The Zoning <br />Administrator presented the Notice of Public Hearing and the <br />Affadavit of Publication. <br />Bruce Dayton was present. He stated he would like to give <br />this property to Orono. He has lived in Orono for the past <br />25 years and has enjoyed the area. ^Vhen he first purchased <br />this property it was a resort. His main objective was to <br />clean up the area. Now he would like this to be opened up <br />for public use. Mr. Dayton stated that Herbert Peterson, <br />the adjoimng property owner to the west, had future plans <br />for donating some of his land to the City of Long Lake. <br />David Pagel, a nearby property owner, wanted to know to <br />\diat extent this park land would be developed. He was con­ <br />cern^ about the possible increase in traffic at the inter­ <br />section of East Long Lake Road and Old Long Lake Road. <br />Hank Muhich infoimed him that the City had no immediate <br />plans for this area and wanted to keep this as a low profile <br />use. He then introduced Walt Lathrop, Chaiiman of the Park <br />Conmission, and requested his input regarding future plans <br />for this park land. Mr. Lathrop infoimed everyone in <br />attendance that this park land was basically intended for <br />Orono area residents. Some of the things that were <br />being considered were parking by permit only, closing up <br />of area at approximately 9:30 or so by tlie police, and <br />fencing the land to allow more control. <br />Mr. Dayton felt that it would be unfortunate to restrict <br />this area to Orcmo area residents only. Marjorie Boshane <br />expressed her concern for the need of restrooms and lighting <br />in this area. A large number of residents have been using <br />the swimning beach. An increase in this number would <br />require the use of restroom and lifting facilities. Bert <br />Gallistel was also present and expressed his appreciation <br />to Bnice Dayton for thi; generous <;ift. He felt that park <br />property is getting scarce and Orono should take advantage <br />of this offer. After all the public were heard, the Public <br />Hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. <br />Guthrie moved, Hannah seconded, to accept this offer and <br />express appreciation for same.
