P~(651) 429-8629 <br /> <br />February 15, 2007 <br /> <br />Bald Eagle Water Ski Shows, Inc. <br />Mr. Mark Spitzmueller, President <br />6521 White Oak Rd <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55038 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Spitzmueller, <br /> <br />The Park: & Recreation Committee met on Wednesday, February 7, 2007 and discussed your letter and <br />the proposal you and Mr. Dean Havel presented at the January 3, 2007 committee meeting concerning <br />the use of the City of Centerville's Park at 1601 LaMotte Drive as a viewing I staging area for the Bald <br />Eagle Water Ski Shows. The committee appreciates that the Bald Eagle Water Ski Club has <br />contributed positively to Centerville's community for many years and would . like to see the club <br />continue to perform on Centerville Lake. However, due to the shallowness of the lake in front of the <br />new parkland, in combination with the Ski Club's needs, the comniittee feels the Ski Club's standard, <br />normal activities would conflict with the park's theme of eco-conservation and sustainability. In <br />particular, the following issues are of concern to the committee: <br /> <br />· The large inboard/outboard motor activity in the shallow confines of the area is likely to disturb <br />and/or permanently disrupt the fish, turtle, frog and other lake eco-systems near the beach. <br />· The wake created by the boat(s) and skiers could exacerbate the shore erosion or counter our <br />efforts to curb the erosion. <br />· A dock, particularly a lengthy one that would likely be needed to provide adequate depth for <br />large boats, would disrupt the visual continuity of the natural shoreline - where we wish to <br />promote native plant growth. <br /> <br />While the Bald Eagle Water Ski Club's propo$ed use of the new parkland may not mesh well with the <br />focus and theme of our new park property, we encourage you to seek an arrangement with other <br />possible sites on Centerville Lake. Perhaps the Anoka County Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park's <br />developed shoreline area might better accommodate the Ski Club's needs. <br /> <br />~, 74e ~ 1J4Il44 & ~ (!4mfldttee <br /> <br />~S~Seelq <br />f',"...~ ~tWeA~ <br />~~~Uut4~ <br />~~~erMS~ <br /> <br />~~~~ <br />~~f)~~ <br />~ ~ ~tJIIt ';iIcrwti6 <br />~~~~.7_~ <br /> <br />;L/d <br />
