Re: Lake Jane Petition to reinstate"no wake"until noon
Nearly 80 percent(78 percent)or 43 of 55 home owners who live on the shores of Lake Jane are in favor of reinstating
the sunset to noon no-wake restriction and have signed the attached petition. The petition also represents seven of 11
lakeshore properties without homes.
Historically, Lake Jane was a private lake. About 30 years ago,an agreement was made to add the public boat landing
access in return for watershed corrections that provide an overflow outlet when lake waters are high. With that, came
rules that protect not only the people utilizing the lake, but also the natural resource. A city committee representing
several lakes in the city studied the issue and established a final compromise of no-wake activities from sunset until
noon.
In 2011,a lake resident and current council member presented a petition to the city council showing that a majority of
Lake Jane property owners were in favor of changing the wake restriction from noon to 9 am. The council approved the
change based on this majority. After a summer of following this new ruling,the same council member proposed
changing the time from 9 a.m.to sunrise. However,the majority of lake property owners want the original rules
reinstated with no wake from sunset until noon the following day and have signed the attached petition.
Since the new ruling was not posted on the DNR website in 2012,only a few boaters knew of the change. They did begin
skiing at 9 a.m.,and fishermen reported the need to vacate the lake when the noise and wave action scared off the fish.
When the new ruling is posted,the extra pressure of high-speed boats in the morning will make the situation worse,
since the lake is not large enough to accommodate no-wake and wake activities simultaneously. Fishing,sailing,
canoeing, kayaking,and the popular stand-up paddle board activities all require fewer waves than what is possible when
multiple high-speed water-ski boats are circling the lake. Finally,the idea of starting the louder wake activities at sunrise
is inconsiderate to area residents who live near the lake.
While the lake is a public lake, it is important to keep in mind that the people who live on the lake have a strong,vested
interest in how the lake is utilized. They deal with shoreline erosion, invasive species,and trash caused by boat traffic in
the summer and ice fishing in the winter. Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter,
The Lake Jane Property Owners
