the City Clerk and Public Works.
6. LaMotte Park Grant
Ms. Devine requested a copy of the trails grant for Lamotte Park, which Ms.-

Discussion as to whether or not an.ything has been done about hiring an intern for a
summer parks program. Council Member Broussard-Vickers reported that this was
included in the 2002 Budget, but was unsure of where the process stands as staffing
and budget issues have taken precedence. Ms. DeVine stated the Park & RecreatioQ.
Committee would like to be involved in any hiring process. This needs more input
from Ms. Moore-Sykes and the City Council .

10. Pheasant Marsh Trail
There is some concern that the trail between Hunters Cro~sing and Pheasant Marsh
does not line up. COlmcil Member Broussard-Vickers said this problem was
discussed months ago and was supposed to be corrected. Mr. Peterson will check
on this and talk to Dan Schluender of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik .~ Associates
regarding watershed, grading, and COWlty permission to fill in the culvert.
NEW BUSINESS
I. Parks & Recreation Committee Function
Council Member Broussard-Vickers asked the committee how they viewed their
function in the future, suggesting it will be more of a maintenance issued opposed
to new. There is ~ture potential with Pheasant Marsh, The Shores, and ultimately
South Hunters Crossing. Fwd raising was discussed as a possible Parks &
Recreation function. Mr. Walters suggested looking at concessions at Laurie
LaMotte Park when games are going on. and perhaps involving groups such as the
Boy Scouts. This will be put on the next agenda.
2. The Shores Trail
Lengthy discussion as to the placement of 'The Shores' trail. The concern is if the
trail is put along County Road 14 so it can link with the regional park, what will
happen when County Road 14 is widened? Council Member Broussard-Vickers
reports Anoka County has applied for ftmding and eventually County Road 14 will
be turned into a 4-lane road, possibly between 2006-2010. Some options were
discussed in lieu of the traill1mning along County Road '14, possibly collecting the
funds and expand the trail elsewhere. However, the object has been to safely get
pedestrianslbikers along County Road 14 to the Regional Park. Mr. Walters
suggested we could perhaps get 10 good y~ars out of the trail before the road is
widened and would Anoka County replace the trail if it were to be removed due to
an expansion? Ms. DeVine read a letter dated November 5,2001 from the Anoka
County Department of Parks and Recreation in regards to a possible cooperative
_effort between the City ofCenterville and Anoka County, though it appears that
funding for trails within the regional park reserve will not be available for about 3-
4 years. The Park Planner, Ron Cox, would like to be kept informed of the City's
progress in regards to 'The Shores' trail. Possible option is to run the trail down
Mound Trail, some research needs to be done to determin~ if Anoka COtmty owns
Page 4 of 6

any of the property at the end of Mound Trail and whether the City could acquire
an easement. Council Member Broussard- Vickers does not know the cUrrent status
of 'The Shores' development as there are ongoing water issues. This discussion
will be continued at the next Parks & Re'creation Committee Meeting.
3. Skate Night
Mr. Peterson reported the first Skate Night had no more people than a normal
Saturday night, but with the warm weather it has been difficult to keep ice. The 2nd
Skate Night was cancelled due to the rink attendant being ill, and the committee
members were unable to get into the warming house. Mr. Peterson has informed
the EDC Chairperson, Aimee Fairbrother that there probably will not be any ice for
the Skate Night scheduled for Friday, February 15, during the Snow Biz activities.
4. Outstanding Invoice for Goetz Landscaping
Ms. Kris Sweeny asked the Parks & Recreation Committee to review an
outstanding bill from Goetz Landscaping for trees installed. There is some
confusion as to were these additional trees ordered, by who, were they planted, and
have they already been paid for? Ms. Stephan will look through previous. minutes
for any motions on this item. Ms. DeVine will look through files she has at home
from Mr. Porter. Item tabled Wltil next committee meeting.
s. Summer Parks Program
If the hiring of a summer intern for park programs is not approved by cOlIDcil, the
committee discussed the option of a program similar to last years with the Wargo
Nature Center. Ms. Peil said she' would contact Todd Murowski from the Wargo
Nature Center and ask him to attend the next Parks & Recreation meeting.
Process to reco~end appointment based on pr to council - letter from staff to
Suzanne after next council
6. Consideration of Ms. Suzanne Seely
Ms. De Vine explained the process of recommending a new committee member to
council Ms. Seely, who then thanked the committee, again expressing her interest
to be a member and departed. The committee discussed Ms. Seely's letter of
interest and voted to recommend to council Ms. Seely be appointed to the Parks &
Recreation Committee at the February 13,2002 City Council Meeting.

To: Parks and Recreation Committee Members
From: Kim Stephan
Subject: Update on Outstanding Issues
Qity Administrator, Ms. Moore-Sykes requested that the Trail Map
Brochures be placed on the agenda for discussion. City Engineer, Mr. Tom
Peterson inquired as to whether a decision had been reached in regards to
this item in the past.
The following is an update of the outstanding issues discussed at the
previous meeting.
The Wheels Park Insurance Claim
Ms. Moore-Sykes forwarded the attached SunRamp Solutions invoice and
police report to the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust and the City
is awaiting response in regards to this issue. The value of the ramp is
$2,195.00. I talked to the claims adjuster on Wednesday, February 27,2002
who called requesting a copy of the police- report. This had been preViously
mailed and faxed, but he did not have it in his file. He was leaving on
vacation, but reported he would be out in the next few weeks to take pictures
of the park.
MeetilU! Minutes
Subsequent to the previous meeting, Ms. Bender has informed me that she
has been e-maiHng minutes to Committees/Commissions on a monthly basis.
Ms. Bender did state that previously, minutes were not always timely and
with restructuring and additional staff it is anticipated that this will no longer
be the case. Please let me know if you are not receiving same, do not have
e-mail, have a new e-mail address or desire them to be forwarded in a
packet.
The Dlaaue for former ChairoersoD DoW! Porter
A plaque for former Chairperson Mr. Doug Porter may, be ordered through
ABBA Trophy, Inc, located at 631 S. Lake Street, Forest Lake. The fax
number is 651-982-~83 and the phone number is 651-464-8094. Staff is
unable to locate language contained on previous plaques and attached a copy
of 'The Citizen of the Year' plaque. The cost for a 7x9 is $22.00 and an
8xlO is $25.50. This includes 100 letters with each additional letter being
lof4
.05 cents. In the past, a polo, sweat or T-Shirt were given to outgoing
members of Committees/Commission. Does the Committee desire same or
would. they prefer a specific color and the Parks & Recreation Logo versus
the Centerville Logo? A catalog Will be available at the meeting for review.
It will take several weeks to receive the item chosen following placement of
the order.
Web Site Update
It was determined at the last Council Meeting that if Committees chose to
participate in articles of information being. placed on the City's web site,
information should be forwarded to Staff for entering onto the web site.
Concensus was that Staff would ensure accuracy, consistency and timely
updates. The process of transferring information to the new web site has
been started and copies of Parks & Recreation sections are attached for your
review.
Park Grants
Attached are the requested copies of the 1999 Trail Grant and copies of
three (3) letters regarding parks, requirements and grants. Ms. Bender has
contacted Mr. Tim Mitchell in regards to the 1999 Trail Grant Fund, Ms.
Audrey Mularie in regards to Laurit? LaMotte Memorial Park and the Acorn
Creek Park grant. Further research is needed to ascertain what has been
submitted versus what needs to be submitted for the matching $7,900, 1999
Trail Grant and Staff will keep the Committee updated as to the status of
these items.
Acorn Creek Park
. There is no deadline on the 10% retainage monies.
. The fundil1g acknowledgement sign has been installed per Public
Works.
. The Public Works Department will install the handicapped accessible
pads around the benches and picnic tables and the curb cut (ramp) into
the play area as soon as weather permits.

seat. It is to be a molded bucket, high-backed seat, not just ring and
leg holes. A disabled person will need assistance from another
20f4
individual to use the molded seat and is not intended for independent
use. This information was forwarded to Public Works.
Retribution Check for Tracv McBride
Two (2) retribution checks in the amounts of$I,252.55 (dated 08/08/01) and
$347.45 (dated 12/07/01) have been received from Anoka County for
damage to park equipment and placed in the general fund. Checks did not

with an attached note stating that the money be used for the parks or a park
shelter. Contained in the memo section of the check it stated that same was
monies from the Fete des Lacs raffle proceeds. Concensus of Council was
to let Parks and Recreation determine its usage. Attached, please find Ms.
Moore-Sykes thank-you letter dated February 19,2002.
Outstandinp Balance from Goetz LandseaDina:

in October of2000 and $3,771 in November of2000. Attached, please find
the vendor detail for Goetz Landscaping. Ms. DeVine stated that she would

Qualifying Requirements
1. Project Description - The proposed project involves the construction of approximately 2300
lineal feet of 8' wide asphalt trail. The trail is designed to interconnect several already linked new
and existing residential subdivisions in Centerville through the City's largest municipal park and
then link into the Anoka County Rice Creek Regional Park Reserve trail system.
The project would allow several thousand users to directly access a major public recreational
facility. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve currently contains picnic areas,
parking, boat launches, canoe launches, fishing pier, campgrounds, Wargo Nature Center,
Heritage Lab, a prairie restoration project, cross country ski trails, a swimming beach with
bathhouselrestrooms, playground, drinking fountain and Chomonix Golf Course.
Anoka County currently is planning to make several upgrades to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes
Regional Park Reserve. The improvements have been authorized and funded by the Metropolitan
Council. . The anticipated budget of these improvements is documented in this application. As
these improvements begin construction in the fall of 1999, the timing is perfect for the City of
Centerville to submit this application. This grant application is being submitted due to the
extreme importance to the City of Centerville and the surrounding area to have a local access to
this significant public recreation facility.
2. Project Goals - The goal for this project is to allow the following users to access the Rice
Creek Regional Park Reserve: hikers, walkers, joggers, runners, bicyclists, in-line skaters and
cross country skiers. The trailway is being designed wide enough to accommodate multiple uses
by a variety of users.
A secondary goal is to make the trail linkage to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
Reserve now, so that new residential developers will be required to make arrangements to design
and construct trailways in their respective new subdivisions. These residential trailways will be
required to link to Centerville's local trailway system which will then interconnect with the
trailway system in the regional park. The linkage will provide the City with additional leverage to
persuade developers to incorporate the trail in their early planning phase.
3. Project Costs - The project costs have been delineated by the City ofCenterville's consultant
engineer. The firm ofBonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates has provided a detailed cost
breakdown of all components involved in constructing this trail linkage project. This is provided
on pa.se 5 of this application.
4. Evidence of Project Support - There are several groups that have been involved in the
development of the Centerville trail system. Included in the grant application are a couple key
. letters of support. One letter of support is from the Pirector of Parks and Recreation from Anoka
3
County. The second letter is from a grassroots neighborhood group that has recently formed to
work with the City ofCenterville's Park and Recreation Committee for the promotion and
development of the community's trail and park system. If the application was not limited to a
total of eight pages, I could include many other letters of support from individuals and families
that have a desire to see Centerville establish a trail linkage with the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes
Regional Park Reserve.
5. AvaBabllity/access to 50% "hard match" - The City ofCentervi11e will use park dedication
funds to provide the 500,10 "hard match" requirements for the grant.
6. Identification of the sponsoring unit of government - The City of Centervi11e Win be legally
responsible for the project and will maintain the trail linkage for a period of twenty years.
7. Acknowledgment that neitber this funding source nor the "hard match" can be used for
ino:-house labor services and/or to meet existing payroU - The City of Centervi11e
acknowledges that neither the grant amount or the "hard match" can be used for in-house labor
services or to meet existing City payroll. We understand that only contract services, materials and
supplies are reimbursable.
Evaluation Criteria
A Site and project quality - As depicted on the maps that have been submitted as part of this
grant application, the trail linkage clearly connects local trailways to a major recreational facility.
The trail linkage is located in Laurie LaMotte Park which is the largest municipal park in the City
of Centerville. The trail linkage area is located on City owned park property. The park area is
very aesthetically pleasing. There are mature trees on the west property boundary and there is a
lakeview from the parking area. The City purchased the site from private landowners for park
purposes due to the quality of the site. There is a large parking lot in LaMotte Park that is
available to visitors. The parking lot was designed to accommodate 147 vehicles. There is also a
shelter building in the park that has modern restrooms available for trail users.
B. Public need for and benefit of project - This project should be funded for several reasons.
Last year a City youth was injured and hit by a car while bike riding along Main Street. There
have been citQ:ens that have attended Council meetings to testify about the traffic speed in the
City and the lack of safe places to walk and ride bikes. The subdivisions in the comm1."ity have
been interconnected, but until now there has never been an opportunity to link to a major
recreational destination. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve trail system
would allow the City to find a safe haven for those seeking a quality natural experience in the
midst of a growing suburban community.
I estimate that there is a population of 3000 -3500 persons that live within one mile of the
proposed project site. I would expect on the average a minimum of 200 users per day on the trail.
This would equate to a minimum of 73,000 user trips/year.
-If
C. Applicant capability - The City of Centerville is very capable of completing the project.
The City Public Works department recently purchased a new $48,000 mini-tractor with 8' bucket
and sweeper to have the ability to properly maintain paved trails within the community. During
the 1998 construction season, approximately 700 feet of asphalt trail was constructed within the
City. The trail construction involved three different contractors and tbree separate projects. The
result was multiple subdivisions became linked within the City. By completing .this project, the
City has demonstrated the ability to complete trail construction projects.
D. Community commitment to trail use - . The City of Centervi11e has shown that it is
committed to trail use by the heavy utilization of the City's existing trails. If this grant application
is considered for possible funding and you would like 100 hand written letters mailed to you
within one day of your request from various residents committed to using the community trails, I
can satisfy that requirement.
E. Impact on adjoining landowners in the vicinity of the project - There would be little
impact to adjoining landowners in the vicinity of this project. To the west of the project site is
Centerville Lake. To the north of the project site is approximately 15 vacant acres ofland owned
by St. Genevieve's Catholic Church. The Church has no immediate plans for development. To
the east of the site is residential properties. These property owners have been at past park and
Recreation Committee meetings to voice their support for the further development of LaMotte
Park. To the south of the site is vacant farmland that will be developed residentially within the
next two years.
F. Project readiness - This project would be ready to start if funding is secured. The City is
already in possessio~ of the affected property. The trail location was predetermined, prior to the
City regrading the entire park. Park infrastructure was arranged to allow for future trail
construction when funding was identified. The City would approve the trail specifications as
designed by the City Engineer, solicit competitive bids and then award the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder.
G. Provides year round trail use - The trail would probably have the most usage in the spring
summer and fall months, but the trail would provide year around use. The Heritage Lab, Wargo
Nature Center, swimming beach and Chomonix Golf Course are popular attractions in the
non-winter months. There is a hockey rink and pleasure skating rink in LaMotte Park that are
used heavily in the winter months. There also exists cross country ski trails in the Rice Creek
Chain of Lakes Regional Park that would be accessed in the winter months.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter to express my support for the City of Centerville submittal of a Cooperative
TraIl Unkage Grant to be designated for laMotte Park. Anoka County Is currently in the process
of developing the master plan for funded improvements In the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional
Park Reserve. One of the main components of our plan Is to construct a paved trallway system
that will link to vital areas adjacent to the City of Centerville and the City of Uno Lakes. This
trallway system will allow the communities to have access to a significant public recreation facility
which Includes the Chain of Lakes, Chomonlx Golf Course and the Wargo Nature Center. We
expect to begin construction In late 1999.
Due to our funding constraints, Anoka County is only able to bring the paved trallway system to
the southwest comer of Centervllle's laMotte Park. If the Oty Is able to secure funding to link their
local trail connections to the Rice Creek Regional Park Reserve, this will provide direct access for
over 3000 persons living In the Immediate vicinity. Many thousands of others from the northern
metropolitan area will benefit from the trail connection between the regional park and local
community trails.
I hope that ou will look favorably on this grant application. If you have any questions, please feel
free to c ct me at 612-757-3920.

To Whom It May Concern:
The CenterviIle Neighborhood Network is composed of hometown residents who are
interested in the future development ofCenterville's trailways and parks. The group was
established to provide input while working in conjunction with the City of Centerville's
Park and Recreation Committee. Currently, our network has five volunteer citizens who
devote their. time and talent to the community.
We are writing this letter to voice our support for the City of Centerville's submittal of
the Cooperative Trail Linkage Grant to be designated for LaMotte Park. This trail, if
constructed, would provide a connection to the Rice Creek Regional Park Reserve
trailway system. W~. feel that this trailway would offer an unlimited form of outdoor
recreation for the residents in Centerville, as well as others in surrounding communities.
The popularity of outdoor recreation is continually growing in our community, and the
primary focus is on biking, walking and roller blading trails. Due to the many residents
who have requested improved as well as additional trails in the city, we feel that our
community would use and enjoy the trailway system if it is constructed.
By connecting our local trail with the regional traiIway system, we offer a great
opportunity for family recreation in our community. If you have any areas of concern or
need any further information, please contact a member of the Centerville Neighborhood
Network at the numbers listed below. .

There are no accessible parking spaces provided and access to the park facilities can be
improved by providing connecting walkways from the parking area to the trail, shelter and skate
park. Overall, the park was well maintained and operated for public outdoor recreation use. I'm
sure the new skate park area Is well used.

Re: OROO-009 Acorn Creek Park
Dear Mr. March:
I recently visited the above referenced project, and would like to share the following
observations.
- the funding acknow!edgment sign needs to be Installed.
- a picnic table and area on the side of a bench should be on accessible surfacing.
- the access to the accessible restroom should be from a firm accessible surface.
- a curb cut or additional wood fibar should be in place to ensure a level access to the
playground area.
. _ - a molded bucket swing seat needs to be installed to assist persons with disabilities.
Please indicate by letter your plans to address these concerns. If you have any
questions about this, please contact me. I would be glad to meet with you on site to
review these items. I look forward to concluding a successful grant project with you.

To Whom It May Concern:
February 7, 2002
I am very concerned for the unique environment and wildlife in Peltier Lake and I am conceined for the
hWidreC:ls or-users- of the Lake. -On -
In 1998, 2 individuals got a permit from the sheriff and constructed a slalom water-ski course in a sensitive part
of Peltier Lake just north of the island right next to the Heron rookery containing roughly 800 birds. At the end
of the y~ bird populations seemed down and there was great concern. A meeting with lakeshore owners, the
DNa, Anoka Parks, the city oiLino Lakes, the city of Centerville, and the Anoka sheriff was held on April 27,
1999, and an agreement was reached that there would be no water-skiing in the sensitive area near the Heron
rookery (see meeting minutes in appendix). Some expressed the desire for no formal regulation. On July 7,
2001, I saw these same 2 individuaIs using a "secret" slalom water..m course again in exactly the same place
they were supposed to avoid. They had it rigged. so it sunk when they weren't using it so nobody else could see
it or use it They were both at the meeting in 1999. When I approached them while they were using it with my
concern, they said they "didn't agree to anything" and they "could do anything they want." The slalom course
turned out to be illegal because they did not have a permit to keep it in the water overnight. It is crystal clear to .
me that "informal agreements" do NOT work. If the Heron rookery and the sensitive environment in that area is
to be preserved, local formal protection and regulation is required this year. Even if these 2 individuals quit their .
activities, there is always the potential for anyone from anywhere to come in and do the same or worse. The
rookery has failed two years in a row and the roughly 800 birds may decide they have had enough and they will
never retum.
In addition, mostly coontail and other bene:ticial
aquatic plants were uprooted by their powerful
boats as they cleared a way for their course
causing environmeJ'ltal d9mage that can easily
be seen from an aerial photo (See figure at left,
the dashed line indicates the path of the course.
The counterclockwise curl at the end of the
dashed line on the right shows their tum
around). The lake is only 3 to 5 feet deep in
that area and I believe huge amounts of sUt
were ~ut in suspension by their downward
thrusting heavy V8 inboard water-sId boats.
The fall of 200 1 gave Peltier Lake perhaps the
worst water quality I have seen in my 22 years
on the lake and I suspect it could be due to the
environmental disregard demonstrated by these
two individuals. I have never seen before large
floating mats of coontail aquatic plants in
midlake or seen so many wash ashore like they
did in August (see pictures in the appendix).
After the sheriff'tirially made them remove the
illegal slalom water-ski course, they continued
to set up the course in the same location. Later;
the sheriff ~parent1y gave them a permit Later
they moved 1D.to at least 2 different main parts
of the Lake south of the island CSInmng hardship
and restricting others from full use ofPe1tier
Lake. I saw fisherman and other boats tbtced to
go around the slalom water-ski course they established. They essentially cordoned off their own huge private
area in what is supposed to be a public resource. .
Some background on Minnesota law and slalom water.ski courses is in order. A slalom water-ski course "
consists of22 to 28 buoys with lines and anchors. When in use it has an impact of about 2,300 feet by 400 feet.
That is, everyone else must give way to one boat that controls the area. When not in use, the course is about 830
feet by 100 feet and with its buoys underwater floats, lines and anchors, fi~h;tl8 is virtually impossible (see
details presented later). Current Minnesota law allows anyone from anywhere to setup such a course anywhere
on most lakes, use it all day, and as long as it is removed by nightfall, no permit is required. This can be done
every day of the year. To prevent this requires ajoint powers agreement and ordinance from both Lino Lakes
and Centerville. To keep a course setup overnight, a permit from the sheriff is required. In a meeting January
23, 2002, th~ DNR, Anoka Parks and others expressed concern for the rookery and did not want slalom water-
ski activity n~ to the ro?k7lY' Howev~, ~e sheri:ff atten~ that meeting said there is no =tion againstJt, .
so ae.weuldtsSUe ll-peml1t if asked. Agam. if the rookery lSto be protected; local formal re on is reql.l.ire([
In addition, the normal users of Peltier Lake need protection. The main part of Peltier Lake is about 2,000 feet _
by 4,000-feet. A slalom water~ski course has the effect of privately reserving for one boat, an area roughly 2,300
feet by 400 feet. In my opinion, Peltier Lake is so small, and so heavily used by fisherman and other boaters,
that reserving practically. ~ of the fishing area of the entire lake for one boat should not be allowed - not even
for even. 15 minutes. An exception, given a public hearing with adequate public feedback might permit the setup
of such a course for a special, one time, event, but giving one person exclusive private use of2,300 feet by 400
feet of public lake any time they want is ridiculous.
All indications are that an entire species, the unique and uncommon Black -crowned Night Heron, has
completely vanished since 1998, which exactly coincides with the start of slalom water~ski activity next to the
rookery. To me, this is not a coincidence. After foraging at night, Black-crowned Night Herons come back to
roost during the daytime (not nighttime like many other birds) and are extremely vulnerable to daytime
disturbance which is what would happen with a slalom water-ski course next to the rookety. An entire species
being wiped out from the rookery is very disturbing to me.
Summary - A Solution
I recommend protection with local tegulatio~ some~g like as tollows (:3ee. a1s~ the map in the appendix):
1. At the island and no:rth, establish a no wake zone. (This 'preventsfast 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 Centerville.
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 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 exemptions to any of the ordinance. (This is the
best way to inform the community and obtain feedback 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 island. Authority: A.i1oka County
Parks.
I .
I hope the various governments pull together and support an action that will help restore and protect the Heron
rookery, restore equal access for everyone to the Peltier Lake resource, and preserve and protect the
environment from damage.

I've lived on Peltier Lake since 1979. In 1989, I started the Peltier Lake Association. Here are some of the
accomplishments:
· Worked lake level issues when St Paul Water pumped Centerville and Peltier Lake down 6 teet in 1988.
· Participated on the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Citizen Advisory Committee tor 3 years and
leamed much about watersheds.
· Began a roughly 4 year CurlyleaiPondweed harvesting effort for Peltier Lake in 1989.
· lV!otivated RCWD to implement a $90,000 Cleanwater Partnership water quality study tor the Centerville
and Peltier Lake watershed in 1990.
· Worked dam level issues as landowners upstream wanted the dam removed and/or lake levels dropped over
winter.
· Monitor Peltier Lake water quality for the Metropolitan Council - started in 1989.
, Launched an effort to manually dig out recently discovered Eurasian Watermi1foil in Peltier Lake in the fall
of 2000.
.. In 2001, found $5,000 in RCWD grant money to help harvest and attempt to control the exotic Curlyleaf
Pondweed in Peltier Lake south of the island.
-, Voted Citizen of the Year for Centerville for the year 20@0.
- Participate in the Centerville Paik and Recreation Committee apd advocate community trails.
I'ill a:fraid that virtually everything I've worked tor in trying to preserve and improve Peltier Lake is in
jeopardy.
Details - The Rookerv
Peltier Lake contains a large ~derness island that used.to be home to ~lack-crowned Night Herons and a large
number of Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and other bIrds. The shoreline areas of the lake to the north, east,
and west of this island are also essentially wilderness. People rarely frequent these areas because the waters
there are only 3 to 5 feet deep with a loose silty mud bottom and the area is packed with mostly beneficial
aquatic plants. It is an ideal rookery. I believe it has been there a long long time.
On July 7, the day I.encountered the slalom water-ski course in use north of the island, I did not see any Herons
or Egrets north, east, or south of the island (I could not see west of the island). On July 8, the course was again
in heavy use. On July 25, I did a careful survey and could not find any Herons or Egrets anywhere on Peltier
Lake west, south, or east of the island. The Herons and Egrets seemed essentially gone for the season. There
may be some here and there but for 22 years previous to 1998, I have always seen Great Blue Herons, Great
Egrets, and Black-crowned Night Herons from my house from spring to fall essentially every day. They land on
the dock or fly to the delta at Clearwater creek about ~ mile away from my house. From my house since July 7,
I did notseen any B1ack--crowed NightHerons,arcai Egrets, or GteatBlue Herons-for-aHeast3-weeks. Most
significant, however, the Black-crowned Night Herons disappeared 3 years ago, exactly corresponding to the
establishment of the first slalom water ski course. Whenever I have gone behind the island by the rookery, I
notice that they are disturbed and flyaway. To me, it is quite clear that the activity of the slalom water-ski
course disturbed the birds.
The summer of 2000 also saw abandonment of the rookery sometime in June. The ONR estimates that between
1,000 and 2,000 chicks died when the adults abandoned the rookery. I believe there are two possibilities. It
might have been the 13SW road reconstruction, but it could easily have been slalom water-sId activity. In 2001,
the slalom water-sId course was concealed and difficult to see. In 2000, it could well have been setup and in
heavy use and no one noticed. I would like to know if anyone saw the USe of a slalom water-ski course north of
the island in 2000. That area is not easy to see from the main part of the lake (which is why the birds like it).
North, east and west of the island, most vegetation consists of native beneficial aquatic plants such as coontail.
An image showing the course cutthrough these aquatic plants is available to anyone via www.maoauest.com.
Type in "Peltier Lake" with zip code 55038, pick one of the results and recenter upward (northward) to the top
of the island. Click.on the "Aerial Photo" tab. Right click it and do a "save as" and lighten the image to better
see the track. The ski track is almost horizontal just north of the island angled slightly upward (see dashed line
in the image on page 1) and the right hand end has a counter clockwise curl where the ski boats turn around.
Details - Slalom Water-ski Course Impact
Almost everyone on the lake lives south of the island with the westem shore belonging to Anoka County Parks.
The area south of the island is narrow and small.
Reter to the map oiPeltier Lake with a slalom water ski course drawn to scale. In the center, is the course (with
its 22 buoys) and two turnaround ends (which could optionally contain another 6 buoys). Surrounding it all is a
buffer of 150 feet. The total estimated impact footprint for a course with a short turn around is about 2,300 feet
by 400 feet and for a course with a long turn around, 2,500 feet by 400 feet (course data from www.iwsf.com).
The geography of Peltier Lake does not allow tor easy placement of a course without severely hampering other
users of the lake. People tend to fish in a trolling circle around the lake south of the island right through the
areas where the two vertical courses are shown. With a slalom water-ski course on either the east or west side of
the lake, the fishing area is essentially reduced by almost half. Because Peltier Lake is long and narrow instead
of circular, the placement of a slalom water ski course anywhere dramatically affects the ability of others to use
'he lake.
There is no re~on relatively smaIl Peltier Lake should dedicate 2,300 teet by 400 teet to such a resource
hogging specialized activity tor one boat.
In the spring of 1999, r was canoeing around the island when
r discovered a float just under the surface. I pulled it up and
saw it appeared to be part of the slalom water~ski course from
1998. I looked around and saw another, then another. That's
when I stopped looking. I don't know how many more were
there. Permits do not extend through the winter. All material
must be removed from the lake. In August of 200 I, I watched
them take down their course in the main part of the lake in
the evening. [n every case I observed, they only removed the
top float. They left all the other apparatus in the water
overnight (which is illegal without a permit, but perhaps they
had a permit). They set their course up in the only place
where r have ever caught a walleye in the lake. With all kinds
of lines, concrete blocks and who knows what down there, I
wouldn't go fishing there. And even if they had a slalom
water~ski course that sunk when not in use, there would be
perhaps a 1,000 feet of hose, other lines and apparatus under water so you couldn't fish there.

There are alternatives for those who want a slalom water-.ski
course. Goose Lake,justsoutl1 of White Bear.Lake,haS a
permanent slalom Water~Ski course installation. Just across
the road, on adjacent Centerville Lake, there is a water ski
club that performs at least weekly. They already regularly
obtain a permit for a water ski jump and perhaps this club is
also interested in a slalom water~ski course in the same rough
area. Centerville Lake is much bigger in its usable area.
As boating pressures continue to increase in the future, it will
be even more important to be careful ~ everyone has eq-pal.
access to lake resources. Not pemntting slalom water-ski
courses just ensures that everyone can fish. boat, and water
ski with equal access to the Peltier Lake resource. It also
helps ensure protection of the rookery.
Details - Behavior Observed
It may also serve some perspective to describe some observed
behavior of the two individuals involved.
One family is apparently quite insistent on their occupation of public waters. Perhaps they heard about my
concern for the rookery. On July 10, I was visited by a husband and wite who rudely threatened me with a
lawsuit saying r was somehow denying them the right of their disabled child to ski the slalom course, or
something like that. They said the ADA was going to get me. They said they were going to sue the Peltier Lake
Association for numerous offences. I said I wanted everything in writing. I never got anything. An attorney told
me this is not an ADA issue.
Regarding the other person, all the years he had his current boat on Peltier Lake, he apparently telt no need to
license it. It wasn't until DNR and other vehicles started showing up that he finally got a license for his boat in
July. I have seen him drive his boat right next to fishermen when the whole lake was clear. I was fishing once
myself when he drove by within 50 feet pulling a skier. He happened to come back near us and my daughter
called out to him, "Can't you see we're fisqing here?" He said, "There aren't any fish there." I said, "No, o:ot
anymore. ..
My opinion is that the behll:vior of dll:lSe two individuuls should not be rewarded by reserving 2,300 feet of
Peltier Lake for their private Wie. Strict enforcement of new clear regulations as described betore are required to
protect the Heron rookery, the environment, and normal users of the lake.
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.. A\l"tQQrity=- Anoka County

Dear Wayne:
Thank you for setting up the meeting with the Peltier Lake Association April 27. The turnout
was exceptional. Everyone/s comments were heard and they provided valuable background on
the use of the lake and the history behind the development of the lakeshore. There is obvious
passion for the lake and a strong desire to keep a sense of community.
Anoka County Parks and Recreation appreciates being a part of the meeting. As everyone is
aware, Anoka County is a major landowner along Peltier Lake. We would also be glad to be a
part of any "future meetings. The St. Paul Waterworks is also a landowner on the lake.
Everyone connected to the lake has an interest In Issues that apply.
This note is meant to provide a review of the decisions made at the April 27 meeting. The
consensus was to try the following options:
1. Voluntarily keep any water skiing to the main body of the lake south of the
island. There was agreement to avoid skiing in the area north of the Island.
The request is to keep fast moving boats at least 500 feet from the island.
2. Anoka County Parks and Recreation will work with the water skiing sub.
committee to educate the general public in regards to the valuable natural
resource the northern third of the lake provides and the importance of limiting
any fast~moving water activity in that area. Initially, signs will be placed at the
public access to Inform and educate. Signs will also be placed on the island
shorelinededaring the area as a bird sanctuary.
3. Mayor Kim Sullivan, of Uno Lakes, will approach the sea plane operation in order
to educate the business about the heron rookery and the need to avoid the
area from a safety perspective for both the planes and the birds.
Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer
4. . The Department_of Natural Resources will monitor the rookery and the behavier
of the varletyof nesting birds. Lakeshore owners will also monitor lake use and
rookery activity. Perhaps this fall or winter all parties can reconvene to discuss
their findings. .
The residents gathered that evening seem very genuine about working together to allow
everyone the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the natural resources in and around Peltier
Lake. Hopefully, they have a better understanding of the rookery and the importance of
preserving the habitat needed to support the wildlife. Thank you again for organizing this
meeting and for guiding the discussion. Please feej free to contact us with any further
information about the water ski sub-comrnlttee. Let's hope for a wonderful summer season.
SIncerely,

Dear Joan,
Thank you for inviting me to today's meeting. I'm sorry that I bad to leave before
the meeting concluded but I had a meeting back on campus for which I couldn't be late.
Perhaps you will find the following hasty summary of my thoughts after the meeting
helpful in thinking about next steps.
We spent a great deal of time talking about water skiing but I think: we would be
wise to keep other possible explanations in mind. The following are nine alternatives,
. . pr~ented llJ_allthab.etic..1lrder, and .my.assessment af.the likeliQOOd.tha.t each is theu
primary cause of abandonment. Importantly, I've suggested steps that could be taken to
either eliminate each potential cause or at least to obtain data that would help us to
determine whether each alternative might be contributing to the heron/egret
abandonment. To maximize the probability of successfully maintaining this colony now,
and to maximi=?:e our ability to prevent colony abandonment in the future, we should
seriously consider all of these possibilities.
It is likely that someone will suggest that there is insufficient evidence to identify
the primary cause of abandonment and that no restriction on lake use should be imposed
until such time as we have conclusive data. I would suggest that we used that philosophy
in 2001 with the result that once again there was no successful breeding in this colony.
Given the status of this colony as one of the largest, ofa relatively small number of metro
area colonies, this is a matter of great concern for the entire north metro area. For the
health of the metro area ecosystem we cannot afford to wait another year for all the
necessary data to be obtained before we act. We must make an educated guess and take
action.
In my opinion, the most likely explanation is that the colony has been abandoned
due to direct human influence in the form of human disturbance (noise and physical
presence) in close proximity to the colony. . We should work with the community to
encourage the adoption of a no-wake zone north of the bog poles.

possmLE EXPLANATION OF COLONY
ABANDONMENT
HYPOTHESIS #1 Disease
ASSESSl\1ENT - To my knowledge there is no evidence of any 11UlSSive die oft
However, that does not preclude the possilJility that the hirds are getting sick
during the early part of the hreeding season and that this causes them to
abandon. I judge this tl3 highly unlikely.
ACTION PLAN - We sh.ouJd prohably he on th:e look ou.t around tJre metro
area for heron and e!f1'et carcosses. They cou.ld be evaluOUd forpesticids .
levels, West Nile virus, de... We could attempt to capture adults (away from the
colony would be best) and take blood samples to investigate health. If this is the
cause of colony abandonment then examination of only a few individuals should
be sufficient
HYPOTHESIS #2 Eagle Presence
ASSESSl\1ENT - To date there is no direct ~nce th.atth.is~'I1J1LOhlr:m
eit7ieriii-t7t.is cOlony or in Minnesota generally. Investigation of the Eagle nest
this post year revealed no evidence of eagle predotion on herons and egrets.
However, in other regions of the country there are records of colony
abandonment os a result of Eagle activity.
ACTION PLAN - Make observations of Eagles around the island to determine
whether there are any negative interactions between the species. Examination of
nest contents for evidence of eagle predation on herons and egrets would be good
to do again this year.
HYPOTHESIS #3 Food quo.nt4v/qlllllity
ASSESSl\'.IENT - Foodfor herons and egrets is unlikely to he a limiting resource
in the Chain of Lakes Park region. However, it is possible that the quality of that,
food has changed without our knowledge.
ACTION PLAN - We could attempt to capture adults (away from the colony
would be best) and examine body weight and blood chemistry to document
individual health. If this is the cause of colony abandonment then examination of
only afew individuals should be sufficient.
HYPOTHESIS #4 Health of nest trees
ASSESSMENT - We didn't discuss this at all and I've never been on the island.
However, it is hardfor me to imagine how ,this could result in the abandonrnentof
the entire colony.
ACTION PLAN - We could monitor tree health (could be correlated with the
risk of nest destruction due to branch breakage) and density of canopy cover
(could be correlated with risk of predation).
HYPOTHESIS #5 Human Disturbance (other than noise)
ASSESSMENT - It is.possible that noise is not much of an issue but that there is
a sufficiently high level of human disturbance (e.g., speed boats, canoes, people
walking on the island, people fishing) that the herons and egrets have abandoned
the island. I don't think we have enough information on level of human
disturbance to evaluate how likely this explanation might be.
ACTION PLAN -Monitor human use of the island and adjacent waters. Limit
use until more evidence is in hand.
HYPOTHESIS #6 Inadequate quantity antllor quality of nesting materiol
ASSESSMENT -It appears likely that this could be a limiting resource for the
colony. q nest material is in short supply, herons and egrets may be forced to
select materials of lower quality. Nests built with low quality materials may be
more prone to destruction. However, it is hardfor me to imagine circumstances
under which this would lead to a mass abandonment of a colony.
. ACTION PLAN - Augment the envirorunent with appropriate nest construction
materials early in the season (April) and document whether, and to what extent,
the herons and egrets make use of this resource.
HYPO'IHESIS #7 Noise Distu.rbance - 15W construction
ASSESSlVIENT -It remains possible that the noise associated with this
construction project was partially or even completely responsible for the
ahandonment of the colony in 2000. However, it clearly cannot be the primary
cause of ahandonment in 2001.
ACTION PLAN -Inform the Minnesota Department of Transportation and
. qthfJr oificespfUze 10catioll.oj.J:oncentrations of sensitive wildlife (s;g., celonial--
waterbird breeding colonies) and provide advice regarding steps they could take
to minimize disturbance to the colony (most notably avoiding construction during
the time when birds have eggs and nestlings).
HYPO'IHESIS #8 Noise Disturbance - motor boots close to the island
ASSESSMENT -It appears likely that this could result in sufficient disturhance
to cause a mass abandonment of this colony although we lack information on the
timing and intensity of this activity.
ACTION PLAN - Jv/aintain a no--wake zone north of the bog poles. Have a
discussion with the community asking them to restrict their high speed activities
to the area south of the bog poles. We should also post the community decision,
to maintain a no wake zone north of the bog poles, on the poles themselves to
ensure that visitors to the lake are aware of this goal
HYPOTHESIS #9 Weather
ASSESSl\'.IENT - A violent storm that destroys nests is often the cause of mass
ahandonment in colonies. However, there is no evidence of such a storm and/or
ofrnass nest destruction in this colony in 2000 and 2001.
ACI'ION PLAN - lv/anitor nesting status at regular intervals during the
breeding season and immediately following any storms that are accompanied by
with significant wind speeds.

ONE LAKE RESTRICTION LEADS TO ANOTHER. (S THIS WHAT WE WANT ON PELTIER LAKE?
>
ALARMING NEWS: Citv of Centerville Citv Council Meetine on Februarv 13.2002
A direct Quote from Wayne I:eBlanc; "...that's really all that we are trying to go for AT TIDS TIME becau~e there are
complications with trying to do more... "
We are sorry that Wayne. mis-interpreted what we said to him as a threat to "sue" him. No such allegations were made.
We did not threaten to "sue" the Peltier Lake Association. Why would we want to sue ourselves'??
I did not ski in the northern end of the lake prior to August during the years of 1997, 1998, 1999, or 2000 (only skied once in
1997,4 times in 1998. once in 1999, and twice in 2000)."
How can skiing seven times in four years 011 the northern end of Peltier Lake result in tailure ofthe rookery'? According to
Hayward Allen, the author of the Great Blue Heron: "There is no question that. once the young are capable of leaving the nest,
the parents immediately begin looking for a better place to feed."
"Instead of a hundreds of pairs. there are thousands or more hungry birds looking for places to eat. It does not take long for the
multiplication process to deplete existing resources, and that would explain why many adult birds continue their migration
individually, flying to even furthel' climes such as northern Quebec, Nova Scotia, Alaska or Greenland to complete the summer
feeding season".
Wayne-Jrtates-"...a1IDwake zonehasvirtuall\Loo impact on anyone...". ltdJ)~s imR~t evervone. It reQuces resal~ values of
your homes, because it narrows the effective buyers market tor your home. Also. this takes away privileges that lake home
owners have enjoyed on this lake for the past 92 years-since 1910, when this lake was defined as a recreational lake.
He states that only a tew homes will be aftected by this restriction. Even if that were the case. why are these people not
considered important? [fyou observe his proposed restriction line (500 feet south of the island) it virtually divides the lake in
half. This declares almost half ofthe lake as no wake.
The restrictions statt on the northern end, where/when will they stop? [t appears that they will stop when they reach Wayne's
house. Please note that this is exactly Wayne's words tmd [qnote: "1 would give anything to have a no-wake zone at my
property" .
These restrictions were initiated by a concerned citizen. (Wayne LeBlanc), who claims that he did not use the Peltier Lake
Association title. But since he failed to say that he was acting alone and not representing the Lake Association, it could be easily
assumed by city officials that he was acting as a main representative of the Lake Association.
Wayne states the main part of the lake is about 2000 feet by 4000 teet, but if you actually measure the length from the bog posts
south to dIe road crossing, it is 7260 feet long and 2640 teet wide. This is almost twice the size that he has stated. A slalom ski
course does not cm'oon off2300 feet by 400 feet. Each side of the slalom course only protrudes out 37.5 feet, and the skier only
goes outside ofdlis area by approximately one toot. As a concession. the driver can stop each time approximately 2 to 300 feet
outside of the course. shorten dIe rope and return through the course. This reduces dIe effective area to 1300 by 75 teet, NOT
2300 by 400 feet. This is a 943.5% exaggeration.
Water quality is affected by many tactors not mentioned in Wayne's letter. Other factors would include new development
fertilizer runoff, and the phosphorus from high population of curly leaf. which we are trying to control.
We view restrictions'as undesirable. We the lakeshOl'e owners have dIe ability to preserve and maintain onr rights and prevent
any restrictions on the waters of Peltier Lake. We can work together to improve the water quality of our lake by continued
removal of curly leaf pondweed. We believe in not discriminating against anything or anyone tor any reason, therefore
everyone should have equal rights for use of this recreational lake.
If you want to ask us tor more information please call at 651-407-0855.

It has tpecome very apparent that within the last coupie of -weeks there has
developed some dynamic, opposing opinions regarding the beneficial or
detrim,mairote thatrecreattonafboating and, more specifically, water skiing
activities may have on the Heron Rookery and overall quality of Peltier Lake.
Being ~PeItier Lake shore resident (and Lake Association- Board Member;,.1 am
extremely concerned that Peltier Lake remain "healthy" along with being
compl~y llopen" to the many diverse water activiti es inherent to living on a
lake. This "open" policy ensures that everyone's rights to use this public lake is
honore,d without-restrictions.My wife .and inave Hved in Centerviiieand used
Peltier Lake for the past 28 years (being lake shore owners for the last 9 years).
All tho~years, there nave not been any official fake restrictions even though the
population of Centerville and use of the lake has increased dramatically. Now,
howeverr, it seems there is an "Opmion that aft of a sudden restrictions. are
needed for the well-being of the lake and the Heron Rookery. Opinions are not
proof. '-WOUtd W8ntindispLrtabie proof, from authorities who know, that the
current proposed restrictions (wake zones and.no slalom water ski

I am fearful that beginning lake restrictions could slowly escalate into more
restrict\.Ons, everTtrJaliy leaving Peltier take soundesirabfe to live on that home
values of residents on the lake would be put in jeopardy~ This point will be a
major iSfSUS"for-all iake-shof'e.residentswhomaynow"be "neutral" on the

According to the February 19, 2002 letter from the Centerville City Council to the
Lake Shure Residents of PeftierLake {itshouidha\1e been sentto AL~ residents
of Centerville as they are possible lake users), it appears that this issue of lake
restrictions will be put forward as a proposed Ordinance.

Due to prior commitments, the March 11 public hearing will be our first chance

Dear Cities of Centerville and Lino Lakes City Colman members and residents of Peltier Lake,
We as concemed homeowner and residents of CenterviIle and Peltier Lake would like to express to
you our concems in 1'eg81"da to the proposed "No Wake Ordnance" for the lake in which we live. First
and foremost, we believe that both sides cftbis issue have valid concems that have raised. even more
questious that need to be addressed before this ordna~ is invoked. : .
We don't claim to be ex:perts in Great Blue Herons and tbeirways, nor 'Water quatity issues, but have
made some observatioJiS. We have lived here since the summer of 1996 and have seen many chauges.
We've seen normal winters, late faDs It early springs, aD playiDs a part in the eonditioos of the Jake.
W"rth low snowfall, late mIls and early ice out inspriD& we have learned that the curly leafpondweed,
(that the entire lake has beeI'! involved in removmg), has an extended growth 'time, which oontributeJ
to poor water conditioDS. We've leamed this by attending seminars presented by the DNR at Wargo
Nature Center with other homeowners from Peltier take. There have been JDa.J:Ay clumps, with the
growth of ()W' tiny little town, both AlDI'Imer and winter recreational use of Peltier Lake has iDc.reased.
When we first came here, a busy day OD the lake was having 4 boats Cmcluding oumelves) out at ODe .
time. That was 011 a hoHday weekend. The most actMty you could expect to see in the winter was the
use of the snowmobile trail. Vel'Y few iee fished and that too has changed.
Some oftbe questions that we are left with are:
II .Is the area in question large enoUgh to sustain a rookery of this size? 01' have they out grown
this islaDd?
., Has the ecology oithe lake ehanged to the point that the birds bavejust decided to go
elsewhere? Two maio sources of the Great Blue Herous diet are bvJ1i1.<<ts and frogs. When we
moved in we cculd ollliy catch small bullheads off our doclc. Now we very seldom eatc:h them
and instead find more game and p8D fish populating the area. Frogs also were abundttDt and
now are very seldom seen.
· What affect did the commercial harvest of carp have on the ecosystem of our lake?
· Has this whole issue been created by a feud between some neighbors?
We feel that a Lake.Association meeting should be held to discuss all of the optiou with the
homeowners on Peltier Lake. Before any action is taken, we feel that many aDSWem (with the data
and studies to back them up) are needed before an~ should mnsiderthis or any ether ordnance.
We came here 6 years ago because it was everythmg we Where 1ook:iDg for. A small, close--knit

To CenterviUe and Lino Lakes City Council Members,
We have ~ve concern regarding the said proposed ordinance being pursued by Wayne LeBlanc. He decided
to do this without notifYing and discussing it with the Peltier Lake Association board members or the lake
owners.
There is no need for any restrictions on this lake. This is a public and recreational lake. The north end is part
of the lak~whicn everyone shouldbe able to use and eqjoy and not to exclude skiing. We feel that the
slalom course is best at the north end of the lake because it has the right conditions for our slalom ski
course, qhe right conditions have to be light wind. no waves and even then we can only physically ski less
than a half a hour each), doesn't interfere with other rrnUor lake use, and this is improving the water quality
which the'fishennen are erUoYing as weil. Our slalom course has always beenlega1. There was a dispute of
the interpretation of the submergible course. This was resolved with the sheriff and he then issued a permit
for the coprse.
We feel he is discriminating against our skiing style. He states that he'd like to see that "SIMPLE water
skiers" ~ve equal access to the lake resource. Who is he to determine what simple water skiing is! So the
individuals who, are trying to improve on their skills should be banned from the lake'???
We feel Vl(e have ample knowledge of this sport. We were members of a water organization for 17 years and
also were show directors for tive of those years. We took pride in teaching water skiing, the importance of
safety on fhe water and to express our passion for this sport. We would like to have our future generations
enjoying and learning this athletic/Olympic sport.
We've skied on this lake for at least ten years before buildinguur house here ten years ago. Betore we even
broke ground, we received a phone call from Wayne LeBlanc asking us "what: are your intentions for the
lake?" TIps was a complete shock coming from someone fhatjust lives on the lake and doesn't OWN it
After completing our house, he showed interest in our boats and our skiing ability. There were times when
Wayne an, his family went on boat rides with us, taught them some skiing skills and even taught Wayne how
to barefoot ski. He also adapted his boat with qualities of our ski boat: by adding a ski pylon and a ski
training bcpom
In his original letter that he gave to the Centerville and, Lino Lakes City Council Members, he accused us of
not having licensed our current boat. attached is a copy of ownership and registration from the day we
purchased it '
'There has been no conclusive evidence showing that skiing has any adverse consequences toward the birds.
In fact, ScpttLanyon states in fiis'Jetter nine'dUTerent -reasons for-possible abandonment of the birds. We
know in the last several years that every explanation he has stated has occurred to this island This
recreatioqallake was-here before the-birds came to the island' and we'rewilling to share it
We believe the water quality last year was better than previous years due to cuttinglharvesting of the weeds.
In priorye8fS, we attempted to ctlt weeds alongthewho1e shoreline and spent several days doing this with
less favorable results.
One person's opinion should not change the fulure of Peltier's recreational lake. He is discriminating
against a p,mcular type ofwater skiing. There is a law against discrimination. We fee! that this lake is big
enough for everyone's use.

To Centerville and Lino Lakes City Council Members,
Re: Peltier Lake Water Zoning Ordinance
For the last 16 years we've enjoyed living on Peltier Lake. We have been delighted with the diverse range of
wildlife and the beauty of the lake environment. We are not water skiers. Although as a kid , I really enjoyed it.
Primarily I enjoy the fascinating display of nature season to season and year to year from my kayak or fishing boat.
Certainly I'm not an e.'(pert. but studying wildlife behavior bas been an avid interest of mine since childhood. In
fact, I had considered marine biology as a possible career. but love of aviation won out.
Over the years of living on this lake, I've observed a number of fluctuations in many species ofwildlife. As an
e.'Cample, some years the lake bas had a large population of wood duck and other years a modest number of that
species. I have also observed fluctuation in the heron population. I've wondered if there was a correlation
between the population number of these two species as I've observed heron eating ducklings. I've noticed
particularly that since the bald eagles have increased their use of the island, the heron seemed to have decreased.
To me this is understandable. Even though bald eagles' primary prey is fish, they are a large bird ofprey and
cause all other birds to be e.xtremely wary when they are present. While kayaking around the island , I've observed
the eagles circling low around the island putting the herons to flight. On three occasions kayaking there while the
ski course was being used, I noticed bald eagles perched on branches watching the action. I've also noticed heron
around all sides of the island where the eagles were not present This is consistent with my observation of eagles
and the resident heron on my dock who defends his territory driving off all other herons who fly near, but will
immediately leave if a bald eagle lands in our cottonwood tree.
Another factor to consider is what, I believe, bas been an increase of seaplane usage on the lake. When the
aircraft are taking off north , they usually skirt the east or west side of the island as they are climbing out This
possibly could be affecting nesting heron. A solution could be to request during the nesting season that the
seaplanes would avoid usage of Peltier Lake.
As for the changes in water quality, I believe there may be many more detrimental causes than the water skiing to
the north of the island. We have experienced e.ureme changes in water levels that may have played an significant
long term affect as the ecology of the lake takes time to readjust I realize the importance of a healthy weed bed for
water clarity, but it seems that the weeds get too thick and die creating stagnant water. Is it possible that the
clearing of some of the weeds on the north side of the island may have benefited the life of the lake? Our son who
does a lot of fishing has noted that the water in the ski. course was clearer and also was a productive place to fish.
In conclusion. as much as I love the heron. my observations do not support the hypothesis that the skiing on the
north side of the island is the cause of their decrease. Therefore, I would be opposed to having restrictions put
upon the lake usage at this time.
Sincerely,
Richard. Nelson

To: Centerville and Lino Lakes City Council Members
On February 6, 2002, my wife and I became the newest property owners on the shore ofLak:e Peltier in
Centerville. We had been looking forward to being a part ofthe~oonnunity. The fact is that we are actually
contributing to improvement of the neighborhood. Some of you may be familiar with the property at 1567
Peltier Lake Drive. With the help of some very close friends of ours (also Peltier Lake shore owners), and
the support of our neighbors, we are renovating a piece of lakeshore property that has been very unsightly for
the past eleven or twelve years. These people. along with us, are opposed to further lake restrictions.
The main thrust of this letter is to express our dismay at the proposal set forth by Wayne LeBlanc to place a
rwrober of restrictions on usage of Lake Peltier. My wife and I are rather upset by this proposal. We
purchased our properly with the knowledge that Lake Peltier would be a lake to utilize for the recreational
activities that we so much enjoy: pontoon boating, fishing. snowmobiling. lI.IUl wilUr-sIdlng. I have been
enjoying participating in many of those activities for at least eleven years on Lake Peltier. During these
eleven years I have come to know several of the lakeshore homeowners. For the most part, the lakeshore
community consists of amiable peop Ie who coexist peacefully. It seems unfortunate to me that one person is
leading an effort to impose restrictions on all users of the lake. It also appears to me that the initial efforts to
impose these restrictions were done clandestinely. I believe I have some valid questions when I ask. why
weren't lakeshore residents infOlTrled of the efforts underway, and why weren't all residents of Centervi1le
and Lino Lakes (since the majority of Lake Peltier is located within the boundaries of the city ofLino Lakes)
infolTned of those efforts?
I believe Wayne's main concern is protection of the wildlife (more specifically, herons and egrets) on the
island at the north end of the lake. As I have stated previously, I have been using Lake Peltier for recreation
tor about eleven years. In those years I have known the island is off limits because of the heron rookery. My
water-skiing activity does not appear to have affected these birds, as I see them every year, often on the docks
of lakeshore homeowners. Here are some of my questions on this matter:
" Why doesn't the noise and pollution from nearby Interstate 35-W appear to have affected the birds'?
. How is it that there are rookeries in the Minnesota National Wildlife Refuge near the Fort Snelling
area. and the birds appear to be quite content there? This is even despite the fact it is a(ljacent to the
Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport and is bridged by Interstate 494 (egrets and herons can be
seen as you drive by at 60 mphl), not to mention river traffic.
It is my belief that human beings and nawre can live in hannony. I believe that hannony has been achieved
on Lake Peltier, and see no reason for further restrictions on the lake. It is also my belief that human beings
should live together in ham1ony. As long as we are all law-abiding citizens, there is no reason tor one person
to create restrictions tor others based upon hislher opinions and beliefs. Tn this time of war against
tCITorism, isn't the idea of imposing one's beliefs upon others the basis for many terrorists' acts?
1 ask that no new ordinances be put into place regarding the usage of Lake Peltier. Thank you for your
attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dave and Deb Loomis
~
To Wayne LeBlanc and Members of the Lake Association Board.
I was very alarmed by the information that r received today, Sunday February 16th 2002. I am referring to a proposal Wayne leBlanc
presented to the City of Centerville regarding restrictions on Peltier Lake. I agree that ALL the lakehome owners should have a say in thQ
activity of Lake Peltier and I believed, up until now, that this is what the Lake Association Board was all about. I expected iftl1ere was any
sort of controversy that a meeting would be held and those lakehome owners that wanted / could attend would be present to hear what was
being said and voice an opinion.. I did not expect to bear that an individual, especially the President of the Lake Association, would propose a
restriction, without at leastletting the rest of the lakeowners know about it and have a voice.
My husband and I decided to buy a house on Lake Peltier in the Summer I Fall of94. We both wanted to live on a lake and liked the,
proximity of Lake Peltier as well as the fact that there were no restrictions. FriendS ofours live on a lake in the Twin Cities area, where they
are restricted to skiing only at certain times, speed limits, one direction around the lake, etc.. We e.xplicitly looked for lake homes without
restrictions. We were both excited when we found our bome and really enjoyed the view, the amount of property we were able to get, and the
fact that the East side will remain uninhabited as part of the Rice Creek Watershed area. We bought this home, intending it to be permanent,
knowing we would enjoy the view as well as the motorized activities on the Lake. Our plans were / are to encourage fiunilyactivities and
watch our children enjoy the sports on the lake, the beauty of the lake, and to be respectful and neighborly.
r am by no means in favor of putting a No- Wake zone on Lake Peltier. This lake is small to begin with and what you are proposing is taking
up resources and area that we currently use. We do not slalom ski behind the island, nor is it in our plan to do this. In fuct we hardly ever
choose to go behind the island and when we do. it is always at a no-wake speed. What you are proposing are changing the rules and taking
things away from us, that we have had access to in the past, the sides of the islands. I am angry, that as the President of the Lake .
Association, that you chose to make these proposaJs quietly. I will admit that neither my husband nor I take a huge active role in the Lake
Association, but when we do get flyers in the mail, one of us is usually able to attend the meetings and does so. Plus we have played a very
active role in cutting, contributing, and dragging weeds out ~fthe water to increase the quality of Lake Peltier. I am saddened that we
couldn't have heard about this in a more team-oriented / constructive way.
I do not know nor claim to be an expert on the Heron species, but I can say, that every summer we always have one hanging out on our boat
lift (check the holes in our canopy) and on our dock, as do our next door neighbors. We watch them hunt for fish by our dock quite often.
We live on the Northeast side of the lake, where the houses are not so clOse in proximity. Maybe this is one reason. that we still see them on
a daily basis and you do not.
I am also saddened that you chose to attack some individuals on the lake-and to speD it out in a letter. I would think the neighborly and a fur
better approach would be for the Lake Association to get together and discuss this in a professional and non-hostile way. The people that you
slander. are also the people who were kind enough to host the first Lake Association party. They are also our neighbors who have been very
kind and generous to my family at all times. The amount of time that I see them use the slalom course is not as large as you imply in your
memo. I will admit, that I do not go out and check to see if the course is sunken. nor do [ go to check the North side of the island. To me, it
appears that they are always cordial and polite about putting it down and taking it back up. I would much prefer to have the slalom course
(which we do not use), in front of my house than have the No-Wake zone proposall1!
I do understand and know that people have different thoughts and ideas on what the use of the Lake should be. I bave not seen a decrease in
the amount of Heron's hanging around our home, but once again, I am not an expert and do not know the species of these birds. However my
children. who are 5 and 2, knew what a Blue Heron was last summer and were no longer. amazed when they saw one, since they saw them so
frequently.
I also understand that not everyone will agree on everything and that an acceptable answer is that it is ok to disagree. I have also been taught
that people can work out their differences and find a solution. No one that lives on Lake Peltier or serves on the Lake Association Board
owns this lake, nor should they have the ability to dictate what happens on this lake without the majority oftbe lakehome owners knowing
about this or agreeing to it
I hope this issue can be resolved iu a professional and constructive way. (apologize fur the tone of my letter, but I still believe everyone on
the lake has the right to know what is being proposed, prior to the proposal and to voice their acceptance or disapproval ,of it
Sincerely,
Shelly Farmerie
To Wayne LeBlanc and Members of the Lake Association Board,.
After reading Wayne's proposal to the City of Centerville to impose restrictions on Peltier Lake, I was very disturbed. Many of arguments in
the letter are either invalid or pure opinion, yet it was presented to a governing body in an official manor to convince them to"take action as a
result of it. Action tbata large number oflake shore owners may not agree with. I strongly disagree with the proposed restrictions and I
know of several lake home owners that share my opinion.
I'll start from the top. Wayne states that a waterski course was constructed "in a "sensitive" part ofPeJtier Lake. Sensitive? Why is it
considered sensitive? He said it harbors coontail and other beneficial aquatic plants. I was back in that "sensitive" area several times last
summer, and a large portion of it is covered with a disgusting green slimy algae. The weeds are so thick they are probably choking all the
oxygen out of the water. I d~'t see that area as having "beneficial aquatic plants". As tor the coontai~ when we first moved here in 1994,
the first couple summers it was common to find floating reed bogs (with coontail) that bad drifted in to our lake frontage. Interesting~ that
Wayne said "I have never seen before large floating mats of coontail aquatic plants in midlake or seen so many wash ashore like they did in
August." I couldn't disagree more. They were a menace. For the last several years (3-41) the reed bogs have been rare. I don't see any
evidence ofa waterski course damaging coontail. If the waterski boats are clearing a path through those weeds that were so thick you could
practicaUy walk on them, I'd see that as a benefit.
OK. so put the weed argument aside. Wayne probably also thinks it is a sensitive area because of the Herons. Boat traffic in that area is
surely harassing those pour Herons. Based on what? Herons are afraid of boats? Is that why they sit on our boat lift canopy every morning?
I don't believe for a second that the Herons were disturbed by boat lraffic. We've seen them flying over aU areas of the lake, boat traffic or'
not. He claims their disappearance coincides with the presence of the ski course. Well as T recall, it was around the time that Wayne and "his
select followers started publicly opposing the ski course (1999), that the heaviest population of the birds was observed. We continued to see
the heavy population of birds all the while the ski course was still in use. When they removed the course, the next year the Herons had left the
island. So the whole summer that the course was NOT back there, the birds were not inhabiting the island. Isn't it likely that they just over-
populated their nesting grounds and moved on?
Wayne said he believes buge amounts ofsiJt were put in suspension by the ski boat traffic, and that the water quality this fill! was the worst in
22 years, which be attributes to the ski boats. First of ~ [ disagree that Fall 200 1 was the worst water quality. I remember it being much
worse the previous year (summer of2oo0), and that was the year that there was no slalom course north of the island Second,. be said be
"believes" the silt was put in suspension. No met, no evidence, just his opinion. Third, even if silt was stirred up, the weeds are so thick
back there I really think the water quality in that area would be severely hampered from migrating to the rest of the lake.
Wayne said after the sheriff made them remove the waterski course they continued to set up the course in the same location. He neglected to
mention the sheriff gave them 2 weeks to remove it They used it in the 2 week period. Later they moved it to 2 different parts of the lake,
which Wayne says caused hardship and restricted others from full use of the lake. He said "They essentially cordoned off their own huge
private area in what is supposed to be a public reSource." I strongly disagree. The ski course was right in front of our bouse. We bad no
problem. boating through it. We saw plenty of other non-skiing boats go through it. The primary reason boats would avoid it was when
people were using it tor skiin& and that is going to bappen wbether there is a course there or not. It is not "claiming" a section of the lake as
Wayne portrayed it to be. His argument ofit reserving an area 2300 ft by 400 ft is quite inaccurate. The distance between the outside buoys
is 7S ft. How did the 7S get inflated to 4001 It is because Wayne decided to give it an arbitrary 150ft buffer around the outside buoys. He
claimed that Peltier Lake is small. and this inflated 2300ft by 400ft area was taking practically 1/2 oftha fishing area ofa 2000 by 4OO0ft
lake. This is also invalid. Even if you accept his inflated footprint, which in good fiUth you cannot, it doesn't work out to even close to 1/2.
Plus, I know of at least 3 other lakes:
IsIand Lake in Shoreview, Reshanau Lake in Lino Lakes, and Sunset Lake in Washington County, that are SMALLER than Peltier and have
bad water ski courses on them. He suggested that CCltlterviUe Lake is a possible alternative for a ski course because it is much bigger in its
"usable area". To me that implies that north end of Peltier Lake (north of the island) is not usable. I disagree with declaring that area of the
lake as unusable. It is plenty usable with a water ski course back there. It is usable for boating around the island,. and I don't feel like we
should be limited to no wake speed when we do so.
He also said fishing is virtually impossible around the ski Course. Well. one of the lake home owners in our area stated that fishing was
improved by the area where the ski course was, because the weeds weren't so thick. There's nothing to prevent people from fishing in the ski
course area except when it is actually in use, which is a small percentage of time.
Wayne's letter portrays these indivuals as selfish and inconsiderate. Yet" these are the same people that were generous enough to host a Lake
Association Party, inviting every lake bome owner on the lake. They are the same people that went to considerable time and trouble to line
up a professional weed cutter to harvest the Curly LeafPondweed which has exploded in population the last several years. I noticed Wayne
said nothing about that as a possible cause of diminishing water quality. These people are always willing to help their neighbors, and
Wayne's portrayal of them was innaccurate and unjust.
Tbe bottom line is that a decision like this that will affect all lake home owners should not be decided based on the opinions and comments of
one man. It should be based on a majority vote of all the lake borne owners.
Sincerely,
Henry Farmerie
To: Peltier Lake Shore Owners
February 20, 2002
The future of Peltier Lake is in your hands. Before vou mal{e a decision.. make sure vou have all the
information. Do YOU want to save the Heron rookery. or should we exterminate it? Choose
carefully. this is a one time only decision that orobably can't be reversed.
You may have received a letter from Shelly and Henry Farmerie and they ask why I didn't have a Lake
Association meeting. Shelly and Henry may not know this. Let me explain. When the slalom water-ski
course was setup last summer no~ of the island, it broke an agreement moderated by the DNR and .
Anoka Parks. When I started asking a few people questions about the situation, I suddenly found Jerry
and Cindy Lindnex.: on my doorstep threatening to sue me with everything they could think of. They also
threatened to sue the Lake Association. Their threats were of such a nature that I had no choice but to quit
talking to people. I didn't know what they were going to do next. I wanted to get people together to
discuss it, but couldn't. How could I discuss something with someone whose immediate response was a
law suit threat? Besides, if no government agency cared about the Herons, there was no point in doing
anything. So I let the authorities decide what they wanted to do. It would be up to them, not me. It took
them a while, but they did decide to take ownership of the issue. And I never pretended to represent the
Peltier Lake Association. I was just a concerned citizen. You will not see Peltier Lake Association on any
of my letters.
Many people may not realize how sensitive and rare this rookery of roughly 800 Herons really is. It is the
second largest in the 7 county metro area and the only one in Anoka county. These birds do not nest in
backyards or even in a woods; they require a secluded, undisturbed, natural setting, and typically, only a
wilderness island will do, as happens to be found here. Former rookeries on Rice Lake and Howard Lake
were abandoned because of human disturbance. It doesn't take much and the birds leave.. This island in
Peltier Lake is rare indeed. Isn't it worth protecting?
The DNR and Anoka Parks think so and, in 1998, they asked everyone to please avoid high speed boating
and skiing north of the island to protect the rookery and environment. Several wanted this to be an
infonna! agreement to avoid formal regulation (see the meeting letter). I was discowaged when on July 7,
2001, I saw the slalom water-ski course setup again and in use right next to the rookery. When I asked
about the agreement, they said they didn't agree to anything and they could do what they want. They
insisted the birds were fine, but I didn't see a single bird anywhere. Normally, they are everywhere in that
secluded area of the lake. The course was illegal because they didn't have a permit. I found out the course
was rigged to submerge when they weren't using it so it could be kept secret and no one else could use it
It is crystal clear to me that the informal agreement did not work.
The rookery has failed 2 years in a row and the DNR is worried that this may be the last chance to save
them. If another slalom water-ski course is established north of the island in 2002, the rookery may well
be deserted forever. .
The DNR and Anoka Parks are proposing a no-wake (go slow) zone just south of the island that extends
northward. There are no motor size or other. limitations - only, go slow. There are a few houses on the
north end that would be atTected by this proposed no-wake zone. The DNR wants to give the Herons a bit
of a buffer to high speed traffic so they have a good chance of succeeding on the island and that is why
the proposed no-wake zone is slightly south of the island. Is it really too much to ask to give them a little
space so the 800 birds will stay? And by space, all we mean is please go slow? If you are in the prol}osed
no-wake zone. nlease consider this: I would trlve iust about anvthinl! to have a no-wake zone at mv
l}ro\,erty. I would love to have some kind of buffer to the high-speed boat traffic by my house. Many lakes
actually have a 300-foot no-wake buffer zone all around their shore to protect the bottom sediments and
the aquatic plants and the people. And fishermen and other boaters like kayakers should consider this:
fishing and boating in the no-wake zone provides a safety zone free of high-speed boats. 1 personally
think a no-wake zone as proposed enhances use of the lake. Most everyone cruises around the island at
no-wake speed already. The only impact the no-wake zone has is on the slalom water-ski course which
shouldn't be there anyway. High speed boating in that shallow silty area kicks up phosphorus in the
sediments that is not good for the lake. It spreads across the whole lake because the flow is north to south.
Clearing out that area as was done is like tilling the lake with carp that stir up the bottom. Ask any water
quality expert about this. An expert told me the water quality in Rice Creek lakes up the chain is great at
Clear Lake, great at Mud Lake (which is tb1l of aquatic plants), and at Howard Lake, the water quality
goes right in the dumpster because there are no aquatic plants and the lake is full of carp. You don't want
to be clearing out beneficial aquatic plants. (peltier Lake is downstream of Howard Lake.)
I believe the Heron rookery with all of its natural w!>nders is compatible with normal boating on Peltier
Lake. It can accommodate fishing, jet skies, water ~g, and canoeing. I believe we can have almost all
on Peltier Lake. But 1 also believe that Peltier Lake can't do everything. The one thing it can not do well
is accommodate uncontrolled slalom water-ski course skiing.
The main ''high speed" part of Peltier Lake is about 2,000 feet by 4,000 feet. A slalom water-ski course,
when in use, has the effect of privately reserving 2,300 feet by 400 feet for one boat which dominates the
entire area. Peltier Lake almost always has.fishing boats and other watercraft on the lake and these
activities must go around the slalom water-ski course activity. Why should one person effectively get
exclusive use of nearly one third of the fishing route of the lake? When a slalom water-ski course is not in
use, it still has the effect of cordoning off roughly 800 feet by 80 feet because of the placement of its 22
buoys, lines, floats, and anchors. Because the usable area in Peltier Lake is relatively small, dedication. of
an area that size to one person who isn't even using the lake is not justified in my opinion. What if
everybody did that? I'm not opposed to one-time events, but I believe it should be coordinated with the
community. There is no reason why Peltier Lake should not have regulations similar to White Bear Lake
or Lake Minnetonka who do not allow slalom water-ski courses without special permission from the local
community. In addition, Wh\te Bear Lake and Lake Minnetonka are much bigger and accommodate
slalom water-ski courses much easier than Peltier Lake.
A second question is: do you want some controls put on the slalom water-ski activity? Do you want
anyone from anywhere to be able to setup a slalom water-ski course, use it all day, every day of the year,
and have no say in the matter. That is the current default situation. Anyone can do anything. Is that what
you want? Do you want 2, or 3 or more slalom water-ski courses set up on Peltier Lake?
I'd like to hear VOllI ooinion. Please call 651-407-0155.
Thank you.
Wayne LeBlanc

THE PROBLEM
.
~
Irreversible iJSlmage to a pristine area was forseen in early 1999 when it was
discovered that a party had been issued a permit to establish a slalom water ski
course on the north arm of Peltier Lake,close to the nesting island. Anoka County
Park officials, in conjunction with the Peltier Lake Association called a meeting
held at Centerville City Hall on April 27, 1999 which was widely advertised and
attended by 28 people concerned about the welfare of the lake. After the meeting,
Parks circulated a letter summarizing decisions made at the meeting. These
included: "avoid ~1ding in the area north of the island" and "keep fast-moving boats .
. at least 500 feet from the island". It was also agreed that an effort would be made
"to educate the geneta1 public in regard to the valuable natural resource the
northern third of the lake provides and the importance of limiting any fast-moving
water activity in that area". The DNR agreed at the meeting to conduct a study to
determine the behavior and variety of the nesting birds~ So far as we know,
everyone followed through with this agreement in 1999 but in 2000 and 2001 the
permit holderS defied the agreement and established a permanent submersible
slalom c.ourse, north of the island. The colony in turn abandoned hundreds if not
thousands of eggs and young both years. It became evident that a "gentlemen's
agreement" is' not enough in cases like this, hence the need for an ordinance.
THE SOLUTION
Because of the urgency of this problem., a meeting was held at Wugo Nature
Center on JanuarY 23, 2002 to discuss what action is needed to prevent another
crop failure at the nesting colony. This task force included delegates from Lino
Lakes and Centerville, County Parks, the sheriff's Dept, the DNR, the Rice Creek
wa.tershed District, the Peltier Lake Association and the Bell Museum of Natural
History.
After the mee.tiD.g, on the basis ofhis broad experience with vuious bird issues, Dr.
Scott Lanyon, Director 'oftbe Bell Museum and former Chair oftbe Lino Lakes
Environmental Board, made an analysis of "possible explanation of colony
abandonment" and most likely cause. He assessed 9 hypotheses of what has (in
other areas) or could Cause abandonment Under the category NOISE .
DISTURBANCE- motor boats close to the island, he wrote: "It appears likely that
this could result in sufficient disturbance to cause a mass abandonment of this
colony..." His conclusion: "In my opinion, the most likely explanation is that the
colony (was) abandoned due to direct human influence in the form of human,
disturbance (noise and physical presence) in close proximity to the colony."
The solution is to make such human intrusion and disturbance impossible in the
future through an: ordinance and Joint-Powers agreement between Centerville and
Lino Lakes. Whether the birds return to the heronry this spring is immSlterial.
Other wildlife and plants (including some rare ones) also require protection from .
possible d~ma.ging activities. It is the whole unique ecosystem that needs

Trout Air
(continued)
. Why are herons leaving early in 2000 and 200 1 ?
Trout air ponds are no longer being stocked with
fresh rainbow trout.
. Could it be that when the chicks hatch, that there
is now (assume 1000 herons live on the island)
5000 hungry mouths to feed instead of 1000 and
they can't keep up because of the diminishing
food supply?

Related quote by Allen
. Please note a quote from Hayward Allen,
page 52, The Great Blue Heron, "As many
fishery workers will confirm, they do prove
to be a blight upon the cultivation of game
fish stocks in fisheries and hatcheries, or
ponds where frogs are raised for food. Only
then are the rule that protect the great blue
heron with the Federal Migratory Bird
Treaty negotiated to be waived."

Task Force Study Results
. Why was valuable information with held
from the summary sheets to the city council,
when the expert Scott Lanyon Ph.D,
Hypothesis #7 "It remains possible that the
noise associated with this construction
project was partially or even completely
responsible for the abandonment of the
colony in 2000."
41
Recent Events
· After finding out about the proposed
ordinance in the city ofCenterville the
majority of the Peltier Lake Board met
February 19 and made a motion to draft a
memo to City of Centerville and Lino Lakes
requesting them to delay/cancel the public
hearing until we meet as a lake association.

. Why was the attendan~ sheet for the April 27,
1999 Lakeshore Owners meeting conveniently
placed behind a letter from John VondeLinde to
make it look like everyone signed an agreement,
when it has nothing to do with the letter?
. Note in the April 27, 1999 meeting, no motion
was made, no vote taken. only the opinion of
Wayne leBlanc stated.

12
Summary
· I believe I have been made a victim, and
publicly defamed.
. There are no links between water skiing and
the disappearance of the blue herons.
. The facts about Trout Air closing in
December 1998 and its diminishing food
supply for the herons cannot be ignored.

Dear Mr. Palzer:.
The Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department has reviewed a preliminary plat for "The Shores" In your
city. This development proposal could affect a proposed regional trail that will eventually be constructed
along the west and south side of Main Street near Centervllle Lake. This proposed trail would connect to
another proposed regional trail within the Rice Creek - Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve as shown on
the attached maps.
It Is hoped that Anoka County and the CIty of Centervllle will be able to construct this major Central Anoka
County Regional Trail link through the city In a cooperative effort between our agendes. The trail hopefully
will be 10' wide bituminous with a total corridor width of 30'. It appears that funding for trails within the
regional park reserve will not be available for about three to four years. It may be. possible that some of
these trail funds could be used for segments of this trail that are not Within park -boundaries. The
Metropolitan Coundl would have flnal say In this venture.
Please keep me Informed of the clty's progress In getting the trail easements for this trail corridor. I.
understand that the Anoka County Highway Department may own some of the adjacent land next to their
Right of Way near Centervllle Lake. Hopefully we will be able to coordinate a trail corridor with them.
If you have further questions, please call me at 763-767-2865.
~k you,
