Unsound Municiple Use and Plannin� <br /> A park or recreational development in a residential <br /> community should enhance the value of surrounding - <br /> residential property and have a positive impact on the <br /> lifestyle and general well being of the people already <br /> residing in the area. Since the above effects of the <br /> proposed project have not been demonstrated to the <br /> community by the Park Reserve District, proceeding with <br /> the project cannot be consistent with the responsibilities <br /> of the Orono City Council and Planning Commission for the <br /> sound use and planning of land within the municiple system <br /> it serves. <br /> IV. Imprudent Use of Public Funds <br /> We find the proposed expenditure of approximately <br /> $1, 250, 000 of public funds for this particular project <br /> inconsistent with the realities and priorities of life <br /> in Minnesota today. We reach the same conclusion regarding <br /> the scope of the proposed five year Regional Park System <br /> capital improvement program of $139, 000, 000. It will be <br /> our intent to make our feelings we11 known to the 1979 <br /> legislature should such a recommendation be made. <br /> With no intention of being al1 inclusive, and consistent with <br /> . the points raised above, we specifically seek to limit the <br /> . - development and use of the land in the following manner : <br /> 1) That parking be forever restricted to 25 passenger vehicles <br /> and no buses at one time, and that development of a parking <br /> area not exceed what is practical fox 25 passenger vehicles . <br /> 2) That no entrance for publ�c access be allowed within 150 <br /> yards of any private property line, no parking be allowed <br /> south of County Road Sl , no parking be allowed within 75 <br /> yards of County Road 51, and no parking be allowed within <br /> 150 yaxds of Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> 3) That no support or visitor �acility be constructed south <br /> of County Road 51, within 150 yards of Old Crystal Bay <br /> Road, or within 75 yards of County Road 51. <br /> 4) That visitor facilities be limited to washrooms , drinking <br /> fountains , and telephones . <br />
