REGULAR rZEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, JUNE 29, 1978 Page 27 <br /> The property does have an area that would DAYTON PARK PROPERTY <br /> accommodate ten to fifteen vehicles if a parking (Continued) <br /> �_ot were constructed. The area needed would <br /> �e approximately 3, 000 sq. ft. <br /> Material costs for a crushed rock parking lot: $1, 900 - <br /> Labor: $350 <br /> The City currently has three swimming beaches with <br /> eleven sections of dock at each beach. I would <br /> recommend at least this much dock at the Dayton � <br /> property. <br /> Eleven sections of dock @ $168 = $1, 848 <br /> In addition to this at the three beaches now <br /> maintained by the City, we are required to install <br /> only authorized swim area buoys that consist of <br /> three large buoys and approximately twenty small <br /> marker buoys. <br /> Because of the frontage of the beach, I would <br /> recommend at least four large swim area buoys and , <br /> thirty sr.iall marker buoys. <br /> Four swim area buoys and 30 small marker <br /> buoys : $1, 080 <br /> ^able and weights : $200 <br /> 1'axes due in 1978 are $2,324.02 <br /> It would be difficult to know exactly how manv <br /> manhours would be involved to maintain this <br /> property, but even at minimum maintenance at <br /> least eight hours a week would have to be considered. <br /> Eight hours per week minimum: $2,288 <br /> There have been several discussions about this <br /> property and during those discussions, the corunent <br /> has come up several times about �aho will benefit <br /> the riost from the development of a public swimming <br /> beach at this location; the point being directed <br /> to whether Long Lake residents will benefit more <br /> than Orono residents. There is no doubt that the <br /> density of population in this area is far greater <br /> in Long Lake than in Orono, but I am sure that <br /> several residents are using recreation facilities <br /> in Long Lake and I do not feel this would be a <br /> point of argument. <br /> Of the items of concern, I feel that if the City <br /> of Orono is to accept this property, it must <br /> consider the problems with the other three swim- <br /> ting beaches that are now being used. They are <br /> basically the same situations being adjacent to <br /> residential property. <br /> (Continued) <br />
