REVIEW 15 HP BOAT LAUNCH RESTRICTION IN MINNEWASHTA REGIONAL PARK:
Liddicrat from Carver County were present at the meeting to discuss
this restriction from the ordinance because the Metro Council has a
cannot restrict the motor size on the lakes.

The 15 HP restriction was a way of insuring that access to the lake would not become a
problem for anyone. When the first Lake Study Group was formed, it did not expect the
15 HP restriction to be permanent but that it would suffice until a better answer could
be found. It was agreed that an advisory council would be set up with two people from
Chanhassen and a member from the Park Commission.
e
The master plan was refined and detailed and then was reviewed with the City and then
submitted to the Metro Council for their review. The Council has developed a set of
standards and the 15 HP restriction is not a standard size. The master plan states that
they will live up to the Conditional Use Permit Agreement with the condition that they
will look into the 15 HP restriction. If the access restriction is not resolved then
more funds possibily will not be forth corning.
The Metro Council would like to go ahead with the starting developments with the condition
that this restriction be resolved, or changed. Discussion with the Park Commission is the
first phase of changing any ordinance. A recommendation is then made to the Planning
Commission and then there are public hearings and a recommendation is then made to the
Council before a change can be made.
A motion was made by Brian Foltz that we make a recommendation to the Planning Commission
that Section 6.04 of the Conditional Use Permit issued for the Lake Minnewashta Regional
Park be stricken because of its discriminatory nature and that a surface water policy
usage ordinance applying to all Chanhassen lakes be implemented. The motion was seconded
by Michael Lynch. Motion approved with an abstaining vote from Jack Mauritz.
A motion was made by Tom Schoenecker that we make the final application for the 1983
Lawcon funds for Lake Ann and Lake Lucy. The motion was seconded by Brian Foltz. Motion
approved with an abstaining vote from Jack Mauritz.
Michael Lynch informed the Commission that the next joint meeting with Shorewood, Eden
Prairie and Chanhassen is set for September 29 to discuss the facility usage totals.
