The City Planner. Char,jes Di'llerud, explained the change under discussion..
in terms of, quantitadi e :me sures. For ,example, ,the change in guiding
would represent a charge inithe numbei of dwelling, units fe'om a possible
907 to 1,574 to zero. Popylatlon would be, lessened"' by appmoximately
5,500 from, the, current plrol;ections of 135,000 to 2009000 1',,,q the future.
Population right noxi, is 4pproximately 25.030.,) Relevent also would be
the change in terms of waste water discharge which, v#it0 the;,perk,.,woulda
amo R c,the# of,_approxlmatelyr)1 0>d lling''u'nf s as opposed to the 907
to ,574 units- of waste water discharge reaul ting from &i;ll ing units in
the LA guiding.
Mr., Cliff French, representative of `the Hennepin .County Pari Reserve District
HCPRD),,A nformed the audience what the HCPRO does and 'wV f exists. It Was
stated that this is the only district'of its kind ir, the ,-sta,toeJ \
Mr. French stated that their purpose is nod,-thR durlica ion of,the local or
municipal park facilities. The primary purpose is the acquisition and
development of large nature areas and making same accessible to the people
of,the County. This Is particularly so as they are located on likes and
streams. Mr.'French explained'the road access system thus far planned for
the park and the activities which could take place and -where they vrauld take
place within the park.
Mr. French stated that the location of Medicine, lake is unique to -the HCPRD
in that most of thelto parks now lie on the out1,,/ing areas of tie county.
Hennepin County's mid -point geographically happens to beflym juth, which 1s
surrounded by two cities 'in all four directions. This was oae of, the reasons,
for the HCPRD's interest in the site.
Mr. Otto Christensen, another representative of the NCPRD, gave a slide
Presentation on the lake and its potential use as a park, including activities
that may exist, boat launching sites, a schedule for acquisition of the land,
etc.
Mayor Hilde opened the Public Hearing at 8:30 p.m.
Mr. Norman Menke, 3050 Larch Lane North, President of tho Aj;sociation of
Medicine Lake Area Citizens read a ''Statement of Policy from AMLAC Pertaining
to Acquisition of Homes in Proposed Medicine Lake County Park Area" a copy of
which is attached hereto and shall be an official part of theooR- minutes.

Mr. Tim HvIt, 3800 Union Terrace Lane, expressed concern with the access that
was proposed for 36th Avenue North, in particular Mhst avenues of traffic ,
control would be used should a park access be made available on that street.
Manager Willis assured Mr. Holt that 4raffic control would be a City responsibility
regardless of the type of development. The exact tarp: of traffic control would be
difficult to predict at this point in time,
Mr. French stated that their plan wrjalo have thoso people coming to the park Item
farther away than Plymouth using 1-494 to County Rodd 9 for park access.
A "Park Access Road" would be constructed from County Road 9 for that purpose,

Mr. Berg, 3820 Trenton Lane, had, several questions with respect
to t proposed park, 1.) .1rwl about the potential limiting of
hors power, on power,, boats, 2: Who' will decide 'what specific uses
the Ipark wi1,1 provide. 3.) T expansiotl progr k\ f the park was
un0ear and needed further explanation, Ile also ex ressed concern
wi h the access, on 36ih Avenue' North, \\
M Iyor Hilde responded to the question of the boat lau `h site and they
qotential limitingof horsepower, statin :hat it Was a uestion +he
Council had been iscussin for some thee,', Previously there regy Me two
beaches. one on the east side and one on tyle west side of Medicine lake.
The City undertook to ,improve and enlarge tnese beaches anwas able
to do so through `securing a LAWCON grant paging for almost11%-,of the
cost, When the beaches were completeds it appeard impossible to
i coordinate the activities of the beach* and boat launching as hell.
in the common area, One reoson for this was,`the fumes and oil(iiick
i the ,swimmers and users of the,, beach would be sub iected to in the
case of a boat launch facility. Another was the safety factor involved.
Therefore, the coat launching facilities were nosed, The City, at the
time. did not own any other Suitable land to develop a boat launch
facility, The City discussed the problem with tye State Department of
Natural Resources; shortly thereafter. the HCPRD\1aoproached the City
with the proposal for a park, Mayor Hilde-stated that the City Council
had come to.no hard and fast OecisiOn about the lako as yet. Mayor
Hilde stated that it was his feeling the Council was',leaning toward
a reasonable limitation on the size of motor to be allowed on,the lake
but that nothing hei been decided, He stated further that the Council
was considering a 9.indfather situation with persons living on the lake
to allow them to use their larger boats on -he lake until„ a certain
period ir, the future,
Mr. Herb Leger, City Attorney, stated that in checking the situation
as to the limitation of power boat' and the ultimate authority for
such usage, it was found that the 1973 legislature adopted a law
stating that if a body of water is surrounded by more than one
municipality that the jurisdiction over the surface use regulation
of the lake will lie with the County, not with the municipalities,
With respect to Mr. Berg's question about the potential uses of the
lake and who will be deciding what those uses shall be, Mayor Hilde
a,lswpnvd that it will be the HCPRD Board of Commissioners who will
determine the final plan for activities that will take place 1n,the
park. There will btu adequate opportunity for citizen input at such
time as the decision is made on park activities, tor. French, with
respect to Mr. Berg's question on the expansion of the park, stated
that the HCPRD tries to acquire the haties or the land on the basis of
timing, not only for the owners of the land but ilso for the County,
insofar as their monies are available to acquirr, the land for the project.
Mr. Roy Heinrich, 3750 Trenton Lane, stated that he would prefer the
area for the perk be kept as primitive as possible. He also stated his
concerns about the 36th Avenue North access that was proposed, Mr. Heinrich
stated that he basically supports the idea of a park at the location
proposed.

Mr. Dean Johnson, 3190 East Medicine Lake Boulevard, expressed concern
about the 36th Avenue- North access. He stated that he felt it should not
even be considered as a secondary access point to the lake. He felt there
would be difficulty with a major access from County Road 9, unless an
adequate "Park access road" could be constructed for the traffic to be
encountered: Kr., -Johnson stated that he felt the park access road ought
to be ready before the park would be .-ipened.
Mr. French stated that the completion of the park access road from County
Road 9 would be difficult to determine. There could be no guarantee front
the County as to timing on the construction of that road.
Mr. Tota Wanous, 4015 Trenton Lane, stated that he felt Plymouth would be
very foresighted in adopting the plan for the park at Medicine Lake, and
that the plan for the homeowners on the land to be aquired (than they be
allowed to stay until 1990) was not an unrealistic one: He also stated
J that V felt the granJfather clause for the residents with respectr to the
horsepower usage was fair and necessary. Mr. Nanous added that it mould
behoove the County to make the boat launching facilities a roN..iaer- ono
priirity in development of the lake. His only point of concern with respect
to the entire plan was the access to the park from 36th Avenue North,
Mr. Ken Nelson, 2100 Pineview Lane, stated, that he and hik, neighbors had,
called both Council members and City Staff but that not once had anyone
mentioned the potential leanings of the Council on the limitation of the
size of power bents:, He stated that he felt this should have, been an
official announcement by the City if the decision hod been made.
Mayor Hilde emphasised the fact that no decision had been made by the Council
but only his feell'Pgs as to how the Council was leaning on that issue. It
was not a decision that was mode by the Council.
Mr. Nelson asked where the City of Pls%auth received Its authority from to
close the lake to the public. He also stated that some of the resort owners
around the lake told him they would lose their permits should they allow any
publtw access from their property. He stated that he felt therq should be
some way to satisfy all the people and interest groups involved in this
situation. Mr. Nelson suggested that a referendum be held on the issue.
With respect to the closing of the public boat access, Mayor HIlde responded
that the City is not withholding anything in terms of providing access to the
lAke, 'he Cit) was in a situation where it did not feel the boat acczss reoint
should ce between the two leaches. Right now, the City simply does not have
enough land t9i develop a boat access. The Mayor stated that the City was
looking to the County for possible boat launching sites. should their park
Proposal materializeb or, depending on what happens with the County proposal,
the Department of Natural Resources, for a mutual effort with the State
to develop wither access point.
With respect to the comment Mr. Neilson made about the resort owners being
threatened. the Mayon asked Mr. Nelson to be sure to give him the details
of this situation so that it may be investigated. The Mayor stated that
he was not aware of any "threats" being made against the resort owners by
the City. Mayor hilde added that the City had just hired a consultant to
meet with the neighbors to gain their input as to the ways they would like

Mr. Paul Molnau, 3230 Jonquil lane, stated that previously he had been
opposed to the park idea, altogether; however, hb could see some merit
to the HCPRD plan. The presentation by HCPRD may, he stated, be
unrealistic since it will be impossible to avoid the beer cans,
littering, etc. that comes with a public park, especially one intended
for such high use.
Mr. Karl 6ronquist, 263 Peninsula Road, stated that the only reason he
and his family roved to Medicine Lake was to water skto They have made
e tremendous investment in,equipment and bats for water skiing. He
stated that he ftlt,the Council should consider a grandfather clause
with respect to those who have made such investments in waterskling as
well as homporlers.
Mr. Mike Mertes 6956 Adair Avenue, Brooklyn Park, was concerned with
the lack of public boat access. He is a scuba diver and has been closed
off +groin every lake 1n the community. Now ftdicine Lake is closed `too.
Also,v with re,',pect to the two areas, the HORD is anticipating for bat
launthing facilities, he stated that he had been to the sites and felt
they had severe weed problems, too severe to allow boat launching without
suffl'clent change in the land. Also, the water at the sites is very
shallow. He stated that he felt the boat eccess points should be researched
further.
Mr. Mill England, 3350 Jonquil Lane expressed concern with the access to
the park frn 36th Avenue North. He stated! that it was his opinion that
once people had found a convenient route to the park, they would continue
to use it. Also, with respect to the acquisition of the land of the
homeowners, Mr. England felt the County should be required -o buy the
homes at a reasonable market valO from the owners in the event they would
tm unable to sell to another buyer. He stated that he felt the possibility
of a park would prohibit buyers ft w wanting to own land or homes for such
a short period of time knowing it 'soon would be turned over for another
purpose.
Mr. Leonard Hollister, 3220 6 Jonquil Lane, stated that he resided in a
07 area with respect to acquisition priority; also, he is surrounded by dl.
He wou;d appreciate knowing what types of activities would be surrounding
his home should the park be approved. Mr. Hollister also expressed
concern with the potential access to the park from 36th Avenue North,
Mr. French stated, with respect to the activities that would be surrounding
Mr. Hollister, that no final plan had been set and 1t would be premature
at this point to give him a definite answer.
Mr. Bob Sciribnor, 2015 Lancaster Lare, stated that he felt it was essential
that the park kccesc road from County Road 9 be constructed and ready for
use before the park is opened to the public. He further stated that he
felt the Sfdte and the County ought to have responsibility for such a park,
not the City of Plymouth.

Mr. Dennis Dorweilerd representing Fanners ttate Bank of Hamel which owns

the County'vould puy the, hoes of owners in the park area if the Owners
were unable to f i'tO..*:-rgother buyer.

14yor Hilde asked Mr. Frenc if, the HCPRD had any written policy an the
bugling of hornet on the land the County intends to,ac yuirw. Mr. French ,
restated that it was his feeling that such a policy for.reserve funds
stould be made; however, np governmental body can be forced to we what it
is financially unable to d'os HCM does not presently have fuhds for a
Reserve to buy homes of owners who are unable to find buyers.
Mr. Doti, Noxwelll, 2630 East Medicine lake Boulevard, supported the comments
of the ANLAC homeowners association as stated by Mr. Nommen Menke earlier
in the evening. He added that he felt the power of condeenation should not
be used against the homeowners but that the County should adhere to the
statement made about allowing homeowners to remain where they are until at
least 1990.
Mrs. Sandy Beier, 244 Peninsula Road, a Councilwoman in the City of Medicine
Lakes stated that she would not like to see restrictions or, water skiing.
She stated Ott she felt :he was speaking for a large number of residents
in her Ci14 about this Issue.
Mr. Larry Haeg, Commissioner of the HCPRD,,,stated that the HCPRD was being.
faced with some very practical, yet difficult, decisions that needed to
be made with respect to the priorities for use of their funds. The HCPRD
1s at a stage of development on most of its park reserves right now. However,
should they decide to aazquire the Medicine Lake land for a parks monies would
need to be diverted from development to acquisition which would delay the
further developent of saw of the parks where the land has already been
acquired. Mr. Itaeg stated that he felt the Commission would like to take a
long, hard look at the question of funding this potential park before any
camnitment woul;J be made. Mr. Haeg further stated that it was his understanding
that the City K.%0 extended sewer and water ,,o the area and, therefore, the
Commission wou`a not want to discourage development in this area.
The Mayor concluded the hearing Ly stating that the City was trying not to
delay this proctSs any more than necessary. The Council and Staff realized
that some of the land owners were in awkward positions because of the
sitt atlrn.
Mayor Hilda closed the Public Hearing at 10:30 p.m. stating that a excision
would not be made until the Planning Commission had considered the issue at
its next meeting on June 18, 1915 and had made a recommendation to the City
Council for their action.

Inasmuch as residents of the area being considered by Hennepin County 'ark Reserve
District for a County Park selected the area as a place to live becausi At affords
the finer things of lige is well ap being a desirable and attractive place top
live represdPtIng the interests of these residents, submits this statement
of policy -:egardtitig the Co3unty's acquiring said residential property:
The Plyr vuth City Council should approve the Park Project but with those
Stipulations:
1. The County Park Reserve District should sgrje to waive their
right of corAwnation on residences, owned and homesteaded by
current owner-,,, until 1990,
1\40 2. The County Park Reserve District should agree not to develop
or utilize acquired residential property unless in so doing
they do not ,iterfere with the use, enjoyment, possession or
value of the remaining residential properties.
3. Tire County Park Reserve District should maintain in attractive
condition any residential properties acquired whether va4,,tted
or leased.
The purpaso of these stipulations is to assure owner residents at least 15 years
of continuing residency in the Park Arkir1 if they so desire. Such assurances
would 'move any of the anxiety among those owner residents who am not prepared
to give up the luxury of lake living and vacate their premises. We trust the
Plymouth City Council %kll make this "Statement of Policy" a part of the conditions
of acquisition of the Park Area by the Oounty Park Ro4erve lKstrict.
