January 6, 1988 Park Board Minutes Page 7 <br />B. Long Lake Boat Launch <br />Ken Simons was present to discuss two issues; the early <br />ideas for the boat launch and the north access to Long <br />,Lake Park off of Mississippi. <br />Simons introduced Mr. Schilling, a resident in the north <br />end of the city, who has. some concerns about the access. <br />Simons said there may be two. entrances; one off of <br />Mississippi and the other off of Poppyseed. Landscape. <br />buffers-will be used between Mr. Schilling's property and <br />the park. <br />Johnson told Simons that the Park Board was in favor of <br />having Mississippi as the primary access-and excited <br />about having a Poppyseed access .also. <br />Simons said he is checking some legalities about whethex <br />an easement is necessary for the formal entrance at <br />Mississippi. <br />Simons said this .plan will be taken to the Long Lake <br />Advisory Committee. Not sure the city needs to have a <br />hearing.on this. No formal action is necessary on the <br />entrance. <br />Williams asked if there .were any parking problems <br />perceived,- <br />Schilling stated that it is a problem now-and this new <br />access will compound the problem. <br />Simons said the proposed large group picnic area will <br />have parking. Don't see why people will want to park on <br />the street, unless because of fishing. Most people will <br />use the parking lot. <br />Johnson asked if parking could be allowed by permit only <br />in that area to discourage public parking. <br />Van Hatten asked Schilling if he wanted to forestall the <br />access. <br />Schilling said no, most people in that neighborhood see <br />it as an advantage. <br />Van Hatten said maybe parking should be banned on one <br />side of the street. <br />
