>�e''�'� T ap e 3 3-24-69 Page 20 Page 4 to buy a piece of property here , that was formerly part of the property, in the event that it is necessary. Also, in the P�anning Commission, thyey indicated that there is going to be a need, and they indicated that the ideal spot would be Tanager. Tanager is unique on the lake in that it is the only small body of water immediately adjacent to property that is not really useable . Maxwell Bay empties from Stubbs Bay into ( `? ) , but in the case of Tanager, it really is too small for people to do any- thing with. You just go from Tanager into Browns �ay. . . (�veryone talking) Niayor raps for order. Mayor: . . .wedetermine these requestsalong with the rest of it--I think we have ttiose in our requests for bot.h these gentlemen , so . . . Lehtinen : The only change here , this is my property, and this «ill be all parking here. And I am also going to buy this property here--I own the Browns ' Bay side already. hiayor: This particular place do�an there is such a congested area, ev�n on the road, that addin� any more cars in there . . , without even thinking about boats . 1i'e have a double prablem there , when �ve ' re discus�ing that particular area. �-ehtinen: �ell , it ' s been a very poor operation in the past, but I don ' t intend to run it that way. I feel there ' s no reason why there should be that much congestion there , if somebody is taking. . . b-iayor; jVell , when the road goes throuch the way it is , and the traffie we havc: on 15 through there , we ' d have a congestion there if we didn � t have any bo�ts . . . �6re realize this . Do you have any more questions on this? Franzel : That answe�s my c�uF�stions , yes . Mayor: Does anybody else now have anyttaing on this problem ? bian in brown tweed jacket : I ' d just like to say that we would object to on the same grounds as the other marinas . I mean, this congestion is just being multiplied on every turn of the road, her� . Once again, this operation, they don' t have any room to operate on. If you drive 15 a littl� bit, like I do every day of the week, and people crossing the road, it ' s a miracle that no one gets killed, but yet, you go through their slowly, and it ' s all right , but nevertheless , to add another whatever it is-- it seems to me it ' s just absolutely uncalled for. They should arrange some other way to t�a.ke care of these boats and get an area where they' re not having to cross a busy highway that has a traffic count of g,000 a day, an average traffic count on that road, which means it ' s a pretty busy piece—of hig}i�vay to be in people dashing across , park their cars on one side , and run across the road. Lehtinen�: That will be changed--there ' s going to be ;�arki.ng on both sides now. They �von ' t have to cross the road. Man : I don ' t know where� the land ��mng to come from. . . . . . hiayor: �'e know that we have a double problem down h�re , an aecaunt of where the highway is in this particular place , it ' s a probl.em «ithout anything there, and now this ��vill just be adding this much more .
