although with the park would come some additional parking spots
for lake access. This would then take the pressure off the lake
communities to find more parking spots. They are currently
looking at 3 parcels of land with approximately 2q2 acres.
Preliminary plans would call for 2 accesses, one on Halsteads
Bay and one on Smithtown Bay. In the Lake Minnetonka Regional
Park budget is also the realignment of County Road 44.
There was discussion on the following:
1. The lack of use that Carver Park receives and the need
for another Regional Park so close to Carver Park.
2. The tax base that would be lost if a park were put in.
