� - <br /> • REGjULAR `MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MAY 9 , 1977 Page 4 <br /> � Park Commission DZinutes - November 16 , 1976 IVY LANE PETITION <br /> (Continued) <br /> �Kallestad moved, Peasley seconded, to agree <br /> with the Planning Commission recommendation <br /> � to deny the continued use of this area. We <br /> • recommend that no permanent structures be <br /> allowed and that use of the area be discoura�ed. <br /> � It is difficult to maintain and to police. <br /> Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) . <br /> • <br /> John Gerhardson, Public Works Supervisor - <br /> • April 20 , 1977 <br /> � On Wednesday, iday 13, 1977, Mr. Gregg Frank, of <br /> • McCombs-Knutson Engineering; Mr. Hank Muhich, <br /> Zoning Administrator and myself, inspected the <br /> � Ivy Lane access off Long Lake Boulevard. <br /> � My recommendation would be not to use Ivy Lane <br /> as a public swimming beach for the following <br /> • reasons: The cost for making a safe pedestrian <br /> � entrance to the lake from Long Lake Boulevard <br /> would be beyond our budget now and in future, <br /> � maintenance would be very costly. Because of <br /> the width of the access, and according to our <br /> � dock ordinance, the ten (10) foot setback <br /> from both property lines would only leave us <br /> �' five (5) feet to install a swimming dock. <br /> � From past experience, a public swimming beach <br /> on a narrow strip is nothing but inconvenience <br /> � to the adjoining property owners and generates <br /> numerous; complaints every year. <br /> • <br /> Letter- from- Greg-Frank-;--City Engineer - April 21, _1977 <br /> � <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the feasibility of -. . <br /> • providing a public access -to Lake Minnetonka from <br /> A Ivy Lane. <br /> � The steep slopes on ivy Lane restrict access. <br /> Several wood steps have been placed into the <br /> � soil making access possible, but the steps cannot <br /> be considered as permanent. In fact, it appears <br /> � that at one time there were more steps and these <br /> may have sub�equently disappeared as a result of <br /> � drainage flowing down this area. <br /> � In order to provide a satisfactory access, Orono . <br /> � would need to comply with OSHA regulations <br /> regarding steps, landings, inclines, railings, etc. <br /> � The project may become rather complicated, but <br /> will be necessary to make this a safe access. <br /> � Some tree removal can be expected.
