PARKS JUNE, 1980 <br />5. THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE PARK RESERVE TO COMPLETE ACQUISITION AND <br />CONTROL OF THE LAKE MINNETONKA ISL/^DS. As <br />discussed at length in the Land Use Plan, <br />Chapter 4, Orono does not have the capability <br />of providing public services and facilities <br />to residents on the islands. The City <br />encourages eventual public ownership of the <br />islands as recreational resources for general <br />lake users. Orono encourages the Park Reserve <br />to continue an active program of land acquisition <br />as it becomes available, but not to encourage <br />condemnation or forced conversion. Orono will <br />work with the Park Reserve in preparing a long <br />range plan for use and management of the islands. <br />6. THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE STATE DNR TO RESTRICT USE OR ALTERATION <br />OF WOLSFELD WOODS. This is a unique nature area <br />that should not be developed for active use, but <br />should remain in its natural state. In addition, <br />access and traffic control is extremely limited <br />from County Road 6. <br />7. THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE THE STATE DNR TO MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THE <br />LUCE LINE TRAIL, AND TO MANAGE ITS USE CONSISTENT WITH THE RURAL <br />RESIDENTIAL AREA IT TRAVERSES. The City will encourage <br />extension of the trail, especially on the eastern end, <br />and interconnection with other city or regional trails <br />to provide a coordinated linkage between a wide variety <br />of recreational facilities. The City will encourage <br />the DNR to limit motorized trail usage to west of <br />McCulley Road and the new trail access area. <br />8. THE CITY WILL ENCOURAGE RETENTION ANP CONTINUED OPERATION OP THE <br />PRIVATE GOLF COURSES. These private facilities provide <br />major active recreation in the City and in addition <br />provide aesthetic open space and open vistas to the <br />benefit of all adjacent property owners and the public <br />alike. The City will discourage conversion of these <br />facilities into non-recreational land use because of <br />the benefit of this recreational opportunity and <br />because the City has limited public services necessary <br />for accommodating any other use. <br />CMP 8-12
