ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 2001 <br />• PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS DREW MCDERMOTT, <br />R E PR E S EN TA T I V E— Continue d <br />The Commission also discussed the 39 lake access points. They have identified the first <br />14 that they are requesting the City mark with signage between now and the summer of <br />2002. They agreed on three sign styles: the standard park sign that is 60" tall and green; a <br />flush metal cap that would be set in the ground; and an upright marker that is 30" tall to be <br />located in the common -use areas of the access points with arrows pointing in. He stated <br />that peoples' lawns have flowed into the access points. All of the first fourteen sites are <br />the ones already heavily used, except for Forest Lake Landing. Sansevere asked if Forest <br />Lake Landing would have been in the first group if it hadn't become a public issue. <br />McDermott stated it would not be in the first cut if it weren't such an issue with the <br />neighbors. They have not finished reviewing the methods used to identify classification. <br />He stated he had received a proposal at the beginning of the meeting to classify Forest <br />Lake Landing as a natural area. <br />Nygard suggested he check with Gappa about cleaning up Navarre Park after the grand <br />opening. <br />Sansevere stated McDermott and the Commission do a good job of running their <br />meetings. <br />• PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS —BILL STODDARD, <br />REPRESENTATIVE <br />None. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Lisa Mullen of 4440 Forest Lake Landing stated that she is concerned about the public <br />access. It's currently located in part on her property and she is concerned about people <br />intruding on her living space when they use the access. Part of her house's foundation, <br />deck, stairs, well, and driveway lie on the public land. She would not have a recourse if <br />people intruded on her property. Flint asked if she had been informed about the situation <br />when she bought the property. Mullen stated she had lived there for 7 years and her <br />realtor did not give any dimensions of the lot. <br />Gail Blackstone of 4465 Forest Lake Landing stated that the neighbors had proposed two <br />alternative classifications: class 5 steep slope drainage only, and class IA natural area. <br />She hoped the City would choose a lower -use access designation. She stated she didn't <br />understand how the Mullen house was allowed to be built where it was if the access was <br />0 <br />
