DNR•8 STATE OF DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL Box 46; Centennial Bldg., St. Paul, MN ~E; 612-296-3336 RESOURCES 55119 Rle No. - - - _ _ .. -- - - _ ..March 26, 1982 Mr. Maurice Anderson Director, Parks and Recreation City of New Brighton 1975 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112.. Maurice: After reviewing your ordinance proposal on Long Lake the WSUM Task Force has made the following comments anal suggested changes (I numbered them on the ordinance to make it simpler): 1~J. Sec. 19=30 = Definitions. - You should eliminate the definition of "wake" here. It is somewhat vague and is not provided for in our rules. The definition of "slow-no wake" should be sufficient for your ordinance. • !2j Sec. 19-31 (Slow-) No Wake Zones. The word "slow" should be added here as indicated on the ordinance. ~3 J A phrase could be added here exempting "watercraft launching or landing a skier by the most direct route to open water." Also, see the attached sheet showing a suggested for~rnat for a sign at the public access which-could eliminate the need for buoys marking the 10(1-foot zone. You still may need a few, however. ~j The elevation here is not specific enough. Our Metro Region ydrology staff recommends 466.2 feet above Mean Sea Leval Datum measured at a specific reference point. A letter or memo on this subject will accompany or shortly follow this letter. 5. In both c. and d. the times. should be changed to 12 noon through or to) 6:00 p.m. This will conform to 6 MCAR § 1.0222 E.1.. ~6J Sec. 19-32 - Prohibited Wakr_. = There is some question as to whether this provision is necessary. A suggestion - how about combining 19-31 and 32 as follows: Sec. 19-31 Slow-No Wake 'ones - It shall be unlawful to operate a watercraft while exceeding a slow-no wake speed: a. Within 100 feet of shore. . • b. When the lake elevation exceeds. . c. From sunset Friday. . d. On all legal holidays. . AN EOUAL:OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER it .
