TO: Walter R. Benson & Big Island Files <br /> FROM: Alan P . Olson, City Planner <br /> DATE: August 3, 1983 <br /> SUBJECT: Site Inspection of Big Island & Deering Island <br /> Tom Jacobs, Mike Gaffron and I toured the islands on the <br /> morning of August 3 , 1983 . <br /> Veteran ' s Camp: We met with camp manager Mark Peterson and <br /> toured th� whole property . The camp was fully operating with <br /> about 70 campers plus staff. Generally everything looked very <br /> neat and much improved over past visits . Later in that day <br /> they were to be visited by about 60 legislative , veteran ' s <br /> affairs and regional park people . We did not become involved <br /> in that meeting. <br /> l . Dock license : 3 docks in place and used for camp <br /> boats and transient boats totalling about 6-8 slips . <br /> " Also near Point Charming was another dock with 2 <br /> large power boats obviously stored for an extended <br /> period of time (I understand the cabin located there <br /> is occupied by one couple every year for almost the <br /> whole summer) . <br /> 2 . Beer license : No beer is being sold at the camp and <br /> there was no evidence of any on the property . <br /> 3 . Cigarette license: Some sales of cigarettes are ' <br /> on-going. Peterson said the license application <br /> was being held until he got an insurance certificate <br /> for workman' s comp . He was told that sales were <br /> illegal until he had a license approved. <br /> 4 . Dumps : The one dump on the hill has been removed <br /> and the area cleaned up satisfactorily. The dump � <br /> near the lakeshore hasn ' t been touched - it is still <br /> in place as it has been: since before 1976 . (It also <br /> hasn ' t be�n used for at least that long) . Peterson <br /> inquired about getting a permit to bury this dump <br /> and was told absolutely not, that it must be dug up <br /> and hauled off the island like the other one . He <br /> said he needed time . He was told that there had been <br /> too many broken promises including one by Jerry <br /> Donlin that the dump would be gone before the camp <br /> opened for the 1983 season. Last word is that it <br /> was to be cleaned up by labor day. <br />
