But restricting her to 10 months of business out of the year is quite harsh. Why shouldn't she be able to accommodate those who wish to cold weather camp. A solution would be for the City of Elk River to require Wapiti Park to have guide lines or policy in place that would limit any one "recreational camper unit" to a pre determined time period on any one Wapiti Park camp site. For instance, .Say it was determined that 8 months was the length of time determined by all to be the mos# months allowable to stay on any one campsite within Wapiti Park. Then, a trailer parked on campsite #1 on January 1st must be moved off of campsite #1 by September 1st. No one would put down roots because of the inconvenience it would be to move a deck, addition or what have you. I wouldn't stay anywhere where I would have to move ever 8 months 1 can tell you that much. There are other solutions to closing her down for two months. I myself think that the previous is one of the best. On another note: I think my road maintenance would suffer due to Wapiti cutting back because the city has closed her down two out of the twelve months. She keeps up the road very nicely right now but should you close her down my road will need to be plowed and I know I have taxes I pay of which are quite high for having no city truck plowing the road the city has named Troy St.....but Wapiti is.......But you could care less about anything I've said because you are going to tighten the noose around Wapiti until it can't breath anymore and bring in the developers you have in your pockets to increase the cities tax revenue. See you at the City Council meeting. Mike and Linda Klopping 18540 T t. N.W.
