Most <br />participants had already attended one or both previous open houses at Summit Beach Park. <br />2.The event was staffed by Brian Roath (Park Commission Chair), Adam Edwards (City Administrator), and <br />Katherine Gould (Bolton & Menk). <br />3.At the open house, the following information was displayed on boards: existing site conditions, results <br />from surveys 1 and 2, and the draft master plan graphic. Attendees then had the opportunity to <br />provide comments on the draft master plan and its process. <br />4. Three attendees provided written comments at the Open House. These are summarized on the next <br />page. Many others preferred to speak directly with those staffing the event to provide comments. <br />5.Overall, the draft master plan was very well received. Most participants were excited by the proposed <br />improvements. Preservation of the existing hill with mature trees was especially appreciated. Most <br />attendees came to the open house with the knowledge that the rowing facility was not part of a <br />proposed design. Those who didn’t know this previously were glad to learn of it. <br />6.Two or three participants requested that bike racks be added to the master plan graphic. <br />7.In some of the amenity categories of Survey 2, a majority of people voted ‘Do Nothing’ rather than ‘Do <br />Something’ or ‘Do More’. Given this, a couple of participants why improvements are proposed within <br />these categories. <br />8.One participant wondered what the plan is for the existing stakes and bench installed by a boy scout <br />troop just north of the beach along the lakeshore. <br />9.One participant was surprised that there were not more answers to the online surveys. <br />10.One participant strongly urged that the City consult the Daytons on their wishes for the park and to <br />collect information for the proposed interpretive panels. <br />Summit Beach Park Master Plan Open <br />House #3 Summary Notes <br />October 13, 2022 5:30 P.M. – 7:30 P.M. <br />In person at Orono City Council Chambers <br />Appendix II: Open House Summaries
