MINUTES OF THE REGULAR 4RON0 PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 5, 1996 <br /> (#8 - Parks and Open Space Plan - Continued) <br /> It was noted that the canoe racks are available to Orono residents first before opening to <br /> people residing in other areas under the Lake Access category. <br /> Under Beaches, "unsupervised swimming - swim at your own risk", will be added. , <br /> Stubbs Bay and Smiths Bay will note availability for snowmobile access. Gerhardson <br /> suggested it say, "winter use for motorized access," instead of snowmobile. White also <br /> suggested the last sentence read, "�ublic and private lake access." <br /> Under Linear Parks, "no horseback riding" would be added, and "no motorized vehicles" <br /> would be eliminated as it is redundant. <br /> White suggested including the rules of use section in the ordinance in the plan packet. He <br /> also suggested including, "no motorized madel planes". It was discussed that mountain <br /> bikes create problems with property and need to stay on trails only. The Commission will <br /> add under the parks rules and ordinance section that mountains bikes are to be used on <br /> designated trails only. Gerhardson said the ordinance would need to be amended. <br /> McDermott said the Special Use section is a catch-a11 area. Ilse noted that each park will <br /> have a descriptive page which will spell out its use, information an the site itself, such as <br /> topography, size, physical and vegetative features, and specific intents. White asked that <br /> the future intended use be stated also. <br /> McDermatt asked that any additional comments be given to Ilse or himself as soon as <br /> possible. The next step will be ta classify the parks under the plan, which will be done for <br /> the work session with the Council. <br /> {#9) OTHER BUSINESS <br /> It was noted that McMillan will attend the ne�t Council meeting on February 12, 1496. <br /> Wilson, Flint, and Howells will all be absent from the Park Commission meeting scheduled <br /> for March 4, McMillan will act as chair at that meeting.
