NEETING - DEWITTE
Public Access. Mayor Stock reviewed the fact that on March 11, 1982 the
AVENUE,PU8LI'C <
DNR herd an,Informational Meeting with the neighborhood and'so that the
ACCESS
Council is aware of was said and achieved at the meeting the DNR
representatives wi,l review the information, then the people' who are representing
j
the neighborhood wIII have time to make their pr%esentat I on. Mayor Stock then
asked Del Barber to start with the DNR's presentation.
"
Del Barter stated that fhe DNR was aware that there ,i's a parking problem at
this access and that the DNR.has,been constantly looking for additional
parking:. The property at The corneri Kent and Dewitte came up for sale, the
DNR took a look at,it and it was determined that it would be good additional
parki`ngspace for the public access. An option was taken on it, which is
good until March 26th, he then turned it over to Paul Olson who has worked on
the plan.
Paul Olson went over the lan that the DNR had designed for the
P g parking area,,,
including both theepark area itself and the buffering.
Mayor Stock then asked If there was anyone from the neighborhood that would
like to make their presentation.
Chuck Smerkk spoke in behalf of the neighborhood. HE;r'stated that the Wednesday
night before the'meeting'on March 11, 1982, the neighbors wrote down their
five areas of concern for the location of the park''ing area, Mr. Smerkk stated
that the fifth area of concern is their proposal /to the DNR for a different
area to place -`the proposed parking lot. The fii'rst area of concern was the
traffic congestion, he brought out the areas/, ways of solving this problem
°
to, the Council's attention. The next area „of concern was the number of small
cildren i the neighborhood, children da not look before they run out in the
street and with the amount of traffic already on the streets it will become
more dangerous than it is now if the parking area goes in. The third area of
concern was the litter problem, even 'though the girl from the DNR comes out
and cleans up the access area, there is usually a; one day wafting period from
the 1 i sne its cleaned and the t i me the people use .the access, potential noise
1
and vandalism that could take plate, therehave been problems before where the
neighbors have had to call on the noise that got out of hand and also with the
peop, "le that use the access now,.have a tendency to borrow items from.the`ne'ighbo' -s.,
People are parking their cars'and trailers across County Road 12 already and
i
r
What the neighborhood proposed to the DNR was to acquire the two lots that ar
vacant, he'further stated that the two lots that they had originally talked t
, _the DNR about are not the correct lots, the two that they would like the DNR
to consider are,the two lots next to it, which are better as far as location
'
goes, because that is wherethe.peop'le park now. The Lots are larger then'the

comments that they might have,
k
i
Del Barber stated that the had investigated the neighborhood's
Y 9 g proposed site
and stated that Paul Olson was the one that had done the investigation on
site and reported on the details.
Paul Olson stated that the lots that they investigated were the Imts that the
neighborhood thought were the correct lots; not the'ones that are really the
correct lots. He stated that the lots that they did do the investigation on
was not a good site because of the amount of water that the Tots hold;and that
the Tots are not buildable sites.
Mr. Snterkk apologized for not being aware of the correct lots and that he had
found out about the mistake today, however, if there is a concern for an area
y %
that holds water and floods it would be the, DNRIs proposed site.
Pat Worrell stated that the upper area of the DNR',s proposed site has been turned
over to the City„ as a pz. k area.

selves on proposal and asked the DNR to give 'a high priority rating to the

Councilman Thorkelsoi ";'stated that he agreed with the neighborhood about not
having the parking area in this particular site, in addition, the flve dollar f `"
i
parking tl.cket is not going to stop people from parking on the street, why can't
they be towed away', this would be better enforcement of the law.:`
City "Manager McGuire stated t - they have been towed on occasion, but most of the
4
1,.
'
time the problem is that thFw iolator has left prior to the towing, .but it is
"+
