the lake?
Marty Walsh: I would defer that to the City of Chanhassen. To my knowledge, Carver County does not
regulate the surface use of water bodies but I'll defer that question.
Sacchet: Does staff know the answer?

Planning Commission Meeting— February 1, 2005
Lillehaug: It's 50 miles an hour.
Haak: Yes there is. It's actually I believe it's 40 sunrise to sunset. 40 or 45 and I think it's, and I'm
speculating but I know they exist on all city lakes. Probably 15 sunset to sunrise is my guess, and again I
may run over to the code and double check that but.
Sacchet: Go ahead Rich.
Slagle: Weight restrictions. We talked about that. The 100, is it 100 yards? 100 feet?
Marty Walsh: I'll have to look at the exact what it is but I want to say it's 100 to 200 feet and I think the
City of Chanhassen has that ordinance.
Haak: It'd be in the same ordinance.
Slagle: And Lori as you're looking my question is, does that apply around the entire lake?
Haak: Yes.
Slagle: Fairly, is there a sign on the outer entrance, if you were on the lake and wanted to go into Little
Minne, is there a sign that says no horsepower's above 10 allowed in this bay?
Marty Walsh: No, there is no signage of that nature.
Sacchet: That's not possible on the state statute. I think that the water is accessible anywhere by
anybody, isn't that the state?
Marty Walsh: It's public property underneath the water level itself. I don't know that I can address your
question directly but to the fact that it is public property underneath the surface water and it's managed by
the Department of Natural Resources.
Slagle: But let's keep in mind though that there are bodies of water in our city that we limit motors. I
know in our lake cabin up north there's an area of the lake that no go. It's trolling motors or canoes or
what not so what I'm saying is that I don't think that's 100% correct in the sense that you could I believe
make this bay a non -motorized or under 10 limit. I don't know that for sure but I think so. So with all
that said, here's my question to you. Is there another location other than 1 and 2 for the launch because
you're, we've heard that launch 2 is shallow. Gentleman mentioned it's hard to get pontoons but yet we
are picking what I estimate to be probably the most sensitive area of the lake to have the boat launch.
Would there be a third alternative when you go to consolidate that would make more sense than Little
Minne?
Marty Walsh: Again we did look at that sort of an option with regards to when we went through the
master plan. And with the idea that you can do anything. You can put the boat access someplace, but not
without causing more damage than what there is right now. In terms of environmental impacts.
Slagle: Damage on the water or on the land?
Marty Walsh: Both. Most of the area that is encompassed by the park is surrounded by cattail, wetland
type vegetation and for us to disturb another area, which was something that we looked at and the overall
master plan placed a great deal of emphasis, in fact the over riding principle on that was the environment.

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
In fact to the extent that we could, we removed or will remove certain infrastructure pieces from that.
From the park as it continues to develop. So we don't see the park becoming I guess more heavily
developed than what it is.
Slagle: Okay, let me throw this out and I have to be honest with you, during the course of this I've just
been going back and forth but I've been there. I've been on the big lake and personal opinion but I want
you to respond to it is, I think that bay is probably as close to quote unquote, Northern Minnesota feel as
you get and when you go out into the big area where the #2 launch is, I mean that's sort of like big lake.
Lots of boats. And I guess I'm just surprised in the entire peninsula that goes to the north, I mean even
going down towards the public beach where you've got roads, parking lots, buildings, that that would be
the best spot to consolidate two launches. That's all I guess I'm struggling with is I'm not sure of that
but, can you respond to that?
Marty Walsh: Again I would state that we did take a look very closely at the boat launch issue and there
are with anything that we were doing in the park, pros and cons to it but when we, at the end of the day
weighed a safe boat access out of the wind, a deeper water access, the ability for people to access the lake
and launch their watercraft, at the end of the day that balancing act said boat access #1 is where it should
go.
Sacchet: Dan, go ahead.
Keefe: I have one more question. Just in regards to, and this may be a DNR question. I don't know,
maybe ... in regards to any spawning that goes on on that lake. Does that bay support spawning grounds
or do we know or?
Metzer: Daryl Ellison the Area Supervisor for Fisheries, he did also mention which it did not at the end
of the report though he said it's good as bass habitat. That's all he said. It's good bass habitat.
Keefe: He didn't say anything about particularly spawning,
Metzer: Those were his exact words.
Arne Hed: He said that, DNR told me the ... he's the head of Fisheries. We could invite him out to your
next meeting. Mike Markel, who was the DNR man at the time I worked with him, he said that it's really
up to the City and the County to establish the weight and the speed limits and things that would control
population of boat, people's behavior on the lake. That the DNR has dropped out of it. It's no longer
interested in surface waters of any lakes, except out state. Their position there changed.
Sacchet: At fight. The public hearing is still open. Did you want to add anything else at this point?
Marty Walsh: Again I guess again we at the park commission for Carver County has taken a look at this
quite extensively and really feel that this is a non -discriminating policy, the no wake zone does protect the
environment there. And in terms of long term operation for a park area and servicing the customer, we
believe this is...
Sacchet: Thank you. Anybody else want to address this issue before we close the public hearing? Yes, I
still see some hands there.
Dean Barta: Couple thoughts and comments again. First of all, I represent kind of a newly formed,
there's probably 20 or 30 of us now of a Minnewashta Homeowners Lake Association right. A lot of
people, we've gotten together every year and we worked with the DNR and tried to control some of the
15
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
milfoil out on the lake and there's something happening on Lake Minnewashta where the lake is what I'll
call turning a little bit. Right. A lot of the fust generation, second generation people that grew up on the
lake are retiring or selling. A lot of younger people coming on and re -doing homes. And there's a real
movement towards making sure that that lake is as clean and as good 20 years from now as it is today.
Right. And I would suggest that maybe there is some other alternatives here, right. I would agree with
you that the north side of the lake is pristine and that's just a beautiful park that you go through there and
if, one thing that I heard tonight, if there's only going to be 35 parking spots, or the most the boats
coming in is 35 either way, that's a great thing. But maybe we could tap into some of the resources from
the homeowners lake association right and is there a possibility on the, I think it's called lift 1 which is
the lift on the big lake, the shallow lift, right. Can that be dredged? Right. Can we make that just deeper
right in the lift area because it's just, it's just in that small area where people put the boats in and that just
needs to be made a little deeper, right. And then we could completely shut down the second one back in
the pristine area and make that a complete no wake zone or 10 horse, or something because it is a neat
area back in there, right. So I think there is some other opportunities maybe we could all discuss, look at
that could be a win/win here. To make the first boat lift, you know dredge it out, make it deeper.
Something like that. Okay.
Sacchet: Thank you. I saw another hand.
Hud Hollenback: One more thing, I apologize for my voice. I'm taking medication for my back and my
mouth goes dry. I second what he said. I have another problem and maybe I'm just getting to be a hard
head. 1 have a problem with the no wake solving the problem. I don't think it's going to. I'm sorry. I
travel Highway 7 all the time and I put it on cruise at 50 and there's not a car that doesn't pass me. I
mean they can't read 50. They're doing 55 and 60, and this, when I've been on the lakes, people's idea of
no wake varies, so it's not going to be boats slowly crawling through Little Minne. And it won't be
policed, so no wake is not the solution.
Keefe: I've got one question. You know in a previous hearing when we were talking about another issue,
somebody had talked about the history of Lake Minnewashta and that it was, it's actually a much cleaner
lake today than it was even 20 years ago, and I'd like to get your comment in regards to that because one
of the things that I think my understanding of it is, it's actually, it's been actually pretty well managed in
terms of it's clarity.
Hud Hollenback: They've done a heck of a job. They have.
Keefe: Would you agree with that?
Hud Hollenback: I'm just trying to not to have it, what we're looking at though is a clip. I meanwhat
was over here... The park is going to be over here. It's completely different from what we negotiated.
But no, they deserve a lot of credit.
Sacchet: I saw a hand in the back, if you want to still speak up as well.
B.J. Greer: B.J. Greer. I live at 2771 Piper Ridge. I don't live directly on the lake. I live across the
street. I spend a lot of time on Little Minne, kayaking and canoeing and I for one can tell you that the no
wake rules have been breached quite often. One thing that concerns me is closing that second boat launch
and funneling everything back through that kind of pristine area. I agree with some points that were
brought up. Possibly fording a third or fixing that first boat launch. In the past I've also owned a boat
and I've been guilty of putting a over 10 horsepower boat in on that launch. One for being ignorant of the
sign which was pointed out to me by the Carver County Sheriff, but I also at that point would launch my
boat at the other landing and there were times that I had to actually park up by the picnic area up on top of
16
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
the hill because there were so many boats down there so I understand the 16 year old and counting people
coming in and out. That would be pretty difficult and not all of them go to either landing. So I guess I
would just like to go on the record as being against raising that 10 horsepower limit because I'm a little
concerned with funneling more traffic through that area and like I said before, being a canoeist and
kayaker, you do tend to feel the waves coming through when someone is not following the rules and
that's all.
Sacchet: Thank you very much.
Lillehaug: I have a question for you.
Sacchet: Yeah, go ahead Steve.
Lillehaug: I got a ticket by parking out by that area that you said you parked. Did you get a ticket? I did
B.J. Greer: I didn't get a ticket. I did get parking at the first landing. And I had the ticket sitting on my
car and believe me, you can tell if someone's boat trailer is over 10 horsepower just by looking at it. It's
pretty easy and there are quite a few big boats that do in that way, and I understand your point about
getting your pontoon boat in. I don't think it's the owners on the lake that are the ones that concern me as
much as just a lot of additional larger horsepower traffic coming in there and that lake does get fairly busy
sometimes. Nothing to the aspects of Lake Minnetonka, which I've boated on too but, so I don't know.
Any other questions or? Thank you.
Sacchet: Okay, thank you very much. Ahight, last chance. Anybody else wants to address this item.
Seeing nobody, I'm closing the public hearing. Bring it back to commissioner for discussion and
comments. Who wants to start? Rich?
Slagle: I can start. I am, as I mentioned, went back and forth but after some due diligence and thinking
of this I would have to say that I am against raising it. But I throw out the caveat that I don't think, and I
don't want to be critical of the process that went through, that you looked at your alternative sources for a
boat launch, but when I look at, I guess it would be, I don't know if we have a page number but the map
of the park. And if I look at that, I could make a common sense decision that would cut off that bay
because I've been there many times in that bay. It is very, very nice and to think that you would have
potentially 20 boats at 7:00 trying to come in. I have a boat. They'll be turning around. They'll be
backing up. I mean that bay will not be the same bay as it is today. It seems to me that if there's issues
about wind, which I didn't ask you how important the wind was, but I'm going to take that it seems to be
somewhat important, again on a scale of 1 to 10, wind, I don't know if wind is over rules the
environmental impact of that bay. And I would go as far as asking the City to look into how we restrict in
that bay, not just outgoing but going in, because I certainly don't think it makes sense to restrict the boat
horsepower for someone launching but then someone on the lake can go in there with a 40 and claim they
didn't know anything about it. Or 100 or 200, so I'm against it and would just ask that they look for other
alternatives.
Sacchet: Jerry, you want to make a comment? No?
McDonald: No comments.
Sacchet: Dan?
Keefe: Yeah, where I come down on this and I'm somewhat torn but I think I'm leaning towards
approval of this and really for the following reasons. You know if 95% of the traffic, and I'm not sure if
17
0 0
Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
that's a right statement or not but a good chunk of the traffic, boat traffic in that bay comes from off the
lake, then the 10 horsepower isn't really going to regulate that piece of it. The no wake would regulate
that piece of it. And the quality of the lake, the Lake Minnewashta, at least with my understand is really
been maintained at a very high level. Actually an improving level over at least a certain period of time.
I'm not exactly sure what that period of time is, and I think that the people involved in managing that lake
have done a good job and I think the, a lot of the residents have spoken to that and I'm not sure that it is
their intention in terms of moving these to, consolidating these two boat ramps to actually deteriorate the
quality of the lake. I think they've taken that into consideration in regards to the recommendation.
Additionally we're talking about 35 spaces of which a portion right now are split to one ramp or the other.
You're going to consolidate those into one incrementally in terms of the number of additional boats going
through that. There's going to be an increase. I'm not convinced that a good portion of those won't pay
attention to the no wake. I think they probably will. I actually think the number of boats going through
there is going to be fairly minimal that are going to violate that. Violate that 10 horsepower given the fact
that there's only 35 spaces for 35 boats available in the park so I think I'm leaning for this one.
Larson: I don't think I have any comments.
Sacchet: No comments Debra. Steve.
Lillehaug: Well, I think we need to keep two things separate here. Consolidating and re -arranging is not
the issue. I mean I know they're related but it's not the issue with this application. Speed limit on the
lake is not the issue with this application period. It's not. And a few points that I want to make, it doesn't
matter if you swap the restriction from access 1 to 2 because they're going to be consolidated so other
suggestions to swap it in my mind, that's not a solution because we're looking at consolidating. At this
point it's my opinion that lifting the ban won't increase and intensify the use of the bay. I use Lake
Minnewashta quite a bit and I didn't even realize, and I'm pretty cognizant of the rules of the lakes, and
for one I didn't know there was a speed limit that was something less than 50 miles an hour, so if it is, I
would really ask staff to work with the County and make that better known because I didn't know it and I
use that lake all the time. Number two, my boat doesn't do any more damage to that bay than a 10
horsepower boat does, and I have a 200 horsepower engine and I put a lot of merit that that new motor
doesn't do any more damage. Access 2, as has been indicated, is very non-functional. And then I would
also add that because of it's being non-functional, that the boats coming in and out of there actually create
quite a bit of damage in itself and it hurts the environment alone right there. Does it compare to the
damage or increase damage if we have 35 more boats or 25 more in Minne Bay? I don't have a good
judge of that but there is damage being done at access 2 because of it's non-functioning. Issues are in the
lake with speeds like you indicated, I don't think, there might be a disobedience of the no wake zone in
Minne Bay but again, I don't think the horsepower is the issue there. And the last thing is, my opinion is
the no wake zone is the answer and it's not the horsepower restriction so I do support this. Do I support
the modifications like have been suggested? I don't know. I haven't seen a plan. I've heard it proposed
but at this time considering lifting the 10 horsepower, I support that.
Sacchet: Well my comment I probably can summarize in two words. I'm a kayaker. Do I need to say
more?
Larson: So am I and I think it's fun on waves.
Sacchet: And it's my prime kayaking place. Mime Bay because I live very close to Minne Bay. I
absolutely love that place. It's a very pristine place. If it would be up to me I would push for no motors
in Minne Bay. So coming from that vantage point I have a very hard time lifting any restriction in this
area, whether it's connected to any other issues or not. I don't have a problem with the waves, as you say
it can be fun. But I do have an issue with the impact it has on the environment, even now with the 10
I"

Planning Commission Meeting — February 1, 2005
parking spots for boats, there are times where there are 3, 4, 5 boats stacking up and to envision that that's
going to be multiplying, I mean as a kayaker I have an issue when there are 2, 3, 4 boats stacking up. So
without considering the potential where this is going to go with the comprehensive plan, and yes I did
attend your, some of your presentations. The one at Bluff Creek I think it was, and did express my views
as a kayaker there as well. I don't know whether you might remember. I certainly do, so being a kayaker
and an environmentalist I oppose really lifting any restriction that has a further impact on the
environment. And I do question these 4 findings in the staff report where it says it will not be detrimental
or damage the safety, comfortable, general welfare of the neighborhood which is 4(a) of the findings.
4(d) of the findings, will not be hazardous or disturbing to the existing of planned neighborhood uses. I
think it's very disturbing to a kayaker. Finding (i). Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of
natural, scenic or historic features of any significance. I think it does impact it. I mean once you're going
to have multiple power boats stacking up, or in this case what's in front of us, boats with more motors, it
will be aesthetically compatible which is Finding 0). I don't think it's aesthetically compatible with the
pristine nature of that particular bay to have bigger motors. To have more motors. That's just my humble
opinion as a kayaker. And I'm actually surprised how much support I'm getting here tonight so I want to
thank you for that. That's my comment. It was longer than I expected. So with that I'm willing to take a
motion.
Lillehaug: I make a motion the Planning Commission recommends approval of the amendment to
Conditional Use Permit #75-2, Section 6.04, Lake Access based on the Findings of Fact with the
following condition, number 1.
Sacchet: We have that motion. Second?
McDonald: Second.
Sacchet: We have a motion. We have a second.
Lillehaug moved, McDonald seconded that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the
amendment to Conditional Use Permit #752, Section 6.04, Lake Access based on the Findings of
Fact with the following condition:
Carver County Parks shall contact the Department of Natural Resources before proceeding with
drudging of Little Minne Bay channel.
All voted in favor, except Sacchet and Slagle who opposed, and the motion carried with a vote of 4
to 2. (Kurt Papke did not vote due to a conflict of interest.)
Sacchet: We have 2 nays and 4 yea's. Is that correct? Alright, motion carries. Goes to City Council on
February 280'1 believe.
Metzer: It's the 28h.
Sacchet: The 28'". That's accurate, okay. Thank you very much.

Hi Lori,
Daryl called and said that the bay provides good bass habitat. He also pointed out
that there are lots of water lilies and other quality emergent and submergent vegetation
in this bay that should be protected with a "no -wake" zone restriction.

PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE AMENDMENT
ELIMINATING THE 10 -HORSEPOWER RESTRICTION FOR BOAT ACCESS #1
AT LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK
Carver County Parks requests the City of Chanhassen amend the conditional use permit with the County for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park. The request is to drop the 10 -horsepower motor restriction at Boat Access #1 located in
the park. The County will continue to sign Boat Access #1 and the area known as Little Mini as a no wake zone.
The County requests the amendment for the following reasons:
• The existing no wake zone eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction and is more sensitive to erosion
concerns caused by any boat.
• Few boat motors are less than 10 horsepower.
• The restriction is not observed by the public.
• The restriction can not reasonably be enforced or managed.
• It is not cost effective to enforce the restriction.
• Boats of varying sizes use boat access #1 during periods of low lake elevation due to the greater water
depth at this access.
All questions and concerns should be directed to Carver County Parks, Martin Walsh at 952-466-5252.

Report Of The
Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
June 1983'
Members: Arnie Hed - Chair
Clark Horn
John Neveaux
Tom Merz
Pat Murphy
Established: by City Council — August 1982
Charge: To study public access alternatives for Lake Minnewashta
Background:.
1. City/County Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park has 15 horsepower limit.
2. City's informal access adjacent to Leach's Resort is
unrestricted.
3-. Private access. (Leach's) is unrestricted.
4. DNR does not recognize any of these 3 accesses as meeting
their definition. Therefore, no fish management programs.
5. Metro Council would not approve development master plan or
future development funding for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
with the 15 horsepower restriction. Also, affected City's park
grant consideration.
6. County applied for C.U.P. amendment deleting the.15 horsepower
restriction.
7. Park & Recreation Commission recommended, approval.
8. Planning Commission recommended denial.
9. City Council established this committee to study alternatives.
Committee Work:
1. Met with DNR & Metro Council representatives:
a. Neither DNR nor Metro Council will use their funds for
more shoreline when Regional Park has 2 miles.
b. DNR would he amenable to location other .than the par),- if
they did not have to fund land acquisition.

cannot be r -ated from the launching `:_:!a by roadway..
d. Total of 32. to' 3-1 parking spaces must be provided to .meet
DNR -and Metro Councilrequirements. Some of .these spaces
couldbeassigned to the restrictedaccess on Little
Minne.
2. Reviewed potential access areas around lake:
a. Existing city access adjacent to Leach's Resort:
* Developed plan for moving Minnewashta Parkway.
* Not economically viable.
* Residents object to, current use and long term use as
access.
* Apparently unwilling sellers.
b. Leach's Resort:
* Development, potential of land too valuable for long
term use as access.
* Extremely expensive to acquire.
c. Island at south end of lake north of Hwy. 5:
* Safety problems with car/trailer access off and onto
Hwy. 5.
* Marginal in size and may require fill on island.
* Environmentally sensitive around island as spawning_
area.
* Fill required would make turn lanes expensive and
environmentally harmful. Permits for filling would be
difficult to obtain.
* Potentially expensive and difficult to acquire.
d. Existing neighborhood accesses (street extensions) located
in several subdivisions: -
* Extremely disruptive to established neighborhoods.
* Expensive and difficult to provide parking.
e. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (3 potential areas):
* Little Minne is environmentally sensitive and should
not be the principal.public boat entrance to the lake,
iout seri

of picii ? and swimming. Also r at the end of
the entrance road, it hinders the `. tip.-ational
flexibility -of. the park plan.
* The one other remaining area; located in the southern
third of the park, maY detract from one picnic area,
but wouldnot require any extra road work and a
launching and parking area could be reasonably
designed and permits should be easily obtainable.
inclusions:
1. An access meeting DNR requirements is in the long term best
interest of the City
2. Resolving the issue at this time maximizes the City's control
of the solution.
3, The total amount of access spaces currently available to the
lake exceeds the minimum numbers required by DNR and Metro
Council, but is uncoordinated, creates conflicts on the west
side of the lake, and does not meet the definition of public
access used.by those agencies.
Council standards can be obtained
4. Access meeting DNR and Metro
within the boundaries of Lake Minnewasoherelocationaaro around
less impact on the community than any
the lake.
.,ecommendati_ons:
We hereby recommend that the City Council endorse the concept of dual
public accesses located within Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. We
believe this concept provides the best long term solution to providing
reasonable public access to Lake Minnewashta with the least impact to.
the comunity and to the environment; and with minimal impact on the
m
County's plan for the regional park.
We recommend that the following specific proposals be adopted as the
means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat _access with no horsepower restriction -will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access will be limited to a maximum of 20
eloed in
parking spaces. This access should be devarkpem to eeewilllng be
of 1985 at which time a permanent County p P y
resident at the park.
2. 'At such time as the new public access is open, the City should
physically close its access adjacent to Leach's Resort. The
City should make a policy statement that the closing of a
quasi -public access or private access will not constitute a
reason or justification to increase public access parking or

capacity. This statement

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into by and between the City
of Chanhassen, hereinafter referred to as the City, and the Board
of Commissioners of Carver County, hereinafter referred to as the
County;
WITNESSETH, that in the exercise of their powers pursuant to
law, and in consideration of the mutual convenants herein con-
tained, the City and County recite and agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. State Law and City Zoning Ordinance. It is
acknowledged by the parties hereto that under the provisions of
M.S. §398.32, no county parklands or waters may be acquired
within the limits of any city without the approval by resolution
of the governing body of any such city; and it is further
acknowledged that under the provisions of the City zoning ordi-
nance, parks and recreational areas owned and operated by govern-
mental units may be allowed within residential zoning districts
only upon the securing of a conditional use permit from the City.
1.02. County Park Proposal. The County proposes the
acquisition and --development of a regional park to be located on
the northeast shore of Lake Minnewashta, designating said park as
Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (hereinafter referred to as the
"park"), and has made application to the City for approval of
said acquisition and development and the issuance of a con-
ditional use permit.
1.03. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. Except
as hereinafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake
Minnewasbta Regional Park Master Plan - 1982 Updated - as
approved by the County Board of Commissioners on April 13, 1982
forms the basis of this conditional use permit for said County
Regional Park. Said Master Plan and approving County motion are
attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incor-
porated herein by reference.
1.04. General Purpose. The purpose of this agreement is
to setforth the terms and conditions governing the approval by
the City of the parkland acquisition and the grant of the within
conditional use permit which are conditions precedent to land
acquisition by the County for the park.
Section Park Areas C and D.
2.01. Master Plan. Whereas the Citi, t'• and the
Metropolitan Council of the Twin Cities have determined that
removal of areas C and D from the Master Plan of the Lake
Minnewashta Regionr 'ark, hereinafter referr( .o as the "Master
Plan", will not advvLsely affect the purpose u, function of the
park, and whereas the City and the Metropolitan Council of the
Twin Cities have approved a change to the adopted Land Use Plan
from "Parks/Open Space" to "Residential -Low Density", the parties
hereto acknowledge that land area Parcels C and D are removed
from the boundaries of the park as defined in Exhibit "A".
Section 3. Schematic Plan.
3.01. Design Capacities. The design capacities as set -
forth on page 26, table 6 of the Master Plan, and the Lake
Minnewashta Park Use Calculations of the Subcommittee for Master
Planning of the Lake Minnewashta Regional Park, dated May 28,
1975, shall constitute the maximum development allowable in said
proposed park.
Section 4. Development Plans.
4.01. Review and Approval. Detailed development plans
within the proposed park shall be submitted to the City for review
and comment prior to approval by the County. It is not con-
templated that the City shall have approval authority over the
detailed development plans so long as they are consistent in
scope and capacities with the Master Plan, except for appropriate
development standards which may be applied to development
generally within the City. Any development plans not consistent
in scope and capacities with the Master Plan shall require an
amended conditional use permit.
4.02. Development Schedule. The County does not propose
any significant development of the park until funds are available
through the grant program of the Metropolitan Council. Between
1978 and 1982, the development activities at the park are pro-
posed to consist essentially of establishing a land stewardship
program, development of a primitive lake public access facility,
and use of the existing buildings as either a nature center or
museum and park employee residence.
4.03. Land Stewardship Program. The land stewardship
program will consist principally of gradually phasing from culti-
vated land to turf establishment on Parcel E, establishing a tree
nursery, beginning prairie establishment on a portion of Parcel
B, providing necessary access control in terms of gate and
fencing, controlling noxious weeds, and to the extent feasible,
controlling Dutch elm and oak wilt disesase.
Section 5. Advisory Committee.
5.01. Advisory Committee. The park is intended to fill
the regional recreation needs of the Chaska, Chanhassen, and
Victoria area in Carver County (as described in Section 4, Local
and Regional Recreation Needs Analyses of the Master Plan). In
order to provide a means of continuing review during the develop-
ment and operating phases, Carver County shall establish an
Advisory Committee consisting of two representatives from
Chanhassen, one from Chaska, one from Victoria, and one from the
-2-
County Park Commission. The City representation will be
appointed by the respective City Councils on an annual basis.
The Advisory Committee shall review the County's development plan
and make recommendations to the Carver County Park Commission in
regard to such plan. The Advisory Committee shall also moniccr
park operations in a general way, and shall make recommendations
to the County Park Commission in regard to improvements in
operating policies. The Advisory Committee members shall also
keep the City Councils of their respective cities informed of
their general activities. They shall also serve as the conduit
of concerns from their respective City Councils to the County.
Section 6. Governing Ordinance, Policinq, Fire Protection and
Access.
6.01. County Park Ordinance. The Park Ordinance of the
County shall regulate the use of the park. The City and the
Advisory Committee shall recommend any appropriate amendments to

County proposed park ordinance amendments or regulatory resolu-
tions shall be reviewed by the Advisory Committee for its recom-
mendations and comments prior to enactment.
6.02. Policing. Policing of the park shall be the
responsibility of the County through its Sheriff's Department at

parable uses. Except for trunk water and sewer assessments
payable as provided in §8.01 hereof, sewer and water charges will

shall provide, consistent with applicable Metropolitan Council
policies and the grant contract for acquisition of the Lake

Dear Ms. Aanenson,
Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed in the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Minnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15u', 2004.

PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE AMENDMENT
ELIMINATING THE 10 -HORSEPOWER RESTRICTION FOR BOAT ACCESS #1
AT LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK
Carver County Parks requests the City of Chanhassen amend the conditional use permit with the County for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park. The request is to drop the 10 -horsepower motor restriction at Boat Access #1 located in
the park. The County will continue to sign Boat Access #1 and the area known as Little Mini as a no wake zone.
The County requests the amendment for the following reasons:
• The existing no wake zone eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction and is more sensitive to erosion
concerns caused by any boat.
• Few boat motors are less than 10 horsepower.
• The restriction is not observed by the public.
• The restriction can not reasonably be enforced or managed.
• It is not cost effective to enforce the restriction.
• Boats of varying sizes use boat access #1 during periods of low lake elevation due to the greater water
depth at this access.
All questions and concerns should be directed to Carver County Parks, Martin Walsh at 952-466-5252.

CHANHASSEN RECREATION CENTER
2310 COULTER BOULEVARD
PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE AMENDMENT
ELIMINATING THE 10 -HORSEPOWER RESTRICTION FOR BOAT ACCESS #1
AT LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK
Carver County Parks requests the City of Chanhassen amend the conditional use permit with the County for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park. The request is to drop the 10 -horsepower motor restriction at Boat Access #1 located in
the park. The County will continue to sign Boat Access #1 and the area known as Little Mini as a no wake zone.
The County requests the amendment for the following reasons:
• The existing no wake zone eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction and is more sensitive to erosion
concerns caused by any boat.
• Few boat motors are less than 10 horsepower.
• The restriction is not observed by the public.
• The restriction can not reasonably be enforced or managed.
• It is not cost effective to enforce the restriction.
• Boats of varying sizes use boat access #1 during periods of low lake elevation due to the greater water
depth at this access.
All questions and concerns should be directed to Carver County Parks, Martin Walsh at 952-466-5252.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed m the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Minnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use. Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15'h, 2004.

zoning 4 E, , • ll '
Each year the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) receives a number of questions regarding the Chronic wasting disease info
placement of restrictions on lakes and rivers. With over
750,000 boats registered as of 1997, some conflicts can be
expected in the years to come. This information is designed to -
address the most frequently asked questions regarding this PROECT f$
process - called "water surface use management" (WSUM) or IGLIFE P
"water surface use zoning." The goal of surface use bqo 652 9093
management is to enhance the recreational use, safety, and
enjoyment of lakes and rivers and to preserve them as natural
resources of the state.
Outdoor activities
How do we start?
Fishing
All water surface use management starts at the local unit of
government - town, city or county, depending upon where the Hunting
lake or river is located. Any ordinances proposed by the local
unit of government must have a hearing and be approved by the Nature viewing
DNR before they can go into effect. To improve the process,
any local unit of government that is contemplating restrictions OHV riding
should contact the DNR as soon as possible at the address or
phone number listed below for a packet that will assist them in Recreational geology
the completion of the required information before submission
to the Department. The DNR can also provide assistance in Scientific & natural areas
finding technical information as well as in drafting ordinance
language. Shooting ranges
What steps do we follow? s
There are a number of steps to follow when considering surface Snowmobilin
use restrictions - observation, planning, and monitoring the
outcome are important. One of the things to consider is that State forests
there may already be a state law or rule on the books to handle
a specific problem and no additional restrictions may be needed State parks
- you may want to check with the local DNR conservation
officer or county sheriffs department first. If surface use zoning State trails
is the answer, the following should be considered when looking
at any of the options listed below: Water recreation

Initiating local surface use zoning: Minnesota DNR
• accommodating all compatible uses, where feasible.
• minimizing adverse impacts on natural resources.
• minimizing conflicts between users to provide for
maximum use, safety and enjoyment.
. conforming to the standards set in law and rule.
Important factors which influence what type of controls are
selected depend upon: the type of water body (lake or river),
size, depth and shape of a lake, current and future shoreland
development, relationship to other water bodies, environmental
factors, accident and safety data, and recreational use patterns.
After these are considered, there are a number of options
available to address the variables.
Available options
Time zoning
Used in conjunction with other zoning methods to define times,
days of the week or periods during the year when restrictions
are effective.
Choices:
. 24 hours a day
. sunrise to sunset
• 9am to 6pm
. noon to 6pm
• Memorial Weekend through Labor Day Weekend (either
on all days or only on weekends and holidays) or all year.
Directions of travel
Useful for controlling conflict from high speed
activities on a lake, where speed zones may also
be established.
Choices:
• counter -clockwise direction of travel.
xow•,. Motor type and size
Restrictions on boat type and size are
found mostly on smaller lakes, especially
where there has been minimal motorboat
25 hp �""` use on the lake and future development
may be planned. It controls speed by

Area zoning
Also used in
conjunction with other
zoning methods to
identify specific
restrictions a lake or
river. As an example,
speed restrictions may
be in place (near
marinas or in narrow
channels). These areas
are normally marked
with buoys or signs
placed by the local unit
. restrictions placed as needed
. slow/no wake speeds at 100-150 feet from the shore
Other restrictions
Restrictions, such as type and size of watercraft and other
surface uses (swimming, restrictions on motor vehicle use on
the ice, etc.) are also possible. It is also possible to petition the
DNR for a variance from any of the listed standards.
Conclusions
Effective zoning defines objectives clearly, inventories
resources, identifies land uses, appraises political influences,
and requires public participation. A DNR survey of boat
owners found that:
Page 3 of 4
hnp://www.dnr.state.mn.us/regulations/boatwater/surfaccusezoning.htm] 10/18/2004
Initiating local surface use zoning: Minnesota DNR
boaters who request restrictions prefer speed, horsepower
and boat type/size controls
perception of zoning needs vary by location and
watercraft use on the lake or river
boaters in the Metro Area are more likely to ask for
restrictions than those in Greater Minnesota
With adequate knowledge and proper planning, zoning can be a
powerful management tool for providing quality recreation,
reducing conflicts among users, and for reducing and
improving safety.

Status of Land Acquisition and
Implementation of the 1982
Master Plan Update
SECTION II — SETTING / TRENDS / PUBLIC PROCESS FINDINGS
Since the 1982 Master Plan Update, there has been no additional land acquisition for the park. Although the 1982
update indicated that two additional properties on the east side of County Road 41 were scheduled for
acquisition, that did not occur. BY mutual agreement between. the City of Chanhassen, Carver County, and
Metropolitan Council, the October 5, 1984 Amended Conditional Use permit for the park eliminated parcels C
and D from being considered for park property. As of 2002, much of that land has been developed for residential
subdivisions. With no additional land acquisitions actively being considered, the current park boundary line as
illustrated in figure 2.2 is the expected extent of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park property.
LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN 2.3
Conclusions_
It is clear that Lake Minnewashta Regional Park is an
essential component of the regional park system.
LAKE MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK MASTER PLAN
466 1w" a-ati nrv�/ [KtIN JD/ rUISLI(.I-KL)Lt55 FINDINGS
Group -Day Camp / Picnic Activities:
• Individual groups, such as the Boy and Girls Scouts, currently use the park for group activities and camping.
These groups can range in size from less than 100 people to nearly 500. During these visits, most of the park
amenities are used, especially those associated with lake and beach activities.
• These larger groups use the individual picnic areas as well as the large open green space for activities.
There are businesses who are in need of places for company picnics, as well as residents with reunions, etc.
• The new park shelter building is well liked, especially the fact that there are flush toilets located there, but
needs more shade.
• Providing more "family-oriented" picnic areas was thought to be needed to augment the larger shelter
structures which are often reserved during the summer season.
Other Issues:
There are many people who felt that Carver Park, which is close by, provides a lot of paved trails, rentals, and
more highly developed activities and the arboretum provides the garden type of atmosphere. As such,
Minnewashta should remain a natural park to complement the others.
It was felt by many that a better entrance sequence would be beneficial. They would like a friendlier entrance
(currently there is a "warning" sign that you see first). Also, the entrance is hard to identify from County. Road
41.
Place significant emphasis on restoring the natural landscape to the park.
Provide reasonable access to the park for vehicles and pedestrians. Limit vehicle access to one location to
minimize the built infrastructure.
Make trail connections to local and regional trails to expand visitor recreational opportunities.
Create a master plan that is aesthetically appealing as viewed from within and outside the park, as well as from
the lake.
In consideration of the regional trends and findings of the public process, it is clear that Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park is an essential component of the regional park system and will be vital to servicing the recreational
needs of residents within Carver and adjoining Hennepin Counties and the larger region.

Group Camping/Activity Area
(with Adventure Course)
The group camping and activity area is a new facility
proposed for the park under the updated master plan.
The primary development feature within this use area
would be a shelter structure with restrooms and
limited kitchen facilities.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
The group camping and activity area is a new facility proposed for the park under the updated master plan. As
shown in the aerial, this functional use area would be located where the second boat launch currently exists (once
that is combined with the other boat launch as previously defined in this section). From a group -use standpoint,
this location provides a high degree of privacy and site security for activities that range from youth day camps to
overnight group camping and other similar youth and adult group uses that are allowed under Carver County's
park policies. Scheduled group picnics could also be accommodated at this location under a permit system if
demand warrants. Aerial (looking north) illustrating the proposed location for the group campinglactivity area. As
shown, this facility would replace the boat launch, which has been consolidated with the other
As illustrated in figure 5.5 on boat launch as previously defined in this section.
the next page, the primary
development feature within
this use area would be a
shelter structure with
restrooms and limited
kitchen facilities. The shelter
area could be either
enclosed or open air,
depending on the final
architectural program.
The group camping and
outdoor use area consists of
an acre or two of open
maintained turf area within
the trees and in the adjoinin
open area to accommodate
groups of up to 60 people.
This size of an area would
allow for some rotation of
use for turf maintenance
purposes.
Other amenities in this area would be limited and simple in design. This includes drinking fountains (as water
service is available), picnic tables, trash containers, and a group fire ringlsmall outdoor theater with grass or bench
seating. As shown on the Master Plan graphic, a lake overlook is also proposed for this area.
As illustrated in figure 5.5, a controlled entrance drive and parking lot are provided to support the group use
facilities. The parking lot would be sized to accommodate approximately 30 vehicles, with some capacity for
overflow parking on grass or prairie areas. Given the light traffic, the entrance drive is kept to 18 feet in width.
With the more limited use of this area, the parking lot and entrance drive could remain gravel surfaced.

(View of parking area for the existing boat
launch.) This area would be converted to a
parking area and open use area under the
new master plan.
Internal Trail System
The trail system that exists and is planned for within
the park is expected to remain one of the most highly
regarded development features.
With respect to trail access, a
direct connection to the internal
trail system is provided via the
accessroad.
As illustrated on the Master Plan
graphic, an Adventure Course is alsc
proposed in the group camp area.
This facility would support programs
that help build participant's
aptitudes in a variety of outdoor
activities and skills. Although these
facilities will ultimately be designed
to support specific programs,
potential features include a ropes
course and climbing apparatus.
Along with practical layout
considerations, blending these
facilities into the natural
surroundings is also an important
design consideration.
SECTION V - DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN
Consistent with regional recreational trend data, the trail system that exists and is planned for within the park is
expected to remain one of the most highly regarded development features. The natural landscapes, overall setting,
diversity of trail character, and overall trail length add up to a very compelling experience for the trail user. As the
population grows in this region, it is expected that trail use numbers will continue to grow as well. Preserving the
overall quality of the trail experience while accommodating more trail users becomes the overriding challenge.
Fortunately, the land forms of the park coupled with a variety of vegetation types minimizes the extent of visual
overlap between trail segments.
The Master Plan graphic highlights the proposed general alignment of the two trail types proposed for the park,
which include:
• Natural trails — soft -surfaced trails that traverse through the natural areas of the park.
• Multipurpose trails — hard -surfaced trails that connect the major park features together internal to the park and
the park to the local and regional trail system.
The following considers each of these trail types in greater detail.

SECTION VI - IMPLEMENTATION, OPERATIONS, AND MANAGEMENT PLAN
The implementation strategy for the development
program follows more traditional routes.
Irrespective of funding availability, some flexibility in setting priorities and implementation strategies will also be
needed in order for Carver County to react to the real conditions, circumstances, and opportunities that present
themselves. In this light, the greatest utility of the implementation plan is that it provides a framework and starting
point for Carver County to develop funding packages and grant applications to achieve the commonly held vision
defined by the master plan.
Strategy for Implementing the Development Program
The implementation strategy for the development program follows more traditional routes. For the most part,
future capital improvements for development within the park will be funded through grants secured through the
Metropolitan Council.
The following table lists the line items defined in the previous cost estimate table in order of priority relative to
each other. Note that these priorities are not linked to specific implementation timeframes since actual project
phasing will be a function of demand, opportunity, and funding availability. Note also that these priorities are
subject to change in future years.

Summary of 1/21/05 Conversation between DNR Area Hydrologist, Julie Ekman and
Chanhassen Resources Intern, Don Asleson
On January 21, 2005 Chanhassen Staff contacted Ms. Julie Ekman, Area
Hydrologist for the DNR. The call was made to see if Julie had had the opportunity to
review the proposed CUP amendment for Access #1 on Lake Minnewashta. Julie had not
received the referral, but stated that her department had been out of the office the last
three days. I informed her of the proposed amendment and asked her if the DNR had any
concerns about Access #1 as an unrestricted access.
Julie said that the communities in which the lakes are located determine
horsepower limits and that the DNR does not create such limits. She suggested that
Access #1 be regulated via surface water zoning as a no -wake area as a way to limit
potential impacts. Staff stated that no -wake zoning has been established on that area of
the lake. Julie stated that her concerns would be those related to the impact on aquatic
vegetation and increased nutrient loading from lake bottom sediments into water column.
Staff agreed with Julie on her concerns due to the shallow (lake bottom sediment) and
narrow (vegetation) nature of the channel between Access #1 and Minnewashta's main
body of water.
Julie stated that the DNR does not have any regulatory actions that would stop or
limit the CUP amendment. Julie also stated she would review the referral document as
soon as she receives it and comment on whether the DNR has any concerns at all.

SECTION 11- SETTING / TRENDS / PUBLIC PROCESS FINDINGS
Findings from the Public Process
In general, the findings from the public process validated the recreational trends forecasts presented in this section.
The initial public meetings were also fruitful in defining how well the current park functions and how new uses can
best be accommodated. After consideration of a number of conceptual ideas, consensus was gained for the
master plan presented in this report, The following summarizes the key points made during the initial public
meetings as they relate to major development issues.
Level of Development/Natural Resource Protection:
Accommodate the recreational activities that address regional needs az defined by recreational trends and that
are appropriate for this particular setting.
Strong consensus that development footprint should be kept as small as possible in order to preserve natural
open space areas.
Ecological stewardship of the park was considered to be of critical importance.
The park should complement, not duplicate, services provided in other County and local parks.
Trails — General:
Strong consensus that paved trails should be kept to a minimum and used primarily to link major use areas
together and keep bicycles off the main road, which was considered hazardous. Maintaining an extensive
network of natural -surfaced trails received very strong public support.
The current trails are highly used, but generally the users feel uncrowded when using the trails and like the
woodsy/isolated atmosphere.
• General consensus that there should be a safe way for pedestrians to enter the park from the trail that will be
along the east side of hwy. 41. (Grade separated crossing thought to be needed.)
• The "conservation area" of the park (north portion) is highly used in the winter for cross-country skiing and is
highly regarded for its trails. Improving connections was the primary concern.
Limited snowmobile access to the park to a connection between the lake and County Road 41 was strongly
supported.
Walking with pets is a popular activity in the park and most like to keep it "pro -dog", with possibly providing
an off -leash area in an out-of-the-way area where conflicts would be minimal.
Boat Launch and Boating Related:
Providing boat access to the lake was considered a strong continuing need. Although opinion varied on the
most advantageous location for the boat launch, keeping the total number of vehicle -trailer parking spaces to
around the current 35 was highly supported.
Designing the boat launch so that open spaces could be monitored for availability and safety was found to be a
key consideration for boat launch users. Limiting the extent to which vehicles with boat trailers would have to
travel through the park to get to the launch was also a key concern.
Wind exposure and heavy wave action at the second boat launch was of concern to,frequent uses, as was
concern that at lower water levels the ramp was much harder to use than the first launch, which is deeper.

Study Committee
Waibel presented the staff report indicating that approximately
one year ago, the Metropolitan Council and D.N.R. noted opposi-
tion to the horsepower restriction on the Minnewashta Regional
Park access for reasons that it is discriminatory. The City
Council, in recognition that resolution of this matter was
needed, created the Lake Minnewashta Boat Access Study Committee
to research and recommend on how public access to Lake
Minnewashta can be best accommodated. He stated that, as far as
Minnewashta Regional Park is concerned, the recommendations of
the committee are found in the following amendment to the con-
ditional use permit.
�c
n
6.04. Lake Access. A watercraft access to Lake
Minnewashta through the Park has been provided in the area so
designated as boat access on the Detailed Development Plan of the
1982 Park Master Plan Update. Said access is to be limited for
launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or less and have a
capacity for 10 car/trailer spaces. An additional access without
horsepower restrictions having a capacity for 25 car/trailer
spaces shall be developed and located in accordance with the plan
titled "Lake Minnewashta Park 2nd Access" marked Official Copy.
Arnie Hed: I worked with this committee during the past few
months as Chairman. We worked with the D.N.R. and the Metro
Council and they came out and looked at the various options and
facilities. I think we examined every possible alternative on
Minnewashta. It was our objective from the very beginning to
control the density on the lake and also to provide public access
use of the lake but not abuse. In the past, the access has been
next to Leach's Resort, which is actually a vacated street and
was not authorized by the D.N.R. so the D.N.R. did not take care
of the lake in the past 12-15 years. The use, as you are probably
aware of, on 15 and Minnewashta Parkway, there are sometimes 40
or more cars and trailers. So this poses a high safety problem
in Minnewashta Parkway. We looked at some creative ways of
solving the problem, by moving Minnewashta Parkway further west.
We got the cooperation from the City and the County and they
examined that. We had a meeting and perhaps 40 or 50 residents
from around the lake attended. We found that it was initally not
feasible. The most attractive to, we felt, the city, the resi-
dents of the lake, the County, D.N.R., Metro Council, was to
utilize some of the existing facilities in the regional park.

Our hope there w,,. to keep non -motorized craft -in Little Hirenie
Bay .and the motorize.' craft. down the shoreline. The location for
the access is nearly a��ie from any residential area. At the
�- time the access would go in, ti.* public access that exists next
to Leach's will be automatically dosed and that would eliminate
any safety problems on Minnewashta Parkway: -_W¢ anticipate that
Leach's Resort, because of economic conditions, 'vVlr p abably--no�__
run more than 1-3 years at the most. Currently, Leach's is
putting in about 30 boats a day. So if we are lowering the den-
sity on that lake for an --excess of the D.N.R. safety standards,
30 boats coming_-frsm Leach's and 25 over at the new park. But
when Leach's close, there will be no ne-rease-in spaces at the
regional park. We feel that in the long run we will be reducing
the traffic on the lake than what currently exists. Minnewashta
Park will be controlled with an attendant, so there will be much
more policing then what we have had on 15.
Albee moved, seconded by Noziska to close the public hearing, all
voted in favor and the motion carried.
Merz moved, seconded by Albee, to recommend that City Council
adopt amendment 6.04 to the Conditional Use Permit with the
following addition: "The Lake Minnewashta Park be the only
access on the lake." and the following specific proposals be
adopted as the means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will
be resident at the park.
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City
eheuld will physically close its access adjacent to Leach's
Resort. The City sheer will make a policy statement that
the closing of a quasi -public access or private access will
not constitute a reason or justification to inereasae public
access parking or capacity. This statement could shall be
included within the City's Comprehensive Plan as is proposed
for No. 6.
3. The existing public access on Little Minnie will be limited
to a maximum 10 horsepower motor size and a maximum of 15
parking spaces will be provided to serve that access. The
County should be permitted to rent a limited number of canoes
for use on Little Minnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and the City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these changes.

LOW BID REQUIREMENT: The City Manager explained that the City has to
accept the low b d f the bidder meets the specifications.
1984 PROPOSED BUDGET:
Councilman Geving - You indicated that you had $11,000 in Fund 462 and
whether or not there was any thought to putting that money into a new
rescue vehicle or something for the fire department. The reason that I say
that is I felt that this was a bond issue the generated these funds, I know
we spent $16,000 over at Station #1 but I personally feel that these monies
belong in some way connected to that initiative that the voters voted on
and approved rather than for administrative type things. I would feel
better if it was used for something that was more in line with the library,
public works department, etc.
Mayor Hamilton - Those items that are listed were included in the total
bid. It is not something that we are adding on now. They were always
intended to be purchased with the bond money.
Councilman Geving_ - If that is true I have no problem with the recommen-
dation. I heard for the very first time about the roof on the fire sta-
tion. I didn't know we had a problem there. I feel that these kinds of
dollars possibly could be used for that. I would rather repair something
if it's really in bad need of repair than go out and buy other things.
Don Ashworth - The Budget does not address two areas. One was the $16,000
estimate cost for roofing the fire station. We did emergency repairs a
year ago because the flashing deteriorated. At that point in time the
experts that we called in, stated that this was a way to patch that up but
in no way was really doing the job. The second issue that the Budget does
not address is the Fire Marshal position. As you are aware we did receive
a resignation notice from Jim McMahon on July 1st. That is a real problem
for the City. We are required under State Statute to provide Fire Marshal
services. There are two ways to go in providing that service. One is a
full time position which then would be a Public Safety Coordinator and try
to pick back up on some of the work that we are not getting done associated
with the Fire Department. It would take a budget of somewhere between

reduce the horsepower restriction at the existing access from 15

limited for launch of watercraft of ten (10) horsepower or
less and have a capcity for 10 car/trailer spaces. An addi-
tional access without horsepower restrictions having a capa-
city for 25 car/trailer spaces shall be developed and located
in accordance with the plan titled "Lake Minnewshta Park 2nd
Access" marked Official Copy.
Prior to construction of the access, detailed plans and specifi-
cations will be drawn and presented to appropriate review agen-
cies for approval.

ANALYSIS
As mentioned above and as noted in the letter of July 15, 1982 from Carver
County Director of Public Works, Pat Murphy, the requested amendments to
the Conditional Use Permit are to make the permit consistent with the
newly approved and adopted Park Master Development and Management Plan.
Of these amendments, the only one of significance is Section 6.04 which
is proposed to be deleted in response to the Metropolitan Council park
1 development funding review. In their review of the Minnewashta Regional
Park Master Plan, the Metropolitan Council noted that the 15 horsepower
Imotor restriction placed by the City of Chanhassen on the public access in
the park is discriminatory in nature and is inconsistent with the
"Cooperative Program in Providing Public Access Sites on Metropolitan Area
Lakes" which was prepared by the Metropolitan Council, the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources, and the State Planning Agency. This
review futher recommended funding for other recreational development and
aquisition grants for the City and the regional park be withheld until the
15 horsepower restriction has been removed.
Upon being informed of this situation, the City Council referred this
issue to the Park and Recreation Commission for their review and recommen-
dation. On July 6, 1982, the Park and Recreation Commission moved to
recommend to the Planning Commission that Section 6.04 of the Conditional
Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park be stricken. Their recom-
mendation was based on their finding that the horsepower restriction was
discriminatory in nature and that surface water usage problems would be
best implimented through the use of speed limits as opposed to horsepower
restrictions.
For your review purposes, the following is a brief synopsis of the pro-
posed amendments:
Section 1.02 adds the word development in recognition that the new Master
Plan replaces the previous concept plan and specifys more clearly facility
development objectives.
Section 1.03 the language has been changed to refer this section of the
permit to the adopted Master Plan.
Section 3.01 this section is to be amended to include the new design capa-
cities setforth in the new Master Plan.
Section 5.01 this section is amended to reference that the parks and
recreation open space element of the Carver County Comprehensive Plan
includes a committement by the County that it is their responsibility to
provide regional parks of metropolitan significance which are to serve the
county population and residence of the region as well.

RECOMMENDATION
The Park and Recreation Commission has recommended approval of the changed
conditional use permit (specifically deleting Section 6.04) for the followin(
reasons:
1). The horsepower restriction is discriminatory against a singular
land use (the regional park access). This same restriction does
not exist for other property ownership on Lake Minnewashta or at
the public access adjacent to Leach's Resort; and
2). The application of restrictions should be uniform as outlined in
the city's recently adopted "Water Surface Usage Ordinance" which
regulates speed limits for all water craft, regardless of how
access to any of our lakes is gained and thus treats
all citizens equally, whether they are lake or non -lake
owners.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
The Planning Commission considered this item at their meeting of
August 12, 1982 and moved to recommend that the City Council
maintain the 15 horsepower limitation for the Minnewashta
Regional Park boat access and moved to recommend approval of the
amendments to Sections 1.02, 1.03, 3.01, and 5.01 of the
Minnewashta Regional Park Conditional Use Permit.

Dear Mr. Ashworth:
I appreciate the opportunity to review the "OUTLINE: Report of the Lake
Minnewashta Study Committee" of June 1983 concerning public access. I wish
to compliment your committee for taking a positive approach to solving the
access issue.
I was especially interested in the Recommendations Section of the report
and would like to provide some comment.
All the recommendations have merit. To develop them, I am sure required a
considerable amount of thought and effort. The recommendations indicate
that Lake. Minnewashta belongs to all the people and should serve both the
riparian owners as well as the boating public.
I am concerned, however, that Recompiendations 2 & 6 do not reflect the
adequacy requirements we have established for all lakes in the metro area.
To meet these requirements, Lake Minnewashta must have an access (or
accesses) which provide free and unrestricted access and parking for 35
car/trailers. Recommending 2 accesses, one restricted at Little
Minnewashta with 15 parking places and one unrestricted in the southern end
of the park, may be satisfactory for the present. Perhaps consideration
should be given to 10 parking places at Little Minnewashta and 25 at the
southern site. This may better reflect both demand and use and would
closer meet the goal of 35 unrestricted parking places.
The DNR can accept this proposal and will provide fish management if it is
implemented. Access to Minnewashta, however, will still remain inadequate
until the goal is met. I suggest that the City and County consider, over
time, expanding the parking to meet the goal of 35 unrestricted parking
places.

Dear Mr. Knutson:
Attached please find the current and the proposed amended
Conditional Use Permits for Minnewashta Regional Park. The sec-
tions to be amended are as follows:
Section 1.02 - Count Park Proposal: The word development has
been added on the first line in recognition that the 1975 Master
Plan has been replaced by the 1982 Updated Master Plan which more
clearly details Park development objectives.
Section 1.03 - Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan: This
section has been revised to reference the permit to the adopted
1982 Master Plan.
Section 3.01 - Design Capacities: This section is amended to
reference the new design capacities of the 1982 Master Plan.
Section 5.01 - Advisory Committee: This section is amended to
reference that the parks and recreation open space element of the
Carver County Comprehensive Plan includes a commitment by the
County that it is their responsibility to provide regional parks
of metropolitan significance which are to serve the county popu-
lation and residents of the region as well.
Section 6.04 - Lake Access: This section is amended to reflect
the anticipated reduction of the horsepower restriction on the
existing access from 15 to 10 horsepower and planned development
of a second access without horsepower restrictions.
For your information, the following is a brief chronological sum-
mary on this matter.

Dear Pat:
Attached please find the Minnewashta Regional Park Amended
Conditional Use Permit Draft.
The amendments include those requested in your letter to myself
dated July 15, 1982 and subsequently recommended for approval by
the Planning Commission with the exception of Section 6.04 per-
taining to boat access. Section 6.04 has been amended to include
the recommended reduction in horsepower for the existing access
from 15 to 10 horsepower and to include the recommended plans to
construct the unrestricted horsepower access in the southwest
portion of the park.
The City Attorney's Office has advised, that although the new
access is not a proposal by Carver County it would be proper to
hold a public hearing since it is a facility of relative signifi-
cance and does fall within the Park boundaries.
The planned schedule of meetings to finalize the amendments to
the Conditional Use Permit is as follows:
August 24, 1983: Planning Commission Public Hearing to
review Minnewashta Regional Park second public access and
amendment to Section 6.04 of Conditional Use Permit.
September 12, 1983: City Council review of Planning
Commission Conditional Use Permit recommendations including
Sections 1.02, 1.03, 3.01 and 5.01 which were tabled at the
4. August 23, 1982 City Council meeting.
The amended permit is presently being reviewed by the City
Attorney's Office. If there are any suggested changes I will
notify you of same.

Telephone (612) 291-6359
As part of the Metropolitan Council's approval of the Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park Master Plan (Referral File No. 9238-3), on July 159 1982, the Council
directed
"...staff to aid in the development of a fair and non-discriminatory
solution to lake surface use problems in Lake Minnewashta with Carver
County and the City of Chanhassen by May 1, 1963•"
For the past year, the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee has analyzed a variety
of alternatives to provide safe and adequate car -trailer parking to Lake Minne-
washta for the boating public. The result of that study, "OUTLINE: Report of
the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee," was reviewed by me, Mike Markell of the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Mike Liddicoat, Carver County
planner, on July 6. Mr. Markell and I were pleased with the report's recom-
mendations toyprovide two boat launch sites in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park,
utilizing the regional park instead of other land on the west side of the
lake. This is the most cost-effective solution.
In general, the recommendations meet the Council's directive to staff to
develop a "fair and non-discriminatory solution-" However, recommendations 2
and 6 of the report do not reflect the car -trailer parking goal of one 11free
and unrestricted" parking space per 20 acres of lake surface as established by
the Minnesota DNR. In this case, the goal is 35 car -trailer parking spaces
with no limits to motor size --unless riparian boat owners are also limited in
the same way. As a member of the Metropolitan Water Access Task Force, the
Council is committed to assisting the DNR in meeting this goal. We are aware
that the DNR has accepted this proposal with recognition that public boat
access to the lake is still not "adequate:" We support the DNR's recommenda-
tion that the restricted boat launch on Little Minnewashta be reduced from 15
to 10 car -trailer spaces and the unrestricted boat launch on Lake Minnewashta
be increased from 20 to 25 car -trailer spaces (see letter of July 7 from Mike
Markell).

Regardless of the Chanhassen City Councils decision on the number of car -
trailer spaces at each site, we urge them to amend the conditional use permit
on the regional park so that these recommendations can be implemented.
We appreciated the opportunity to work with you and the Lake Minnewashta Study
Committee and hope that the Chanhassen City Council will take favorable action
on the committee recommendations.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager, Don Ashworth
DATE: July 11, 1983
SUBJ: Lake Minnewashta Boat Access Study Committee, Presentation
of Committee Recommendation
Approximately one year ago Carver County approached the City
requesting a change in their conditional use permit. Minor modi-
fications were being made to the earlier approved master plan.
However, the major issue was the dilemma faced by the County
regarding the 15 horsepower restriction set by the City as a part
of the original conditional use permit. The County does not have
a problem with this restriction; however, DNR/Metropolitan
Council did. DNR/Metropolitan Council determined that horsepower
regulations which treated public accesses different than private
accesses could not be sustained in court. Accordingly, they would not
allow Carver County to proceed with park improvements (expending
allocated grant monies) until such time as the horsepower regula-
tion was changed.
Numerous public questions were raised when this item appeared on
the City Council agenda, i.e. environmental concerns regarding
the public access at Little Minnie, reasonable assurance that the
City could limit boat access to a reasonable number (one access
per 20 acres of water area), were there other locations on the
lake to be considered for public access, etc.
The attached report summarizes activities of the Study Committee
and provides their recommendations. Although no solution pleases
everyone, I believe the recommendations of the Study Committee
attempt to address major concern areas raised when the original
issue was presented. Public attendance at the Study Committee
meetings was good (nearly 50 people attended one of their
meetings) and general public support (primarily Lake Minnewashta
Homeowners) was given to committee recommendations.
This item is a presentation item only. Should the City Council
endorse the Committee report, City staff will amend the conditional
use permit to incorporate the recommendations of the committee
and resubmit such to the City Council for final disposition.

Bac)Zqrourd
I. City/County Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park has 15 horsepower limit.
2. City's informal access adjacent�to Leach's Resort is
unrestricted.
3-. Private access (Leach's) is unrestricted.
4. DAT, does not recognize any of these 3 accesses as meeting
their definition. Therefore, no fish management programs.
5. Metro Council would not approve development master plan or
future development funding for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park
with the 15 horsepower restriction. Also, affected City's park
grant consideration.
G. County applied for C.U.P. amendment deleting the 15 Horsepower
restriction.
7. Park & Recreation. Commission recommended approval.
B. Planning Commission recommended denial.
9. City Council established this committee to study alternatives.
Committee Fork:
1. Met with DNR & Metro Council representatives:
a. Neither DNR nor Metro Council will use their funds for
more shoreline when Regional Park has 2 miles.
b. DNR would be amenable to location other than the par). -if
they did not have to fund land acquisition.
be perm.anent,,of adequate design, and the parking area
cannot be ser -rated from the launching : •ea by roadway.
d. Total of 32 to 37 parkins spaces must be provided to meet
DNR•and Metro Councilrequirements. Some of these spaces
could be assigned to the restricted access on Little
Minne.
2. Reviewed potential access areas around lake:
a. hxisti::g city access adjacent to Leach's Resort:
* Developed plan for moving Minnewashta Parkway.
*
Not economically viable.
* Residents object to current use and long term use as
access.
* Apparently unwilling sellers.
b. Leach's Resort:
* Development potential of land too valuable for long
term use as access.
* Extremely e --.pensive to acquire.
C. Island at south end of lake north of Hwy. 5:
Safety problems with car/trailer access off and onto
Hwy. 5.
* Marginal in size and may require fill on island.
* Environmentally sensitive around island as spawning
area.
* Fill required would make turn lanes expensive and
environmentally harmful. Permits for filling would be
difficult to obtain.
* Potentially expensive and difficult to acquire.
d. Existing neighborhood accesses (street extensions) located
in several subdivisions:
* Extremely disruptive to established neighborhoods.
* Expensive and difficult to provide parking.
e. Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (3 potential areas):
* Little Rinne is environmentally sensitive and should
not be the principal.public boat entrance to the lake.
itis' !Kl-t t6 cu Uat .l.a ltv t. _.us_yc Utv uyu c.v uv•. v.ur.ivuuw o.0
access without seriou-sly disrupting the planned uses
of pier Ding and swimming. Also ing at the "end" of
the ent_.ance road, it hinders the operational
flexibility of the park plan.
* The one other remaining area, located in the southern
third of the park, may detract from one picnic area,
but would not require any extra road work and a
launching and parking area could be reasonably
designed and permits should be easily obtainable.
Conclusions:
1. An access meeting DNR requirements is in the long term best
interest of the City.
2. Resolving the issue at this time maximizes the City's control
of the solution.
3. The total amount of access spaces currently available to the
lake exceeds the minimum numbers required by DNR and Retro
Council, but is uncoordinated, creates conflicts on the west
side of the lake, and does not meet thedefinitionof public
access used by those agencies.
4. Access meeting DNR and Metro Council standards can be obtained
within the boundaries of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park with
less impact on the community than any other location around
the lake.
Recommendations:
We hereby recommend that the City Council endorse the concept of dual
public accesses located within Lake Minnewashta Regional Park.. Ile
believe this concept provides the best long term solution to providing
reasonable public access to Lake Minnewashta with the least impact to
the coriaunity and to the environment; and with minimal impact on the
County's plan for the regional park.
We recommend that the following specific proposals be adopted as the
means of implementing this solution:
1. An additional boat access with no horsepower restriction will
be established in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park as shown in
Attachment A. This access will be limited to a maximum of 20
parking spaces. This access should be developed in the spring
of 1985 at which time a permanent County park employee will be
resident at the park.
2. At such time as the new public access is open, the City should
physically close its access adjacent to Leach's Resort. The
City should make a policy statement that the closing of a
quasi -public access or private access will not constitute a
reason or justification to increase public access parking or
capacity. This statement could he included within the City's
Comprehensive Plan as is proposed for No. 6.
F
�3. The existing publ.r access; on Little Minne will be limit A to
a i 0 hors ower motor size and a mco. um of 15 parking
sprW(-r' will be provided to serve that acce - The County
should be permitted to'rent a limited number of canoes for use
on Little Vinnie.
4. The County's master plan be revised to reflect these changes
and t.ho City's conditional use permit be amended to reflect
these chances.
5.. Little Minne should be surface zoned as a "Slow - No Wake"
zone,
6. The City should establish a firm policy position regarding all
public accesses, such as "the city hereby establishes a boat
access policy and standard of one (1) parking space for every
20 acres of water surface -"such being both a minimum and
maxirftin, standard on all City lakes." Further, this policy and
strrCard should be included within the City's Comprehensive
Plan as well as within a lard use ordinance (water surface or
zoning), such requiring a 4/5ths vote to -be modified thus
providing reasonable assurance of continuity.

The committee proposed that the existing primary access be upgraded
a
10 f
Council Meeting October '4, 1982 -6-
for a boat access. There was some opposition to the propo,al from
the DNR because of the lack of parking. At that meeting, Pat Murphy
pointed out that he felt that a boat launching area and a general
park area were not generally compatible uses and also felt that he
could demonstrate that there would not be adequate parking to provide the
kind of parking that is needed for an access area. Pat Murphy further
suggested that the DNR look along Minnewashta Parkway, that the road maybe
could be straightened out to provide a parking area next to the lake. The
DNR would like some assurance from the City that the City would provide
the parking area and maintain the area as a primary access area. There would
only be a non -motorized access in Minnewashta Park.
Councilman Horn moved to accept the Lake Minnewashta Study Committee
recommendations. Motion seconded by Councilman Geving. The following
voted in favor: Mayor Hamilton, Councilmen Geving and Horn. No negative

CHASKA'S HUD APPLICATION: Councilman Geving noted Chaska's plans for
asking HUD for $970,000 to revitalize their downtown area and Chanhassen
has not attempted it. Scott Martin stated that Chanhassen has a three
year working agreement with the Urban Hennepin County Community
Development Block Grant Program which means if the City is under one HUD
program it cannot apply for a second program. The City will not qualify
for at least the next 2; years.
CARVER BEACH BOAT MOORING: This item will be discussed on a future

DQWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT: Mayor Hamilton reported on a meeting
held with BRW regarding the downtown project. Another meeting with be
held November 2nd.
Mayor Hamilton - We talked about the ideas that were presented that night
and pretty much decided that that wasn't what we wanted
to do and based on Don's (Ashworth) report on the
fiscal disparities and the good financial position that
we are in, in that tax increment district, we don't
really need to rush into anything so our next step is
we are going to write a position paper saying what the
City's position actually is and that will come back to
the Council, HRA, and Planning Commission, stating what
this group feels our position is currently and the
direction that we want to go in. We are going to meet
with Kraus -Anderson to let them know where we are and
where we see them involved in this whole picture. We
are going to go out and do some searching on our own. f
We are really in good shape financially so why should we L
jump into something when we don't have to. One of the
concepts that we looked at as far as development was
to look at the possibility of developing the north part
Concerns Expressed by Various Parties
1. Public access on "Little Minnie" fosters environmental degradation
of that bay because of props of larger motors.
2. Public access on Little Minnie is contrary to Little Minnie being
part of nature area of the park.
3. With 2 accesses already operating (City b Leach's), the addition
of 30 spaces for unrestricted motor sizes will create more problems
on the lake.
4. Because of city access and Leach's being unrestricted, it makes
little or no difference if park access is unrestricted.
5. Restricted H.P. size at park access is discriminatory.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT REQUEST, MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK• Many
residents of the Minnewashta area were present. Pat Murphy, Carver County
Director of Public Works was also present. The Metropolitan Council/DNR
are seeking City/County deletion of the 15 horsepower restriction claiming
that it is discriminatory as it does not apply to any other property owners
or launching area on the lake. Citizens on the lake feel that the
restriction should not be removed as the City/County made a commitment
to placement of this restriction as a part of the original plan approval.
Additional factors of concern include the inadequate parking existing at
the public launching facility off Minnewashta Parkway, the City's ability
to incorporate the launching activites at Lake Minnewashta as a part of
overall water surface management ordinances, and the recognition of the
environmentally sensitive area where the boat launch facility is located
at the regional park.

Reoional Park Boat Launch and Access
August 23, 1982
I. FACTUAL SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
A. 1975 faster Plan
'.1. Specific Factors for Limitinn Boat Activity From the Park
* Mature and Size of the Lake
*,Extent of Existing Home Development
* Existing Private Resort
* Existino Public Access
2. Recommendations of 1975 master Plan
* Boat Type Limitation—nonmotorized, or up to 10 hp.
* Parking Limitation -30 cars and trailer space
B. 1982 Update of the 1975 Master Plan
1.
"Carver County intends to operate the Park according to
all conditions set by the city -of Chanhassen, including
those regulating the public access."
COP
fad

**However, Carver County recommends removal of horsepower restriction
2. Concerns
* Control of Boat Activity in the Park
* Control of Boat Activity on the Lake
II. REVIEV AND . TI'1ENDATIONS
A. Task force Development Guidelines
1. One Boat for each 2D acres of Lake surface
• Lake Minnewashta has 65B acres
659 acres/2D acres per boat = 33 boats
2. Access Points
+ Existing Public Access allows 25 to 30 boats
* Leaches Resorts allows 25 to 35 boats
* Carver County Park allows 30 boats
TOTAL= B5 to 95 boats or 200% of capacity
3. Conclusion
To minimize the impact to the lake and on boating safety
of operating at 200% of capacity, the horsepower restric-
tion must be maintained on the new park access.
B. Lake Minnewashts Committee Recommends the following:
1. Maintain Horsepower Restriction
a. Allow the park to function as intended—as a nature
park with swimming, picnicking, fishing, camping,
hiking and nature study.
b, Maintain the existing public access for lake owners,
fishermen with large hp boats, and water ski boats.
Lake Minnewashts home owners negotiated an agreement in 1977.
Lie -are willing to abide by this agreement and hope Chanhassen
City Council will see fit to acknowledge and back up the
original agreement.

M. Thompson explained that he voted against the motion because
the City would be promoting citywide usage of mobile homes, also
because the City is committed to allowing for low and moderate

Noziska indicated he voted against the motion because he does not
like mobile homes scattered in the City, he also indicated that
he feels the proposed ordinance is good.

Chairman Partridge called the public hearing to order at
p.m.
Waibel read the staff report to the Planning Commission. Waibel
explained that Carver County is requesting to amend the Conditional
Use Permit between the City of Chanhassen and Carver County to make
the permit consistent with the newly adopted Park Master Development
and Management Plan. Waibel explained that the approximate 350 acres
of parkland is located on the northeast side of Lake Minnewashta.
Waibel further stated that the property was zoned Agricultural when
Zoning Ordinance 47 was adopted in 1972. He explained that in 1977,
the property was classified as recreational development shoreland
Planning Commission Minutes
August 12, 1982
Page 5
when the Shoreland Management Ordinance was adopted, and in December
of 1977, Carver County was granted a Conditional Use Permit from the
City of Chanhassen to develop the property into a regional park.
Waibel indicated that there is presently no sanitary sewer and water
services to the property.
Waibel explained to the Planning Commission that in the Metropolitan
Council's review of the Carver County's request for funding for the
regional park, the Metropolitan Council noted that the 15 horsepower
motor restriction placed by the City of Chanhassen on the public
access in the park is discriminatory in nature and is inconsistent
with the "Cooperative Program in Providing Public Access Sites on
Metropolitan Area Lakes" which is prepared by the Metropolitan
Council and other agencies from the state. Waibel further explained
that the Metropolitan Council recommended that funding be withheld
until the 15 horsepower restriction has been removed.
Tom Merz, 3201 Dartmouth Drive, indicated that he was told that
7500 people would be using the regional park per day, he felt
that this amount of people would be devestating to the lake. He
indicated that when the regional park was planned it was decided
to be used as a nature park, and that the lakeshore owners were
guaranteed that the master plan could not be changed.
Pat Murphy, Carver County, explained that the capacity amounts
will not be affected by this change. He stated that the
Metropolitan Council is requesting that the 15 horsepower
restriction on motorboats from the park access be changed to a
higher amount because they feel it is discriminatory. Murphy
also indicated that the Metropolitan Council will hold LAWCON funding
from the park, and the Department of Natural Resources will not
recognize the access and a public access and will not offer water
quality assistance, or fish management programs.
It was indicated from the public that the 15 horsepower limit was
to help protect the lake and attract fishermen, not fast boaters.
M. Thompson stated that it was the intent of the regional park to
remain natural.
Hud Hollenbeck, former Planning Commission member, explained that
when the regional park was planned, the City and County would be
in control of the park. He indicated that now the State is
putting pressure on the County to change the master plan on the
15 horsepower limit, he further questioned what will be next. He
stated that if the horsepower limit has to be changed, then he
would recommend that the park be closed because it will ruin the
lake.
Murphy explained that the State wanted a park close to the
Minneapolis area because of the energy crises. He further
explained that the State felt people are not traveling as
far and would want something close.

J. Thompson (speaking as a citizen) said that he had been moni-
toring the lake and found that the lake is much clearer than
any other lake in the area and it would not take much to change
it. He expressed concern regarding the number of high powered
vehicles allowed on the lake making it unsafe and hard to fish.
He indicated he would like to keep the 15 horsepower limit.
Mike Lynch, Park and Recreation Committee Chairman, indicated
that he feels that public waters is public property and that the
lakeshore owners should not be allowed to set a limit on hor-
sepower. He also stated that horsepower limits would be hard to
enforce, he then asked the lakeshore owners if they would be
willing to restrict themselves to 15 horsepower limit. Many of
the public indicated that they would.
Merz explained that when the regional park was planned, lakeshore
owners were sold an agreement that the master plan would not be
changed, and now the state wants to change it.
Pat Crane, 6341 Cypress Drive, said that he is concerned about
the City's problem with the holdback of funding, but if the State
can threaten the City with this this year, he asked what would be
changed in the plan next year.
It was asked how the County is planning to police the number of
boats being launched from the access. Murphy explained that he
is only allowing a certain number of parking spaces and also
there will be someone at the gate to watch.
Partridge explained that the Park and Recreation Committee
suggested changing the 15 horsepower limit because they felt it
is discriminatory.
Conrad moved, seconded by Watson, to close the public hearing.
All voted in favor and the motion carried.
Conrad stated that he feels the intent of the park is to
preserve nature, and that an upward change in the horsepower
limit would be a change in the intent of the park. He indicated
that he felt that a 15 horsepower limit is a little low for
fishing.
A motion was made by M. Thompson, seconded by J. Thompson, to
deny Carver County's request to amend Section.6.04 of the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. He indicated that discri-
mination should not be a concern, but preserving the original
plan should be. The following voted in favor: M. Thompson,
Conrad, J. Thompson, Watson, Noziska, opposed - Partridge.
Motion carried.
Partridge indicated he feels that denying this request will not
do any good.
Planning Commission Minutes
August 12, 1982
Page 7
Noziska moved, seconded by Conrad, to recommend approval of the
Conditional Use Permit changes as proposed in Section 1.02, 1.03,
3.01, and 5.01 as follows:
1.02 - Adds the word development in recognition that the new
Master Plan replaces the previous concept plan and specifys more
clearly facility development objectives.
1.03 - the language has been changed to refer this section of the
permit to the adopted Master Plan.
3.01 - this section is to be amended to include the new design
capacities setforth in the new Master Plan.
5.01 - this section is amended to reference that the parks and
recreation open space element of the Carver County Comprehensive
Plan includes a committement by the County that it is their
responsibility to provide regional parks of metropolitan signifi-
cance which are to serve the county population and residence of
the region as well.
The following voted in favor: Partridge, J. Thompson, M.
Thompson, Noziska, Conrad. Watson - opposed. Motion carried.
Watson explained that she voted against the motion because the
regional park is located in an unsewered area and should not have
any form of development in that area, also she felt that the City
does not have the police power to watch 450 group campers.

of the City, and requesting a zoning ordinance amendment to
locate a driving range in a residential district.
Waibel explained that this is a variance request from Ordinance

cant is not requesting any building permits. '

Dear Bob:
CARVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE
600 EAST FOURTH STREET
CHASKA, MINNESOTA 55318
Attached hereto is a request by Carver County to amend the December 6, 1977
Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen to Carver County
for Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. Also attached is the $150.00 filing
fee required for the permit amendment to be processed by the City.
The County Board of Commissioners request to amend the 1977 permit to
relate more precisely to the approved 1982 update of the park's master
plan. The amendment request also comes at a time when the 15 horsepower
restriction on craft launched at the park's boat access (section 6.04 of
the 1977 permit) is being reconsidered by the City of Chanhassen due to
its affect on the City's ability to secure local park funds and its effect
on the ability of the County to proceed with development of the park as
per its approved master plan.
The requested amendment of the 1977 permit involves several items as
listed below:
A. Section 1.02 County Park Proposal should be changed to read:
The County proposes the acquisition and development of a regional
county park to be located on the northeast shore of Lake Minnewashta,
designating said park as Lake Minnewashta Regional Park (hereinafter
referred to as the "park"), and has made application to the City for
approval of said acquisition and development and the issuance of a
conditional use permit.
B. Section 1.03 Lake M innewashta Regional Park Master Plan should be
:
be changed to read
Except as hereinafter modified or otherwise provided, the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan - 1982 Update - as approved by
the County Board Of Commissioners on April 13, 1982, forms the basis of
this conditional use permit for said County Regional Park. Said Master
Plan and approving County motion are attached hereto as Exhibits "A"
and "B" respectively and incorporated herein by reference.'

RE: Conditional Use Permit Amendment for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Public Access
Dear Pat:
Enclosed is a copy of an application form for a Conditional Use
Permit for your use in formally seeking an amendment to the
Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen to Carver
County in 1977 for the development of Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park.
This application should be completed and returned to Bob Waibel,
City Planner, not later than July 15, 1982 if you wish to have the
request concerning the boat access horsepower restriction con-
sidered by the Chanhassen Planning Commission in August. The
application must be accompanied by a $150 filing fee (which is
nonrefundable) and a list of property owners (names and addresses)
lying within 350 feet of the Park boundaries.
As we discussed, on June 21, 1982 the City Council referred this matter
to the City Park and Recreation Commission and the newly formed
Environmental Protection Committee, who will meet jointly on July 6, 1982
in order to review the status of the 15 horsepower restriction on boats
launched at the new Regional Park Public Access. A copy of this meeting
agenda will be mailed to you next week.
I would anticipate that the Commission and Committee will make a
recommendation to the Planning Commission concerning the boat
access restriction as a result of this joint meeting.

Planning Report
June 24, 1975
TO: Planning Commission, City Staff and Carver County
FROM: Bruce Pankonin, City Planner
SUBJECT: Proposed Minnewashta Regional Park
Background
1. The preperty under consideration is 400± acrea located
on the north east shore of Lake Minnewashta, Chanhassen,
Minnesota. As shown in previous exhibits the study
area consists of gently rolling to strongly rolling
open and farm land, with extensive stands of hard wood
in scattered areas and limited marshland.
2. The City Plan prop..ses the area to be developed as resi-
dential planned unit development.
3. STH 41, which forms the eastern boundary of the study
area, is to be upgraded by State Highway Department to
"intermediate arterial" status. (4 lane divided roadway
with strict on grade access control) This upgrading is
programmed to occur sometime h&twn_14 ^-1990.
4. On December 19,1974, the Metropolitan Council adopted
the Open Space Chapter of the Metropolitan Development
Guide-jMDG). The subject property is included as a
regional park site in the MDG.
5. Carver County is presently preparing Master Plan for
regional park sites at Lake Minnewashta, Lake Waconia, and
Baylor Park in response to the MDG.
PLANNERS COMMENTS:
1. The criteria to evaluate the proposed regional park is the
adopted city plan, and effectthe park would have upon
Chanhassen's urban system. (i.e. police, fire, taxes and
surface use of Lake Minnewashta, etc.)
2. To accommodate the County's proposal would entail an amend-
ment to Chanhassen's Comprehensive Plan as outlined below:
a. Informal presentation by the County to Chanhassen's
lanning Commission.
b. Planning Commission required to hold at least one
Public hearing.
C. Planning Commission recommendation to City Council.
d. Proposed amendment with Planning Commission recommend-
ation submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review
and comment.
e• City Council takes formal action to amend or not
amend comprehensive plan.
3. From a planning point of view, a regional park as proposed
and property controlled, would have a positive affect on
the entire city of Chanhassen and would provide a level
of development which would have less of an adverse impact
on Lake Minnewashta than a residential planned unit develop-
ment. (i.e. controlled boat access allowing non -motorized
craft vs. residential development and associative water
activity demands.)
4. The County in exhibit 4 has provided cursory economic
impact analysis of the regional park on Chanhassen and the
School District. I feel this analysis, as outlined is
the best guess that could be made at this time and I 4:<4- moi.

The list includes those elements staff considers crucial to start-up. Roads,
parking, beach, picnic, trails and an improved boat access result from this
phase of development. Each can be considered as an operable unit of
development according to plan, permitting a functioning regional park at the
end of this phase of development.
ISSUES
Two serious issues arise from provisions of the CUP from Chanhassen.
1. BOAT ACCESS. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) restricts the horsepower and
number of boats which may be launched from the regional park lake access.
Though the lake's minimum capacity, from the water access task force
formula, is 40 boats, the CUP limits parking capacity to 30 boat/trailer
units. The agreement also limits motor size across the launch to 15
horsepower.
The CUP also sets the capacity of other facilities in the park. None of
the capacities in the CUP, other than for the boat launch, appear unduly
restrictive.
Staff does not strongly oppose the boat number restriction placed on
the launch. The lake is busy and boats are launched through resorts on the
lake as well as by lakeshore owners. Also, the number of boats permitted
is probably adequate to meet expected demand at this time.
The 15 horsepower limit, however, is clearly discriminatory against park
users. No limits are placed on the number or the horsepower of boats
launched across the resort landings, nor are lakeshore owners restricted.
Further, no problem has been demonstrated to justify the restriction.
During discussion of the draft master plan, the situation was identified
and Metro Council and DNR staff commented, as did some Carver County
municipalities, suggesting removal of the unfair restricition and
development of nondiscriminatory surface use ordinances to remedy any
problems which may exist. The issue was noted by county staff and
discussed by the Carver County Park Commission and County Board, but was
not changed in the adopted master plan. The Carver County Board's position
is that it had agreed to the CUP with Chanhassen. Until a changed
provision is negotiated, the County Board is compelled to honor the CUP.
Since adopting the plan, the County has approached Chanhassen in an attempt
to negotiate a change (Attachment A).
2. PARCELS C AND D. The CUP also provides that Carver County acquire parcels
C and D, east of Highway 41. The parcels are removed from the rest of the
park by TH 41 and, in the opinion of staff, offer no regional benefit to
the park. The plan lists, as reasons to acquire, the following:
- The parcels provide a nature demonstration area adjacent to West Jr.
High (Minnetonka School District), to be used by the school and by the
U of M Arboretum, and, presumably, park users.
- The parcels provide an "active play area," again adjacent to the
school.

Re: Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Public Access
Dear Don:
CARVER COUNTY COURTHOUSE
800 EAST 4TH
CHASKA, MINNESOTA 55318
We recently submitted to you the updated master plan for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park as adopted by the County Board. As a result of the develop-
ment and review of that document, a conflict emerged which could have impacts
to the City of Chanhassec_ beyond that of the public access at rn+r regional
park. Because of this factor, I am bringing the matter to your attention and
suggest that the City may wish to,pursue it further.
The County's original master plan and our conditional use permit with the
City of Chanhassen both provide for a horsepower restriction at the public
access in the regional park. The controlling restrictions on the access
are the 15 horsepower limitation and the limitation of 30 parking spaces,
since both are contained in the conditional use permit. During their infor-
mal review of the public hearing draft of the updated master plan in February,
the Metropolitan Council Park and Open Space staff urged that the 15 horsepower
limitation not be continued in the updated master plan. This is a result of
the work during the past two years of the Cooperative Water Access Task Force
(of which the Metropolitan Council is a member) which has been very active in
encouraging the acquisition of additional public access sites in the Metro-
politan area; as well as assembling a uniform set of standards concerning
access development and operation that would equally apply to any unit of
government requesting regional, state, or federal funds to develop a public
access to a metro area lake. I am attaching a separate paper which explains
in more detail why the 15 horsepower restriction creates a problem with the
Metropolitan Council. This separate document was used by our Park Commission
in their deliberations and is provided here for your information.
During the public hearing process on the updated master plan, we received
letters from the Metropolitan Council staff and the Minnesota Department of
NaturalResources urging that the 15 horsepower limitation be removed. I
am attaching copies of those letters for your information: We also received
public hearing comments from the City of Chaska and the City of Victoria
suggesting that the 15 horsepower limit be removed.

The County Park Commission and the Advisory Committee, in considering the
hearing comments, came to the conclusion that the 15 horsepower restriction
is creating no serious problems at the present time because there are other
access points which can be used by boats with larger motors and that the
15 horsepower limitation should continue to be 'included. in the master plan.
However, since the current restriction could have future long term implica-
tions on the park, and the implications in the DNR's letter certainly could
impact the City of Chanhassen in other ways; the Park Commission felt that
it would be desireable to notify the City of this concern with the 15 horse-
power restriction and suggest that the City consider water surface zoning or
other measures as a means of controlling boat usage and any potential surface
problems on Lake Minnewashta. The master plan states that:
"Carver County intends to operate the park according all conditions
set by the City of Chanhassen, including those regarding the public
access. However, the County will notify the City that it should
consider removing the 15 horsepower motor size restriction at the
park's public access in favor of water surface zoning as a means of
controlling boat usage and surface problems on Lake Minnewashta."
The reasons that the County considered it important to inform the City of
Chanhassen of this problem and to suggest that they consider other methods
of control at Lake Minne-ashta are:
1. Changes in state law and state rule since the original master plan
was developed in 1975 have provided for more flexibility and more
local control in regard to the development of water surface usage
ordinances. These may provide a much more suitable option than they
did in 1975.
2. The options available in assembling a water surface zoning ordinance
allow the City to control to the extent it feels is necessary any
and all water surface problems, including surface overuse and abuse.
Boats launched at the park's public access would be subject to the
same regulations as all lakeshore property owners, thus eliminating
any discrimination. At the same time, water surface zoning would
provide a control over the lake surface that promotes the health,
safety and welfare of everyone enjoying the lake.
3. The letter from the DNR clearly states their policy in regard to fish
stocking and fish management programs on Lake Minnewashta. It may not
be in the long term interest of the City to forego these programs on a
lake with the quality of Lake Minnewashta.
4. The fact that the DNR does not recognize that there are any free,
unrestricted accesses on Lake Minnewashta at least raises the possibility
of the DNR proposing to acquire an additional access meeting their
standards on this lake sometime in the future.

5. It is my understanding that the application of the standards developed
by the Cooperative Water Access Task Force in relation to one or more
of the City of Chanhassen's LA14CON applications for public accesses on
other lakes within the city have created problems for the city. It may
be that the application and development of a water surface use ordinance
may be a means of protecting the City',s concerns in"these areas while
still meeting the agency requirements for qualifying for grant funds.
6. The continuation of the 15 horsepower restriction may result in the
disapproval of our updated master plan by the Metropolitan Council and
therefore eliminate our ability to begin development at the park. While
we are prepared to argue this point and stand on the principle that we
do have an agreement with the City of Chanhassen with which we must
comply, it is very possible that the willingness of the City to begin
discussions on other means of control would result in our plan being
approved at this time.
If the City does decide to consider other options for control of its lakes,
I recognize that this would result in a process which would extend over
several months and perhaps up to a year. We would be pleased to participate
in the process if you feel we could make a contribution. You may also wish
to contact representatives from the Metropolitan Council and from the DNR
to determine if they would be willing to provide any input or participation
in the process.
If you have any questions in regard to this letter, please contact me.
I would appreciate receiving some response in the near future.

THE 15 Hr 71STRICTION AT THE PARK'S PUQL1P ACCESS
Why it is a problem (from a master plan viewpoint) with the Metropolitan Council
Carver County entered into a park acquisition and development agreement
with the City of Chanhassen when the City issued a conditional use permit for
the park in 1977 (based off of information in the 1975 master plan). At that
time, the City supported the contention of surrounding lakeshore owners that
some sort of restriction should be applied to the park's -boat access to
discourage 1) overuse of the lake surface and 2) the uncontrolled access to
the lake of power boaters. Hence, a horsepower restriction at the park's
access became a part of the 1975 master plan and a condition in the park's
C.U.P. It would serve three purposes. One, it would limit the numbers of
craft entering the lake and two, it would prohibit power boats entering the
lake causing increased surface congestion. Three, it would restrict craft
to small fishing boats, something not viewed as a problem.
In 1979, the Cooperative Water Access Task Force was formed of members
of the State Planning Agency, the DNR and the Metropolitan Council. One of
their tasks was to assemble a uniform set of standards concerning access
development and operation that would equally apply to any unit of government
requesting regional, state or federal funds to develop a public access to a
metro area lake. This was in response to growing public concern that whenever
an access project came up, surrounding land owners would pressure local govern-
ments into either eliminating the access project altogether or imposing their
own conditions of development and operation on the access'to severly limit the
general, public's ability to get on the lake through it.
The Cooperative Water Access Task Force recognized many of the reasons
why local residents are concerned about restricting access to metro area lakes.
Surface overuse and abuse are two of the key concerns and have become a problem
on some lakes. Recognizing these as legitimate problems caused not just by
public accesses but also by increased boat ownership by lakeshore residents
and increasing lakeshore development, the task force began pushing for stronger
local government awareness of their powers to implement water surface zoning
regulations. Cities and counties, they pointed out, have the ability to key
in on lake surface problems and custom -make surface zoning laws in conjunction
with the DNR to deal with them. The main source of the lake surface problems
do not lie in a singular access site - they concern everyone having access to
a lake, the task force concluded. The ability of local governments to enact
surface zoning would eliminate problems local residents associate with public
accesses.
What has happened now as a result of the task force's work is that the
Metropolitan Council finds itself in the position of having to violate an
established set of access standards if they approve our master plan with the
horsepower restriction. Even though they once approved an access restriction
in the 1975 master plan, the key now is that they may not issue regional funds
for the park because they would violate those standards.
P.S. The Metropolitan POS staff recognizes (although somewhat reluctantly)
that the City of Chanhassen does have land use control through the Conditional
Use•Permit over the park. Based on their preliminary review of our draft
master plan, they apparently have no problem with any of the other conditions
of the permit.

Dear Pat:
Our preliminary staff review, February 19, of the revised Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Master -Plan, was a positive and productive discussion. For
the most part, the plan seems well conceived and, in our opinion, is techni-
cally well done.
As was said in our discussion on the 19th, the one major issue our staff
saw was that part of the conditional use permit with the City of Chanhassen
which limited the horsepower of boats launched at the water access site in
the park. Our objections are basically two: first, the limitation is
discriminatory against users of the regional park when other lake users, not
only residents, but those who launch boats from resorts on the lake, are
not limited in the same way. -This unfairly discriminates against one Group
of public users and should not be allowed. Second, what problem is this
limit supposed to remedy?
If there is a problem of safety, inappropriate surface use, or environmental
damage, we are not aware of it. If such a problem is anticipated, it does
not seem to be described -in the.master plan. If there is a problem, good,
legal, non-discriminatory lake use regulations are possible. As participants
in the Metropolitan Water Access Task Force, I'm sure the Council would join
with the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Energy,
Planning and Development in an offer to help cities and counties develop an
appropriate remedy. We are sure that a discriminatory clause, such as this

Dear Mr. Yurphy:
Through the Metro Access Task Force comprised of the Metropolitan Council
Department of T:nergy Planning and Development and DNR, I was informed
of the new public access proposed for the Regional Park on Lake Ydnnewashta.
I first wish to compliment the Carver County for again promoting public
water access to one of Minnesota's greatest natural resource, its lakes.
However, I was somewhat concerned about the conditional use permit from
the City of Chanhassen which limits the horsepower of boats launched
at the water access site.
The DNR operates under laws which require the Commissioner to provide free
and adequate access to public waters and prohibits fish stocking on lakes
where there is not a free public access. The Department will not be able
to stock Lake Minnewashta unless the horsepower regulation is removed. In
addition, Lake Minnewashta will be a low priority for any fish management
as a matter of policy due to the discriminatory restriction.
Also, it seems unfair to restrict the boater and fishermen when he is
paying his fair share through boat and fishing licenses. Boat licenses
were increased substantially by the legislature last year. The new
fLmds are provided to counties for boat and water safety. Carver County's
funding increased from 31,230.25 to 579000.30.
If there is a problem with conflicting uses on the lake, adopting non:.
discriminatory lake use regulations are possible. Surface use regulations
must be approved by the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The Department

At its meeting on July 15, 1982, the Metropolitan Council considered the Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan. This consideration was based on a
report of the Physical Development Committee, Referral Report No. 82-71. A
copy of this report, which was adopted as presented, is attached.
The Council adopted the following recommendations contained in the report:
1. Approve the revised Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan;
2. Advise Carver County that funds approved in the current Regional
Recreation Open Space Capital Improvement Program for the acquisition
and development of Lake Minnewashta Regional Park shall not be used
for Parcels C and D. If the County develops and documents a regional
function for these parcels, the Council may consider them for funding
as part of an approved future CIP;
3. Direct Council staff to aid in the development of a fair and non-
discriminatory solution to lake surface use problems on Lake
Minnewashta with Carver County and the City of Chanhassan by May 1,
1983; and
4. Approve a development grant contract with Carver County for Lake
Minnewashta Regional Park in the amount of $107,200.

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Earlier this summer we talked about the horsepower restriction listed in the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park Conditional Use Permit issued by the City of Chanhassen. Since the inception of the
conditional use permit the DNR has added "No Wake" restrictions to the bay of Lake Minnewashta
where boat access #1 is located. The "No Wake" restriction eliminates the need for a horsepower
restriction in the bay of Lake Minnewashta.
Additionally, the horsepower restriction is not manageable. Boaters come and go throughout the
day with varying motor sizes. A boater will choose one of two parking areas in the park based on
availability of a parking stall and not the size of motor. It is not reasonable to enforce a horsepower
restriction and keep track of boaters coming and going from two boat accesses and their motor sizes.
For these reasons, Carver County Parks requests the conditional use permit be amended to
eliminate the horsepower restriction at boat access #1.
Enclosed is the proposed Amendment #1 for the Conditional Use Permit for Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
Please notify me with any questions or concerns by October 15th, 2004.

Dear Marty:
I have reviewed the Carver County Lake Minnewashta Regional Park Master Plan
dated October 2002 and offer the following comments:
• The city of Chanhassen has an amended Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
with Carver and Hennepin County that was executed in the fall of 1984.
One of the conditions of the CUP is the ability to Review and Approve
plans within the park. The CUP states the "....it is not contemplated that
the City will have approval authority over detailed development plans so
long as they are consistent in scope and capacities with the Master Plan.
..Any development plans not consistent in scope and capacities with the
Master Plan shall require an amended CUP."
It appears that the revised master plan is consistent with the 1984 CUP. Thank
you for the opportunity to review and comment.
Sincerely,

TOTAL P.02
• The park is located west of Hwy 41 on the eastern shore of Lake Minnewashta.
• Carver County Parks is requesting an amendment to CUP 75-2 to eliminate the
horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1.
• The CUP currently prohibits the launching of boats w/ motors of 10 hp or greater
from Access #1.
• When plans for the park were first being considered in 1974-75, the City was
concerned that boats of high horsepower with large hulls could negatively impact
Little Minne Bay.
• The basis for Carver County's request isnotion that the rr wake surface zoning
eliminates the need for a horsepower restriction, and their experience,41"
it is difficult to enforce the horsepower restriction and keep track of boaters coming
and going from two boat accesses
• Staff contacted several DNR staff members, none of which had any issues with the
elimination of the horsepower restriction and concurred that Little Minne Bay should
be protected with a no wake zoning restriction.
• On page 4 in the last paragraph I noted that the City hadn't reviewed Carver County's
2002 Park Master Plan Update, the reason being that I did not locate any record of
such a review. Yesterday I spoke with the Carver County Parks Director who
forwarded me a letter stating that the City had in fact reviewed the Updated Master
Plan. in 2D02
• Staff supports the amendment to Conditional Use Permit 75-2 to eliminate the
horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park.

Minnewashta Regional Park
Conditional Use Permit Amendment - Planning Case No. 04-37
February 1, 2005
Page 5
Staff supports the amendment of Conditional Use Permit 75-2 to eliminate the horsepower
restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park. In regards to the proposed
future intensification of Boat Access #1, the City must critically analyze the impact of such
intensified use on Little Minne Bay before considering approval of such plans.
FINDINGS
The Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the council shall issue
such conditional use permits only if it finds that such use at the proposed location:
1. Will not be detrimental to or damage the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general
welfare of the neighborhood of the city.
Finding The amendment will not be detrimental to the general welfare of the city. The
existing no wake surface zoning should protect the character of the area.
2. Will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive plan and this chapter.
Finding: The amendment will be consistent with the comprehensive plan and chapter 20 of the
zoning ordinance.
Will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance
with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential
character of that area.
Findini : The amendment will not change the character of the area. While boats with motors
greater than 10 horsepower will be permitted launch access on Little Minne Bay, they are still
restricted by slow -no wake surface zoning.
4. Will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned neighboring uses.
Finding The amendment will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned
neighboring uses.
5. Will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and
fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools; or
will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies
responsible for the establishment of the proposed use.
Finding: Adequate public facilities already exist.
6. Will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and services and will not be
detrimental to the economic welfare of the community.
Finding: Additional public facilities and services will not be required.
Minnewashta Regional Park
Conditional Use Permit Amendment - Planning Case No. 04-37
February 1, 2005
Page 6
7. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and condition of operation that
will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive
production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, rodents, or trash.
Finding: While the type of traffic will change with access granted to boat motors greater than
10 horsepower, which may increase the level of noise created by boat traffic, slow -no wake
should limit noise increases.
8. Will have vehicular approaches to the property that do not create traffic congestion or interfere
with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares.
Finding: Adequate vehicular approaches already exist.
9. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access, natural, scenic or historic
features of major significance.
Finding The amendment will not result in significant damage of natural features of Little
Minne Bay.
10. Will be aesthetically compatible with the area.
Finding: The amendment will be aesthetically compatible with the area. Use of boats in Little
Minne Bay is already permitted.
11. Will not depreciate surrounding property values.
Finding The amendment will not depreciate surrounding property values.
12. Will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in this article.
Finding: The amendment meets the standards of uses provided in this article.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends approval of the amendment to Conditional Use Permit 75-2
to eliminate the horsepower restriction at Boat Access #1 in Lake Minnewashta Regional Park,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Little Minne Bay must contain signage stating its slow -no wake surface zoning.
