MINUTES OF THE CITY OF ORONO <br /> PARKS, OPEN SPACES AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY,AUGUST 7,2000 <br /> Flint suggested a meeting be held with the Mayor to discuss these issues. Flint stated the Mayor <br /> has indicated he�vould like these lake accesses preserved. <br /> Gappa stated City Crew is basically erecting signs at the access points that are more heavily used <br /> at this point. <br /> Meyers commented the City may wish to discuss this issue further to decide which lake access <br /> points should have signs erected,noting there may become issues involving pazking and <br /> ownership at some of the lesser frequented access points. Meyers stated the slide presentation <br /> will be ready by October or November. <br /> McDermott indicated he has met with the neighbors near the Rest Point Lane lake access who had <br /> requested some maintenance and improvements to this area. McDermott noted the property <br /> corner is hard to identify on this access point. McDermott stated in his view it is important to <br /> identify the property lines to prevent the adjoining landowners from encroaching onto City <br /> property. McDermott sta#ed the residents would like to see the brush and dead branches removed <br /> in this area. <br /> (#13) SUMMIT BEACH <br /> Meyers stated they have taken pictures of this area and have spoken with Maury Taylor who <br /> has indicated he is opposed to a fishing pier at this location. Meyers stated Taylor has concerns <br /> relating to increased parking and garbage if a fishing pier is put in. <br /> White commented that people tend to use the swimming dock to fish from, which can be <br /> dangerous if there are swimmers nearby. White stated a fishing dock would solve that problem. <br /> Silber moved to bring this matter before the City Council for their review to determine <br /> whether a fishing pier should be located at Summit Beach. <br /> Flint commented in his view the present situation is fine, noting that the fishermen tend to fish <br /> at times when swimmers are typically not there. <br /> Halvorson indicated she would be opposed to putting a fishing pier in at this location. <br /> Silber stated she still feels this item should be brought before the City Council. <br /> McDermott stated in order for the DNR to install a fishing pier at this location,they first would <br /> need to identify this area as a fishery, and if they do not feel there is adequate fish in the area to <br /> support a fishing pier, they would not put one in. McDermott stated he is unsure what type of <br /> waiting period there is for the DNR to install a pier, but in his view the situation should be looked <br /> into to determine�vhether there is a problem with fishermen fishing offthe swimming dock. <br /> Halvorson inquired how much land the City owns in this area. <br /> McDermott stated it�vas his understanding the City owns approximately 4.4 acres. <br /> PAGE6 <br />
