1968-08-20MINUTES OF ADJOURNED MEETING OF AUGUST 20, 1968 at 7:30 P.M. at the Island Park
Halt, Mound, Minnesota
Present: ~4ayor Fenstad, Councilmen Andreasen, Regan, Schmidt, Swen~on,
Attorney Pearson and Village Manager Kopp
HEARINGS:
1. Snowmobile Ordinance
The question was mainly on setting the hours of operation and the age of
the operator. There have been a number of complaints on noise from resi-
dents on Cook's Bay where a number of snowmobiles congregate. The
following spoke: Mr. MacCharles, Ski-Doc Dealer in Spring Park, Rick
Little, President of the Lake Minnetonka Snowmobile Association, Nary
Sinner, owner of Del-Mar Surfside, Marv Meridith of Wayzata, Gary
Thomton and Dr. R. J. Segner of Mound, Dick Huff of Minnetrista and Mr.
Edwin W. Elmer, attorney for North Central Marine Association who helped
draw the State regulations for snowmobiles. Mr. Elmer said the State
Laws were passed with the hope of a minimum of municipal laws for sake
of uniformity and urged the Council to wait until the State Laws could
have a chance to operate. He recommended the ordinance passed by Minne-
tonka Village.
Regan moved and Andreasen seconded to have our attorney draw up an
ordinance with provisions as talked about tonight that could be submitted
to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District for their comments and sug-
gestions and reque~t that they consider making an ordinance that would
be uniform around the lake. Unanimously carried.
2. Spo~sCar Racing on Ice
Again the problem was noise on Cook's Bay. The officers of the Metropoli-
tan Sports Car Council were present. They said they had chosen Cook's
Bay because of the favorable facilities of Del-Nar Surfside. Mr. Allan
Moran of the Hennepin County Water Patrol was also present and explained
how permits are issued to the Sports Car Council. 'Some thought was given
to restricting the number of weekends races could be held, and Mr. ~llin
agreed. It was later believed that the license fee would take care of
this.
Swenson moved and Schmidt seconded the motion:
