I have enclosed two articles pertaining to Pine Knob that appeared
in the Oakland Press that 1 thought might be of interest to you. A
financial report is also enclosed for your review.
Jim Brennan, Finance Director, and I presented preliminary findings
to Dan Murphy and Lew Wint a couple of weeks ago and we would like to
present these same findings to you this Wednesday. Jim Brennan will
be present to assist with the presentation.
I must note that Jim Brennan, Jeff Pardee, County Budget Manager,
and Chuck Ross worked very hard in trying to get as much information as
possible so that an objective report could be made to you. The purpose
of this session will be informational only so that we may bring you up-
to-date.
We will not be asking for any decision at this time and it is our
plan that upon the conclusion of this presentation and any questions that
you might have, we will adjourn and proceed to the Pine Knob complex so
that you may have an opportunity to see the facility.
As I understand it, some of you have not been there and it would be
unfair to ask you to make any kind of decision pertaining to the Pine
Knob acquisition until you had an opportunity to visit it. Lew and I
arranged for you to have lunch there which will be at Commission expense
(continued)
(Executive Session - Pine Knob)
and not Pine Knob's. Members of the Pine Knob Investment Company will
be available to give you a presentation and answer any questions that
you might have.
Once all of this is done, I would hope that we could get together
at another special session after you have had time to think about this
and develop more questions to talk about the feasibility of this potential
County Park.
It is very important that all of you, or at least as many as
possible, attend this session, as well as the tour.
Betty will be calling you so we can know in advance as to whether
or not you will be able to go on the tour and have lunch.
am anxiously looking forward to this session.

Pine Knob park plans
tabled in Independence
By SANDRA L. COMBS
Of The Oakland Press
INDEPENDENCE TWP. — Pine
Knob's plan for an amusement
park with a tilt -a -whirl, dodge-em
cars, and a Ferris wheel nine
stories high was tabled by the
Planning Commission on Thursday
night.
The park is the latest proposal by
Pine Knob owners Joseph
Locricchio and Gary Francell to
make the complex more profitable.
Francell said they needed the
park to make some money.
"We've lost 57 days of skiing," he
said. "This would be an income
facility for me to help pay my debt
service on my ski resort."
The 12-ride_ amusement park
would be on four acres between the
Pine Knob Lodge and the Pine
Decision near on buying
Pine Knob. See A-2
Knob Music Theater, northwest of
the ski hill area.
A tramway, carrying elevated
gondola -type cars, is proposed to
run from the Pine Knob Lodge
across the face of the ski hill to the
mansion area.
James Smith, commission
president, said the commission
faces two problems in making a
decision.
He said the commission must
determine whether the amusement
park is authorized under the zoning
ordinance and whether the park is
compatible with other uses in the
(Continued on A-2)
Pine Knob plans tabled
(Continued from A-1)
complex and in the best interest of
the community.
Tod Kilroy, the township's
community planner, said Pine
Knob's land is zoned recreation and
the park could be permitted if the
Planning Commission says it is
compatible with surrounding land
uses.
The commission tabled its
decision to ask township Attorney
Richard Campbell for a legal
opinion on the issue.
The Pine Knob complex has a
golf course, music theater, ski
resort, swimming pool, tennis
courts, restaurant, pro shop and
condominiums.
The condominiums, which
haven't been completed, are owned
by Borg-Warner Equities, based in
Chicago, M.
Timothy Mass, attorney for
Borg-Warner, said his client owns
200 acres south and west of the
proposed amusement park and
strongly objects to the amusement
park.
Some rides planned for the park
are a merry-go-round, tilt -a -whirl,
dodge-em cars, zipper, roundup,
octopus, parachute drop and an 88-
to 95-foot-high Ferris wheel.
Kilroy said the Ferris wheel
couldn't be regulated by the
township zoning ordinance, which
limits buildings to 35 feet, because
the ride is defined as a structure,
not a building.
Many of the approximately 30
residents at the meeting
complained that the amusement
park was out of character with the
rest of the area.
James Brennan, commission
member, said, "When I see what
was being developed as one of the
best recreational areas in the
region and state now being reduced
to a carnival -type area, I find it
objectionable. I can't believe this
was part of the original plan of the
owners."
Kilroy said, "I would point out
that the proposed amusement park
seems to be out of character with
the established quality of
development in the Pine Knob
complex."
Francell disagreed.
"We have not degraded our
lounge, our mansion or our theater
with this idea," he said. "We won't
have raggedy rides."
Rides would be operated during
the music theater season for
special school events, company
picnics and similar activities, he
said. Only three rides would be
permanent and the others would be
put into storage at the end of the
season.
Many residents and commission
members said they liked Pine
Knob's previous idea, a resort -
convention hotel, better than an
amusement park.
Francell, however, said, "The
hotel is in the past."
Township voters in October
defeated the 200-foot-high hotel that
would have been built on 10 acres in
the middle of the complex.
Decision near on Pine Knob sale
By CINDY GOODAKER
Of The Oakland Press
The Oakland County Parks and
Recreation Commission should be
able to make a decision on buying the
Pine Knob recreation complex within
the next few weeks, says Parks
Department Director Eric Reickel.
The commission is awaiting the
outcome of a financial study under
way by the county Management and
Budget Department.
"We want to determine whether
Pine Knob would be a reasonable or
feasible purchase. We (Parks and
Recreation Department staff)
wouldn't recommend it unless it
would be self-supporting," Reickel
says.
County Budget Director James
Brennan estimates it will be a month
before his staff can figure what a fair
price would be for the 400-acre
complex.
He had no estimate of what that
price might be, but Independence
Township assesses the property's
value at about $4.2 million.
"We're nowhere near a conclusion
as to whether it would be feasible,"
Brennan says. "We want to make
darn sure we're right in what we do."
Reickel says the commission
wouldn't compete with a private
buyer for the complex.
"My only concern is that we have a
very unusual recreational complex
that should be maintained as it is," he
says.
The complex was offered to the
county last fall after Independence
Township voters turned down a
change in building height restrictions
that would have allowed the current
owners to build a 21-story hotel.
It had been offered for sale to the
county once before in 1975 by the
complex's previous owners, Indusco
Corp.
The theater is leased trom Yme
Knob by the Nederlander Theatrical
Corp. Brennan says he didn't know
what contractural arrangements
would continue if the county bought
the complex.
If the Parks and Recreation
Department voted to buy Pine Knob,
it would be purchased by selling
bonds, which would have to be
approved by the Board of
Commissioners.
Whether county voters would have
a voice in the decision will depend on
the type of bonds selected. If the site
is purchased with revenue bonds, no
vote will be needed because the debt
will be repaid with revenues from
Pine Knob's operations.
Although the Parks and Recreation
Department is part of county
government, it operates
autonomously, funded by a quarter -
mill tax levied countywide.

MANAGER'S REPORT
---For those of you who know Dave Laidlaw, I am sorry to inform you that his
wife, Gerry, passed away early this month. Saw Dave at the MRPA Conference
and he seems to be doing quite well.
---Received $100 check from the Bloomfield Plaza Shopping Center, Inc., which
is owned by Irwin I. Cohn, a friend of the parks. This is the third gift
that Mr. Cohn has given us. The other two were a $5,000 gift for the Pike
Rearing Marsh at Independence Oaks and $1,000 for helping us conduct the
1976 millage campaign. A letter of thanks was sent to Mr. Cohn.
---Request for reimbursement for the 1979 operations at the Springfield Youth
Activities Center was submitted to Accounting and also a letter was sent to
Milton Handorf informing him the Commission will be requesting more support
for the YAC in 1980. Copy of the report attached.
---We have received two resolutions; one from the Township of West Bloomfield
and one from the City of Huntington Woods supporting the Therapeutic Recreation
Program.
---We have been informed by Gary Zuercher of Wave Tek that the Heritage
Conservation and Recreation Service has lifted the hold on funding of wave
pools through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. It has taken them a while
but they have finally realized the value of the pool in spite of Senator
Proxmire's Golden Fleece Award.
---American Cancer Society has requested the use of Glen Oaks, Springfield Oaks,
and White Lake Oaks for three qualifying sites for the 2nd Annual Junior
Walter Hagen Golf Tournament the first week of August. They requested the
permission by February 1st so permission was given and we will just fit them
in with our regular play so there will not be a need for blocking out any
special time.
---Janet Pung has submitted a spring exhibit schedule for our display at
nine different locations throughout Oakland County.
---A request was received from Mrs. Lloyd Vergin asking permission to farm
35 of the 50 acres that we own at Springfield Oaks for agriculture. I have
forwarded her request to Jack Hays of Civil Counsel for him to draw up a
proper agreement which would then be brought back to you for approval.
---The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission has been served with a
complaint by a Berkley woman alleging that her daughters were denied admission
to Groveland Oaks on July 7, 1979. Copy of the complaint and a newspaper
article is attached for your information. I can recall the lady calling this
office and asking for our policy and, at that time, investigating it but we
could not locate anyone who recalled the incident. I do not know what the
disposition of this case will be but 1 will keep you informed as it progresses.
---Some 350 to 400 Special Olympians are expected to participate in the third
annual Oakland County Special Olympic Winter Games at Independence Oaks on
Saturday, February 2. The event is for mentally impaired residents of Oakland

Suit park's c]hallen es status
g
COURTHOUSE — A Berkley woman has
filed suit in Oakland County Circuit Court
claiming the Oakland County Department of
Parks and Recreation's policy setting aside
Groveland Oaks Park as a family
campground is discriminatory.
Ann Brenner alleges her daughters, Lisa
and Shelley, were denied admission to the
Holly park because they didn't constitute a
family as defined by a park ranger: a mother,
father and child.
In seeking damages over $10,000, Brenner
claims her daughters were denied park
admission because of their age and marital
status.
On July 7, 1979, the suit alleges, Lisa, 17,
and Shelley, 19, were denied admission after
previously calling for a reservation and being
assured the park had campsite vacancies.
R. Eric Reickel, parks and recreation
department director, while not commenting
on the case, says Groveland and Addison
Oaks parks have been defined as family
campgrounds.
A family is mother and/or father and
immediate family, he says.
Camping by single persons apparently is
not allowed.
In seeking damages, Mrs. Brenner also
alleges her daughters were harassed and
mistreated.
The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge
Alice Gilbert, but no hearing date has been
set.
