MINUTES OF THE CITY OF ORONO <br /> PARKS, OPEN SPACES AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY,MAY 7,2001 <br /> (#7) SAGA HILL <br /> McDermott stated that Former Park Commissioner White had arranged for a naturalist to view <br /> Saga Hill, which has not yet been completed. McDermott inquired whether Mayor Peterson <br /> could check on the status of that project with Council Member White. McDermott indicated he <br /> will also contact White. <br /> McDermott inquired how the identification of the property lines was proceeding. <br /> Gappa stated once the subdivision corners are laid out, they could work off of those. <br /> (#8) DAKOTA RAIL/TRAIL <br /> Meyers stated it is his understanding the project is still proceeding forward. Meyers noted that <br /> Minnetonka Beach has hired an attorney to deal with the issues relating to the Dakota Rail to trail <br /> proj ect. <br /> (#9) 39 LAKE ACCESS POINTS <br /> McDermott commented lake access point No. 18, Oak Place, should also be classified as a Class I <br /> and a Class V. McDermott stated he would like to revisit lake access No. 1, Orono Lane, and <br /> make that a Class I as well. McDermott commented this area really does not have access to the <br /> lake. <br /> Gappa stated that area is questionable because City records indicate it is not open for public use, <br /> with the plat map indicating questionable abutment of shoreline. <br /> Halvorson stated it was her understanding from the last meeting that Gaffron had indicated the <br /> shareline had changed. <br /> McDermott stated the shoreline has eroded further. <br /> Meyers noted these are just recommendations to the Council. <br /> Bouchard stated these are just recommendations on how the land should be classified and that the <br /> legal aspects may change the classifications. Bouchard indicated once the surveys are completed <br /> on some of the questionable ones that the classification may need to be changed. <br /> McDermott noted that the Park Commission has really only changed the classification on one or <br /> two lake access points where they went into a new category. <br /> Gappa suggested perhaps at the July meeting the Park Commission could look at a couple of the <br /> questionable lake access points at their July meeting. <br /> Mayor Peterson noted a wark session with the Council has been scheduled for May 24°i at 5:00 <br /> p.m. <br /> PAGE 7 <br />
