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 tishermen, simple water skiers, sailors, canoeists, and other boaters have equal access to the Peltier Lake resource. The 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 negli!,rible compared with the 2,300 foot by 400 toot monster foot print of a slalom water-ski course. Here are the main points again (ii'om "A Solution" above): I. At the islmld 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 of Lino Lakes and CenterviIle. 3. Permits for slalom water-ski courses should not be issued. (With #2. this is not needed. However, without #2, this would go along way toward opening the lake tor other users as thetloats, 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 exemptions to any of the ordinmlce. (Tlus is the best way to inform the community mld obtain feedback from all the users of the resow'ce to coordinate a one-time event, for eXal11ple.) Authority: City of Lino Lakes und CentervilJe. 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 island. Authority: Anoka County Parks. Thank you. Wayne LeBlanc .
