Cativerse has dare the initial legal work far Roseville since flee iriceptian of the praposed new ordinance. He answered LOTF questions in the order the}' were written to him. Coimnents are his. unless Hated othenvise. .-1 re surface use rules statutes or D.~'R commissioner's orders? Does the legislature or the D~i%R commissioner set rules? Thev_ are both legislative statutes (86B) and DNR rules (Sect. 6110). II'hat determines the 'grandfather" ruling for tlse currant Roseti~ille ordinance? Is it all aspects of the current ordinance, or aizt• one clu7nga? Can i1•a change only soma parts oftlze curre~Tt Roseville ordif7atzca and keep others, aid still maintain grandfatlsering of the retait7ed elements? Roseyille's ordinance is grandfathered since it was enacted in 193. prior to state rules (1972) and statutes (1973) requiring JPA's for regulation of lakes within t,to municipalities. X11 of Roseville's Chapter 702 is grandfathered. An individual section would lose "grandfather" status if an}~ words in the section were changed, however. other. unchanged sections would probabh• remain grandfathered. Once the 300' buffer zone is changed. it w~auld be impassible to go back,. under current DNR rules. Is Grass La~:a Ii'atar Alanagamant District a Lalta Consan~ation District or is it a management aren? (86B?~S.?C) Neither. Grass Water Management District is a management district:~IC was uncertain of any implications. Water surface use regulation is outside the jurisdiction of the GLWtilD (D~). Does the ~00'rula apph• or not appl}• to sJzoralif7a o1r•ners ("i. e. perpendicular tryout from shoral? It applies to all. I,'nder the currefzt ordif~a~ice, cai7 a boat go ~vithif~ ~ 00' of shorn is no one is on the shore? Motorboats can (702.00, but ski boats. skiers. and surfboard riders cannot (702.06). Shoreline is defined as the ordinar}' high water mark, and cattails and lilies are part of the lake. not the shore. Doas a ne1,~ ordinance Izava to corer tJze entire lade, or can it be "toned'; ~vit17 differe~st rules for different regions. It could be zoned. Bays or channels can be no-wakz zone aiidior marked with buoys. DNR says the zones must be reasonable and not unduly burdensame. i~iC ryas unsure of the D1~TR's standards. ?Minnetonka has many zones, but it is a Conservation District and not subject to DNR rules in this matter. The DNR used to mark off areas for wildlife habitat (e.g. nesting; DA), but no longer does this because it is not cost-effective or enforceable (JG). II'ho enforces Ilse currant ordinances? Ramsey county sheriffs water patrol; Roseville police could alsa enforce. but that is unlikely (passibly in an emergency).
