i ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 8, 1990 ZONING FILE #1532 - FULLERTON PROPERTIES, INC. CONTINUED Mr. Flint stated that they would like to connect to the west. What is needed is instructions for the staff to assist in going forward with this connection. This must be discussed at another time. Mr. Franks brought up the point that Outlot A is not being purchased by Fullerton Properties. It remains Cox property but it is part of this development. He does not feel it totally fair that he be giving easement to a property that he does not intend to purchase. At a better time this could have been negotiated with the Cox family. Callahan stated that there is no point in having an easement if there is a "hole in the middle" Mr. Franks said there will be a number of "holes" as the Cox residence is also not part of the subdivision.

After all of the trouble getting to this point, Mr. Franks is in agreement with the proposal except for the fact that the bike path tie into a trail. The decision tonight is whether to approve the final subdivision which will contain in it a provision for the easement, Exhibit F in packet. The bike trail plan is a consideration but the City cannot decide in the future to have a bike trail just on the Frank property. Nettles then questioned the grading suggested by Mr. Cook. He asked Mr. Franks if he had any idea how much more this grading plan would cost. Mr. Franks had no idea. Goetten asked if these costs could be obtained. It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2880 granting the approval of the subdivision as is and requesting the developer to work with the 9 • • •
