PROCEEDINGS SUMMARY, 1992 LAKE ACCESS TASK FORCE STUDY DNR ANALYSIS OF C/T PARKING SPACES AT ACCESS LOTS: The c/t parking space count at access on -site lots differ only slightly from 1983 and 1986 counts. Some car -only parking spaces could be converted to c/t parking spaces. AERIAL SURVEY OF PUBLIC ACCESS SITES Aerial photos of c/t parking conditions at public access sites on a high -use day illustrated crowded conditions. Opportunities for improvements or expansion of parking capacity either on or off -site were noted. RELIABLE C/T PARKING SPACE STANDARDS Seven criteria and three supplemental recommendations applying to Parking Standards were prepared 7/15/92 for Task Force approval. GRANT RECOMMENDATION FOR MAXWELL BAY LAND ACQUISITION A Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) grant recommendation for $944,000 for land acquisition to develop a public access site on Maxwell bay, subject to Legislative approval, was announced. JOINT DATA GATHERING/STANDARDS SUBCONMTTEE ACTIONS C/T PARKING INVENTORY REVIEW Subcommittee action of 8/12/92 amended the 7/15/92 c/t Parking Inventory from 845 to 755 c/t parking spaces. A reduction of 59 spaces from 99 to a net of 40 spaces at the Williams St. Halsted Bay access, and a reduction of 32 spaces from 100 to 68 spaces at the Hennepin Regional Park resulted in a 755 adjusted count. PARKING STANDARDS RECOMMENDATION: Starting with the seven criteria and three supplemental recommendations of 7/15/92, the joint subcommittee review recommended Parking Standards for Task Force consideration and adoption. EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF ACCESS SITES: Equitable distribution of parking sites throughout the five lake zones was identified as a priority. PARKING INVENTORY: With minor footnote adjustments, the Parking Inventory of 755 current and potential c/t parking spaces was finalized and recommended for presentation to the Task Force. Page 30 282
