Zoning File #2085 <br />November 17, 1995 <br />Page 5 <br />discussion during the rexiew process. The City has discussed the appropriateness <br />of setting official "closed" hours for the access site, but has reached no specific <br />conclusion. Also discussed has been the vvinter use of this access, with the City <br />preferring it be closed. <br />Trash and gn^h.^ge control. The B-2 standards require the provision of garbage <br />cans or dumpsters on the site. DNR is proposing to not provide such containers, <br />since their experience has been that if no trash containers are provided, users <br />will cany out their trash; but when cans are provided, they attract nuisance <br />garbage as well as that from users of the access. <br />nrainage. The B-2 standards require that drainage plans be developed and <br />implemented to manage the expected quantity of runoff and enhance its quality <br />prior to discharge to the lake. The DNR is proposing natural grass sheet flow <br />areas. All site drainage must flow prior to discharge to the lake. Additionally, <br />each sheet flow absorption/filtration area will be provided with a skimmer to <br />collect floating debris from the runoff. <br />Additional Issues (Addressed or to be Addressed) <br />In addition to the items noted above, in March, 1993 the City noted these additional concerns: <br />• Traffic flow on the site should be designated as one-way. The proposal is for <br />a one-way counterclockwise flow pattern, with the southerly Tonkawa Road curb <br />cut being the entrance and the northerly curb cut being the exit. This maximizes <br />the sight distance for car-trailers leaving the site. <br />. The mouth of the ramp backup apron will be striped to discourage "short- <br />circuiting". <br />. The three ramp lanes are proposed to be striped, although the Orono Police <br />have suggested that while striping provides drivers with a guide for backing, it <br />also can result in potential user conflicts. <br />. The City proposed that the southerly row of parking spaces be back-in car- <br />trailer parking only, similar to what is used at the North Arm Landing. The <br />DNR has not implemented this suggestion for a number of reasons including: <br />traffic flow, user backing capabilities, etc. The DNR has widened the lane <br />between the parking blocks to 30' from its original 25’ proposal.
