Mr. Figa said that the Department of Natural Resources had recently notified
the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission that pre -applications to
request matching Land and Water for projects should be forwarded to them by
March 31, 1984. This is the first required review for these funds. If the
pre -application is approved, a full application would be completed later in
the year.
Mr. Figa further stated that the projects had to be identified in the Recreation
Master Plan and be accompanied with a resolution indicating the source of
matching funds.
The projects selected are:
1. The boat rental facility at Groveland Oaks.
2. Phase III Camping Development at Groveland Oaks
3. Phase II Camping Development at Addison Oaks

(Public Hearing, March 7, 1984)
A public hearing is also a requirement of the DNR to qualify for matching funds.
Mr. Figa said that notice of the hearing had been advertised in several area
newspapers and the respective township supervisors were notified.
Mr. Figa explained the scope of each suggested project.
The estimated cost for the boat rental facility at_Groveland Oaks totaled
$240,000; $120,000 from the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and
$120,000 from Land and Water.
Estimated cost of Phase III Camping Development at Groveland Oaks totals

Estimated cost of Phase II Camping Development at Addison Oaks totals $484,800;
$242,400 from the Commission and $242,400 from Land and Water.
Mr. Reickel stated that these projects were planned for 1985 if the funding
is approved. If it isn't approved, none of them will be accomplished.
George Schipper, resident of the City of Pontiac and a member of the National
Campers and Hikers Association addressed the Commission. He asked that they
support administration's plans to expand our camping facilities and indicated
his organization's support of our pa-[, system. Mr. Schipper recommended that
the Commission establish the boathouse and the bridge as its number one priority
in the Groveland development.
Vice-chairman Stanley asked for any further comments or suggestions from the
floor.
