HE SUGGESTED REMOVING THE BARBED <br />WIRE AND PUTTING PLANTINGS ALONG THE FENCE AS HE FELT WE SHOULD KNOW <br />WHOSE PROPERTY ENDS WHERE, AND IN THIS WAY WE COULD STILL DEFINE THE <br />PROPERTY AND GET AWAY FROM THE STOCKADE ATMOSPHERE, <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT STRONGLY THAT WE WILL HAVE TO DEFINE THE <br />NORTH AND SOUTH BOUNDARIES OF THE PARK. <br />MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE STRESSED THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO <br />PROTECT THE FENCE AS REQUESTED UNTIL THIS MATTER CAN BE DETERMINED, BUT <br />COMMENTED THAT THIS IS THE ONLY PARK IN THE COUNTY THAT IS FENCED. <br />THE BOARD INFORMED THEM THAT ALL OF HOBART PARK IS SURROUNDED <br />BY BARBED WIRE, AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO HIRE A FULL TIME SUPERVISOR TO <br />PROTECT THE IMPROVEMENTS MADE THERE. <br />COMMISSIONER LOY EXPLAINED THAT FIRST WE SECURE LAND AND THEN <br />WE DEVELOP, AND WITH DEVELOPMENT COMES SOME RESTRICTIONS TO PROTECT <br />WHAT WE DEVELOP. HOPEFULLY, SOME DAY WE CAN JUSTIFY HAVING SOMEBODY ON <br />DUTY ALL THE TIME. SHE POINTED OUT THAT THE ACTUAL PLAN WE CAME UP WITH <br />CAME FROM THE MEETING MR. PANGBURN SPOKE ABOUT THAT TOOK PLACE THREE <br />YEARS AGO, AND SHE REITERATED THAT THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THE TOURIST TAX <br />PROGRAM AND IS PART OF A LONG RANGE PLAN. SHE AGREED THAT THE BARBED <br />WIRE CAN BE TAKEN OFF AND THE FENCE COULD BE WELL LANDSCAPED. COMMIS- <br />SIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONVENIENCE STORE <br />NOW LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PARK. WE DONT WANT THEIR LITTER, <br />AND SHE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN <br />ANY COUNTY PARK. SHE NOTED THAT SHE HAS TALKED TO RESIDENTS IN THIS <br />AREA WHO NO LONGER USE THE BEACH BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM PEOPLE. <br />MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE AGAIN FELT A THREE SIDED FENCE IS USE- <br />LESS AND PROTESTED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO PARK ON THE PRIVATE PROPERTY <br />BECAUSE OF THE FENCE, THEY NOTED THAT THE PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS NEVER <br />OBJECTED TO THEM PARKING THERE. <br />106 <br />
