They counted: <br />- Car -trailer spaces on publicly owned i ., adjacent to launch ramps. <br />- Spaces on publicly owned land within 1,500 feet of launch ramps that was <br />used for car -trailer Parking. <br />They also estimated available street parking of car -trailer spaces by measuring <br />the length )f streets or county roa, within a 1,500 foot radius of existing <br />public ramps that was available for parking hasea on the absence of posted <br />regulations. The lineal feet measurements for each road/street wa, _ .,ed by <br />50 (the length of one car -trailer parking space) to determine the nurru>er of <br />space it street parking. The calculation for street parking aid not factor <br />out potentially unusable spaces due 'Ln narrow road width, lack goad <br />shoulders, or presence o' driveways and private property that would negate the <br />use of some portions of a streetor road for car -trailer parking. (See * on <br />bottom of Table 2.) <br />.ihe lot parking and street parking calculations were checked oy Frank Mixa <br />(Lake Minnetonka Conservation District) and adJustments were incorporated into <br />the final calculations. <br />Table 1 is the estimate that was developed. I've added "che city location of <br />each access, names of roads/streets that werE measured and the zrne location <br />for each public boat access in the table to wha was originally published on <br />Jan. 6, 1983. <br />.able 2 illustrates the number of spaces counted in lots and the linear mea- <br />surement,L f roads/streets ithin 1.,500 `eet of Existing pubic boat access <br />sites. <br />SA3808-PHOPNI <br />12.13.35 <br />
