March 3, 1982 Park Board Meeting ,~F, ~,~'r~_ Steve Kirk, 2311 2 (?) NW Page 8 Support regional park on Long Lake. Urge board to consider the questions here tonight. Need a spirit of cooperation. Consider all aspects. Hear vandalism and enforcement concerns. Felt concerns had-been answered. Ther are alot of registered watercraft in Minnesota. Long Lake belongs to me and. my family and all others. Concerned with Long Lake, as well as other lakes. Lake can only bean asset to the City. Open space areas-and undeveloped property on the lakes area rare commodity. Dr. John Ragen, 1203 Mississippi .Appreciate all the work.. Have concern with .asphalt, health and safety factors. Taking all boats off would be the best for safety. Prefer to error in a way that is reversible. If you must make a decision.- error on side of leaving green space. Elaine Schussler, 1657 14th.~ve~.; N_.W. Have .lived on Long Lake's placid shores since 1946 and have .worked to maintain tax base. Don't .endorse everything Pat Commers has said. Nominates herself as a committee of one.. Meeting of the minds ought to be endeavored. Want to talk about New Brighton as a really sharp .place. with built-in, strongly. vested downtown development.: I see new downtown active and with a connection to Long Lake. 800 to 1,000 feet from 694 would be ideal for multiple use space, open to quality development. in keeping with downtown. This would be in connection. with Long Lake. Let's .look at a place to capitalize on new New Brighton and Long Lake. Could have a fancy sea food restaurant, Chanhassen-like theater and auditorium making use of the lake. I-see it as enhancing the quality of life.. Acreage could be divided in three sections; south as recreational, .middle .section quiet and passive, and the north more passive. Long Lake beach could be a club. Recreation should be community based. Might city planners and Park Board incorporate Long Lake as part of downtown. Let's be new New Brighton. .Let Long Lake and downtown be as one. Present this to all officials related to-the park. Plans are just plans, doors are never closed. Paul Sch~eppe,1227 12th Ave. N.W. It's not as simple as people want to think it is. Belonged to the Long .Lake Improvement Association and then didn`t,. but now back on. Concerned with boats. It is dangerous. Have to be more controls. The boat section has to be looked at. Like to see design of lake after buoys are up and all the boats are on the .lake. Sure you are not so naive that you don`t. see :the problem. If land is that delicate, think it is a disgrace with all the black top. Hope you'll take. it into consideration.
