PARK COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action is to get a Park Commission recommendation on whether the city <br />should partner with the Long Lake Rowing Crew allowing the club to construct and maintain a boat house <br />and docks at Summit Beach Park. <br /> <br />2. Background. Long Lake Rowing Crew (LLRC) was founded in 2014 for the sport of rowing on <br />Long Lake. LLRC has been operating out of the Birches site and the Long Lake Fire Department. <br />However the Birches site is not ideally suited to launching boats and the club is looking for a place to <br />construct a boathouse. The Club approached the City in 2018 about the possibility of partnering with the <br />city for use of the Summit Beach Park location. LLRC is a non-profit, 501C# organization. The mission <br />of Long Lake Rowing Crew is "to provide a safe, inspiring and educational opportunity for people of all <br />ages to learn, enjoy and excel in the sport of rowing. LLRC is a volunteer-driven, non-profit club <br />committed to knowledgeable instruction, personal and competitive achievement, and the well-being of its <br />members and the greater Long Lake community." The Parks commission considered this proposal at the <br />November 4th, 2019 Park Commission meeting at which time the Commission tabled the action (Minutes <br />at Exhibit B). <br /> <br />3. Proposal. The LLRC will provide a presentation to the Commission on their proposal. In general <br />improvements at the park would include a boathouse, public restrooms and a dock system. <br /> <br />4. Considerations. The Commission should consider the following. <br />a. Does the proposal enhance or detract from the use of the park? <br />b. What benefits would the proposal provide to the park; to the community? <br />c. What costs if any would be incurred by the city? <br />d. What requirements (accessibility to public, park improvements, public programs) does the <br />commission recommend the City council consider imposing on the applicants plan? <br />e. What restrictions (size of structures, location of structures, hours of use, parking) does the <br />commission recommend the City council consider imposing on the applicants plan? <br /> <br />5.
