<br />10/2/96 mirn~tes
<br />atter~dine: Anklan, Rgli, Grarner, i,inder, Prok, Stark, Vanous, Wolfangle, Wood, North
<br />chair: Gary- Wood
<br />1 Minutes from 9/16/96 were approved unanimously
<br />Note that Mandy Ulesen (4y0-2206) is the secretary for Steve North (4yU-2202; fax: 490-2275.
<br />? Issues to be considered by LOTF (I ake Owasso Task Forcel were reviewed.
<br />Initially the list of issues read: 1. Environmental, 2. Regulatory enforcement, 3. Safety,
<br />4. Individual interest, 5. Group interest, 6. Public interest, 7. Property rights,
<br />8. T,egal/jurisdictional, 9.1,one term impacts, history, metro lake use. In addition, the goose
<br />pregram, lake pumpng, and purple ?oosestrife were listed.
<br />Comments included: This list will provide LOTF with a road map. Is the buf~cr the primary
<br />issue'? Will the city incur any liability in setting the law`? From what is the buffer zone measured
<br />(dam level; average high water)? If no one understands or enforces the current buffer zone, what
<br />effect will a change in law have?
<br />General consensus was: Issues 8 and 9 can provide supporting data for the preceding issues and
<br />were called "considerations". Tl~e group agreed $iatthe goose program, lake level/pumping, and
<br />loosestrife, and in addition, wend control, unsafe water advisories, and shoreluie changes, were
<br />real issues but that these were not central to a surface use regulation ordinance and were instead
<br />additional matters we could consider or make a recommendation on to the city council..
<br />To prioritize issues 1-7, LOTF members each voted twice to indicate which two issues were
<br />most important to them. lii order of importance, they were:. Environment, Regulatory
<br />enforcement /Safety (tie), Public interest, Property rights. There were no votes for Individual
<br />inl.eresl or Group interest. There was some uncertainty over huw interests of individuals,
<br />groups, tl~e public, and riparians could be separately examined, though the public was identified
<br />as users of the Ramsey county park and boat launch. A public mee#ing for Roseville residents is
<br />clearly needed and would be most appropriate after 1/1/97.
