He stated the majority of the Peltier Lake Association Board met, per their bylaws, and passed a motion to come before the Lino Lakes City Council in an attempt to stop this ordinance. Mr. Lindner presented the Councilmembers with a letter of recommendation from the Peltier Lake Association Board. He stated that the Board has ample evidence to support the fact that the information presented to the Council has been presumptuous and misguided. He asked that a presentation regarding these concerns be scheduled for a future Council work session or meeting, prior to the March 11, 2002 public hearing. Mr. Lindner stated he believed that the Lakeshore property owners have not had an opportunity to discuss this issue, which he stated he felt was due to "secrecy" surrounding the proposal. Additionally, he stated the property owners have not been able to review the minutes of the February 6, 2002 work session, during which the ordinance was propose s to the Council. He stated many of the property owners feel they have been misrepresented by W » LeBlanc, and have expressed these concerns in letters, which he presented to the Councilmembers. Mr. Lindner stated he believed Mr. LaBlanc's intent was to _i restrictions on the northern portion of Peltier Lake, and to continue to pursue additional restother portions of the lake.

Mr. Lindner stated he would do so. George Lindy, 6823 East Shado \ eake Drive, expressed concern regarding a letter submitted from the Lino Lakes Environmental Board to the City Council. He felt that unsubstantiated conclusions had been drawn from information provided to the Environmental Board and that the subject letter was somewhat the basis of the proposed ordinance. He supported Mr. Lindner's comments that this issue should be further examined prior to the public hearing and that public comment should be allowed during the March 6th City Council work session. Mayor Bergeson noted Mr. Lindy serves as the Chairman of the Park Board, but was in attendance this evening as a concerned citizen, not in representation of the views of the Park Board. Councilmember Carlson noted the February 6, 2002 work session minutes will be considered for approval this evening, providing the minutes are not pulled from the agenda. 2
