Will the dock(s) be public or only for Long Lake Rowing Club members? <br /> 2. Will the beach, parking, pavilion, and bathrooms will remain public? <br /> 3. What will the boathouse and training facilities look like? Will they blend into the natural <br />surroundings? Architectural renderings of the boathouse and training facilities should be <br />provided, as well as, the specific location and composition of the dock(s). This is information <br />that should be disclosed before any decisions are made. <br /> 4. Who will pay for maintenance of public space? <br /> 5. What will be done to restore natural areas and wildlife habitats that are destroyed by this <br />process?
