LRRWMO <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 19, 1989 <br />PAGE 3 <br />Skallman presented information relating to the following <br />DNR permits and corresponding reviews. No action necessary. <br />Informational only. <br />#89 -6266: Permit issued to Craig Willey to excavate a swale <br />for stormwater management into unnamed wetland 2 -116w. <br />#89 -6196: Request by David Groth, Jerry Johnson, and Guy <br />Bartolain, Anoka, to construct a timber retaining wall along <br />the designated shoreline of the Rum River. <br />Schrantz noted Anoka County Commissioner Natalie Haas' <br />proposal for "Adopt A River" in order to help preserve the <br />natural beauty of the Rum River and to help stop erosion. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />3. Rum River Minimum Wake Ordinance - Members reported <br />on the outcome of public hearings held within their <br />municipalities for the proposed Rum River Minimum Wake <br />Ordinance. <br />Weaver stated that the City of Anoka received one <br />concerned response from Don Vry, Champlin, who requested that <br />a specific area on the Rum River above the dam be set aside <br />for water skiing. Others voiced no strong objections to what <br />is being proposed. The City Council of Anoka approved the <br />resolution supporting the proposed ordinance. <br />Schrantz reported that the City of Andover also approved <br />the resolution supporting the proposed ordinance. <br />Raatikka stated that the City of Ramsey tabled consid- <br />eration of the ordinance and directed staff to obtain imput <br />from Anoka County regarding enforceability and to further <br />investigate other relevant information. When discussing the <br />minimum wake issue, Council reportedly felt it would be hard <br />to define. <br />Schrantz felt that the definition of wake used by the <br />Lower St. Croix is applicable: The slowest possible speed <br />necessary to maintain steerage. Andover City Council felt <br />the proposed regulations should at least be tried. <br />Pearson pointed out that when the proposed ordinance <br />reaches Anoka County, they, in all probability, will make <br />changes. They initially merely wanted a response from the <br />LRRWMO communities. Pearson went on to suggest that if the <br />City of Ramsey doesn't feel comfortable, then it would not be <br />necessary for them to designate "Quiet Waters" in their area <br />of the Rum. <br />
