16 JS I will direct it be received as an official document by the council. GB I would like to add over and aboice what the letter states first of a.ll let-mc convent about it, that ~yf~ these two people have been wa.tchikng the $~~g I'll lake which you might call caxing for the lake for quite some time. They are in tune I think, with what it has been to them a very beautiful and a great place to be. Es;ecially in Bally mornings, 1 a.te afternoons and of course occasionally during the afternoon when the hills are covered with ~ beautiful sunset a.nd ah the idea. of a. tranquility is there the hills. I think this is available to more people who are not on the lake and a.h would encourage poeple as-mach-aa-poasYble- to keep that area as much as possiblea wild life area area-that so that those people who do not other wise live near the park, could also enjoy it. Their letter does refer to the number of snowmobiles and bikes,and motorcycles that are now traversing the area and tearing it up. The fence thereby is a necessary ingredient o~hlch should be forbidden ~~' it They also refer to the possibility that if a. tn~Zmper ofboats a.re let on the lake , such as a formal, structured boat ramp,` e possible co nclusion is that without due regard for the safety of people which can happen when people do not know each other that then the poasttle recourse would be to f ina.l cut off all boats. That meaning then that a formal structure damp was never necessary. So we would like to a-sk in that sense to go slow on any formal structured ramp Policing would not only be necessary as we see it in the' active or passive park not only on the park itself but also on the water so that a number of boats aren't out there there may be a. need for further policing. So at the time that this is made pubic and it becomes public knowledge that this is available to them, it is very ,possible that the ~elleing-aopal~-sill-have this is policing action will have to be addressed. I think that in a sense states what the letter is about. If you care to Dorothy, Bob... Just one point if I ma.y on behelf of the Concept pla-n itself, it refers to the lake as being a, 2Z0 ~.cre fish lake I have no objections to the 'fish lake' but the Rice Creek W ter Shed District semms to say that porion its 184 acres. ~~ I'm not sure where the 'L'LO acres has come from. JS Is that a question? Naybe we can get that answered. Maurie? Do you know what the acreage is? Yes WE}~ ju~~t took it off of a an applicaaion clipped to the Federal Government which is probably derived from a coupld of studies dog by the DNR which....... and we probably took it out of then, I don;t know. It was from some source of information. JSs Okay, can we make a note Naurie, to check that please? Any other questions? Ah would like to state on behalf then of the factor and maybe others that possibly the entire Concept ~~~~ should be reviewed for its en~rironmental ~~~ct and thereby would ask that it be, excuse me, would ask that it be essed to the environmental council if you will to preserve that entity, to allow the environmental group to review ~}gsConeept a.ndwhatever else they to submit would a.t this time.
