MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,March 13,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> City Administrator Rief stated the reason they were pulled off the plan was because they distracted from <br /> the other elements on the plan and that a separate map will be created depicting those. <br /> Carter asked whether the nonactive eagle's nest should be depicted. <br /> Donanchi stated if it is not active, it is not necessary to have it marked, but that the active eagle's site <br /> should be marked. <br /> Carter asked if the MWCD Board reviewed the original plan. <br /> Donanchi indicated they have. <br /> Carter asked if there are any other changes that should be made. <br /> Donanchi stated the feedback from the MWCD Board is that the entire conservation area should marked <br /> and that this plan shows that it is the entire park. <br /> Carter asked if they can leave the picnic area on the plan. <br /> Donanchi indicated they can leave it on the plan but that it will need to be reviewed and approved by the <br /> Watershed District prior to being built. <br /> Edwards stated as these items become a definite project, it will need to go before the Watershed District <br /> and the City Council. <br /> Roath asked if there is such a thing as an ADA compliant dock. <br /> Rief indicated there is. <br /> Edwards stated to his knowledge the current docks are fully ADA compliant and that the compliance <br /> component has to do with the surface, slope, and accessibility for wheelchairs. Edwards stated the bigger <br /> issue is getting from the docks up the hill, but that once you reach that point, most of the grades are <br /> natural. <br /> Rief stated the City is currently reviewing the docks and that they are looking at more longer-term <br /> solutions for storage. Rief stated there is a cost for removal and installation every year and different <br /> solutions are being looked at. <br /> Edwards noted the City used to store the dock on the Island and then the docks were removed and floated <br /> into the bay, but over the years vandalism has occurred to the docks. As a result,a couple of the local <br /> marinas are now storing the docks for the City over the winter. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission to endorse the master plan with the addition of the eagle's <br /> nest and labeling of the concrete pads. <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
