6 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD NOVEMBER 16, 1992 <br />DNR - MAXWELL BAY PUBLIC ACCESS - CONT. <br />Linnell stated it would be difficult to move the location of the <br />ramps within Plans A and B as the County has recommended access to <br />the property at the western lot line. <br />Peterson asked if it wouldn't be wise to consider sacrificing <br />parking spaces to ensure property owners' rights. <br />Linnell stated the proposals direct traffic away from the <br />residential properties. He stated they have tried to provide <br />reasonable setbacks and still maintain a cost effective site, and <br />wherever possible, have tried to incorporate detention ponds. <br />Mike Hilbelink said he has tried to bring to the attention of the <br />Task Force other ava i I ab I e s i tes. He added he wou I d I i ke to see <br />North Shore Drive Marina property included with the proposal. <br />Kimball stated he would be happy to consider any site that goes <br />through the process, which the Task Force is currently developing. <br />Jabbour said, "that is assuming the Task Force is operating above <br />board ". <br />Jim GrathwoI, Chair of the Task Force and Director of the LMCD <br />Board and representative for Excelsior, said, "the Task Force first <br />met in March 1992 and at that time formed three sub - committees, <br />which between March and October met a number of times and discussed <br />a series of recommendations to bring back to the Task Force. At the <br />October meeting of the Task Force, we got to one of the <br />recommendations and adopted a set of standards for parking around <br />Lake Minnetonka. The Task Force was able to approve criteria <br />s i m i I ar to the 10 goa I s adopted i n the 1980. I t was a step forward . <br />The Task Force is going to meet again December 9th to take up the <br />second part of the report of those sub - committees. You may have <br />seen something in the newspaper. We went out and counted 755 <br />car /trailer parking spaces that exist, you can take anybody out and <br />point to them. It may take some time. Now we have to determine how <br />we categorize those 755. There is not much doubt now, and I think <br />the Task Force will agree, how many there are existing. Some of <br />them are bad, and you have mentioned some trouble with parking on <br />the County Road near Henderson. Some of them are good such as at <br />the Henderson Bridge. Our next step, once we adopt the count, we <br />can start to divide them up. We have not reached the point yet <br />where we have even begun to determine which zones this parking <br />should be in. At the same time the question has come up about the <br />procedure, what to do about properties being offered for <br />so car /trailer parking." <br />6 <br />
