History Local governments can enact Water Surface Use Management (WSUM) rules to regulate activities on water bodies such as lakes. WSUM rules describe the goals of the rules, require an assessment of the water surface use conditions, and establish water surface management standards or parameters, which may be included in a local ordinance. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) oversees WSUM at the state level and works with local government units enacting WSUM ordinances. The City of Prior Lake has had some form of surface waters regulation on Prior Lake since the 1980s, with the last substantial WSUM revision coming in 1994. The need to update local WSUM rules stems from several factors including a lack of WSUM regulations for Spring Lake, changes in lake use, ongoing feedback regarding shoreline erosion, and a rise in safety concerns expressed by the Scott County Sheriff’s Office. On April 27, 2015 the Spring Lake Town Board and Prior Lake City Council met to discuss various topics including Water Surface Use Management regulations. The outcome of this meeting was to create a task force with representation of key stakeholder groups to evaluate several policy topics related to WSUM, and to provide recommendations back to the Board and Council. The WSUM task force consisted of stakeholders representing a cross section of the community and lake users. This group met eight times and spent many hours reviewing information and talking to their constituents about WSUM issues. Task force members are commended for assisting with a public process, on a volunteer basis, that resulted in recommendations that meet the intent of the statewide WSUM program. Lake use is central to this community; by striving for balanced lake use through its WSUM ordinance, 2 the City will continue to attract a broad range of recreational users to its public waters while protecting the rights of shoreline owners. On March 14, 2016, the Town Board and City Council met to discuss the task force’s preliminary findings, a draft final report (Attachment 1), and recommended changes to the City’s ordinance dealing with WSUM (City Code Section 703, Public Waters). During that meeting the City Council directed staff to move forward with a public process to update City Code Section 703 and also to form an education task force that will assist lake users in understating the requirements of City Code 703. In order to enact WSUM regulations on Spring Lake, the Spring Lake Town Board would have to adopt an ordinance with matching provisions. Other WSUM task force recommendations included increasing the enforcement presence on Spring Lake and creating a mechanism to ensure adequate placement and spacing of marker buoys around the lakes. Current Circumstances On April 28, 2016, City and Township staff hosted a public informational meeting to present the WSUM task force’s findings and also to solicit feedback from the community relating to potential ordinance updates. Slides from the PowerPoint presentation given during the meeting are included as Attachment 2 and include a summary of the proposed ordinance revisions. Over 90 residents attended and several provided written comments. Additional written comments were received after the meeting via email and mailed forms. These public comments are included as Attachment 3. The public comments were generally supportive of all recommended changes except one item dealing with the restriction of sustained, bow-high operation of a boat in the area south of Twin Isle. This is the only controversial recommendation brought forth by the WSUM task force. The recommendation was supported by a narrow majority of task force members. Conclusion The City Council and Town Board are asked to hold a public hearing to receive public testimony on the proposed ordinance revisions. This public hearing is a necessary step not only for the local processes but also as part of the state review process. Prior to final adoption the Department of Natural Resources must review and approve of the ordinance language. A transcript from the hearing must be submitted with the proposed language for consideration. It is customary for the Council to consider ordinance revisions on the same evening as the public hearing. However, due to the additional requirement for review, the Council and Town Board will be asked to provide direction to staff as far as proceeding with the process. If the Council or Town Board would like to make any modifications to the language it would be appropriate to provide that direction in a motion after the public hearing but before the proposed ordinance is submitted to the DNR. ISSUES: The potential ordinance change relating to the restriction of sustained, bow- high operation of a boat in the area south of Twin Isle was the only issue among several potential changes receiving a significant amount of negative 3 feedback from the public. Those opposed to this potential ordinance change generally raised the following issues: 1. Applicability of existing studies and proof of causation. The WSUM task force reviewed several existing scientific studies dealing with wave generation and shoreline erosion caused at least in part by wave action. According to the studies, larger waves containing more energy and power (regardless of source) have potential to do more damage to shorelines than smaller waves. Wave frequency is also a major factor in bank erosion. Wave science appears to be well-established. Studies conducted all over the world, in many different environments, tend to reach similar conclusions: while watercraft wake isn’t the only factor in shoreline erosion, it can be a significant factor in accelerated shoreline erosion, especially if certain conditions are met including high frequency of boat passes, proximity of boat passes to the shoreline, and shorelines susceptible to erosion. No study points to watercraft wake as the primary driver of shoreline erosion in all cases; rather, it is one potential cause of shoreline erosion that can be limited by using focused restrictions, while all other active-use activities may continue unhindered. The lessons learned from studies undertaken in other areas and situations can be applied to Prior Lake. Water waves will have similar physical properties regardless of where they are generated, and Prior Lake has many of the same depth and shoreline constrictions present in other studied areas such as rivers, bays, and harbors. Studies cautioned about over-regulation of watercraft wake because it is not the only factor in eroding shorelines. Natural waterways are dynamic environments subject to erosional and/or depositional processes. Therefore, adding a focused regulation aimed at giving some measure of relief to those shorelines most susceptible to erosion and located in an area with natural travel constrictions and heavy use, while allowing all other activities to continue, is reasonable for Prior Lake. No single study matched the conditions of Prior Lake exactly, but the cumulative impact of the study findings make it clear that the task force’s recommendations will allow for a balanced lake use while providing for some shoreline protection. Absolute answers in the form of studies come with disproportionate costs, and the recommended option is to derive operating criteria that make the problem manageable and then adjust these criteria over time with the benefit of monitoring. 2. Accelerated Erosion. The area south of Twin Isle includes several of the compounding factor types that scientific studies have listed as risk factors for accelerated shoreline erosion. These factors include high boat frequency (owing in part to the DNR’s DeWitte Public Access and the southern loop of the typical travel pattern of boats), potential travel lanes constricted by the island, and 4 shorelines susceptible to erosion. This susceptibility is due to several factors including shoreline steepness, erodible soils, and varying stabilization practices. According to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), it is against the law “to operate a watercraft so its wash or wake endangers, harasses, or interferes with any person or property” (MN 6110.1200, Subp. 1.A). Additionally, the goal of WSUM “shall be to enhance the recreational use, safety, and enjoyment of the water surface of Minnesota and to preserve these water resources in a way that reflects the state’s paramount concern for the protection of its natural resources” (MN 6110.3200). Essentially it is to strike a balance between what can be competing interests. To accomplish this goal, the DNR states that an ordinance or rule shall: A. Where practical and feasible, accommodate all compatible recreational uses B. Minimize adverse impact on natural resources C. Minimize conflicts between users in a way that provides for maximum use, safety, and enjoyment D. Conform to the standards set forth in part 6110.3700 After the public information meeting on April 28, 2016, public comments were received from 6 residents who own shoreline property in this area and who support the proposed restriction on sustained, bow-high operation. An additional 12 residents were in support of the restriction but did not provide an address, bringing the total written comments in support of the proposed restriction to 18. Common themes in their comments included residents having to continually rebuild shoreline stabilization practices (including walls and riprap), the increase in erosion over time, and the inequality that results from a small group of boaters effectively “taking over” a section of Prior Lake, making it unusable for others who wish to enjoy the lake due to the enhanced wake. Those who oppose the restriction provided approximately 26 written comments. Common themes of those comments included the applicability of existing studies to Prior Lake, shifting enhanced wake activities to other areas of the lake, enforceability, and the concern that this potential regulation will lead to other similar regulations. 3. Economic impact of decision. As a recreational lake, Prior Lake is central to the community’s economic well-being. Many city residents and non-residents choose to spend time recreating on or around the lake, participating in activities ranging from kayaking and fishing to water skiing and wake surfing. Prior Lake is also attractive to new residents. By adopting WSUM rules, the City is responsible for ensuring that the state’s WSUM goals are being met to the maximum extent practicable. These goals include balancing recreational uses while minimizing impact on shorelines and other natural resources. 5 Some shoreline residents have expressed the opinion that actively eroding shorelines has negatively impacted their property value. Others have stated that adding more restrictions to the lake negatively impacts property value. Without expressly performing an in-depth study of the economic factors that may result from this potential ordinance change, the economic impact of this decision is unknown. No commenter has produced information to substantiate claims of economic impact, positive or negative. FINANCIAL IMPACT: To date the financial impact has been limited to City staff time, which has been significant. Additional City staff time is needed to help guide an education task force regardless of potential ordinance updates. Costs will also be incurred to share the new ordinance with the public using the most effective means. Public comments have included statements about the potential financial impact of the proposed ordinance changes. Some feel that the potential changes will positively impact their property value and potentially decrease the amount of money they spend on repairing shoreline protection practices. Others feel that the potential changes will negatively impact their property value. ALTERNATIVES: 1. The city council and the township board, make a motion and second to direct staff to submit the proposed ordinance language to the Department of Natural Resources for review and approval. 2. The city council and the township board make a motion and second to direct staff to modify the ordinance language prior to submission to the Department of Natural Resources for review and approval. 3. Table this item. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Alternative 1. Approve the updated ordinance language as written and direct staff to forward the updated ordinance to the DNR for review and approval.

First, the flood of 2014 highlighted the lack of any WSUM regulations on Spring Lake. This led to a disjointed process for implementing an emergency slow no-wake provision on the lake, resulting in frustrations during the flood. The City and Township received public input asking for the adoption of permanent emergency no-wake rules for Spring Lake. In addition there has been ongoing feedback from residents regarding shoreline erosion issues on Prior Lake at any lake level. These complaints have pointed to new, more intensive use types on the lake since the last significant ordinance revision in 1994. Finally, the Scott County Sheriff’s Office provided feedback expressing a rise in safety concerns. City and Township staff met to discuss these concerns. After gathering additional information and considering input from DNR officials, Sheriff’s Office staff, and residents, City and Township staff hosted two public open house meetings to gather additional feedback from community stakeholders regarding WSUM regulations. During the meetings stakeholders were presented with options for WSUM regulation changes that would address public safety and shoreline erosion concerns. Stakeholders were asked to provide input on the potential change options. The public response was deeply divided between those favoring proposed changes and those opposing a change in WSUM rules. Stakeholder feedback is included in Appendix 4.7. The Spring Lake Township Board and Prior Lake City Council created the WSUM Task Force to review issues that emerged during the public open house meetings and to craft recommendations for policymakers. Issues brought forward by residents and lake users included lake use conflicts, concern about restricting boats into congested areas, education about the City’s existing WSUM regulations, shoreline erosion caused by watercraft, and lake congestion. Task Force members were selected from a pool of candidates who represent a wide range of constituencies and perspectives. This group structure was selected to ensure that the policy items in question could be addressed from different perspectives, and to ensure that these perspectives would be heard. The following local residents participated as members of the WSUM Task Force: Name Affiliation Glenn Kelley Spring Lake Township Board, Spring Lake lakefront owner, Spring Lake Association member, active Spring Lake user Dan Kelly Spring Lake Association Board, Spring Lake lakefront owner, water enthusiast Wes Mader Prior Lake resident, Prior Lake lakefront owner, shoreline protection advocate Christian Morkeberg Spring Lake Township resident, Spring Lake lakefront owner, public health/safety advocate, environmentalist 4 | P a g e Mike Myser Prior Lake resident, active/passive use advocate, lakeshore owner, environmentalist Tom Stephenson Prior Lake Association, HOA Member Woody Spitzmueller PLSLWD Board, Prior Lake Assn Board, Prior Lake Community Safety Advisory Committee, and Boating Safety Instructor Mike Thibault Shakopee Prior Lake Water Ski Association, Prior Lake Lakeshore Owner Annette Thompson Prior Lake City Council, HOA Member Other occasional meeting attendees included Deputy Todd Beck (Scott County Sheriff’s Office), Margaret Bergsrud (MN DNR), Conservation Officer Chelsie Leuthardt (MN DNR), Diane Lynch (Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District), and Meg Rattei (Barr Engineering). Key project staff included Katy Gehler (City of Prior Lake), Kathy Nielsen (Spring Lake Township), and Pete Young (City of Prior Lake). The Task Force’s primary purpose was to review a wide range of policy issues and develop a set of recommendations for regulating WSUM on Spring Lake and Prior Lake. The specific policy issues the Take Force addressed are: Education Enforcement Public Safety Spring Lake WSUM Regulations Impacts of Wake (Watercraft and Wind) on Shoreline Erosion and Water Quality Preservation of Recreational Opportunities The Task Force met eight times to consider these policy issues which are discussed in detail under Section 3. Outside experts were consulted and Task Force members were provided with large amounts of information to aid in the discussions. Task Force members were also encouraged to research the topics independently and to speak with other residents about WSUM issues. The WSUM Task Force has performed a public service by reviewing an ordinance that has not changed substantially for over 20 years. By thoroughly considering the many complicated factors inherent to WSUM regulations, listening to community members with different perspectives, and voicing their opinions throughout the process, the Task Force members produced a valuable set of recommendations. Major recommendations of the WSUM Task Force include: Increase education efforts through the creation of a Task Force to drive the process. Increase enforcement on Spring Lake and accelerating overall enforcement response time Create a mechanism to facilitate installation and maintenance of buoys Add Paradise Bay to the list of marked slow no-wake zones Add WSUM regulations to Spring Lake (equivalent to Prior Lake WSUM regulations) Ensure the public is well informed of all WSUM regulation proposals 5 | P a g e Restrict the use of wake enhanced boating south of Twin Island to address the disproportionate amount of shoreline damage observed near the DeWitte DNR Public Access These recommendations represent the best efforts of a dedicated group of individuals and they should be considered when creating future WSUM policy. 2 WSUM DEFINITION & HISTORY IN PRIOR LAKE WSUM is one piece of a suite of regulations that apply to Minnesota lakes and rivers. Local zoning, state and federal water quality rules, and state boating laws all regulate our lakes in different ways. Specific to use are the state boating laws and WSUM. The state boating laws are focused on the boat itself and address some lake use aspects. Specifically they address licensing, required safety equipment, general boat requirements and operation, capacity, Boating While Impaired (BWI), and towing. WSUM supplements the boating laws by providing a means of regulating water use based on local concerns specific to a water body. The goal of water surface use management, as defined by state rules, is to enhance the recreational use, safety, and enjoyment of the water surfaces and to preserve these water resources in a way that reflects the state’s paramount concern for the protection of its natural resources. In pursuit of that goal, an ordinance or rule shall: A. Accommodate all compatible recreational uses where practical and feasible; B. Minimize adverse impact on natural resources; C. Minimize conflicts between users in a way that provides for maximum use, safety, and enjoyment; and D. Conform to the state standards. The DNR is granted the authority by state statutes to oversee the creation of local WSUM regulations. In turn Counties, Cities, and Towns are given authority to create ordinances to regulate surface uses with the oversight of the state. These authorities are limited to the following areas: A. Type and size of watercraft; B. Type and horsepower of motors; C. Speed of watercraft; D. Time of use; E. Area of use; and F. The conduct of other activities on the water body where necessary to secure the safety of the public and the most general public use The City of Prior Lake has had some form of WSUM regulation in place since the early 1980s. The bulk of the current regulations were enacted in 1994, with relatively minor updates made in 2009. Spring Lake Township does not currently have WSUM regulations in place. 6 | P a g e The current WSUM regulations on Prior Lake are: Speed Limits & Effective Time 40 mph maximum, sunrise to 1 hour after sunset (weekends & holidays, Memorial Day through Labor Day) 20 mph maximum, 1 hour after sunset to sunrise Area Zoning Slow no-wake within 150 feet of shore at all times Marked slow no-wake zones defined in ordinance (Wagon Bridge Channel, Reed’s Island Channel, Lords Street Bridge Channel, Boudin’s Bay, Candy Cove, Mud Bay Channel) Activities No inflatable water toys, air mattresses, or inner tubes more than 150 feet from shore, unless accompanied by a watercraft No swimming more than 150 feet from shore, unless accompanied by a watercraft No watercraft towing a person on water skis, inner tube, aquaplane or similar device shall operate within 150 feet of shore (exception for launching/landing by direct/safe route)* High Water Slow No-Wake Slow no-wake on entire surface of Prior Lake when water reaches an elevation of 904.0 Effective as of first televised notification on City’s cable channel Public access points must be posted during entire restriction period Removed when water remains below an elevation of 904.0 for 3 consecutive days The Scott County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for enforcing WSUM regulations and has one full time deputy occasionally supplemented by temporary employees assigned to provide enforcement services on all Scott County lakes and rivers. 3 WSUM POLICY ISSUES Based on community feedback received during and after the two initial public open house meetings, it is apparent that there are competing interests for lake use and enjoyment. Community feedback indicated a desire to use Prior Lake and Spring Lake to their fullest potential for recreation, including both passive and active uses. However, for some, active recreational activities are perceived as having a negative impact on shoreline stability, docks and certain other privately-owned improvements. WSUM regulations are intended to strike a balance between competing surface water uses. The Task Force addressed the major policy issues related to these competing uses. 7 | P a g e 3.1 EDUCATION Education is key if WSUM, or any regulation, is to be effective. Task Force Meetings #1 and #2 focused on the use of public education as a means to achieving greater compliance with state boating regulations and WSUM rules. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: There is a general lack of knowledge of state boating regulation and WSUM rules among boaters using lakes. There is not a specific group that lacks the knowledge but rather boaters of all experience levels have different understandings. All personal watercraft are required to have a rules decal. There is currently no signage at the Spring Lake boat launch advising users of WSUM regulations. Many people only launch their boat once per year (those who live on the lake or have a dock on the lake). Different strategies are needed to reach these users. The My Boat Club rental business on Prior Lake has enhanced their training program and all users must ride along with a manager around the entire lake (to learn about hazardous areas and WSUM rules) before using the boats. The Prior Lake Association and Community Ed and Rec annually holds a DNR sanctioned boating safety training for youth. Top 3 WSUM violation issues (from Sheriff’s Office): personal watercraft, watercraft lighting violations, slow no-wake violations. TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: A majority of the Task Force members agreed that education relating to WSUM is currently inadequate and that more education is needed. There was a viewpoint that enhanced education efforts would not lead to real behavior change. There was agreement that there should be a central source for education on WSUM rules for area lakes. This could be a website and/or a hotline There was a desire to focus on non-traditional methods of education targeting specific stakeholder groups. The message should be seen often. Social media should be investigated as a tool for education. Use creative ideas to gain compliance, not just rely on enforcement. Online tools were suggested, including a “shaming” model to maintain a list of boat numbers that are violating the rules (this would need to be a private list). Would Lake Associations or HOAs be willing to help with education? Possibly use annual meetings since they are required. Look at posting a summary of WSUM rules at public launch sites and other lake access sites including rental businesses. Existing signage is too wordy, confusing. Look at Lake Minnetonka model. Coordinate work with the DNR Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) program. Could DNR staff be providing information on other topics such as boating rules? Could we require a signed acknowledgement of boating rules for boats using the lake? Top 3 ideas (targeted education relating to main violation issues): o Target groups: rental users, boat launch users, and lakeshore residents (outreach at HOAs, Spring Lake & Prior Lake Associations) o Create laminated handouts (lake maps or other lake-related handouts) 8 | P a g e o Install consistent & updated signage at all public boat launch sites, look into posting signs on CR 21 bridge RECOMMENDATION: A majority of the Task Force members agreed that many boaters are not informed regarding boating and water surface use laws which has led to non-compliance. The Task Force recommends increasing education efforts. The Task Force was not formed to specifically develop educational materials and, therefore, is recommending that a new task force or similar group take on the task of creating an educational program that would tap into existing educational efforts and the resources of lake and homeowner associations. The WSUM Task Force generated the following ideas for education efforts: a. Target groups: rental users, boat launch users, and lakeshore residents (outreach at HOAs, Spring Lake & Prior Lake Associations) b. Create laminated handouts (lake maps or other lake-related handouts) c. Install consistent & updated signage at all public boat launch sites; look into posting signs on CR 21 bridge d. Create a guidance document for property owners relating to slow no-wake buoys and the existing County permit program 3.2 ENFORCEMENT Public Safety is the ultimate goal. To achieve public safety boaters must have knowledge and compliance with the boating and WSUM rules. Education is the first step in achieving compliance with boating rules and regulation. Enforcement is the necessary next step to achieve compliance where education efforts fail to change behavior. Enforcement was included as a discussion topic during Task Force Meeting #1. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: The Sheriff’s Office has exclusive responsibility for water patrol. There are trained reservists but they must be accompanied by a Sheriff’s Office Deputy at all times. Prior Lake is one of the 10 most highly used lakes in the state. Prior Lake generally has enforcement presence 4 days per week. No lakes, other than Prior Lake, have regularly scheduled patrols. The Sheriff’s Office will respond to calls on other lakes, but does not actively patrol them. The DNR filled their Conservation Officer position after a 4 year vacancy and now is able to help with enforcement (DNR CO is county-wide position). The Sheriff’s Deputy must see a violation in order to enforce it (photos, reports, etc. are not enough). That being said if a photo shows a clear violation, he will complete outreach with the boater. Prior Lake has a number of regulatory or warning buoys that mark hazards and no-wake zones. The majority of the buoys were purchased by the County (a few were purchased by Prior Lake Association). The Sheriff’s Office stores and places these buoys. The County applies for grants to purchase buoys and other equipment including boats on a regular basis. Private property owners can purchase marker buoys (orange ball shaped) to mark the 150’ no wake Zone. Anyone can apply for a permit to place a buoy in front of their private property. The permit is free and is automatically renewed each year after the first application. Property owners 9 | P a g e are responsible for their own buoy, chain/rope, and weight. Residents living on Spring Lake or other lakes in Scott County can also apply to place buoys but historically have not done so. Marker buoys are not all placed accurately. In fact some are off quite a bit. Sheriff’s Deputy, Todd Beck, presented information about ongoing Sheriff’s Office patrols in Scott County. The majority (90%) of Todd’s time is spent on Prior Lake because it is by far the busiest lake in the county. About 50% of the violations for Prior Lake are from boaters that live on the lake. Most of those are for users over 25 years of age; it was noted that the younger users would have had more recent training requirements which could explain their relatively better rules compliance. Users of Spring Lake in general are coming from greater distances, and a majority of those are for passive uses such as fishing. Complaint calls for boating violations broke down as follows (approximate 2014 numbers): Prior Lake: 90% O’Dowd: 3% Cedar: 2% MN River: 1% Others: 4%] TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: Compliance with the 150’ No-wake zone is of concern. Many felt that if we can achieve better compliance with this existing rule, this would address many of the safety concerns expressed by residents. A majority of the Task Force members agreed that there is currently sufficient enforcement on Prior Lake. However, there needs to be better delineation of the 150’ no-wake zone to achieve a higher level of compliance. Some task force members felt that enforcement is not adequate and that measures should be undertaken to increase the amount of overall rules enforcement. There was not agreement on how this would be accomplished. There was a desire to look into the existing private buoy process; permit requirements, cost of permits (free), cost of buoys, etc. A majority of the Task Force members agreed that Spring Lake needs additional enforcement. Spring Lake now functions as the overflow lake for Prior Lake and watercraft traffic is increasing. Enforcement is a tool used to achieve compliance; non-compliance is a public safety issue. There was concern about response time on both Prior Lake and Spring Lake during times when the lakes are not being actively patrolled. Would individuals be able to assist with enforcement (volunteers)? Taking photos? The task force would like the policy makers to explore the opportunities for enforcement. RECOMMENDATION: Increase enforcement on Spring Lake, and look into accelerating response time in general for lake surface violation & emergency calls. To effectively implement this recommendation, increased funding for enforcement will likely be required. The Sheriff’s Office does not currently have funding for increased WSUM enforcement on Prior Lake or Spring Lake. Education efforts may address some of the concerns with lack of enforcement on 10 | P a g e Spring Lake. However, increased education efforts will not address the stated concern about slow response times. 3.3 PUBLIC SAFETY Having addressed the issues of education and enforcement to achieve compliance with existing WSUM rules, the Task Force also considered whether or not existing WSUM rules were sufficient to protect public safety. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: State law was recently changed to prohibit towing ½ hour after sunset. The City ordinance currently prohibits towing 1 hour after sunset. Close calls and other towing conflicts during the hour after sunset were a concern of the patrol officer. Members noted that towing people through officially marked slow no-wake zones is a potential safety hazard. Boat or boat slip renters are a perceived problem because they lack the knowledge or respect for the rules. As use on the lake goes up, crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern. TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: All Task Force members agreed that the WSUM regulations should follow the new state law for towing (changed from 1 hour after sunset to ½ hour after sunset); this law is currently in place and supersedes the current Prior Lake rule. A majority of the Task Force members agreed that towing in congested areas should be addressed through WSUM regulations. There was discussion about length of tow ropes, concerns about carbon monoxide when close to motors, and it was noted that it is illegal for a boat occupant to hold the rope when towing a person. There is a safety concern about towing people (especially children) through congested areas where they could fall off. This causes boat traffic congestion and can lead to injuries. One concern was voiced stating that changing the regulations will restrict some lake users from towing through congested areas out to open lake areas. The Sheriff’s Office will be able to address this concern without additional enforcement efforts. Watercraft operators should ensure that their watercraft has enough capacity for the person(s) being towed. The task force suggested reviewing other models that use parking restrictions to limit boats on the lake (allow one boat per parking space) to address crowding concerns. RECOMMENDATION: Keep the current WSUM towing rule, apply it to Spring Lake, and also restrict all towing through the following existing slow no-wake zones on Prior Lake: The Wagon Bridge 11 | P a g e Around Reeds Island Near the conclusion of the Task Force meeting process, the Task Force directed City and Township staff to discuss their recommendations with Deputy Todd Beck of the Scott County Sheriff’s Office in order to get additional input relating to the potential WSUM rule updates. To effectively implement the Task Force’s Public Safety recommendations, the first step would be to modify the City’s ordinance to reflect the recommended changes. The exemption clause for launching or landing makes the existing code confusing and it could be difficult for watercraft users to comply; a similar state watercraft operation exemption only applies to water skiers. For example, a boat towing an inner tube could create a wake through a slow no-wake zone if they are launching or landing, but another watercraft with no inner tube could receive a ticket for traveling on the same path and creating an equivalent wake. Additionally, water skiers are the primary lake users who need to launch or land from shore while it is common for other users to start from any point in the lake. It would be difficult for Sheriff’s Office Deputies to enforce a no-towing provision in the specific slow no-wake zones mentioned during the meeting process if all lake users launching or landing were allowed to create wake through these areas. For these reasons, the proposed WSUM towing rule is as follows: Most of the slow no-wake zone areas are already covered by the lake-wide 150-foot slow no-wake provision in the existing ordinance. The modified towing rule would simply restrict wake in areas that fall within existing marked slow no-wake areas but are also more than 150 feet from shore. The following illustration shows an example marked slow no-wake zone (Wagon Bridge). Revised Towing Rule: 703.401 General Speed Limit: No person shall operate a watercraft, at any time, greater than a slow no-wake speed within one hundred fifty feet (150’) from shore. Any watercraft launching or landing a person on water skis, wakeboards, kneeboards, or barefoot by the most direct and safe route to open water or shore shall be exempt from this provision. 703.503 Towing Restrictions: No watercraft towing a person on water skis, inner tube, aquaplane or similar device shall be operated at any time within a Marked Slow No-Wake Zone. Current WSUM towing rule: 703.401 General Speed Limit: No watercraft towing a person on water skis, inner tube, aquaplane or similar device shall be operated at any time within one hundred fifty feet 150’) of shore; provided, however, that any watercraft launching or landing a person on water skis, inner tube, aquaplane or similar device by the most direct and safe route to open water or shore shall be exempt from this provision. 12 | P a g e Shaded Yellow Areas: Approximate extents of existing slow no-wake zone Yellow line: 150’ from the shoreline Red Hatched Areas: These areas are within slow no-wake zone but outside of 150’ shoreline slow no- wake zone; towing would no longer be allowed in these areas under the proposed rule revision. This illustration shows that the existing towing rule is not only confusing, it is difficult to comply with and to enforce. Education efforts would include updates on the modified ordinance with respect to public safety. Updating the ordinance to follow state law would have no impact on enforcement efforts as this provision needs to be followed anyway. Adding a towing restriction to the two congested areas would require education and possibly increased enforcement, depending on the effectiveness of the education and other factors. Some of these areas would have already been considered a “no towing” zone, owing to their location within 150’ of the shoreline. Education should therefore be prioritized to reach those who may be accustomed to towing through the two congested areas further than 150’ from shore. 3.4 SPRING LAKE WSUM REGULATIONS Spring Lake currently has no specific WSUM regulations outside of the standard statewide boating regulations The Task Force discussed adding Spring Lake WSUM regulations during Meeting #7. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: There is currently no mechanism for implementing a high-water no-wake restriction on Spring Lake. 13 | P a g e Spring Lake is often used as an overflow lake for Prior Lake. TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: Spring Lake residents have seen an increase in the amount of boat traffic on the lake. Spring Lake residents have seen in increase in the intensity of active uses on the lake. The lack of a regulated no-wake zone creates a safety hazard for swimmers. Implementation of a no-wake zone on Spring Lake should not interfere with the use of the ski jump. Spring Lake is very shallow. As a result several docks are longer than 150’. What should be the depth of the no wake zone? RECOMMENDATION: A majority of the Task Force members living on or using Spring Lake agreed that Spring Lake should have the same WSUM regulations as Prior Lake. In order to extend these regulations to Spring Lake, the City of Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township must pass equivalent WSUM ordinances. The ordinances would include the provision that a temporary, lake-wide slow no-wake requirement is enacted when the water levels reach the Ordinary High Water elevation for each lake 903.9’ for Prior Lake and 912.8’ for Spring Lake). 3.5 IMPACTS OF WATERCRAFT AND WIND WAKE ON SHORELINE EROSION AND WATER QUALITY During Meeting #3 the Task Force discussed the impacts of wake and wind on shoreline erosion and water quality, as it relates to WSUM. An outside expert, Meg Rattei of Barr Engineering Company, presented information about sediment resuspension from boat traffic in shallow areas and how this may affect the PLSLWD’s Spring Lake alum treatment, and water quality in general. Ms. Rattei presented information on the basics of alum treatment and how a portion of the phosphorus previously available to plants and algae is permanently bonded to alum during and after the treatment. In Spring Lake, phosphorus within the top 2.5 inches of sediment was treated along with other phosphorus within the water column. Alum treatment only occurred in depths greater than 10 feet to target areas having higher levels of releasable phosphorus. Sediment along the shoreline is not as high in releasable phosphorus as deeper sediments but there is still a level of releasable phosphorus in shallow areas (less than 10 feet deep). Finer sediments tend to settle out over the deeper portions of a lake. Wind can carry fine sediments all over the lake depending on strength and direction. It is likely that areas shallower than 10 feet have higher oxygen content which is called a “mixing zone”, where phosphorus is not releasable due to the higher oxygen content (higher than 2 mg/l). Rattei noted that aquatic plants can help to trap fine sediments and stabilize the lake bottom. Removing aquatic plants can impact a lake by shifting the available phosphorus to planktonic algae, which is the type of algae that makes the lake green (lower water quality). Boats can have an impact on aquatic vegetation growth. An updated lake vegetation map would be informative for making decisions based on protecting plant growth in Spring Lake and Prior Lake. Rattei stated that regulations focused on preserving vegetated 14 | P a g e areas could be defensible based on the science, whereas sediment-based regulations may not be as defensible due to the increased number of unknowns. The Task Force also conducted a tour of the full shoreline of Prior Lake to see first-hand the existing conditions. Task Force members observed a wide range of shoreline stabilization practices including natural buffers, rip rap, vertical retention walls (both wood and Keystone), and gently sloping boulder buffers. The general observation was that vertical structures, whether wood or keystone block, are less stable than sloping buffers. The newest practice seen on the lake was the placement of large, gently sloping boulders. These installations are designed to more effectively dissipate wave energy. However, this type of practice can only be used on lots with lower elevations. The only area where significant erosion was observed was near the DeWitte Public Access and the area north and east of the Access. This is a narrow area with lots at higher elevations. Boats in this area are often accelerating or decelerating, creating greater wave energy. It is also a channel where boats entering Prior Lake often operate close to shore. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: Regardless of the delivery method (e.g., erosion, resuspension, wave action, etc.), sediment impacts water quality similarly. Sediment from shallow lake areas and shorelines are low in releasable phosphorus. Aquatic plants can help to trap fine sediments and stabilize the lake bottom. Both Spring Lake and Prior Lake are seeing an increase in more intensive uses (wake boarding, Wake surfing, etc.). Wave energy is greater when boats are accelerating or decelerating. The DeWitte Public Access area has more shoreline impacts than other areas of Prior Lake. Shoreline stabilization practices are changing on Prior Lake. TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: Increased turbidity due to sediment resuspension may be an issue that impacts plant growth. A view was expressed that turbidity in near shore areas poses a safety hazard to swimmers. There was an opinion that wake-enhanced boating is causing greater shoreline erosion. There was no consensus on this. A suggestion was made to further study the causes of shoreline erosion before any regulations are revised. RECOMMENDATION: The information presented by Ms. Rattei, along with several related studies presented to the group, lead the Task Force to conclude that WSUM regulations likely have a minimal impact on overall water quality in Prior Lake and Spring Lake, and that local WSUM regulations should not be based on water quality. To address the shoreline erosion near the DeWitte DNR Public Access, the majority of the Task Force recommends restricting the operation of boats in a bow high manner in the area south of Twin Island. The Task Force also recommends creation of a guidance document for shoreline stabilization. 15 | P a g e 3.6 PRESERVATION OF RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES Lake recreation is the central issue of WSUM and was crucial to the Task Force’s efforts to review existing WSUM regulations, consider updating those regulations, and ensure public participation in the process. Prior Lake and Spring Lake both have a large impact on the local economy. The importance of the lakes is obvious – they are the namesakes of both the City and Township. The City and Township acknowledged these economic and social factors by creating a Task Force to look at WSUM before enacting potential changes to regulations that could impact residents and businesses depending on our lakes. Local priorities for Prior Lake, as evidenced by the existing WSUM ordinance (Appendix, Section 4.3), include increasing public safety, protecting shoreline properties from wave action during periods of high water, and balancing different lake uses. The residents of Prior Lake have already demonstrated a commitment to these issues because the regulations have been in place for many years. FINDINGS OF FACT AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS: Statewide goals for WSUM include accommodating all compatible recreational uses where practical and feasible, minimizing adverse impacts on natural resources, and minimizing conflicts between users in a way that promotes maximum use, safety, and enjoyment. WSUM is administered locally; while statewide watercraft use standards must be followed, local priorities must also be considered when updating WSUM rules. During the boat tour Task Force members witnessed both active and passive uses on the lake. TASK FORCE COMMENTS AND POINTS OF DISCUSSION: Task Force members noted that passive uses, such as paddle boarding and kayaking take place in the early morning hours or during the week when there are fewer active users. Active use boaters are generally respectful of fishing boats. Some members would like to see a “No Wake Wednesday” when passive users could use the lake without having to worry about waves from more active uses. RECOMMENDATION: Recreation was central to all discussions during the Task Force meetings; therefore, no Task Force recommendations are specific to recreational opportunities alone. Any changes to the existing Prior Lake WSUM ordinance, including the possible addition of equivalent WSUM rules to Spring Lake, would have some level of impact on lake recreation. 4 RECOMMENDATIONS The WSUM Task Force endeavored to make recommendations in response to the major policy issues listed in Section 3. Topics such as recreation, and water quality were discussed at length but no specific recommendations were developed regarding these issues as they are intrinsic to other policy issues. 16 | P a g e 4.1 EDUCATION A majority of the Task Force members agreed that many boaters are not informed regarding boating and water surface use laws, which has led to non-compliance. The Task Force recommends increasing education efforts. The Task Force was not formed to specifically develop educational materials and is recommending that a new task force or similar group take on the task of creating an educational program that would tap into existing educational efforts and the resources of lake and homeowner associations. The WSUM Task Force generated ideas for education efforts: a. Target groups: rental users, boat launch users, and lakeshore residents (outreach at HOAs, Spring Lake & Prior Lake Associations) b. Create laminated handouts (lake maps or other lake-related handouts) c. Install consistent & updated signage at all public boat launch sites; look into posting signs on CR 21 bridge d. Create a guidance document for shoreline stabilization (companion to DNR fact sheet) e. Create a guidance document for property owners relating to slow no-wake buoys and the existing County permit program 4.2 ENFORCEMENT A majority of the Task Force members agreed that there is currently sufficient enforcement on Prior Lake. However, there is a concern that response times are too long when the lake is not being actively patrolled. A majority of the Task Force members living on or using Spring Lake agreed that Spring Lake needs additional enforcement. The Task Force recommends increasing enforcement on Spring Lake. The Task Force recommends looking for ways to accelerate response times for lake surface violation & emergency calls. 4.3 PUBLIC SAFETY The Task Force recommends that the WSUM regulations follow the new state law for towing (changed from 1 hour after sunset to ½ hour after sunset). A majority of the Task Force members agreed that towing in congested areas should be addressed through WSUM regulations. The Task Force recommends keeping the current WSUM towing rule, and also restricting towing through the following existing slow no-wake zones on Prior Lake: The Wagon Bridge and the area around Reeds Island. 4.4 BUOYS A majority of the Task Force members agreed that a visual cue is needed marking the existing 150’ slow no-wake zone in a more uniform manner. A majority of the Task Force members agreed that a mechanism is needed to report and correct buoy placement (for marked zones and private buoys). The Task Force recommends creating a mechanism to facilitate the installation and maintenance of buoys to mark the 150’ no-wake zone. There was a difference of opinion as to whether this should be a public or private responsibility. However, there was agreement that the mechanism should consider the purchase, installation, maintenance, removal and storage of the buoys. 17 | P a g e 4.5 MARKED SLOW NO-WAKE ZONES All existing marked slow no-wake zones were reviewed during the Task Force process, and potential new zones were considered. No changes were recommended for the existing slow no-wake zones. However, residents living on Paradise Bay (on Prior Lake) presented a petition to make this bay an official slow no- wake zone. After reviewing the bay during the boat tour, a majority of the Task Force members agreed that this bay should be slow no-wake. The Task Force recommends adding Paradise Bay to the list of marked slow no-wake zones in the Prior Lake City WSUM Ordinance (City Code Chapter 703.406). 4.6 SPRING LAKE WSUM REGULATIONS The Task Force members living on or using Spring Lake recommend that Spring Lake have the same WSUM regulations as Prior Lake. In order to extend these regulations to Spring Lake, the City of Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township must pass equivalent WSUM ordinances. The ordinances would include the provision that a temporary, lake-wide slow no-wake requirement is enacted when the water levels reach the Ordinary High Water elevation for each lake (903.9’ for Prior Lake and 912.8’ for Spring Lake). 4.7 ENHANCED WATERCRAFT WAKE After the boat tour, there was agreement among most of the Task Force members that the shoreline in the DeWitte DNR Public Access area receives a disproportionate amount of damage due to the combined impacts of naturally and artificially generated waves. Restricting watercraft that generate artificially large wakes (for the purpose of wake surfing and similar recreational activities) from this specific area would eliminate one source of the observed localized shoreline damage. There was not consensus among the Task Force members about how to address the observed localized shoreline damage problems. City and Township Staff worked with Sheriff’s Office Deputy Todd Beck to outline potential ordinance changes that could address this issue. Any change to the ordinance needs to be both effective and enforceable. The Task Force recommends restricting the operation of boats in a bow high manner in the area south of Twin Island. This recommendation has the support of 60% of Task Force members. Most members representing active users opposed making any changes to the regulations to address enhanced watercraft wake. Suggestions for achieving compliance with this potential rule include marking the area with distinct buoys, increasing education, working with local interest groups to get the word out, highlighting the requirement at the public launch, and making the first season with the rule in place “warnings only” as a way to educate lake users who enjoy this activity. 4.8 PUBLIC PROCESS A majority of the Task Force members agreed that a public process is needed to update the public on the group’s findings and recommendations. The deliverables of the WSUM Task Force will include a presentation (for a joint work session of the City Council and Township Board), a final report, and a draft ordinance. The Task Force members will be asked to assist in developing the public process framework and communicating with the public. 18 | P a g e 4.9 SUMMARY OF RECOMMEND ORDINANCE REVISIONS A summary of the proposed WSUM regulations that would apply to both Prior Lake and Spring Lake are below. Bold text denotes the recommended revisions. Speed Limits & Effective Time 40 mph maximum, sunrise to ½ hour after sunset (weekends & holidays, Memorial Day through Labor Day) 20 mph maximum, ½ hour after sunset to sunrise Area Zoning Slow no-wake within 150 feet of shore at all times on both Prior and Spring Lakes.

Water Surface Use Management (WSUM) Compliments State Boating Laws Regulations to address: Effective time Area zoning Speed Limits Watercraft/motor size Conduct of Activities High water Goals of WSUM: Striking a Balance Accommodate compatible recreational uses Minimize adverse impacts on natural resources Minimize conflicts between users Meet state standards Why update WSUM? Lack of regulations on Spring Lake Last substantial ordinance revision in 1994 Changes in lake use Ongoing feedback regarding erosion Sheriff’s Office (lake patrol deputy) expressed a rise in safety concerns WSUM Process Winter/Spring 2015 Reviewed ordinance Held two community meetings to receive input Identified issues April 2015 Joint City Council & Township Board meeting Council & Board directed formation of WSUM Task Force Task Force Membership Name Affiliation Glenn Kelley Spring Lake Township Board,Spring Lake lakefront owner, Spring Lake Association member, active Spring Lake user Dan Kelly Spring Lake Association, Spring Lake lakefront owner, water enthusiast Wes Mader Shoreline protection advocate, Prior Lake resident,Prior Lake lakeshore owner Christian Morkeberg Water Quality/Environment advocate, Spring Lake Township, Spring Lake lakefront owner, public health/safety advocate Mike Myser Active/passive use advocate, Prior Lake resident, lakeshore owner, environmentalist Tom Stephenson Prior Lake Association, HOA Member Woody Spitzmueller PLSLWD Board, Prior Lake Assn Board, Prior Lake Community Safety Advisory Committee, and Boating Safety Instructor Mike Thibault Shakopee Prior Lake Water Ski Association, Prior Lake Lakeshore Owner Annette Thompson Prior Lake City Council, HOA Member Education Enforcement Public Safety Lack of WSUM provisions on Spring Lake Impacts of boat and wind wake Preservation of recreational opportunities WSUM Task Force Policy Issues Addressed Lack of knowledge of rules. There is not a specific group that lacks the knowledge but rather boaters of all experience levels have different understandings. Variety of User Types: Educational materials need to consider all user types. Boat Renters: The My Boat Club on Prior Lake has enhanced their training program and all users must ride along with a manager around the entire lake before using the boats. Training for Youth: The Prior Lake Association and Community Ed and Rec annually hold a DNR sanctioned boating safety training for youth. Top 3 WSUM violation issues (per Sheriff’s Office):personal watercraft, watercraft lighting, slow no-wake. Education Outcomes from WSUM Task Force: The WSUM Task Force recommends increasing education efforts. Form a new Task Force to create an educational program that would tap into existing resources of lake and homeowner associations. The WSUM Task Force generated some ideas for potential education efforts: Targeted groups Install consistent & updated signage at all public boat launch sites; look into posting signs on CR 21 bridge Create a guidance document for property owners relating to slow no-wake buoys and the existing County permit program Education Patrol Prior Lake is one of the 10 most highly used lakes in the state. The Sheriff’s Office has exclusive responsibility for water patrol. There are trained reservists but they must be accompanied by a Sheriff’s Office Deputy at all times. The Sheriff’s Deputy must see a violation in order to enforce it. Patrol in Scott County is focused primarily on Prior Lake. The DNR filled their Conservation Officer position after a 4 year vacancy. Enforcement Buoys The Sheriff’s Office manages regulatory and warning buoys. The County applies for grants to purchase buoys and other equipment including boats on a regular basis. Property owners can purchase marker buoys (orange ball shaped) to mark the 150’ slow no-wake zone. Free permits required to place marker buoys. Marker buoys are not all placed accurately. Marker buoys are not consistently spaced. Enforcement Outcomes from WSUM Task Force: A majority of the Task Force agreed that there is currently sufficient enforcement presence on Prior Lake Compliance levels would increase with better delineation of the existing 150’ slow no-wake zone Enforcement presence will be similar regardless of rules updates A majority of the Task Force agreed that Spring Lake needs additional enforcement presence There was concern about response time when the lakes are not being actively patrolled Enforcement Time of Use Close calls and other towing conflicts during the hour after sunset were a concern of the Sheriff’s Office Deputy. State law was recently changed to prohibit towing ½ hour after sunset. The City’s ordinance currently prohibits towing 1 hour after sunset. Outcome from WSUM Task Force: All Task Force members agreed that the WSUM regulations should follow the new state law for towing (changed from 1 hour after sunset to ½ hour after sunset); this law is currently in place and supersedes the current Prior Lake ordinance. Public Safety Towing Task Force members noted that towing people through marked no-wake zones is a potential safety hazard. Outcome from WSUM Task Force: Restrict all towing through marked no-wake zones on Prior Lake but change ordinance to allow towing at no-wake speed within other areas that were previously restricted (150’ slow no-wake zone). Public Safety Crowding As use of the lake increases, crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern. Outcome from WSUM Task Force: The task force suggested reviewing other models that use parking restrictions to limit boats on the lake (allow one boat per parking space). No change to ordinance. Public Safety Impact on Water Quality Regardless of the delivery method (e.g., erosion, resuspension, wave action, etc.), sediment impacts water quality similarly. Sediment from shallow lake areas and shorelines are low in releasable phosphorus. Aquatic plants can help to trap fine sediments and stabilize the lake bottom. Impacts of Waves Wave Energy Scientific Study Review 13 Existing Studies relating to wave energy Lakes are dynamic environments subject to natural and artificial erosional factors Several studies quantify magnitude of boat wakes and associated energy; potential for shoreline erosion increases with wave energy/size Reduction of boat wave energy should focus on areas having large boat passage frequency and areas where bank erosion is most problematic (US Army Corps of Engineers, 2008) This issue is not unique to Prior Lake Active use changes are an emerging water surface use issue Impacts of Waves Outcomes from WSUM Task Force: Increase in boat traffic Shift in active use patterns Wave energy is greater when boats are accelerating or decelerating Shoreline stabilization practices are changing on Prior Lake DeWitte Public Access area: Unique location due to several compounding factors that are not all present anywhere else on Prior Lake Lake configuration –narrow available travel areas Relatively steep shorelines DNR access point; accelerating & decelerating Traffic flow patterns on Upper Prior Lake Impacts of Waves Outcomes from WSUM Task Force: DeWitte Public Access area: Goal was to reduce overall wave impacts in this area Considered several other options to address the compounding factors Narrow majority of the WSUM Task Force was in favor of restricting the operation of boats in a sustained, artificially bow high manner in the area south of Twin Isle The Task Force recommends creation of a guidance document for shoreline stabilization Impacts of Waves Outcomes from WSUM Task Force: Recreation was central to all discussions during the Task Force meetings; therefore, no Task Force recommendations are specific to recreational opportunities alone Acknowledgement that some uses are generally not compatible Passive uses during off-peak hours Active users weekends & evenings Active users generally respectful of fishing boats Some members would like to see a “No Wake Wednesday ” Recreational Opportunities There is currently no high-water no-wake restriction on Spring Lake. Spring Lake has seen an increase in the amount of boat traffic. Spring Lake has seen an increase in the intensity of active uses. The lack of a regulated slow no-wake zone creates a safety hazard for passive uses such as swimming It is beneficial for compliance to have consistency of permanent regulations between Spring Lake and Prior Lake. High-Water provisions should be based on individual lake characteristics. Spring Lake Regulations Outcomes from Task Force: A majority of the Task Force members agreed that Spring Lake should have the same WSUM regulations as Prior Lake. The City of Prior Lake and Spring Lake Township must pass equivalent WSUM ordinances. The ordinances would include the provision that a temporary, lake-wide slow no-wake requirement is enacted when the water levels reach the Ordinary High Water elevation (912.8’). Placement of existing ski jump would not be impacted.

Some of our best private enjoyment such as water skiing happens at sunrise and 1 hour after sunset. I would agree with the new proposed rule in adding Paradise Bay. I agree with the proposed rule except for the last bullet point, No operation of a boat in a sustained, artificially bow-high manner south of Twin Isle”, this is absolutely absurd and should be restricted from consideration. I believe the existing rule has worked fine for the homeowners on Prior Lake and should remain the same. Spring Lake definitely needs a restriction.

Due to travel constraints I have not been able to make it to any of the recent conversations or tonight's hearing regarding the above proposed ordinance. I want to offer my support for any of the proposed ordinances that provides for control of the use of bow high boats in the area adjacent to the DeWitte access and twin Island. In my opinion the shoreline and shoreline structures along these stretches of the lake are unusually impacted by the extraordinary waves that hit our shoreline as a result of the use of these boats. In my 2 1/2 years on the lake, I have repaired my Lake wall twice due to the ravages of mother nature as well as the "vandalism" contributed by excessive wake from these boats. Additionally, I had to replace a floating dock that was so adversely affected by the wave action of these boats that the hinges holding dock sections together had to be replaced and ultimately could not be replaced any further necessitating the purchase of a new dock. I can completely understand my responsibility for maintenance and repair on my shoreline caused by mother nature. I have a much more difficult time excepting responsibility for damages offered by the wave action of these boats for purely recreational reasons. In conclusion, I am very much in support of any ordinance that would restrict the use of these bow high boats in the area between the DeWitte launch and Twin Island. Sincerely, Griff Davenport Resident Griff Davenport, AIA DLR GROUP, CEO O: 612-977-3500 D: 612-977-3501 M: 612-875-9055 Listen.DESIGN.Deliver Sent from my iPhone 1 Ann Schroeder From:Peter Erickson <peterjerickson@gmail.com> Sent:Monday, May 09, 2016 4:04 PM To:Pete Young Subject:Lake Ordinances Pete - I attended the recent overview of the proposed lake ordinances but I am not able to attend the public hearing tonight. I am a homeowner on Prior Lake and wanted to pass along that I support the various ordinances proposed with the exception of the no-wake zone south of Twin Isle. I understand the rationale and it can be hard at times battling the massive waves heavy wave boats emit but after weighing the pros and cons, I believe that creating such a restriction will cause greater problems going forward to all individuals who enjoy the lake. Thus, I would advocate that suggested change be removed. What I would advocate for is education for big wakesurfing and wakeboard boats. I think they are great activities to be enjoyed; however, many participants drive all over the lake in circles and thus ruin the water from all directions for other recreational boaters, skiers, paddle boarders, etc. It's not about restricting where such boats go or their equal ability to enjoy the lake - hence being opposed to the ordinance restriction - but rather common courtesy to pick an open area while pulling an individual versus wandering everywhere and crossing into the spaces others are using at the time. Thank you. Peter Erickson 1 Ann Schroeder From:Mike Baldwin <Mike.Baldwin@integra.net> Sent:Monday, May 09, 2016 4:18 PM To:Pete Young Subject:WSUM comments I have lived on Spring Lake for 28 years The only part of the WSUM proposal I am in favor of is the High water slow no wake ordinance. All the others can be kept in place on Prior but NOT on Spring. Spring and Prior are two totally different lakes what might be good for Prior is not good for Spring. If Prior in one to the top 10 busiest lake in MN then where does Spring rate???I am sure not in the top 100. A 150 ft no wake zone is not enforceable with a few bouys scattered around the lake and I don’t the sheriff is going to patrol spring lake any more than before. If you want to do something constructive with water quality then do a study to see how much the sea gull shit goes in the lake when the thousands of sea gulls sit on the lake for months during the spring and fall migration. Have the city council pass an ordinance keeping them from shiting in the lake.It would be about as enforceable as a 150ft no wake zone on Spring Lake. 2743 Spring Lake Rd Sw.

I would like to make an additional clarification.Councilor Thompson asked a great question last night regarding ones ability to pull a tube out from their residence in a no wake zone such as the channel in front of wagon bridge/knotty oar.Sheriff Beck answered the question;NO,they cannot under the proposed new restriction currently they can).That is why Mike Thibault raised the point and is against it.Although I am not personally affected by this restriction,I do agree it should not apply to a property owner taking a direct route through the channel to open water.I just want to be sure everyone is connecting the dots on that clarification… THANK YOU!

Area Zoning;again,I am against any further restrictions on Prior Lake. Activities;vehemently against these 4 restrictions.Operation of a boat in a sustained,artificially bow high manner south of Twin Isle”I do not believe can be legally implemented nor enforced.Please review the PLA information regarding the Sheriff’s Office inability to enforce current wake related violations,and the Task Force wants to add MORE restrictions?Without further research,education,and funding,how will this new restriction be implemented and enforced? High Water/Slow No Wake;I would like to see information and studies conducted on lowering the water level on Prior Lake.As I stated previously,I did not start to incur erosion issues until the lake consistently remained high like it has the last 3 years.I believe draining the lake down will help solve the problem. 2 I hope from my previous feedback you were able to conclude that I am extremely disappointed in the entire WSUM process.From the selection of the task force members,people with clear bias and agendas.Recommendations based on complaints vs.research/science/studies/measurements from PRIOR LAKE.Personally I would like to restrict bass fishing on the lake to only the middle of the day because of their loud/fast boats waking up my kids every morning).Where/when does it stop?Kicking the can down the road on EDUCATION while the Task Force acknowledges EDUCATION as a central issue.Not having a clear plan on who is going to pay for the new restrictions,how the new restrictions will be enforced or not),and how the new restrictions will be measured for effectiveness.The collateral damage to other areas of the lake public safety/crowding)and to other lakeshore owners.I’ve rebuilt my shoreline each of the last 3 years,why isn’t the Task Force concerned about helping me?Again,where/when does it stop? Until there is serious research conducted,complete with measurements on before and after results,it is irresponsible for the City of Prior Lake and DNR to implement restrictions based solely on complaints.It is fine to not like ski/wake/surf boats,just as I do not like bass boats,but to draw conclusions without scientific evidence is wrong. My advice to the complainants is to do what the rest of us do;invest in your shoreline with proper boulders and buffering.If you can afford to live on the lake,you should be able to afford the necessary proper maintenance.Ignorance of lakeshore maintenance and/or attempts to pass along one’s individual accountability should not equal this amount of time and energy from so many individuals like yourselves and result in unprecedented restrictions on our lake. Thank you for your consideration.

Education;the word education is the first bullet of the specific policy issues the Task Force addressed page 4).The word education appears in the final report over 30 times,not including the table of contents or the appendix.In the Enforcement section 3.2 page 8)of the final report it states;education is the first step in achieving compliance with boating rules and regulation.”In section 4.1,Recommendations page 16),the Task Force recommends increasing education efforts.Despite those findings,the current Task Force determined education should be passed along to another not yet created Task Force or similar group.How does the current Task Force explain recommending more restrictions,that will obviously require education,while not addressing the current lack of education outlined in their own report? Enforcement and Enforcement Response time;in section 2,WSUM Definition and History page 6)it states;with 1 full time deputy occasionally supplemented by temporary employees assigned to ALL Scott County lakes and rivers,how does the Task Force foresee the new restrictions being trained to the sheriff’s office?How will the new restrictions help with improving response times? 4 Funding;in the Recommendations of Enforcement section 3.2 page 9)the Task Force states;to effectively implement this recommendation,increased funding for enforcement will likely be required.The Sheriff’s Office does not currently have funding for increased WSUM enforcement on Prior Lake or Spring Lake.”Who is going to pay for the additional training and increased personnel the new restrictions will require? Safety/Crowding;in section 3.3 Public Safety page10)the report states;as use of the lake goes up,crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern”.By restricting certain types of boat traffic in an already congested,narrow body of water,to one area of the lake,how do the new restrictions address the safety/crowding concern? Concerns/Questions from 4/18/16: Implementation and enforcement of the current provisions,150ft;what percent of lake owners are using markers,current enforcement,current effectiveness? What studies/research/science is leading to the new recommendations?The DeWitte Public Access area has MORE shoreline impacts than other areas of Prior Lake.”How exactly did the Task Force reach this conclusion? How was it determined which shorelines required protections and which did not? Are the new proposals temporary or permanent?

The current regulations should be more consistently enforced.There is an under utilized marker system available to all lakeshore owners.Owners need to take personal accountability for property maintenance and improvements.The latter is a regular operating necessity of living on any body of water...not something that requires new regulations in hopes of a zero maintenance plan. Until ALL lakeshore owners universally adopt the current regulation,and enforcement of that regulation is applied consistently,what sense does it make to initiate new restrictions?IF…if,you are going to impose a new mandatory regulation,why not START by making implementation of the current 150ft guideline mandatory? I am also against any new restrictions that are only applied to a portion of the lake,and are only targeted at certain users of the lake.This type of policy will only open the door for an ongoing and continued debate about further restrictions.Once this starts,it won't stop and it will create a level of dissonance amongst lakeshore owners that could be community changing. I understand the situation intimately.When we moved to Upper Prior Lake 12 years ago,we had a good 5 yards of beach before my ramp and dock started.Beginning about 5 years ago the beach receded with the rising water levels.Since the flood 3 years ago,my ramp and dock either needed to be removed completely or at minimum my ramp stays on the steps leading down to the lake,with no beach at all.Each of the last 3 years I’ve needed to repair or fully rebuild my lakeshore access due to the high water level.All this said,it is my opinion, and that of many of my friends and neighbors that you also will be hearing from,that the biggest issue on the lake has been the continued high water level,causing fragility and deterioration of the lakeshore,not lake uses alone. In summary,I own and co own 4 properties,either on Upper Prior Lake,or across the street with access/easement to Upper Prior Lake.I am also the majority owner of Charlie’s on Prior Lakers Holdings,LLC)on Upper Prior Lake.I believe this makes me one of the largest private lakeshore stakeholders on Upper Prior Lake,and most likely one of its highest 6 taxpayers.Any new restriction that is designed to protect”only one portion of the lake and its stakeholders,while shifting that perceived burden”to my areas of the lake,will be met with FIRM OPPOSITION. The questions I attempted to discuss with Pete and Frank are below for your review.Attached is the letter I will be circulating to concerned stakeholders via email,internet,and social media. My Concerns/Questions: Implementation and enforcement of the current provisions,150ft;what percent of lake owners are using markers,current enforcement,current effectiveness? What studies/research/science is leading to the new recommendations?The DeWitte Public Access area has MORE shoreline impacts than other areas of Prior Lake.”How exactly did the Task Force reach this conclusion? How was it determined which shorelines required protections and which did not? Are the new proposals temporary or permanent?

Attachments:Comment Card Prior Lake.pdf Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well and having a great day. My name is Jim Slater and I wanted to shoot you a quick email as the Prior Lake lakeshore real estate expert. As you may be aware, I specialize in waterfront property, particularly on Prior Lake. I have been on Prior Lake since I was 6 years old and have owned 7 different lake homes on Prior Lake, including one on Willow Beach where my view and my lakeshore privilege was facing south of Twin Island. When I lived in the Willows, we got to enjoy the ski jump for many years until that was taken away. They were going to move it but no one wanted the ski jump in front of their house so they took it away completely. I feel it's not a good idea to just cut off some water activities (water skis, wakeboards, kneeboards, or barefoot) on only part of the lake, because then it will just be more concentrated in another part of the lake, and so on. By taking this privilege away, you are taking away the private enjoyment of the homeowners on the lake who move to this lake to raise their family and enjoy the full recreational activities that this lake provides. This past Monday, I was taking my daily Lakefront Park walk and I got to witness a float plane landing on Prior Lake. It was 8:30am and it was spectacular. We all know how neat that is to watch that happen. To be pilot and live on Prior Lake and land a plane on your own lake is a dream. It'd be a shame if that got taken away also. I would also tell you if you take away the private enjoyment in one part of the lake, our property values will be affected. I have attached my comments on the comment card. I am passionate about Prior Lake and the Lakeshore Lifestyle it provides. 90% of my buyers come from other cities and parts of the country and I have to educate them on why Prior Lake is better than Minnetonka. I created a Prior Lake Lake Life video this past summer to showcase our amazing lake and the opportunities we have on the water and why it's a great place to live. I encourage you to think of our #1 Prior Lake asset and keep the right of private enjoyment to the individual. In all actuality, our lake is not as busy as people say it is, especially on the south side of the lake. And the people enjoying it there, live in proximity to it. The link to the video is below. I encourage you to watch it. This is Prior Lake and it's all about the water. https://youtu.be/EXbrsvFHQf0 I encourage you to make a decision that is best for everyone that enjoys our beautiful lake, not just a few individuals.

One clarifying point. I confirmed today with the post office we have no mail held (re: our old address). Also confirmed the continuation of the forwarding to our new address. We have not had any other problems with this. Also, we have it documented that we spoke with Kate at the City as well as with Scott County in February giving our new address (and I believe my wife spoke with you personally then as well re: clarification re: Dolan Seurer and his request for a variance). All of this said, I have also confirmed with other island residents that they too, were not sent a letter on behalf island land owner. Therefore, we find your explanation below to be completely false. Again, thank you for taking your time to explain your reasoning, and again, we do not find it reasonable, enough to justify” or legal.

Respectfully, Bryan Anderson On May 5, 2016, at 4:08 PM, Pete Young <pyoung@CityofPRIORLAKE.com> wrote: Sarah, Thank you for your comments.Hopefully the following information will be useful. The list we used for the direct mailing included all Twin Island addresses in addition to about 1500 others including all shoreline parcels,associations,and others who previously expressed an interest in the process.I found your mailing address on our list 2176 Stanford Ave,Saint Paul,MN 55105)so you should have received our direct mailing.In addition,the information has been posted on the City’s WSUM website,online calendar,Facebook,and Twitter,advertised on the City’s electronic message boards for weeks,and there was an article in the Prior Lake American. I encourage you to review the contents of the studies and related items which are posted on the City’s WSUM website http://www.cityofpriorlake.com/WSUM.php)at the bottom of the page.The WSUM Task Force was able to review this information and reached their conclusions only after careful 2 consideration of the relevant facts.They were also encouraged to locate and review other studies and information on their own.The purpose of having all of this data available to the WSUM Task Force was to make sure the group had background information and objective facts that allowed them to reach fair conclusions.While one of the studies went as far as recommending some regulatory language,all of them focus on sound science and relevant information about wave theory/behavior,erosion, shoreline/wave interaction,wind and watercraft generated wake,water quality,and more.Performing scientific study review was one of the more common recommendations we heard from the community after the previous public information meetings in 2015 and I believe the WSUM Task Force did a good job of incorporating this information into their process over the past year. One of the studies cautioned about over regulation of watercraft wake because it is not the only factor in eroding shorelines,but watercraft wake is definitely one of the factors in shoreline erosion.Natural waterways are dynamic environments subject to erosional and/or depositional processes.Therefore, adding a focused regulation aimed at giving some measure of relief to those shorelines most susceptible to erosion and located in an area with natural travel constrictions and heavy use,while allowing all other existing surface water activities to continue,is reasonable for Prior Lake.An additional recommendation of the Task Force is to create a guidance document for shoreline property owners with information about proper stabilization techniques. The area south of Twin Isle is unique on Prior Lake in that it includes several of the compounding factor types that studies have listed as risk factors for accelerated shoreline erosion.These factors include high boat frequency owing in part to the DNR’s DeWitte Public Access and the southern loop of the typical travel pattern of boats),potential travel lanes constricted by the island,and shorelines susceptible to erosion.This susceptibility is due to several factors including shoreline steepness,erodible soils,and varying stabilization practices.Other areas of Prior Lake do not have all of these risk factors confined into one small area and are therefore better suited to any slight increase in enhanced wake watercraft traffic that may be attributed to the proposed regulations.Activities such as water skiing,tubing,and general boating would all still continue in the area under the proposed regulations.A relatively small number of lake users would have to modify their preferred travel patterns to comply with the new zone. It seems reasonable to conclude that the potential number of boats we’re discussing is low compared with the total number of boats on Prior Lake at any one point in time.

For clarification sake: We find it convenient, and with purpose, that none of the lakeshore owners on Twin Island were notified of this. No one asked us our thoughts or observations. 3 We received no notice of proposal via the mail. Our addresses are all known (the island does not have mail service), as the proper taxes we are billed for (and paid promptly) make it to us without a hiccup. Can you explain why did the city specifically not send the Island land owners notification of this proposal? We found out by word of mouth only. That alone shows premeditation, bias, and is flat out unacceptable on any level. And “extensive” community gathering of information frankly was not enough, biased, and at the moment leaves us only in a better position legally if ever needed PS- We spoke with Katie, and the city and county on February. Ensured our correct address was had, and the previous address we had, still has a forward on it. As all the other Prior Lake residents, we received nothing. We have no reason to believe at this time, especially given the proposal, that this was purposeful). Again, the city employee conceded that only 1 of the 13 studies supported boat restrictions would decrease land erosion. Lots of people have strong opinions about Wake Boats, but City ordinances and regulations should be based on facts not a select few options/perceptions. If it’s actual been proven to cause erosion, pushing the issue to other lakeshore owners, and to be hit stronger with it (as a smaller area possible easily equates that) is not acceptable, or understandable to us. Water quality and erosion are lake issues, not certain parts of the lake issues. Increasing regulations in certain parts of the lake is like giving those lakeshore owners a free pass on shoreline improvements. There should not be any preferential treatment for certain lakeshore owners, we should all be treated equally. It was communicated that one of the key benefits of the proposed regulation was increased safety South of Twin Island. How does increasing Wake Boat traffic on the other parts of the lake not decrease safety for everyone North of Twin Island? Having spent nearly every summer weekend on the lake the past 5 years, I wholeheartedly disagree that boat traffic patterns will remain unchanged if these regulations are passed. If you honestly believe that the majority of boat traffic patters will be unchanged, what’s the point of even proposing these regulations? This year’s proposal clearly gives South of Twin Island “preferred treatment” and distributes the lake traffic burden to the rest of the lakeshore owners. Again, Thank you for taking the time to respond with as much detail and explanation as you did. It was much appreciated. Yet, we will continue to hold out hope for objective facts and fairness, and a decision that speaks to such on Monday. Until then, Sarah and Bryan Anderson 3434 Twin Isles Circle Prior Lake MN 55372 On May 3, 2016, at 8:51 AM, Rick Keeney <rkeeney@cityofpriorlake.com> wrote: Ms.Anderson, 4 Thanks for your input. One thing to keep in mind is that the proposed ordinance changes were the result of a lot of study and consensus building with a lot of citizen input,the latest organized group being the WSUM task force a group of people selected to have diverse points of view regarding lake usage.City staff is not so much the driving force behind the desire for the increased regulations as much as other residents of Prior Lake who are experiencing problems due to wake surf boats in their area of the lake. For clarification,we are not talking about a complete No Wake”zone South of Twin island.Normal boat traffic at speed,including skiing,tubing,and even recreational wake boarding with a normal wake would still be permitted to go around Twin Island.The intent is to regulate only bow high”boat operation producing an enhanced wake as employed primarily for wake surfing and advanced wake boarding big air stunts.So the majority of boat traffic patterns would remain unchanged.I believe there is not a significant safety risk shift caused by the proposed regulation. The privilege of owning lakeshore comes with a responsibility to maintain that lakeshore.Even outside of the issue of enhanced wake boats,I feel that there is additional regulation and/or enforcement regarding the proper design and installation of shoreline improvements that would help prevent detrimental impacts on lake water quality from wave and storm water erosion of the shore.If shore improvements are properly designed to handle normal boat wake and wind waves,it is not a huge additional burden to make them also durable against the occasional larger wake surf wake waves.I intend to be a proponent of additional reugluation,enforcement,and most importantly education of shore owners regarding best practices for maintaining the shore. And boaters also have a responsibility to mitigate the impact they have on shore owners.Responsible wake surf boat operators would know that their wake can cause damage to docks and shore improvements and even if not regulated,would take care to stay as far away from shore as practical. This issue is similar to many that the City Council faces where certain users of public resources are causing an unwelcome impact or burden on other residents or neighborhoods.It is always very difficult to find a good solution when there are directly conflicting desires. The Task force did examine the idea of a no enhanced wake zone within 300’from shore type of ordinance but there are difficulties in enforcing that because 300’is not marked with buoys.Also,although it would produce a similar result in regards to the Twin Island area,it would also prohibit wake surfing in many other bays on Upper and Lower Prior Lake leaving only the central portions of the main parts of the lake open to that activity which was felt to be too drastic of a change. In any case,whether we limit wake surfing by designating specific areas of the lake by bay,etc),or by distance from the shore,or choose not to add any official regulation at all,there is a large component of any regulation that is going to be a matter of educating the boaters as to what is allowed and where it is allowed.

Concerns and points of reference: 1. The current definition of “South of Twin Isles Island”: This definition opens itself up too many interpretations including everything south of the most north point of the island. 2. As I understand it, “Education” would be given to me and my husband about shoreline erosion for lakeshore restoration but no actual funds. This is completely unacceptable, especially given the representative for the City on Thursday 4/28/16 stated “We understand that if there is a problem that we are pushing the problem to other lakeshore owners”. a. This comment is very problematic for the city of Prior Lake as admitting, proactively with complete knowledge and/or assumption of “pushing” a property “damage issue on to other lake shore owners” opens the city up for lawsuits. 3. I am concerned with what appears to be bias level of information given at the education hearing on April 28, 2016. Although information was shared it was limited and biased towards what it appears the city would like to occur. A few of the examples of such are below: a. Example #1: it was listed that one boat rental company recently began demanding tutorial and educational boat driving tours/ lessons for those renting the water crafts available through their company. Did not mention contacting, or agreement of the other companies providing the same service Prior Late Pontoon Rental, Knotty Orr Marina, etc.). b. Example #2: it was stated that other lakes “including Lake Minnetonka” are looking at similar ordinances. However, the city representative did not state if in fact any ordinance similar to what Prior Lake is proposing has ACTUALLY been passed. c. It was stated by the city representative conducting the educational information meeting that 13 studies were reviewed when the task force was coming up with recommendations. Only one of the 13 studies recommended that a possible boat restriction or recreational use ordinance be implemented to have the level of lakeshore erosion decrease. That is only 7.5% of the research conducted, and hence the such research only recommended this but did not prove that it would be effective in the city’s ultimate goal of diminishing lakeshore erosion. 4. There were four reasons listed for the proposed area to be part of the new proposed ordinance, one of which included the high level of boat traffic. When asked, no such study was actually done regarding the actual full boat traffic levels as it pertained to upper prior Lake, but rather stated that it was based in perception or opinion alone. a. The current proposal will put the north side of Twin Isles Island and Lone Tree Island at great risk for both an increase in traffic as well as shoreline erosion as boaters will most certainly be utilizing the area for a “turnaround” recreationally. b. Prior to any boat traffic statements being stated in a factual manner I the city, is recommended and requested that actual boat traffic studies be concluded prior. 6 a. And doing such I believe that the safety concerns of having multiple recreational boaters moving at high speeds through the north side of Twin Isles Island will be a very large risk, as many recreational boaters anchor there and have multiple swimmers in the area. b. The swimmers from the island, as well as from the anchored boats, which include my children..... are not at any lower rate of priority than the swimmers listed at the Willows Beach area. Risk is Risk. A life is a life. Listing numbers regarding this is nothing but both repulsive as well as beyond biased. It also again puts the city at yet another risk. 5. Safety/Crowding; in section 3.3 Public Safety (page10) the report states; “as use of the lake goes up, crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern”. By restricting certain types of boat traffic in an already congested, narrow body of water, to one area of the lake, how do the new restrictions address the safety/crowding concern? a. What studies/research/science is leading to the new recommendations? “The DeWitte Public Access area has MORE shoreline impacts than other areas of Prior Lake.” How exactly did the Task Force reach this conclusion? b. How was it determined which shorelines required protections and which did not? 6. Do you foresee the new proposals creating any safety concerns (increased “crowding”) by moving all towing on Upper Prior to one area, potentially moving users from Spring to Prior, and perhaps moving all towing to Lower Prior? 7. As resented, it appears a 200 or 250, even 300 foot lakeshore ordinance of no wake board boats is in order.

For clarification sake: We find it convenient, and with purpose, that none of the lakeshore owners on Twin Island were notified of this. No one asked us our thoughts or observations. We received no notice of proposal via the mail. Our addresses are all known (the island does not have mail service), as the proper taxes we are billed for (and paid promptly) make it to us without a hiccup. Can you explain why did the city specifically not send the Island land owners notification of this proposal? We found out by word of mouth only. That alone shows premeditation, bias, and is flat out unacceptable on any level. And “extensive” community gathering of information frankly was not enough, biased, and at the moment leaves us only in a better position legally if ever needed (PS- We spoke with Katie, and the city and county on February. Ensured our correct address was had, and the previous address we had, still has a forward on it. As all the other Prior Lake residents, we received nothing. We have no reason to believe at this time, especially given the proposal, that this was purposeful). Again, the city employee conceded that only 1 of the 13 studies supported boat restrictions would decrease land erosion. Lots of people have strong opinions about Wake Boats, but City ordinances and regulations should be based on facts not a select few options/perceptions. If it’s actual been proven to cause erosion, pushing the issue to other lakeshore owners, and to be hit stronger with it (as a smaller area possible easily equates that) is not acceptable, or understandable to us. 2 Water quality and erosion are lake issues, not certain parts of the lake issues. Increasing regulations in certain parts of the lake is like giving those lakeshore owners a free pass on shoreline improvements. There should not be any preferential treatment for certain lakeshore owners, we should all be treated equally. It was communicated that one of the key benefits of the proposed regulation was increased safety South of Twin Island. How does increasing Wake Boat traffic on the other parts of the lake not decrease safety for everyone North of Twin Island? Having spent nearly every summer weekend on the lake the past 5 years, I wholeheartedly disagree that boat traffic patterns will remain unchanged if these regulations are passed. If you honestly believe that the majority of boat traffic patters will be unchanged, what’s the point of even proposing these regulations? This year’s proposal clearly gives South of Twin Island “preferred treatment” and distributes the lake traffic burden to the rest of the lakeshore owners. Again, Thank you for taking the time to respond with as much detail and explanation as you did. It was much appreciated. Yet, we will continue to hold out hope for objective facts and fairness, and a decision that speaks to such on Monday. Until then, Sarah and Bryan Anderson 3434 Twin Isles Circle Prior Lake MN 55372 On May 3, 2016, at 8:51 AM, Rick Keeney <rkeeney@cityofpriorlake.com> wrote: Ms.Anderson, Thanks for your input. One thing to keep in mind is that the proposed ordinance changes were the result of a lot of study and consensus building with a lot of citizen input,the latest organized group being the WSUM task force a group of people selected to have diverse points of view regarding lake usage.City staff is not so much the driving force behind the desire for the increased regulations as much as other residents of Prior Lake who are experiencing problems due to wake surf boats in their area of the lake. For clarification,we are not talking about a complete No Wake”zone South of Twin island.Normal boat traffic at speed,including skiing,tubing,and even recreational wake boarding with a normal wake would still be permitted to go around Twin Island.The intent is to regulate only bow high”boat operation producing an enhanced wake as employed primarily for wake surfing and advanced wake boarding big air stunts.So the majority of boat traffic patterns would remain unchanged.I believe there is not a significant safety risk shift caused by the proposed regulation. The privilege of owning lakeshore comes with a responsibility to maintain that lakeshore.Even outside of the issue of enhanced wake boats,I feel that there is additional regulation and/or enforcement regarding the proper design and installation of shoreline improvements that would help prevent detrimental impacts on lake water quality from wave and storm water erosion of the shore.If shore improvements are properly designed to handle normal boat wake and wind waves,it is not a huge additional burden to make them also durable against the occasional larger wake surf wake waves.I intend to be a proponent of additional reugluation,enforcement,and most importantly education of shore owners regarding best practices for maintaining the shore. 3 And boaters also have a responsibility to mitigate the impact they have on shore owners.Responsible wake surf boat operators would know that their wake can cause damage to docks and shore improvements and even if not regulated,would take care to stay as far away from shore as practical. This issue is similar to many that the City Council faces where certain users of public resources are causing an unwelcome impact or burden on other residents or neighborhoods.It is always very difficult to find a good solution when there are directly conflicting desires. The Task force did examine the idea of a no enhanced wake zone within 300’from shore type of ordinance but there are difficulties in enforcing that because 300’is not marked with buoys.Also, although it would produce a similar result in regards to the Twin Island area,it would also prohibit wake surfing in many other bays on Upper and Lower Prior Lake leaving only the central portions of the main parts of the lake open to that activity which was felt to be too drastic of a change. In any case,whether we limit wake surfing by designating specific areas of the lake by bay,etc),or by distance from the shore,or choose not to add any official regulation at all,there is a large component of any regulation that is going to be a matter of educating the boaters as to what is allowed and where it is allowed.

Concerns and points of reference: 1. The current definition of “South of Twin Isles Island”: This definition opens itself up too many interpretations including everything south of the most north point of the island. 2. As I understand it, “Education” would be given to me and my husband about shoreline erosion for lakeshore restoration but no actual funds. This is completely unacceptable, especially given the representative for the City on Thursday 4/28/16 stated “We understand that if there is a problem that we are pushing the problem to other lakeshore owners”. a. This comment is very problematic for the city of Prior Lake as admitting, proactively with complete knowledge and/or assumption of “pushing” a property “damage issue on to other lake shore owners” opens the city up for lawsuits. 3. I am concerned with what appears to be bias level of information given at the education hearing on April 28, 2016. Although information was shared it was limited and biased towards what it appears the city would like to occur. A few of the examples of such are below: 4 a. Example #1: it was listed that one boat rental company recently began demanding tutorial and educational boat driving tours/ lessons for those renting the water crafts available through their company. Did not mention contacting, or agreement of the other companies providing the same service (Prior Late Pontoon Rental, Knotty Orr Marina, etc.). b. Example #2: it was stated that other lakes “including Lake Minnetonka” are looking at similar ordinances. However, the city representative did not state if in fact any ordinance similar to what Prior Lake is proposing has ACTUALLY been passed. c. It was stated by the city representative conducting the educational information meeting that 13 studies were reviewed when the task force was coming up with recommendations. Only one of the 13 studies recommended that a possible boat restriction or recreational use ordinance be implemented to have the level of lakeshore erosion decrease. That is only 7.5% of the research conducted, and hence the such research only recommended this but did not prove that it would be effective in the city’s ultimate goal of diminishing lakeshore erosion. 4. There were four reasons listed for the proposed area to be part of the new proposed ordinance, one of which included the high level of boat traffic. When asked, no such study was actually done regarding the actual full boat traffic levels as it pertained to upper prior Lake, but rather stated that it was based in perception or opinion alone. a. The current proposal will put the north side of Twin Isles Island and Lone Tree Island at great risk for both an increase in traffic as well as shoreline erosion as boaters will most certainly be utilizing the area for a “turnaround” recreationally. b. Prior to any boat traffic statements being stated in a factual manner I the city, is recommended and requested that actual boat traffic studies be concluded prior. a. And doing such I believe that the safety concerns of having multiple recreational boaters moving at high speeds through the north side of Twin Isles Island will be a very large risk, as many recreational boaters anchor there and have multiple swimmers in the area. b. The swimmers from the island, as well as from the anchored boats, which include my children..... are not at any lower rate of priority than the swimmers listed at the Willows Beach area. Risk is Risk. A life is a life. Listing numbers regarding this is nothing but both repulsive as well as beyond biased. It also again puts the city at yet another risk. 5. Safety/Crowding; in section 3.3 Public Safety (page10) the report states; “as use of the lake goes up, crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern”. By restricting certain types of boat traffic in an already congested, narrow body of water, to one area of the lake, how do the new restrictions address the safety/crowding concern? a. What studies/research/science is leading to the new recommendations? “The DeWitte Public Access area has MORE shoreline impacts than other areas of Prior Lake.” How exactly did the Task Force reach this conclusion? b. How was it determined which shorelines required protections and which did not? 6. Do you foresee the new proposals creating any safety concerns (increased “crowding”) by moving all towing on Upper Prior to one area, potentially moving users from Spring to Prior, and perhaps moving all towing to Lower Prior? 7. As resented, it appears a 200 or 250, even 300 foot lakeshore ordinance of no wake board boats is in order.

As a veteran of lake shore living White Bear Lake, Pine Tree Lake, St. Croix River, Lake Minnetonka and now on Twin Lakes in Crystal) I don't even have to ask to know that a minority (most likely just one individual!) is at the root cause of this rule. I would like to know if this rule will be put before and voted on by each and every owner of lake shore? This would be the truly democratic way of moving forward with such a discriminating rule. If the majority of the tax paying owners of the lake shore find the issue of water tow sports to be an issue, then an impartial vote would be appropriate. But for the city council to take this matter to hand at the request of one or a minority of individuals without putting the issue up for a vote by the majority would be a mistake and an injustice. And how will this rule be interpreted and enforced? Will one be allowed to operate their boats at lower speeds if not involved in tow sports? I will welcome your response to my questions that I have asked you above.

Due to travel constraints I have not been able to make it to any of the recent conversations or tonight's hearing regarding the above proposed ordinance. I want to offer my support for any of the proposed ordinances that provides for control of the use of bow high boats in the area adjacent to the DeWitte access and twin Island. In my opinion the shoreline and shoreline structures along these stretches of the lake are unusually impacted by the extraordinary waves that hit our shoreline as a result of the use of these boats. In my 2 1/2 years on the lake, I have repaired my Lake wall twice due to the ravages of mother nature as well as the "vandalism" contributed by excessive wake from these boats. Additionally, I had to replace a floating dock that was so adversely affected by the wave action of these boats that the hinges holding dock sections together had to be replaced and ultimately could not be replaced any further necessitating the purchase of a new dock. I can completely understand my responsibility for maintenance and repair on my shoreline caused by mother nature. I have a much more difficult time excepting responsibility for damages offered by the wave action of these boats for purely recreational reasons. In conclusion, I am very much in support of any ordinance that would restrict the use of these bow high boats in the area between the DeWitte launch and Twin Island.

I have just recently (last summer) taken up the sport of wake surfing at the ripe age of 46. I still try to waterski a few times a year, but in all honesty, the slow speeds and softer landings from crashes in wake surfing are much more attractive to me than the grand wipe-outs I still manage when slalom skiing. When we go out we always bring a group of friends and we tend to spend a fair amount of money in the communities we boat in.

We moved here 6 years ago and have found a home in Prior Lake. The possible restrictions to be put on the lake have me and my young family very worried. We moved here to enjoy the recreation of the lake and all that it has to offer. We feel as though the city just keeps trying to put restrictions on recreation at the lake. Our community needs to realize that activities are going to evolve and change and our city needs to change with it. We have invested a lot of our time and money into our home on Prior Lake. If these changes go into effect, this will only deter guests and possible residents from moving onto Prior. I beg you to consider opposing the potential changes.

I am a homeowner on Prior Lake and wanted to pass along that I support the various ordinances proposed with the exception of the no-wake zone south of Twin Isle. I understand the rationale and it can be hard at times battling the massive waves heavy wave boats emit but after weighing the pros and cons, I believe that creating such a restriction will cause greater problems going forward to all individuals who enjoy the lake. Thus, I would advocate that suggested change be removed. What I would advocate for is education for big wakesurfing and wakeboard boats. I think they are great activities to be enjoyed; however, many participants drive all over the lake in circles and thus ruin the water from all directions for other recreational boaters, skiers, paddle boarders, etc. It's not about restricting where such boats go or their equal ability to enjoy the lake - hence being opposed to the ordinance restriction - but rather common courtesy to pick an open area while pulling an individual versus wandering everywhere and crossing into the spaces others are using at the time. Thank you.

As a veteran of lake shore living (White Bear Lake, Pine Tree Lake, St. Croix River, Lake Minnetonka and now on Twin Lakes in Crystal) I don't even have to ask to know that a minority (most likely just one individual!) is at the root cause of this rule. I would like to know if this rule will be put before and voted on by each and every owner of lake shore? This would be the truly democratic way of moving forward with such a discriminating rule. If the majority of the tax paying owners of the lake shore find the issue of water tow sports to be an issue, then an impartial vote would be appropriate. But for the city council to take this matter to hand at the request of one or a minority of individuals without putting the issue up for a vote by the majority would be a mistake and an injustice. And how will this rule be interpreted and enforced? Will one be allowed to operate their boats at lower speeds if not involved in tow sports? I will welcome your response to my questions that I have asked you above.

Page 6 final report;with 1 full time deputy occasionally supplemented by temporary employees assigned to ALL Scott County lakes and rivers, how does the Task Force foresee the new restrictions being trained to the sheriff's office? How will the new restrictions help with improving response times? 7- Crowding/Public Safety; Page 10 final report; "as use of the lake goes up, crowding on the lake and its impact on public safety has become a concern". By restricting certain types of boat traffic in an already congested, narrow body of water,to one area of the lake, how do the new restrictions address the safety/crowding concern? 8- Property Owner Responsibility; Owners need to take personal accountability for property maintenance and improvements.The latter is a regular operating necessity of living on any body of water...not something that requires new regulations in hopes of a zero maintenance plan. My advice to the complainants is to do what the rest of us do; invest in your shoreline with proper boulders and buffering. 9- Slippery Slope; WSUM task force is a wolf in sheeps clothing. LY WSUM wanted 300ft,TY its Twin Island. NY based on complaints,who knows and when does it stop? 10- Legal Scope of WSUM vs Property Owners Rights vs Lake Users Rights. 11- High Water Levels; personal observation, started 3 yrs ago with floods.
