�r'e��rnm nd that money be used to obtain the 700 slots around the <br />existing public access sites and that no additional public access <br />sites on the lake be made. One of the questions however, is the <br />ability or control that Metro Council's recommendations are going <br />to have on DNR's ability to develop either the si,e they have <br />currently purchased or other sites around the lake in which they <br />r7an obtain a willing huy,�r. <br />ISSUES <br />The principle issues as they relate generally are as follows: <br />1. Numbers on the lake during peak periods generally <br />2. Numbers on the lake in specific areas <br />3. Unsafe boating practices <br />4. Burden of costs related to use <br />5. Ingress and egress to and from the lake pa ticularly <br />for free access users <br />At the time of the 183 Task Force the Orono Council was desirous <br />to commit these slots. Because of related problems and the fact <br />that commitment of these slots may not guarantee that there will <br />not be additional usage on the lake, the Council to this point <br />has been reluctant to commit the slots. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The following represent the major alternatives that the Council <br />could take. While these are discrete alt=rnatives there may be <br />s,)me combination possible. <br />1. No Commitment - This is the status quo alternative <br />and runs the risk of Orono appearing uncooperative as it <br />relates to pressure for additional public access on the <br />:ake. However, the potential for public safety problems <br />associated with on street parking together with the fact <br />that there has not been a great demonstrated need, apart <br />from 6 or 8 time during the year, for parking outside of. the <br />Hendrickson bridge site together would be appropriate <br />rationale for no commitment. <br />2. Promote Moderate Expansion <br />On -Site - <br />As you <br />may be aware <br />the ilenTlriTson access site has approximately 61 spots on it <br />an,l there is the possibility <br />that they <br />could <br />make a small <br />expans i%)n to the west to add <br />a few more <br />spot:, <br />although we <br />do not have a definite number <br />this would <br />yield. <br />3. Commitment of_U to 79 On -:street Parkin Slots in <br />Zone�1 �- Within 1500 feet there are approximatey'75 to 85 <br />parking slats available that meet the 10X50 standard. As <br />you will note by the streets on the diagram, this on - <br />street parking can cause pedestrian/bicycle,'vehicular <br />conflict; results in poor turn -around to get back to the <br />site and has s,_.ie 1of the boat traffic going onto residential <br />streets in the. c,)mmunity. Additionally it results in <br />2 <br />
