Application <br /> Exhibit 8. Proposed Plan <br /> Exhibit C. Fence example <br /> Background <br /> The Orono Parks Commission proposes removal of 10 deteriorating wooden bollards that <br /> currently mark the boundary between the parking and beach areas with a more visually <br /> appealing split rail wooden fence. The fence will not be more than 42 inches tall, and will <br /> include two horizontal rails. The Parks Commission seeks to replicate this type of fence style as <br /> a parking boundary throughout the park system; recently fence sections were added to the park <br /> at Summit Beach. <br />
