MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JANUARY 13, 1992 <br />I (#6C) SANDY BEACH SWIMMING DOCK INSTALLATION <br />Flint noted the Commission requested input from surrounding <br />neighbors on the absence of the dock during the 1991 season. He <br />noted that input indicated that the problems in the area have <br />greatly been curtailed. He stated the Commission is recommending <br />unanimously that the dock not be reinstalled, permanently, but <br />the area be maintained as a park. <br />Butler noted she received a call from Dale Woodbeck who is in <br />favor of reinstallation of the dock. <br />Carol Peterson, 1410 Cherry Place, stated she would like to have <br />the dock back and felt that the problems were caused by the same <br />children in the past. <br />Dale Woodbeck, 1445 Cherry Place, noted he too would like to have <br />the dock reinstalled and noted that usage of the beach is down <br />for the wrong reasons. <br />Bruce Feldman, 3890 Cherry Avenue, stated he is the resident <br />directly next to the beach and noted that by eliminating the dock <br />approximately 95% of the problems were eliminated. He advised <br />that the area is only 40' wide and with the dock and buoys in <br />place, they actually encroach upon his property. <br />Cheryl Granning, 3898 North Shore Drive, stated she wanted to <br />keep the dock and felt with the increased awareness of the <br />situation, perhaps there will not be such a problem in the <br />future. <br />Josh Woodbeck, 1445 Cherry Place, stated that the bad kids have <br />gotten older. and'now have other things to occupy them. He noted <br />that the beach isn't as much fun without the dock. <br />Neil Castagna, 1890 Shadywood Road, asked why the residents <br />should have to worry about patrolling a public beach. He stated <br />that the Council should consider hiring a lifeguard. <br />Mayor Peterson noted that was considered last year but was very <br />costly. <br />�7 <br />
