At this <br /> pointo neighhors Crawford anc� Petrin circulated <br /> • their petition requesting the opening of the fire <br /> lane for neighborhood access, The new ou�ner at <br /> � 1545 Long Lake Boulevard, Richard r2urlowski, has <br /> � complained about continuing use of the f_ire lane, <br /> �ecent inspections have shown that the boat and <br /> ' dock have not been removed, Use of the fire lane <br /> as nu�lic access would seem to raise questions <br /> � about City liability in case of accident. <br /> • T�ieMo from John R.

Iie feels <br /> the amount of use by other people in the neighbor- <br /> w hood is an invasion of his privacy, �lus the fact <br /> � that it is an illegal use of the pronert_y if it <br /> is so designated as a fire lane. <br /> � iirs, Donna Craw�`ord insisted that Ivy Lane is a lake <br /> r access and they should be allowed to use it as a <br /> s���imMing beach for their neighborhood only. <br /> • <br /> �Zr. Lew Capron stated Ivy Lane has been used by <br /> the neighborhood for several years, but this year <br /> � several neighbors got toqether and cleaned up the <br /> area, which accounts for the increased use. {Continuec�) <br /> • <br /> + <br />
