Jerry Bonneau wanted to know how close the turn - around would be to his property and also what they would do about the noise problem. Mrs. Zvirbulis was concerned about where the people would get into their boats once they launched, she thought they would be letting; their boats drift to the property and board from there. . Mike Markeil stated that they could put'in a dock for temporary loading and. 1 unloading. Guna Konters was concerned with the increased amount of oil and gas going into the Jake and garbage being thrown into the lake. t> Nancy Zywotko .'asked the member of the Council if they remembered stating that there wolj�'i d never be a boat launch at this site. City Manager McGurie stated that he was not a member of the Council but he was'present at 'the meeting when Sand Pointe was discussed, and .that he did , not recall any agreement that the City PaCk Land in quest !on "woui'd not be� x o used for parking, in fact some of that land has been used for overflow,} ` parking for the beach and he did `not recall, any agreement what the use would l be. ;f , } F She then asked Councilman Watkisn. i ' Watkins stated that he recalled that we said that _there would be no boat ,! Y launching from Sande Po irate Beach.

John Budley from the Prior Lake Sportment's Club stated that the local club supports this project and would like to see a'public access go in. Mary Bonneau- stated that she didn't think thatany of the people that came here, had the idea that we didn't want people on the lake, we agree we do, need an access, the reason that they're here is to ask the'Councilmembers to { not go back on''their word from 3 years ago and tb think of the safety points c .,' at Sand Pointe. r ` Fred Fey stated,that the Council did not romi'se the would not p y put an access a. :. on Sand Pointe Beach , there is no access` Sand Pointe Beach, this fs.on a different se he also wanted to speak on hehalf of the Prior Lake r Sportmen's that,are 'hare., granted there„is problems where ever you go you have pigso you'll have<themwhere ever you put an access, you will always have people who don''t care but right= .now the garbage problem is being <,handled pretty good, compared to how it has been ,in the past, the Sportsmen's Club 'a is a great group of guys and they pick up Iot of trash on the'lake, which E they not have to do. i One resident asked why West Avenue could be considered for an access. • Mayor Stock replied that this was one of the sites that were looked at and that the Ri of Way going down to the 'lake is approximately 50' wide there is residents along the side, of, the street, one side of the street'* P land, very similar to the situation of North Shore Crest area. The topography at the present time is very steep to the east and the DNR has look d at this He then area. asked Mike Markell to comment on why that site is not feasible. ` Mike stated that the biggest problem was the width of the street for parking purposes and turn- around area. MINUTES of the Proceedings of the City Council of the City of Prior Lake in the County of Scott and State of Minnesota, including all accounts audited by said Council. City Manager McGuire commented,also on this, he stated that West Avenue is. - a dedicated roadway,as it gees. -,into the Iai:e at which Dint it terminates p and there may be a problem with taking a dedicated roadway and making it i into and access. Marlis Bluedorn questioned the Council, what was Watzel's Point Park be,i.ng s; used for. Parks and Recreat i on D i rector Mangan stated that Watze I s Po i nt has been acquired and is up for development on a grant for a building similar to Sand Pointe Beach and docking in the bays, the road running from Red Oaks Drive to Watzel's Point itself as part.of the purchase_ agreement �is to remain private. Mayor Stock then closed this portion and turned it over to discussion of the Council. If the Councilmembers had any questions for the representatives to ask them and basically what our u decision would be is whether or not the City would want to participate in the parking agreement of the park t property that the City now owns. Councilman Thorkelson asked that if the DNR went ahead with this would this access be put in this summer. Mike Markell stated that it probably would not be this summber but probabl 1, next spring.' Thorkelson then asked Parks and Recreation Director Mangan if he had looked off into the safety questions as far as the beach is concerned and as far as the Oil slicks that could develop at a launch site. Councilman Busse asked if (here was going to be any additional parking besides the 14 slots for cars /trainers. i City, Manager McGuire felt'fhat if this did do, that the parking lot should be paved, otherwise there could be a severe dust problem for the ,adjacent property 9wners; secondly, some type of agreement made with the adjacent property owners l as far buffering and thirdly, try to a6 uire the 30' possibly by swapp.i;ng;it so 'that "it would be ''on the cother ,side or possibly splitting it 15 on each side. Councilman Watkins stated that he felt that the DNR and the City has a very definite obligation to develop free public access to the lake, but it should not be a bandaid solution and he felt that this had a number or flaws. He ra felt that the biggest flaw�was the proximity of the access to the `swimming i beach and also to the adjacent properties. He felt that public safety was foremost and damage to property is important ut secondary,. Public safety aspect of that beach could be dangerous. One"' po I nt that he had ° -' heard the term "deal" used, he stated that we do not make !'deals", we make dec i s i orK at a p u b l i c c meeting which i's in front of God,. and everybody, so we make statements, statements which are a matter of record, we,.do not make deals. Councilman Schweich had comments, he stated that everyone wants lake access, but of course nobbdy wante it next to them. He asked the DNR would there be other chances for accesses on Prior Lake. Mike Markell stated that they would try, but this is one of the,last °practical sites. Mayor Stock asked Mike Markell if he could give an opinion or would he need a legal opinion to determine what the Zvirbulis.'property impact would be, could ;he make any comments on this at this time. C" Mike Markell. stated that he could not make any comments at this time, that I he would need a legal opinion' from the Attorney General. = h E r� Mayor Stock then asked him if the subject of purchasing the property from the Zvirbulis' has been brought up.; Parks and Recreation Dirsctor Mangan stated that about 2 years ago it was mentioned, Mrs. Zvirbulis stated that she did not remember anyone talkng to her in regards to selling her property. i. x. a MINUTES ' of the Proceedings of the City Council of the City of Prior Lake in the County of Scott and State i of Minnesota, including all accounts audited by said Council. Mayor StoeK felt that the legal opinion on the Zvirbulis property.shoutd be presenl%,d and looked at. lie further stated that he wanted to go back . and researclj the minutes, that it has been awhile. Ne.felt that we should. take lrt #..`ice a core time and investigate in- depth, requested the DNR to get the legal the opinion on property involved, Park Director take another look at and also evaluate the on basis of the other cornmunties that have boat launching and swimming areas in their community and Their relative relationship and also the City Manager and Planning ii our office prepare a summary of the actions that were taken in the zoning and subdivision of r the McWilliams property and then get together and see where we are at. He asked the DNR if this was Possible and what kind of time frame they wer >a i n, ` Mike Markell stated the the option expires March 18, 1982, but they could try for an extension, otherwise that would be the day that they decision. y r Councilman Thorkelson stated that he felt that it is important that i t we find an access and we've looked at alot;of sites and as everyone said none of them 1' are going to be ideal and the neighborhoods always object-, so he feels that we it ,1 owe to the rest of the people of Prior Lake to Zook into this a little further as Mayor Stock has stated. " ' One thing that he has" a problem with is spending,hhis kind of money to provide an access and ©n;i have 14 �.� Y parking spaces, it also doesn " seem reasonable to take anymore of Sand Pointe Beach Park Land to provide parking space for cars' and hailers, that is not all that big of a park and, for the amount of people that use that park that °is not a ppropriate', if these sites are, acquired we have to look at the possibility of acquiring add flpnai parking somewhere else so that it is not taken away from Said Pointe Beach. Mayor Stock agreed with Councilman Thorkelson' and asked, DNR to check with) Parks and Recreation Director Mangan. at additional sites. { ' CONTINl1E MEETING OW MARCH 15th Mayor Stock stated -•that he would continue this meeting on Monday, March Ii 15, 1982 at 8?:0 PM.'
