Also, as to <br />public property available. Bracket Avenue <br />originally did abut the shoreline, and most of <br />the existing shoreline was created when the <br />County Road was rebuilt in the 1920*s, and has <br />been publicly used for fishing and support of the <br />road since then. <br />The feelings of most of the public present <br />included the dangerous curve that the parking lot <br />is situated at plus the unkept area and the <br />nusiance from persons using the area late at <br />night for parties, etc. <br />Planning Commission Member Callahan informed <br />Nr. Berg that the public fishes there whether it <br />is public or not, and will continue to park and <br />fish there authorized or not. If we vacate the <br />area, how will it help the neighbors? <br />Mr. Borg stated that neighbors in the area are <br />willing to pay for the upkeep of the area and that <br />they will give the Police Department direction <br />for policing the area. <br />* '. <br />Mr. Schmitt stated that his taxes have gone up <br />enough and he did not intend to pay for these <br />services, especially if closing the area would <br />impact his property more. <br />Mr. Weed said use of the area has increased over <br />the years and people have spilled over onto his <br />and other nearby properties. No one is here <br />tonight asking to use the area for parking or <br />fishing. I do not oppose public access but <br />believe it is wrong for non-residents to use this <br />unplanned area. I am aware of the legislative <br />pressures. If this area stays open at all, it <br />should be on a very limited basis. Why can*t a <br />permit system be used to favor Orono residents? <br />Mr. Thomas Rudd,1325 Shoreline Drive, stated <br />that cars now spread one-half mile each way and <br />use private property and driveways. 200 people <br />try to use the two satellites. Increasing use <br />without control is bad. <br />S' <br />3^ <br />.'"J <br />' *■ £ £ X'lj <br />.. : - ‘ >■ r- <br />Stanley Gregory stated concerns about the tre _ <br />next to the parking area saying the City wanted to <br />take them over. <br />*%/:j < • <br />^ . ;
