<br />year. Unattended campgrounds, ho\vever, are not recommended.
<br />
<br />A w~ll-built RV campground will also requITe bath house and restrooms on-site. In fact all of the
<br />south'shore park needs restroom facilities which are light and clean. Controlling access to the
<br />park, careful selection ofbuilding materials, and a full-time lake caretaker will minimize vandalism
<br />to these structures. Package aerobic waste\vater treatment systems with subsurface disposal
<br />fields are recommended for use with bath houses and restrooms.

<br />adequate access routes into the park.

<br />6. Maintenance costs exceed city's present
<br />ability to maintain high level parks;
<br />additional staffing needed.
<br />
<br />6. Opens the property up to traffic and
<br />reduces criminal activity and vandalism.
<br />
<br />If the city is to adequately open the south shore to formal park development replete with
<br />campgrounds and picnic facilities for hundreds ofpersons at one time, the access roads to the site
<br />must be improved. We have included in this section the cost ofimproving the park as well as the
<br />cost of improving each of three access routes. At least one million dollars will be necessary if
<br />all three routes are widened and resurfaced.
<br />
<br />With respect to priority, the improvement to Lake Crook Road is the highest priority and CR
<br />32900 and NW 19th Street tie for second priority.
<br />
<br />The access to NW 19th Street should be opened up even ifit must be gated for night time security.
<br />Daytime traffic from NW 19th Street and Lake Crook Road will be essential to deter crime and
<br />illegal dumping in the area.
<br />
<br />Improvements to existing boat ramps and fishing piers is recommended. An additional fishing
<br />pier is recommended on the north shore when that park is eventually developed. Several
