March 20, 2007
I. CALL TO ORDER
The Lake Advisory Committee (LAC) Meeting was called to order at 4:30 P.M.
Members present: Dan O'Keefe, Harry Alcorn, Donna Mankowski.
Others present: Ross Bintner, Water Resources Engineer, Ken Hedberg, Council
Liaison;
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion to approve prior meeting minutes, Mankowski, Alcorn -Pass (4:0)
III. OLD BUSINESS
A. Winter Access Issue: Potential Shoreline Parking Ordinance.
Bintner introduced topic saying that the LAC was struggling with the
original recommendation to the City Council being that it was rejected by
the DNR. Still able to be achieved by regulation would be some
restriction to parking on land, near shore. Bintner stated further that the
staff report lays out an approach to regulate parking near shore in an
attempt to limit damage by amending the traffic code to include a winter,
no near shore parking restriction.
Alcorn asked for the definition of shoreline. Bintner said that he would
check to be sure shoreline is defined in reference and if it wasn't then he
would define it in the ordinance. Alcorn asked that police or sheriff would
look at this prior to taking it to the City Council.
Hedberg asked how vehicle was defined. Bintner stated that the traffic
code references large portions of state traffic law and that the definition of
vehicles was the same, meaning that snowmobiles and ATV's would not
be included.
Bintner summarized the staff recommendation saying that he believes
that the need for the ordinance was intermittent and event specific. Not a
lot of good would come out of it, and not a lot of burden would either.
This would not have prevented the damage of towing vehicles that
occurred in the 05-06 winter, but would eliminate some of the grey area
around land ownership and trespassing law that officials have highlighted
in the past.
O'Keefe said it would prevent damage that occurred at Sand Point Beach.
Alcorn wondered if 20 would be enough for the situation at Sand Point
Beach. Bintner stated that restrictions could be put in place regardless of
this ordinance because it is City Property. Hedberg stated that this does
not address all the issues at Shady Beach Access but does address the
one that we can.
O'Keefe said he wanted to get more feedback from those who would be
affected, but said he couldn't think where homeowners would really want
to park on their beaches in the winter.
Bintner summarized the City's progress on pursuing the other two
recommendations the LAC forwarded to the Council saying the DNR
allowed the opening of Sand Point DNR access for winter use and
wanted to talk further on related issues of the access.
IV. OTHER BUSINESS
A. New meeting format and location
The LAC discussed changes to the meeting big and small based on the
change in meeting venue. Hedberg explained the microphone system.
Bintner said we would plan do two taped meetings prior to our first
broadcast. Alcorn suggested that roving microphone may provide a
more informal approach for people to speak from their chairs.
V. STAFF UPDATE
A. Webcam recommendation /Update
Bintner explained that the LACs recommendation was forwarded on to
the Council and approved. Alcorn asked for our goal to get it done.
Bintner said that the goal was to have to running by Lakefront Days and
hopefully sooner. The LAC asked for regular updates on the progress.
Alcorn recommended some sort of web event. The LAC asked that
possibilities for commercial partnership be left on the table.
B. April 2 Joint LAC/PAC/CC meeting
Bintner previewed the LAC/PAC/CC annual meeting as a time for the CC
and its advisory committees. Alcorn and O'Keefe would work on the
slideshow presentation.
C. April MS4 Public Meeting
Bintner said the MS4 permit held by the City requires an annual public
hearing on the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The City
Council normally held the hearing but participation was minimal. The
reason to go to the LAC would be to provide more detail and more
opportunity for public interaction. The public hearing will take place at
5:00 April 17.
VI. NEW BUSINESS

Memorandum
DATE: March 16, 2007
TO: Lake Advisory Committee.
FROM: Ross Bintner, Water Resources Engineer
CC: Larry Poppler, Assistant City Engineer
RE: Requested Staff Recommendation.
HISTORY
At it's February 19, 2007 Meeting the LAC asked for staff to outline and recommend
options to substitute a previous LAC recommendation to City Council that was intended
to provide a shoreline buffer and prevent beach damage from vehicle parking. This
memo serves to outline the issue and provides the LAC with staff's recommendation for
course of action.
On November 6, 2006 Staff presented a list of recommendations to the City Council for
consideration. These three recommendations were intended to help balance the public
and private property concerns regarding winter ice access at Sand Point Beach and
Shady Beach. Recommendation number 1 was presented as follows:
Recommendation I: The Lake Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council
direct staff to create a "no near-shore parking" ordinance a minimum distance of 75 feet
from shore.
What issues the recommendation attempts to mitigate or resolve:
This recommendation is an attempt to give homeowners along the Lakeshore a buffer
from vehicles parked on the ice to prevent damage to shore and move noisy activity away
from homes.
Background information as to why the LAC chose this over other alternatives:
The alternative allows the sheriff to regulate parking near the shoreline. Provisions could
be written that regulates how close vehicles can be parked together. The alternative to
this ordinance is the status quo, which the LAC felt was unacceptable.
Issues relating to the recommendation:
Coordination with the DNR and sheriff will be needed to craft an ordinance that is legal
and enforceable. Potential liability issues exists that must be explored before approving a
potential on ice parking ordinance as well.
This recommendation was pursued by the City through the use of an ordinance limiting
parking within 150' of shore. This option was eventually rejected by the DNR.
G\Water Bodies\I,AC\LAC ISSUES\2006\Winter Lake Access\070316 Staff Recommendation Memo.DOC
MOVING FORWARD
Three goals were,targeted by the 150 on-ice parking limitation. They were:
• Prevent clustered parking near shore.
• Promote safer use of ice surface.
• Provide a buffer from noise and visual impact of parking on-ice
• Balance motorized and non-motorized recreation by preventing damage to near
shore skating rinks.
• Prevent damage to shorelines from parking on shore
The inability to limit on-ice parking makes meeting the first four goals difficult through
regulation alone. However, it is still possible to regulate parking on shore.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE
The proposed ordinance would be part of section 901, Traffic Code. This section of the
code references Minnesota statute and defines a motor vehicle as a passenger vehicle
licensed and meant primarily for travel along highways. The definition does not include
snowmobiles or ATVs.
Attached you will find a copy of the proposed ordinance, however in summary it reads:
901.208 Winter Shoreline Parking Restrictions: In order to prevent damage to
shoreline or beach and damage to water quality resulting from shoreline
erosion, it is unlawful for any Person to stop, stand or park any Vehicle or
permit it to stand on land within 20' of the shoreline of any Lake. This
restriction will remain in effect from November 1St until March 31St of the
following year. A violation of this subsection shall be a petty misdemeanor.
The ordinance limits parking on land within 20' of the shoreline between November 1
and March 31. It is intended to clear up confusion about property ownership that has
troubled law enforcement regarding trespassing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In the opinion of staff, the need for this ordinance is intermittent and location and
weather dependant. Shoreline damage from parking is an isolated and event specific
occurrence. The winter of 2005-2006 saw beach damage at Sand Point Beach and
after the towing of vehicles that fell through the ice. If this ordinance were in place at
that time, it could have only prevented the damage at Sand Point Beach. The LAC will
have to weigh the potential benefit of this limitation versus the citywide limitation.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2007
AGENDA #: 7B
PREPARED BY: ROSS BINTNER, WATER RESOURCES ENGINEER
AGENDA ITEM: LAKE CLEAN UP DAY PROCLAMATION -JUNE 9, 2007
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The Prior Lake Lake Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council
lend its support to the efforts of the Prior Lake Association in cleaning up Prior
Lake by proclaiming June 9, 2007, Lake Cleanup Day.
History
The Prior Lake Lake Advisory Committee (LAC) has been in contact with
citizens interested in organizing a Scuba dive event on Prior Lake. At its
November 15, 2005, meeting, the LAC was introduced to the possibility by
Steve Berg, a citizen of Prior Lake, who had participated in a similar scuba
lake cleanup on Lake Minnetonka.
The Prior Lake Association held its first event on June 10, 2006, called "Dive
the Lake, Lake Cleanup Day in Prior Lake." The event was a coordinated
effort of private business, lake residents, and scuba divers. The effort
accomplished it's goals to remove trash from the lake bed and draw publicity to
the problem of litter accumulating in Prior Lake. This event was run through
efforts of members of the Prior Lake Association and volunteers, with support
of Captain Jack's and Evergreen, a local garbage hauler. The scuba event
was staged out of Captain Jack's where dive teams loaded equipment and
disperse to various points on the lake. Prizes were awarded for unusual items,
most valuable, and most trash collected.
Current Circumstances
The Prior Lake Association will be holding a second annual event on June 9,
2007 and have again asked for City support. This agenda items proposes to
again proclaim a "Lake Cleanup Day in Prior Lake." This event will be timed to
coincide with the Prior Lake Associations 2"d Annual "Dive the Lake" event.
As part of "Lake Cleanup Day in Prior Lake," residents will be asked to support
the effort by removing debris from their shorelines, helping to clean up public
shoreline, or pick up litter in drainage ways that flow to our lakes. Educational
information about litter cleanup in the watershed will be included in the
announcement.
Issues
This is the second year of this program and as such, the focus will be on Prior
Lake. It is our goal in future years to expand the effort to other lakes as well.

- - CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MARCH 5, 2007
AGENDA #: 5 G
PREPARED BY: ROSS BINTNER, WATER RESOURCES ENGINEER
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION GRANTING THE PRIOR LAKE
LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LAC) AUTHORITY TO HOLD AN ANNUAL
PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED BY THE CITY'S GENERAL STORMWATER
PERMIT FOR SMALL MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM
(MS4).
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for City Council to approve a resolution
granting the LAC authority to hold an annual public hearing which is required
by the MS4 permit held by the City.
HiStOry
The City of Prior Lake holds a General Stormwater Permit for Small Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). This permit is a requirement of the
Clean Water law and is administered by the State of Minnesota through the
• Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). As part of the permit the City
was required to create a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP)
and hold an annual hearing to receive comment on the program. In previous
years a summary of activities was presented to the City Council and the
Council held a public hearing to receive comments on the program. In recent
years there has been no public participation and no comments were received
on the plan.
Current Circumstances
In an effort to promote public awareness and participation the informational
meeting and the public hearing could be held by the LAC to allow more time
and detail in the presentation of the program, and allow the a more informal
opportunity for feedback from residents. The permit does not require that the
City Council hold the public hearing and does not prevent it from being held a
committee level.
The 2007 annual public hearing is planned to take place at the April 17'h LAC
meeting, held in the City Council chambers.
ISSUES: This effort is intended to follow the goals of 2030 Vision. Through a more
aggressive promotion of the meeting and relating the discussion of
programmatic elements of the SWPPP to the boarder goals of the community
we hope to promote more awareness and elicit participation of residents.
FINANCIAL The SWPPP is a rigorous program intended to prevent storm water pollution
IMPACT: and has real financial costs, however; any changes recommended through the
LAC public hearing will first be analyzed by City Staff. Any subsequent

modification to the SWPPP, resulting from public input will need to be

ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a resolution granting the LAC authority to hold an annual public
hearing required by the MS4 permit.
2. Deny this item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
3, Table this item until some date in the future.

The following is a review of the 2000 "Comprehensive Lake Management Plan for Upper
and Lower Prior Lake" and it's the predecessor "Water Resource Management, A Guide
of a Balanced Future" which was the founding document of the Prior Lake Lake
Advisory Committee.
1990 WRM:
This document was a report prepared after an extended committee process that reviewed
four major categories of issues.
• Water Level
• Water Quality
• Water Use
• Governance
Over 30 people from varied backgrounds took part in the process, including private
citizens, engineers, law enforcement and DNR representatives. The charge laid down
was broad but the consensus was clear: lakes, wetlands and streams are this cities
principal natural resource and make this community special; their protection and
improvement is essential.
This document served to lay out a consensus opinion of how to address lake management
issues at the time. The following is a brief point by point summary of major topics under
each category.
2000 CLMP:
This document was a report prepared by the LAC with input from DNR, WD, County
and citizen groups. Under this generation of the report, five categories were established
not including recommendations for implementation or education initiatives there were
also recommended. The categories were ranked by order of importance as determined by
a survey to residents, they were:
1. Water Quality
2. Lake Level Management
3. Surface Water Regulation
4. Shoreland Preservation
5. Land Use Practices

Ordinance ...
Ross:
Our Reg. Enf. Supervisor agreed with your comments and I have attached another
version without the OHW level reference, but left in my attempt to better define the
shoreline. This one would need our approval.
Feel free to monkey around with the wording if you think there may be something
clearer - like saying "shoreline" and then defining it??
Kim
»> "Ross Bintner" <rbintnerC~CityofPRIORLAKE.com> 4/10/2007 8:34 AM »>
Kim,
Thank you for your review.
The intent of this ordinance is to give law enforcement a method short of enforcing
trespassing law to keep people from parking on land near shore.
Since ice regularly is below the OWH we propose to regulate that area from the
ice/land interface or "shoreline" landward 20'. For example, if ice elevation was
901.0 a portion or all of the 20' parking restriction could occur under the 904
dependent on the topography of the shore in a given area.
Often lots are platted down to the shoreline and the only issue is that enforcement
personnel have no way to tell property ownership in the field. Other cases, where
lots are platted short of the shoreline, there is a public or no-mans land between
water and lot where trespassing law does not apply.
This ordinance seeks to clear up this confusion and give law enforcement a uniform
standard that prevents parking within 20' of shore without getting into the sticky
property ownership issue.
The proposed changes you suggest create a gap between the ice elevation and the OWH
which defeats the purpose of the ordinance we were proposing. I agree that the
language can be made clearer, but on the point of restricting land parking under the
OWH, we still need your feedback.

I sent your draft out to some of the respective DNR Area and Regional staff and
received comments back from our hydro. and reg. enf.
supervisor. They felt (as did I) that just the term "shoreline" somehow left much to
be desired. Perhaps something like the changes I made on your draft attached. It
could probably still use some tweaking to make it clearer that the prohibited area
is above the OHWL and within 20 feet (shoreward of the point where the ice begins).

If this ordinance affects the area only above the OHWL, it would likely not require
DNR approval.
