Mr. Williamson agreed that controls are necessary but wished to be able to pick up
and leave off a skiier from his shoreline and was worried about counterclockwise
proposal allowing this. He was reassured. Mr. Lane wondered about an angle approach.
Mr. J. Doerfler, whose brother is a water safety warden, said that visits to areas
lakes are all logged ahead of time for his brother -in response to voiced complaints
about when and how long these lake visits were.
Large portion of audience, representing four snowmobile clubs in Lakeville area,
who had prepared a map, (as asked of Mr. J. Doerfler at an earlier meeting), presented
and explained their map at this time. (The map is now filed in P R drawer file
Municipal Hall.) This map pretty well criscrosses this area running north and south
from Apple Valley to Elko, and east and west from Orchard Lake to Castle Rock and
Empire.
Mr. Doerfler expressed the concern that if action was not taken to substantiate these
trails soon, that Lakeville might well be without any marked, sanctioned snowmobile
trails. He further explained that the trails they use are granted each year by the
property owners; that all these snowmobile clubs are working together to get an
established system of trails and these trails will be well- marked and adhered to.
#88 Trued made motion to endorse preliminary -state snowmobile trails plan made
by the four snowmobile groups and that we encourage these groups to continue
spade -work preparatory to applying for State funds and that we be acquainted
with the procedures for such application of funds. Also, that we be apprised
of trails where bicycle trails could overlap. Christoffers seconded. Motion
carried.
The snowmobile groups were thanked for their work in preparing the :map and coming
to the meeting.

an unnecessary restriction, i.e. the "pattern at least for the northern portion
of the lake, which is smaller.

be eliminated. Christoffers seconded. Lovelace, Trued, Lange, Christoffers
voted "aye Nelson, "nay because "basically, still in favor of the proposal
as a guideline." Motion carried.

facility to be used for skating, tennis, and other sports and entertainment."
