Dear Mr. Mangen: ~t<",-". April 24, 1987 You requested an update on the proposed public access at Sand Point Park on Prior Lake. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has worked cooperatively with the City of Prior Lake to purchase several parcels of land which will be of mutual benefit for both the park and the proposed public access. One parcel remains however which is a 30 foot driveway which has been used by property owners for access to the lake. The DNR commenced a court action asking if the Department could use the driveway along with state-owned land on both sides of the driveway for the public access. The court would not authorize such use and the DNR will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the property owners claiming a right to the 30 foot driveway. We will contact you when we have more information. Sincerely, ] J / " ,/ (I... "",i. , ,/ I. !~ /. Michael T.

Meyers and Zywotko: You requested a letter outlining the points agreed to by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and th~ City of Prior lake at our meeting on site on September 9, 1987. People attending the meeting were Bill Mangen, Parks & Recreation Director, City of Prior lake, Mary and Jerry Bonneau, Gary Zywotko, John Meyers and me. The primary purpose of the meeting was tu discuss specific concerns of the affected property owners and come to agreement on steps the City and ONR would take to ensure a public access facility that would blend in with the neighborhood as much as possible. The DNR agrees to the following in the process of developing the Prior lake public access at Sand Point Park: 1. The conditions 1-11 in the Prior lake City Council R~solution of March 15, 1982 that apply to DNR (attached). 2. To move the access dev~lopment east using th~ additional 50 feet of property acquired from Zvirbi1us subject to engineering ccnsiderations. 3. To construct two ramps to enhance launching and r~trieving of boats. 4. To place two docks on the site. 5. To curb and gutter the access and parking lot subject to engineering considerations. 6. To blacktop entire access and parking lot. 7. To fence the area between state land and residences from the lake to Carriage Hill Road with chain link fence and into the lake provided it is permitted (Bonneau's may determine a different fence between their land and state land prior to construction). 8. To build a solid board fence between Bonneau's deck area and state land. 9. To use extensive plant material landscaping on all sides and in the parking lot islands. 10. To leave as much of the existing plant material along the property line between state land and Bonneau's as possible. 11. To berm the area by the cul-de-sac similar to what was previously done on the other state land. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER , ......~--_..........,.._-....,.---_.. Mr. & Mrs. Bonneau Messrs. Meyers and Zywotko September 17, 1987 Page 2 12. To provide adequate car trailer parking spaces on the City's Outlot A and state land. An estimate of the number to be provided is in the low 30's depending on engineering considerations. 13. To provide satellite toilets. 14. To protect adjacent private land from the area and beach through use of a buoy system in cooperation with the county sheriff and to use appropriate signs. The City has agreed to work cooperatively on the signage and buoy system. The access will be used for launching and retrieval of boats only. 15. To provide a pay phone if possible in cooperation with the City. 16. To gate the access to snowmobiles and four wheel drives due to the steep nature of the launching area and potential safety hazards of winter use. Before any development DNR will meet with the directly affected landowners identified above and if requested, others in the plat to review and discuss the plans prior to approaching the city council as provided in the city resolution dated March 15, 1982. In addition to the above the DNR will pay the property owners $821.43/lot to purchase the 30 foot strip of land lying between the 2 parcels of state land on Prior lake. I wish to thank you and all the property owners for your cooperation in trying to resolve the access issue. Through the past two meetings and future meetings on the plan, I think that we will be able to provide an excellent facility and also be .a good neighbor. Upon return of all the signed letters indicating a willingness to sell the 30 foot strip of land to the state, Bruce Specktor of the Attorney General's Office will draft a document similar to a deed to be delivered for signature to each ldndowner. Once this document is sign~d by the landowners, it will be recorded in the courthouse and payment will be made. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, 0 n ~~~ ?j!u-]J; #~ MICHAEL T.
