MINUTES OF THE'REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JANUARY 27, 1992 <br />DNR PROPOSED LAKE ACCESS <br />Kimball explained that if it is determined that the property is <br />not needed for a launch, the property would be sold. However, the <br />DNR has determined this property meets the criteria for a public <br />access site. He noted they would be willing to put that in <br />writing. <br />Jabbour asked if the feasibility study for the Maxwell Bay area <br />could be completed within the 45 day extension period. <br />Kimball explained he would have to confer with other parties <br />Involved on that matter. <br />Jack Rhode, 3155 North Shore Drive, agreed with Paurus. He felt <br />that the City should look to the DNR's lack of cooperation in the <br />past regarding this issue, to see how they would proceed in the <br />future. He felt the Straley site is totally inappropriate for a <br />boat launch. <br />Castagna noted there are other avenues to pursue to stop the boat <br />launch. He felt a letter from the DNR would show a spirit of <br />cooperation on their part. <br />Jab'bour explained he is aware of• persons actively seeking other <br />property for the DNR to purchase. ' He noted that the DNR is getting <br />pressure from the Legislature to get something done on the lake. <br />Kimball point out he is not aware of any additional sites the DNR <br />is actively seeking for purchase. <br />Callahan stated that by accepting this proposal, the Council is <br />suggesting that the DNR not only purchase the Straley property, <br />but continue purchasing property to the corner of the County Road <br />51- and'Tonkawa Road. He noted a system has been set up, requiring <br />the input of 14 lakeshore cities and the LMCD to establish access <br />sites on the Lake. <br />Jabbour stated he just does not want the DNR to take residential <br />property for lake access. <br />Callahan stated they already have done just that. He felt they <br />need to get other lakeshore cities to participate in this process. <br />Kimball asked to clarify what the letter from the DNR should <br />Include. <br />8 <br />
