MINUTES OF TflE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 12, 1985. PAGE 2 <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> continued <br /> Speaking in behalf of the petitioning residents, David Fox of <br /> 1645 Bohns Point Rd. , stated that they felt the area was an <br /> established residential area with many families with <br /> children and they should not be subjected to this type of <br /> activity. Mr. Foxstated that the parking problemsincluded <br /> the road being too narrow with inadequate access and parking, <br /> the amount of hours involved, inadequate lighting, and no <br /> sidewalks. <br /> City Administrator Bernhardson explained that staff is <br /> attempting to determine the amount of cars that can be parked <br /> in the area safely. <br /> Margene B. Fox, 1645 Bohns Point Rd. , stated that the Parade <br /> of Homes officials estimated 5 , 000 people visit an upper <br /> bracket home on a typical Sunday for which Bohns Point Road <br /> cannot handle because cars must enter and exit on one street. <br /> She also felt that this was a low estimate. <br /> Councilmember Adams stated thatfrom direct experience, the <br /> number of cars that show up on a saturday and sunday to view <br /> these homes is appalling. Adams feels strongly that the City <br /> should monitor this type of promotional activity. <br /> Judson Dayton, 1655 Bohns Point Rd. , stated that there is a <br /> large green circle area in which the neighbors jointly try to <br /> keep looking nice for the kids to play in and would request <br /> that the area not be used for parking because of the damage <br /> that could be caused on a rainy day. <br /> City Administrator Bernhardson stated that the issues of <br /> parking in the circle and travel along the circle is strictly <br /> a private party matter between Mr. Krutzig, as part owner, <br /> and the other owners. <br /> Mr. Krutzig stated that he talked with the Chief of Police and <br /> has made arrangements for assistance for the parking and the <br /> heavy traffic which would occur mainly on weekends. <br /> blayor Butler felt that because there would be a steady f low of <br /> cars coming in and out, there must be enough room for two cars <br /> to pass each other. <br /> Robert H. Owens, 1700 Bohns Point Rd. , expressed his concerns <br /> for the safety of children and particularly the access for an <br /> emergency vehicle if necessary. Mr. Owens also stated that <br /> the City has a responsiblity to look at the public safety <br /> issues. <br />
