MINU'T'ES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON DECEMBER 11, 1995 ( #12 - #2085 DNR - Continued) • Regarding the problem with people using the docks of the neighboring properties, Linnell said this is an ongoing problem with people parking at North Arm and fishing off of these docks. He informed the neighbor that he is unable to put signs on the neighbor's property but will develop a sign to educate people on where they can fish. It is possible that an additional panel can be added to the kiosk for education, announcements, boat use, etc. Linnell said the neighbor was willing to work with the City and the DNR to rectify this problem. Goetten suggested adding such a sign at North Arm too. Jabbour commented that if there were enough fishing piers, there would not be this problem. Linnell said he hoped that people would discover they can fish at the access. Linnell reported that the access at North Arm is under the jurisdiction of the County. The DNR is working with the County on runoff correction as well as erosion problems. Linnell noted that additional green areas are needed at North Arm as well as a turf island. Linnell said a future possibility would be to remove 4 -6 car /trailer parking spaces to allow for improved shore fishing. Callahan asked if the access would be fenced. Linell said this was not in the plans. There will be curb and gutter on the south side by the highway. The lake side would use traffic control boulders. Callahan asked about the citizen's concern with the intersection of Tonkawa and CoRd • 51 and moving traffic to the right. He asked about the area by Lord Fletcher's and traffic moving to the left. Killeen said there was enough room to have the bypass improved and is working with the County on this. Linnell said the DNR has completed the initial survey for the County to provide knowledge of the right -of -way for traffic control planning. The DNR and County have looked at the turn lane into Tonkawa. Jabbour asked if there will be a minor berm between the access and CoRd 51. Killeen said it would be a depression with a raised up area at the corner. Regarding policing, Linnell said a conservation officer would be patroling the area. He noted that the County Sheriffs Office and local Police Department's also have jurisdiction. Linnell said he has committed to providing a parking space dedicated for police parking. Jabbour asked about the sale of the Straley property. Linnell said that two appraisals have been done but have not come up with a reasonable market value as of yet. When that is done, the property will be offered to the City and others in the proper order. Jabbour asked that the City be notified if others express interest in the property. is 14
