CityCouncil | 2017-04-18 | 7 | The Recreation and Parks Director stated the Recreation and Parks Commission voted 18 feet would be adequate to launch small water craft and that one public dock would suffice. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the Recreation and Parks Director stated the Recreation and Parks Commission did not want to allow large motorized water craft at the access point; the Division of Boat and Waterways requires boat trailers to have turnarounds; having large motorized vessels would be unsafe; there should be a full public process. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry on fencing material, the Assistant City Attorney stated staff plans to work with the neighbors; depending on the choices, the City will work with the property owners on the materials and safety parameters. Mayor Spencer inquired what the City has done to protect its rights along the public access point, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded he does not know what efforts the City has made since 1912, but efforts have not been sufficient to prevent encroachments. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City has put up its own fencing, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded in the negative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the City has made efforts to ask homeowners to remove the encroachments, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded he does not know of any efforts at this time. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the Assistant City Attorney stated staff proposed an 18 foot public access easement dock; the Planning Board recommended 35 feet to cover entire bulb out; new information revealed the bulb out on the land is 60 feet, but the Planning Board still recommends 35 feet. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Planner stated staff is asking if Council wants to proceed in subdividing the land to sell the parcel. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the matter has been discussed at a Planning Board meeting and shared with the public, to which the City Planner responded in the negative; stated the matter has not yet been to the Planning Board but will go in the future. In response to Mayor Spencer's inquiry, the City Planner stated staff thought the City only owned 35 feet of the total 60 feet; one homeowner has 10 feet, the other homeowner has 15 feet, and the City owns the 35 feet in between; the Planning Board logic was the easement should be the 35 feet owned by the City.
