MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 25, 1994 PROPERTIES, ( #4) #1901 TANDEM PROPE , 2645/3025 WATERTOWN ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION - RESOLUTION NO. (CONTINUED) for the three acres -in Outlot A and should not be charged park dedication fees on land that - would be public land. He stated that Mrs. Dickey had wanted the site protected and they believed that the City was the best agency to do that. Mayor Callahan noted that a homeowners association would have difficulty when people from outside the neighborhood wanted to visit the sacred site, and he believed the City was the proper agency to deal with that issue. Sherokee Ilse requested the Council to delay taking action to allow her to work with Mr. Putnam to resolve the issue of the sacred site in Outlot A. She noted that the first people who alter a sacred site are the people responsible to prove whether it is or is not a sacred site. If the City accepts the site then it will become the City's responsibility to prove whether it is or is not sacred land. She felt this should be established prior to the City accepting the land. Mayor Callahan stated he felt that some action needed to be taken because this issue had been discussed and no resolution appeared to be forthcoming in the near future. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Kelley to deny the developer's request and adhere to the decision made previously regarding the park dedication fees, except that the area included • in Outlot A should not be included in the total value of the property for the computation of the park dedication fee. Ayes 3, nays 2. Jabbour stated he would not support the final subdivision until a final determination was made regarding the location of the sacred site on the property.
