BILL MANGAN, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
PRESENTATION OF SAND POINT BEACH ACCESS PLANS
AND AGREEMENT
APRIL 17, 1989
This item is on the agenda for the purpose of
reviewing and approving the Agreement between
the City of Prior Lake and the DNR for
construction of a public access on Prior
Lake. Staff and the DNR have met several
times with the residents of Shore Trail and
they are in agreement with the plans.
Enclosed is a copy of the Agreement;
a drawing of the proposed plan, and a letter
from Mike Markell to Dave Unmacht dated March
20, 1989.
Staff has met with the DNR, City Attorney and
the Attorney General to work out the contents
of the Agreement. The Agreement, as prepared,
includes items from the Council meeting of
March 15, 1982, the 16 points outlined in a
letter from Mike Markell to the residents of
Shore Trail, and the recommendations that were
applicable from the recent Sand Point Beach
Access Task Force. The plans, as submitted,
include changes from two meetings involving
Staff, DNR, and the residents of Shore Trail.
Modifications were made to meet the approval
of the residents as well as City staff.
In regard to the items not included in the
Agreement from the March 15, 1982 Council
meeting, the 16 points outlined by the DNR,
and the Task Force recommendations, those
items were determined to be City or County
responsibility, not the DNR. In addition, if
items were alreadr complied with or completed
they were not lncluded in the Agreement.
Items 4, 6, 7, and 8 of the Task Force
recommendations should be directed back to
city staff for completion.

BUDGET IMPACT:
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
The landscape plans will be completed upon
approval of the Agreement and the plans. The
landscape plans are subject to the approval of
the City Manager. The DNR staff will be
at the meeting to present the proposals to
you.
The construction of the public access will be
funded totally by the DNR and will be
maintained by the DNR. Staff would anticipate
some costs to the City, likely in the area of
staff time involved in the supervision and the
enforcement of rules and regulations that will
be necessary simply because the facility
exists next to a City park.
There are three alternatives to this proposal:
1. The Council can approve the Agreement and
the plans as submitted in addition, this
action would permit Staff to pursue items
4,6,7 and 8 of the Task Force
recommendations.
2. The Council can approve the Agreement and
the plans with any changes or
contingencies so identified.
3. The Council can choose to not approve the
Agreement and plans.
Staff would recommend Alternative #1, to
approve the Agreement and the plans as
submitted. The plans have met with approval
of the staff as well as the residents. The
Agreement was prepared jointly by the DNR and
the City Attorney and is satisfactory to both
parties.
A motion to approve Alternative #1 would be in
order to approve the Agreement between the
City of Prior Lake and the Department of
Natural Resources to allow the DNR to
construct a public access according to plans
as submitted.
