12292.1 / <br />' <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />January 22, 1992 <br />SUBJECT: DNR Proposal #? For A Public Access on Maxwell Bay <br />In response to the concerns raised and suggestions made regardinq <br />their initial public access proposal, the DNR has developed an <br />alternative proposal. The new proposal has many advantages over <br />the initial proposal, however there are significant concerns <br />remaining regarding this proposal. <br />The proposal includes three points: <br />1. Move ahead with the purchase of the Straley <br />property. <br />2. Study the feasibility of purchasing and developing <br />the Gayle's Marina site, the Lakeside Marina site <br />and residential properties located between the two <br />marinas in addition to the Straley property. <br />3. Establish a Task Force to develop a comprehensive <br />plan for meeting the 700 parking space goal for the <br />lake. <br />The benefits of the new proposal are as follows: <br />1. Provides for a more comprehensive approach to <br />providing additional parking spaces in both Zone il <br />and around the lake. <br />2. Potentially provides a total solution to the parking <br />space issue in Zone #1. <br />3. The increase in public access is balanced by a <br />reduction in private access. <br />4. Locates an access use on a site ‘■hat currently is <br />used for a very similar activity. <br />5. Would provide an opportunity to develop the area <br />within the city's standards. If a private party <br />purchased the property, the current use could <br />continue as is. If the DNR purchases the property, <br />we have an opportunity to bring the site into <br />conformance with city codes. <br />6. Would provide an opportunity to clean up parking <br />problems on County Road 51.
