VISITOR PRESENTATIONS:
Tom Devine, 7640 South Shore Drive representing the South Lotus Lake Association,
stated he was not aware of the water treatment program unfolding in their neighborhood
until Friday night, but the association had prepared to do a brief overview of the South
Lotus Lake Association's concerns relative to the park/tennis court and boat landing
areas. He's had conversations with the Carver County Sheriff's Office, specifically Jim
Olson about what can be done with enforcement of parking at the boat ramp. He talked
about the history involved with planning and construction of the boat ramp, park and
neighborhood and the promises that were made at that time. He voiced his
disappointment in learning of the water treatment plant only last Friday night from Mayor
Furlong that there's a decision to build or do something there and the mechanics is really
what's on the table right now without getting the neighborhood involved. The last issue
was the political effort it took from the neighborhood to build the trail along Highway
101 and his hopes that there isn't a political backlash happening from that effort. Staff

Furlong thanked Senator Ortman for her efforts with the 101 gap project, stating she was
instrumental in helping coordinate with MnDot, the County and the City to pull together
