MLNUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11,1995 <br />(#12 - #2085 DNR - Continued) <br />The site plan calls for 80 car-trailer parking spaces, 15 car-only parking spaces, and 3 <br />ramps located 200 ’ west of Lakeside Marina. The DNR has provided stormwater plans <br />and green buffer areas. A fishing pier with access will also be provided along with two- <br />way exit and entrance to Tonkawa (none to CoRd 51). The road has been upgraded to <br />include turn lanes. <br />Gaf&on reported that residents expressed their concerns at the Planning Commission <br />meeting in regards to a stop sign e.xit on Tonkawa, which will be done. They were <br />concerned with being notified of additional fuel contamination from the previous owner. <br />The City informed the residents tha* they would be informed if any off-site contamination <br />occurred. There are no plans to improve the "Boy Scout" bridge. As to the function of <br />the turn lane and traffic awaiting to enter the access, cars will be able to bypass those <br />vehicles. Another concern was over the amount of flow during peak rush hour traffic and <br />speed of vehicles. The residents also were concerned with cross over traffic from Crystal <br />Bay to Maxwell Bay by snowmobilers. This area might need posting if this becomes a <br />problem. Residents also were concerned with fishing overflow being carried o\ er to <br />private docks. They were informed that this was out of the DNR's control but <br />educational signage could aid this problem. <br />Jabbour and Gaffron discussed a problem for a property owner to the west with people <br />from North Arm using their dock at this time. A need was expressed to post the property <br />as private. Another concern was over the winter time use as ice fishermen use the access <br />to the lake. The City is concerned with bubbling in the lake and traffic on the ice near <br />this bubbling. Gaffron said the City ’s intent is to have the access closed in the winter <br />months He noted that no overnight parking is posted at North Arm access The police <br />now use the code relating to the no parking when problems arise. There are no gates. <br />Jabbour asked how the access would be closed in winter. Gaffron said this would occur <br />by not maintaining the access area. <br />Hurr noted that there is a fishing village on the ice now, and the property is being used at <br />this time by trucks. It was further noted that the trucks will plow the access themselves if <br />they wished to use the access. <br />Jabbour said he saw no problem with the parking but a plan should be made to ensure no <br />winter access onto Ma.\well Bay. Jabbour felt there is a need to find permanent barriers. <br />Hurr simgested snow fencing. Jabbour suggested the City's use of driving two horseshoe <br />posts. <br />Stan Linncll of the DNR commented that there are gates on two other DNR sites where <br />different concerns are being faced A suggestion was possibly to place a roll-in dock <br />across the ramp. Linnell said the DNR has not yet decided on the type of dock as they <br />are considering floaters, but a solution for the problem could be determined. <br />I <br />12
