4th of July Fireworks Display at Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park
ACTION REQUIRED: City Council Approval
The City of Chanhassen Fire Department has received a request for
permission for a private fireworks display to be held at the Lake Minnewashta
Regional Park. The request is coming from Ms. Beth Ginther, who is hiring
Americana Fireworks to do the detonation.
The .Chanhassen Fire Department, Carver County Sheriff's Department, Water
Patrol Division, and Carver County Parks Department have certain
requirements, which must be complied with. In a letter from Beth Ginther, the
requirements for Fire Code compliance have been addressed to my
satisfaction.
The fireworks display 'was done last year at the same time and same location.
The only change may be the use of smaller mortars. Permission for the
fireworks must be approved by the Chanhassen City Council. Once approval
has been given by the City Council, it will then go to Carver County for
permission. I have reviewed the fire code requirements with Ms. Ginther, as
well as having her contact the water patrol division of the Carver County
Sheriff's Department to arrange for patrolling .of the lake.
I give permission on behalf of the Fire Department/Fire Code Requirements,
for Americana Fireworks to conduct the fireworks display. Once the City
Council gives its permission, I will pass it on to Beth Ginther to obtain
permission from Carver County.
