Q (-(--- L 6t � c( <br />Petition to Maintain Ordinance Banning Mountain Biking <br />in Sunfish Park <br />We support the Lake Elmo long-standing policy and current ordinance banuiriginountain biking in Sunfish Park. We <br />support the original intent of the park for preservation of natural wilderness and passive usages of hiking/walking, <br />cross-country skiing, bird watching, photography, nature studies, picnicking, canoeing, and sailboating. <br />Mountain biking is not compatible with the intent for preservation of the woods. It diminishes and destroys the <br />peacefulness of a hike/walk, observation of wildlife and birds, and preservation of flora. The chance for increased <br />risk, and more importantly injury to a hiker/walker is a major concern and liability. Testimony has been presented <br />by the Nature Conservancy confirming the uniqueness and delicate nature of the woods in Sunfish Park. Mountain <br />biking would cause severe destruction and erosion to this unique topography. <br />We support the above usages to accomplish the preservation of the woods in Sunfish Park. <br />7 3 LF M ir: <br />lapao `Vl l 9(A S+ <br />d Y0 Y4,(is/�� <br />�677 / A,6 All %yam <br />ire/ —i.
