Conclusion I'd like to see Peltier Lake given back to Black-crowned Night Herons, the Great Egrets, and Great Blue Herons. 1'd like to see that fishermen, simple water skiers, sailors, canoeists, and Oth~ b~~ers. have equal access to the Peltier Lake resource:!'he reSoUrces of Peltier Lake need local formal protection. This is a unique situation with its rookery and relatively small size and requires unique regulation. The impact of a fishing boat or even a single water ski boat with skier is negligible compared with the 2,300 toot by 400 foot monster toot print of a slalom water-ski course. Here are the main points again (from "A Solution" above): 1. At the island and north, establish a no wake zone. (This prevents fast boats from disturbing the rookery and preserves the sensitive environment.) Authority: City ofLino Lakes and Centerville. 2. The activity of skiing in slalom water-ski courses is not allowed anywhere on Peltier Lake. (This protects all users of the lake.) Authority: City ofLino Lakes and Centerville. 3. Permits for slalom w~er-s.ki courses should not be issued. (With #2, this is not needed. However, without #2, this would go along way toward opening the lake for other users as the floats, lines, and anchors might occasionally be removed so someone else could use the area. Realize, the course could still be setup every day all year still reserving the area. That is why #2 is needed.) Authority: Sheriff. 4. At least one public hearing should be required to grant e.,,<emptions to any of the ordinance. (This is the best way to inform the community and obtain teedback from all the users of the resource to coordinate a one-time event, for example.) Authority: City ofLino Lakes and Centerville. 5. The island should be posted as a bird sanctuary with no trespassing. Signs should be added at the boat launch, and buoys, markers, and other signs should be located by the is~d..
