MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Tuesday,September 4,2001 <br /> Rest Point Road <br /> McDermott stated this is an eight foot wide grassy strip to the lakeshore located on a cul-de-sac on <br /> Rest Point Road. This site has historically been used for snowmobile access and fishing during the <br /> summer. <br /> The Park Commission classified this as a Class I and a Class II. <br /> Rest Point Lane <br /> McDermott stated Rest Point Lane is a 33 foot platted corridor, with the road being located <br /> approximately 30 feet fram the shoreline. This access point does contain a sandy lakeshore and has <br /> easy access from the road.. One of the neighbors in this area has requested that the area be opened <br /> as a swimming beach. McDermott stated there is not a swimming beach presently in this area <br /> Bouchard indicated she is not willing to change the classification based on one neighbor's request. <br /> Gail Blackstone, 4465 Forest Lake, indicated her mother and sister live on Rest Point Road, and to <br /> her knowledge they are not aware of the proposal to change this to a swimming beach. <br /> McDermott stated this site could be one where the use is changing, which would necessitate the <br /> need for a public hearing. McDermott indicated public hearings would not be held on the other <br /> access points discussed tonight since the use has not changed. McDermott noted the City has not <br /> maintained this as a swimming beach in the past. <br /> Casco Circle <br /> McDermott noted this access point has historically been used for fishing, launching canoes, and <br /> pedestrian access to the lake. McDermott indicated it is not the intention of the Park Commission <br /> to change the use of this access point. <br /> The Park Commission classified this as a Class I. <br /> Ivy Lane <br /> McDermott stated the historical use of Ivy Lane has been for snowmobile access. This is a <br /> 60 foot wide platted road to the shoreline. McDermott noted this has been classified as a <br /> Class II and a Class V, which appears to be incorrect. <br /> The Park Commission classified Ivy Lane as a Class II. <br /> Forest Lake Landing <br /> McDermott stated Forest Lake Landing has been classified as a Class I. At a previous meeting the <br /> Park Cornmission had classified this site as a Class I, which is pedestrian access, fishing from the <br /> shore, launching of canoes and other small boats not requiring trailers. Since that time the <br /> neighbors have met with the Council and they are proposing a natural area designation for this <br /> access point. <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
