Also, as part of the public input on the Comprehensive Plan Update last year, the City undertook
a survey of resident priorities. As part of the open- answered questions, several residents
responded that they felt the residents needed greater public access to the lakes and /or more lake -
oriented facilities like kayak storage, a public boat launch, etc.
What are the Fire Lanes?
The fire lanes were land originally dedicated to the public to allow pumper fire trucks to access
lake water to fight fires. The fire lanes are no longer needed for water access for firefighting,
instead for an increasing amount of demand for public lake access. The 10 fire lanes all serve as
public lake access. There are six on Lake Minnetonka and four on Lake William.
Many of the fire lanes are hard to spot and are known mostly to the adjacent property owners.
Two of the more well -known and well -used fire lanes are 3 (extension of Grant Lorenz) and 6
(adjacent to Crescent Beach). Over time, private improvements have begun to creep into the fire
lanes, such as retaining walls and temporary winter storage of docks.
Has the City ever studied them before?
In 1956, the City adopted an ordinance that prohibited parking on or blocking any of the fire
"alleys ". Any vehicle use on the fire lane was considered blocking and any boat tied up to the
fire lane was also considered blocking.
In 1977, the City adopted an ordinance that prohibited driving any vehicle on park land except
designated parking area and trails. These regulations were also applied to the fire lanes.
In 1985, the City adopted most of the current regulations as part of the adoption of a complete
update of the zoning regulations. The fire lane regulations were studied for about two -years with
extensive resident input. The discussion was spurred by complaints that residents were: 1) tying
their boats near the shore, 2) parking trucks and trailers in the fire lanes, 3) constructing docks
and other improvements in or near the fire lanes, 4) engaging in loud, disruptive behavior in and
near the fire lanes, etc. When City staff began notifying users that vehicle access was not
permitted on the fire lanes, requests for expanding /reducing public access to the lake were
subsequently received.
The fire lane regulations were subsequently amended in 1999 and 2011 to add or alter the
general regulations.
What does City Code allow?
The City Code currently does not allow use of the fire lanes by any motorized vehicles, except
for the fire lane directly adjacent to Crescent Beach. The City of Shorewood allows that fire lane
to be used for snowmobile access in the winter and parking of vehicles near the beach. No other
fire lane allows vehicle access to a lake.
All park and recreational areas (including fire lanes) are not allowed to be accessed between
10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. except for organized activities sponsored by the City of Shorewood.
Chapter 611.03 of City Code prohibits snowmobile use anywhere between the hours of 10:00
p.m. and 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and between 11:00 p.m. and 7 a.m. on Friday and
Saturday. Chapter 611.02 limits speeds up to 10 mph on public property.
What do other cities allow?
While there is no pressure to change Shorewood regulations based on what other cities'
ordinances allow or don't allow, they offer insights and ideas. A quick survey of whether other
cities regulations allow motor vehicles is noted below. The cities that allow any motorized
vehicles, even if limited to one fire lane and /or one type of vehicle, are included in the "Allow"
column.
city
Shorewood
Allow Vehicles
Prohibit
Excelsior
Minnetonka Beach
Mound
Tonka Bay
Wayzata
Of those cities that allow vehicles, most restrict vehicles to certain classifications of fire lanes
and limit the access to certain types of vehicles. The Wayzata ordinance (attached) pertains only
to snowmobiles. The City of Mound has no specific code language regulating Fire Lanes, but
most of their fire lanes allow winter snowmobile access.
What are the questions to be answered?
Based on the direction of the discussion, staff would write up draft ordinances to be reviewed by
both commissions at separate meetings. These ordinance may include:
• an allowance for specific motorized vehicles
• reduced hours of operation
• reduced speed limits
other issues as directed
The commissions may also discuss other elements of fire lane management to increase visibility
and use and to allow the type of access recommended (pedestrian, vehicle, etc.)
• surveying the fire lanes and installing markers /informational signs
• install vehicle barriers (where appropriate)
• clear vegetation and any private improvements that have crept onto the public lands

Subject: Comments on Fire Lanes
Thanks for addressing the question of fire lanes!
I use the fire lane at the end of Grant Lorenz Road. It must be Fire Lane 3. Also FL 6 next to Cresant Beach.
I use the fire lane for access to walk, bike, swim, kayak, canoe, ice skate.
I'd like to continue to do this. It is part of what makes Shorewood such a great place to live! I don't
snowmobile but I believe this is a good use of fire lanes.
I was concerned when a new owner took control of the property bordering the firelane. Signs were posted about
limiting access for snowmobiles. I was confused as these didn't appear to be City signs but private. (were they?
Does the city permit snowmobiles? )
This new neighbor also has much vegetation right on the trail .. I worry his arborvitae will block the trail.
It would also help if fire lanes were marked, so we know that it is OK to access the lake at these points. Some
are obvious some are not.
Thanks for the help!

To: City of Shorewood
From: Mark Bongard
26260 Birch Bluff Road
Re: Fire Lane Access — Birch Bluff /Grant Lorenz
To Whom It May Concern:
I am the homeowner directly adjacent to the west of the Birch Bluff and Grant Lorenz Fire Lane.
We are a fairly new resident, building the home and moving into that location in August 1017.
Prior to acquiring the property, we spoke with the previous homeowner, the real estate agent
and the City of Shorewood in person to learn and discuss the Fire Lane. It was expressed to me
that it is a non - motorized access point for the public for members of the community to access
Lake Minnetonka for Canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, shore fishing and the like. It was
said by all the parties we spoke with that it is quite a quiet and low usage location. And if we
experience any abuse by motorized vehicles, we can contact the city or local police and they
would work to eliminate the problems. So, we went forward with the purchase of the property
in 2015.
It took two years to design and build the current residence. During that time, we had seen and
experienced many signs that people were driving motorized vehicles down the fire lane both
winter and summer. We chalked it up to the fact no one was living on the property during the
construction phase and we made no mind of the activity and made no complaints assuming
upon our occupancy, people would take heed and discontinue their inappropriate usage.
After moving into the home, to our dismay, the activity did not stop. Since it was late summer
and the activity really only occurred during the day, we let it go. Once winter began and the ice
was safe, we had a huge increase in usage by motor vehicles: Snowmobiles, ATVs, trucks,
jeeps, trailered fish houses and motor cycles with spiked tires. Here in lies the difficulty for us,
the usage happens all hours of the day and night. Engines revving, lights flashing into our
home. As the winter progressed, the access became rutted and heaved from ice shifts and
users would have to use more power to get over the humps or out of the ruts. Our home
layout is such that our bedrooms are all on the western end of the property nearest the fire
lane. The noise and lights become very loud and bright while you try to sleep. We are
awakened several times a night and several nights a week. It has become very annoying and
difficult to get restful sleep along with the frustration that individuals know they are using the
fire lane inappropriately and without concern as to the impact on our lives.
I realize this is a democratic process and all sides must get their time and chance to express
their wants and wishes for the use of public property, but in consideration, you should be
concerned for those most negatively affected by these types of decisions. For our family,
shifting the use from a pedestrian usage to a limited use motorized access point is and will be a
hardship for us. Not only will it continue to negatively impact our enjoyment of the lake, but
also our health and well- being. Not to mention, it may also have consequence to us on an
economic level, should this lane shift to allowing motorized usage, it will likely have
repercussions to us in the future marketability and de- valuation of the sale of our property.
As for us doing our Due Diligence prior to purchasing, we certainly would not have bought or
built a home on this site, and at the very least, we would not have designed the home with
sleeping quarters nearest the access knowing what we now have experienced.
Thank you for your time and service effort into this matter.
Mark Bongard
