JS Does that answer the question? KB: Yes JIm; Okay. This gentleman I believe had his hand up. Yes, just to make a comment. Ken Brown, I live atL440 rlounds Ave. I won't comment on the Park itself. did-}ike-to-express I think the expression of the group here reflects my sentiments. The only additional point that I'd make is that the water use a.s far as boats ,I think could be addressed to sooner in our planning than what we've alluded to here since we already have public access I think that some restrictions might be ~,n-order along the lines of long term use of the boasts., whether that's restricted by horse power or what. I speak as a boat owner, but as an experienced boat owener who does not live on ~ the lake and that lake is not suitable for power boats. At the same time if you let the public on the lake with boats I would be restricted to my use on that lake with my children with canoes and sailboats. I would like to use the lake. I'd like nothing better than to use it. But I think the use has to be restricted to non power boats. And I think we should address ourselves to that problem perhaps now. We already have a.n access. We already have the problem so I don't think we need to wait ~ s or 6 years to determine Kl~at the citizens of New Brighton should have access or not. whtehr Maybe we should address that early. That's the only cojment that I have. JS Yew sir My name is Tort Post, I live atL162 Ia.kebrook. A short question. I just wondered what you felt would be the desirea.bility of having 3 parking lots 3 seperate parking lots in a park of fairly limited size. JS Maurie, could you respond to the parking? MA The parking lots a.re tied into the activity areas a.nd we attempted to spread out the activity areas rather than concentrate for instance sal the picnicking at one site and ending up with a 2 acre parking lot and a. LO acre picnic site. We've broken them down to picnic areas here, here and then picnic area. in conjunction with the beach here. So the size, the shape, the location of the parking lots would be directly related to the other activities going on. There's no desire to put a parking lot in just for the sake of a parking lot. But would be tied directly to the activities that would be provided. JS Yes
