My letter indicated that swimming, boating and snowmobiling were uses historically enjoyed <br /> by residents and they were curtailed after the house was built. We have extensive minutes from numerous Park <br /> Commission meetings in 2001 where residents commented about their past uses of the access. We can provide these if <br /> you wish. In 2001 there were a wide variety of resident opinions expressed on how this access should be used in the <br /> future. On October 22, 2001 the City Council on a vote of 4-0 approved a��Class I"classification for this access, which <br /> allowed pedestrian access, launching canoes and other small boats not requiring a trailer, with the understanding no <br /> fishing or swimming will be allowed at this site. The"Class I"designation refers to a system of access classification <br /> designed by the Park Commission but apparently never established by ordinance or formal resolution... <br /> This City Council action to designate uses of the site could be amended, revised or rescinded by a future Council, so it <br /> would be appropriate for potential future adjacent owners to understand that what is in place today could change in the <br /> future. I would also refer you to the section of the Orono Comprehensive Plan (attached) that addresses preservation <br /> and management of lake access points. <br /> Thank you and please let me know if you have further questions. <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtis(a�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> City of Orono Office Hours <br /> Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm <br /> From: Yorks, Patricia E [mailto:PYorks@CBBURNET.COM] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2012 7:24 PM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Cc: Tim Line; Lorie Line <br /> Subject: 4415 Forest Lake Landing <br /> Thank you Melanie for the letter clarifying the approved uses of the Right of Way next to 4415 Forest Lake Landing. I <br /> have attached the approval letter outlining the uses for the Right of Way that the Line's have provided me with. I am <br /> confused because they do not match what you sent me. It appears that this issue was discussed and resolved <br /> previously. In their letter from the city, the acceptable uses are pedestrian uses only, fishing and launching a canoe or <br /> other small boats not using a trailer. It appears that pedestrian uses would not include swimming, boating, snowmobiles <br /> as your letter states. <br /> Perhaps you have a different document as to what the city council has approved? Let me know. <br /> 1 <br />
