APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the August 2, 1993 meeting were approved with no corrections or additions. OPEN MIKE: Mr. Robert Benning of 6788 E. Shadow Lake Drive appeared under "Open Mike". He 's aware that Country Lakes Park is being re- designed and requested that Reshanau Lake be made more accessible to residents who want to use it. He would like a road to be made to the lake so that boats could be brought in and put in the water there. George Lindy gave a brief history of the park and explained that the grade is too shallow here for a boat landing. He also talked about the continuous silting problem involved here and the concerns of placing a boat landing too close to a swimming area. Mr. Lindy asked Mr. Benning if he had any suggestions. Mr. Benning noted that this is the only lake park in the city and feels it should be able to be used by boaters. He thinks that now is the time to put a boat landing in as long as the park is being re -designed. Right now boaters have to carry their boats 100 to 200 yards to put them in. Discussion followed where it was noted that moving the landing to another area on the lake would be nearly impossible considering the difficulty in obtaining permits. Mr. Benning stated that he would like residents who want to use the lakes in the city to be given as much consideration as those who want to use the trails and fields, etc. for other types of recreation. George Lindy thanked Mr. Benning for his interest and time and noted that his suggestions will be taken into consideration. OLD BUSINESS: Concept Plans for Country Lakes and Baldwin Lakes Park - Marty Asleson reported that Brauer and Associates has finished with the concept plans for the two parks.
