' . Page 4 <br /> l pN � E JUNE, 1980 <br /> PRIVATE OPEN SPACE <br /> A significant amount of the recreation-open space in Orono is that <br /> controlled by private golf and country clubs. Large acreages are <br /> are owned by the Wayzata Country Club , Woodhill Country Club, and <br /> Lakeview Golf Course . While technically private , these areas provide <br /> open space benefits to all nearby residents plus active recreational <br /> facilities for many Orono and lake area citizens . <br /> LAKE MINNETONKA ISLANDS <br /> Land on Big Island , Mahpiyata Island and Deerinq Island has been <br /> privately owned for years and has been used for a significant . <br /> number of seasonal cottages plus a few year-round homes . The City <br /> of Orono cannot provide cost effective public sezvices to these <br /> islands . Homes .have been Iost because of fire , vandalism rates <br /> are significant , sanitation and garbage problems exist , and <br /> transportation problems are difficult . Therefore , it has long <br /> been the policy of the City to encourage eventual public ownership <br /> of the islands as recreational resources for general lake users . <br /> The City continues to encourage control by the Hennepin County <br /> � Park Reserve as the most appropriate aqency for this purpose . <br /> � The City understands that this conversion is a necessarily slow <br /> process . The City does not intend to encourage condemnation or � <br /> active acquisition programs . The City does encourage the Park � <br /> Reserve to acquire any and all. island property as it becomes � <br /> available . Sn the interir� , the City will continue to allow rural �i <br /> residential land use subject to strict enf.orcement of all performance (� <br /> standards and the explicit understanding that the City will never ' <br /> be able to provide even basic public services. <br /> i. <br />':� <br />� <br />( CMP 4-31 <br />
