Regional Park - Whittaker explained that the County had reacted to the City's concerns about the Regional Park at a meeting December 18, 1980. The following positions were offered by the County: 1. Boat Access - The County said they would limit the access parking lot to 1 space per 10 acres of lake; and, that they would like to separate the boat launch from the rest of the park so that it might be kept open longer hours to serve fishermen before and after the Regional Par], hours. The City Council said it was opposed to any accesses other than the one south access from the park; and said that they thought it would be easier to control and police the boat launch if it were accessible from within the park. The Council went on to say that they still prefer using the DNR standard for the size of the parking lot, which is one car per 20 acres of lake surface. And, the Council said they still believe the boat launch ought to be limited to carry-over so that Lake Elmo is not over used. 2. Pedestrain Access - The County said that they would prefer no accesses to the park other than the main access from the south. Therefore, they did not feel it would be wise to have a Pedestrain access from the south end of Lake Elmo or any other neighborhood. The Council said that, to be consistent with this rational, they would recommend that their request for ( a pedestrain access be eliminated as long as the County eliminates separate accesses for boat launch or any other facility. In short, all the access should be from the south side of the park as stated in one above.
