'December <br />7, ly~t:3 Park Hoard htinutc.~s <br />Page 2 <br />Andexson said the lake will be used for snowmobiling but it <br />will not be allowed in the. park.' t~.. <br />Gunderman asked what the implications would be if snowmobiling <br />were denied totally. <br />Carlson responded that-you would be denying recreation to some. <br />Snomobilers are not usually out of hand, rarely are there many <br />problems with them. <br />John Kelley agreed that snowmobilers are not usually a major <br />problem. <br />Van Hatten stated he is not a snowmobiler but does not feel <br />the privilege should be denied if it's not being abused.. Would <br />like to see a trail maintained along the edge of the. lake.. <br />Solberg agreed with Van Hatten, can't see a problem with the <br />snowmobilers. <br />Dahl had no comments except inquiring. what is meant by the <br />park being closed, what are the implications. <br />John Kelley felt it would be a horrendous problem to patrol <br />the park if it were closed. _ yn~,~~/ <br />Ken Simons said that -cross country skiin~,a ~.,. ..,,_.,_~ <br />"~'""'''~'`J because there is no signing tha ' ' t ~"~~" <br />vv~~JJ i9e in .the park. Snowmobilin e~:d-rna~ee will probably be <br />enforced but not cross country skiing. At the present time <br />it is not crucial that snowmobilers not use the park but when <br />- the park is complete there will not be any place for them to <br />drive. t <br />It's better to educate them now. <br />John Kelley-stated he would like something in writing from <br />Ramsey County regarding cross country skiing, snowmobiling <br />and whether the park will be open or closed. <br />Carlson stated that at the present time anyone found in the <br />park is tagged. Lf there is a change, Ramsey County should <br />send a letter to Jerry Hergeroun letting him know. <br />Carlson added that if snowmobiling were eliminated from the <br />lake it would .encourage them into the park because they have <br />no where else to go. If there were a trail in the park., it <br />would have to be groomed and well marked and this would be <br />very hard to maintain. There has been talk for years of a <br />snowmobile trail to Duluth. If that ever came into being, it <br />would be nice to have a corridor through the park to Hwy. 96. <br />If snowmobiles were eliminated completely, there would be a <br />real public relations problem. <br />Hogan stated that he is an ex-snowmbiler and has seen the <br />damage thc••{ cG~n do. F'c~c:•ls there should be no snowmobilinc~ <br />in the F~~+rk, oral ~;~ can the lake surface. <br />
