8. PETITIONS, REQUESTS, &APPLICATIONS
a. Lord Fletcher's Summer Concerts Special Event Application — City Administrator Tolsma
presented a brief summary of the application and reviewed the list of recommended conditions for
the Council to consider. He noted that there was a change in one of the conditions from previous
years, an increase in the escrow amount due to the increased price of sound testing.
Mayor Rockvam questioned how often the City performs sound testing for Lord Fletcher's.
City Administrator Tolsma responded that current practice is to have the City conduct noise testing
on a random and unannounced date every year. It is good to have documentation that the noise
generated from concerts at Lord Fletcher's is within the State standards.
Mayor Rockvam reminded residents about the Cardigan Club at Lord Fletcher's to voice any noise
issues or concerns they may have. He further added that it seems that a lot of noise, including
music, is coming from boats on Lake Minnetonka with loud stereo systems.
City Administrator Tolsma added that previous noise testing has shown that the loudest spikes in
sound are when a loud boat with music goes through the channel or when a motorcycle drives by
on the county road.
M/Horton, S/Pavot to approve Music Concert Series Permit No. 18-01MC for the Summer
Concerts at Lord Fletcher's Old Lake Lodge, 3746 Sunset Drive, pursuant to the final conditions

removing snow, including having it trucked out to a City parking lot to help ease the burden on the
City's narrow streets.
