He felt this view may be in contrast <br />with Orono's philosophy. <br />CJ <br />Jabbour asked if he felt there were enough neighborhood parks. <br />Welles felt in the higher density areas the park issue has been <br />addressed, and felt that the current Park Dedication ordinance <br />would provide for any necessary future park and open space. <br />Mayor Callahan thanked him for his interest. <br />(#4) INTERVIEW - PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICANTS <br />Moorse announced that John Dalbec has withdrawn his application. <br />Earl Dorn, 4045 Watertown Road, explained he has lived in the <br />Community 23 years and is currently semi- retired and now has time <br />to serve on the Commission.
