CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 18, 1983 -7- 7. DEMONTREVILL@1 ACCESS - CONTINUED: --Jan Fouks, 7864 Demontreville Tr.. N. - the 'legalparking area, adjacent to the access creating a hazardous situation hazardous to leave driveway when it is icy- cars are right there --no place to go. Cars have to take a run at the access ramp to get off the lake - come flying out of access. Those that don't make it continually go to (Fouks) house to call tow trucks - tired of being the public warming house. --Eder_- astked if most of the cars still use the access to get onto the lake. --Jan Fouks - they fill up the parking area, rest drive out to their fishhouses.- when they return in the evening the area is steep and there is a hole in the ice a few feet out from the shore which requires the cars to take a run at the access. --Kim Zauner, 7848 Demontreville - also favors closing the access temporarily, until another access is built and the problem is resolved. It is a safety hazard - this winter has been unreal. The location of their driveway makes it very difficult to get in and out with the cars parked on the road because the snow is mounded up. Would like to see it temporarily closed until it can be resolved. --Eder - verified that the snow isn't adequately plowed back, so that the cars are not totally off the road, Mrs. Zauner agreed, --Randy Zauner, 7848 Demontreville - would like to see it closed. Big risk to the fishermen because of the condition of the access. Poor access and big safety hazard. Close it. --Allen Noreen, 7960 Demontreville Tr. N.- have been involved with this for the past four years. Plan that is proposed is very consistent with what a group of residents pecpmmended about the first time this was discussed. Regarding closing the access - think it is an unsafe situation, as it is presently, yet, at least, it is a controlled situation. Favor keeping it open until the new access is completed. --Roger McQuade, 7872 Demontreville - reitterate what neighbors have said - had the unfortunate incidence of hitting a car in front of his driveway, This becomes a traffic congestion and is very marrow. Has a steep driveway, but with the on going traffic it is inconvenient to get in and out. This is not limited to any particular day of the week - virtually seven days a week.. Is a fisherman and uses the lake, but the parking and traffic conditionsare difficult for the people in the immediate area. --Eder - appears problems are'created by snow not being -plowed: far enough off the shoulder, weather conditions and Lack of maintenance of the access- creating ar.`icy access area, and a problem at the"bottom of the access where the ice is separated from the shore, --:'veg Fouks - problem with the plowing is that when the County wants to plow cars are parked in the area, also the vehicles don't want to get too close to the bank area and get stuck so they keep a portion of their tire(s) on the pavement. --Al Noreen - this year, outside of snowmobiles, cars are not taking access at other points around the lake, but, think once the access is closed , no question, access will be taken across private property. --Michael Bonn - if the access is closed, when will the ice houses have to be taken off. Many houses on the lake - will have to inform dwners if thedate for removal is different from the State requirement.
