Bayside Road and Stubbs Bay Road was added as <br /> snowmobile access, and Grant Street is informally being used as a snowmobile access at the <br /> present time. McDermott stated Ivy Lane is already being used as a boat access as well as a <br /> snowmobile access. <br /> McDermott noted snowmobiles are not allowed on City beaches. McDermott stated the Class V <br /> should be called a drainage area, which is an area where the water flows naturally to the lake or <br /> a stormwater system has been installed to drain the area. <br /> Meyers inquired what the no boat launching classification means. <br /> McDermott stated the definition for Class III should read fishing, boat launching, and winter <br /> vehicular access to the lake. Class IIIA reads no boat launching. McDermott stated Class IIIA <br /> should also include fishing and winter vehicular access to the lake. <br /> Gappa stated those access points are closed in the summer. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission to only list those items that are allowed at each of <br /> the lake access points under the classifications. <br /> Ilse questioned why Nos. 12 and 13 were listed as a Class I when they are not open for public use. <br /> McDermott stated the statement that says not open for public use should be removed from those <br /> two lake access points. McDermott stated they were not open for public use in the past. <br /> McDermott stated the Park Commission used the same classifications as Tonka Beach in <br /> classifying Orono's lake access points. <br /> (#10) PARK COMMISSIONER ASSIGNMENTS 2001-2002 <br /> Lee Carlson Field <br /> McDermott inquired on the progress being made on the Carlson Field improvements. <br /> Gappa stated he has not seen any plans for the improvements and is not aware of what the status <br /> of that project is. <br /> Meyers commented it was his understanding they wanted to start the project this spring. <br /> French Creek <br /> McDermott inquired whether French Creek has been burned yet to rid the area of buckthorn <br /> Gappa stated it was his understanding it has already been completed. <br /> McDermott requested Halvorson check to see whether the area has been burned and to notify <br /> Gappa if it has not been completed. <br /> PAGE 8 <br />
