MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 24, 1992 PRESENTATION BY STEPHEN JOHNSTON — CONT. Johnston noted the plan is quite feasible, but more room could be made by eliminating the fencing proposed. He stated this plan allows for the maximum development of the property. Mabusth noted the City does have the right to take land for park dedication. Based on the City's adopting a development plan of the school property, this would be feasible. Johnston pointed out if the plan is approved and continues to show the encroachment to the east, it would be best for the City to notify the land owner to the east of the potential land request. Mabusth asked if approval has been acquired for access onto County Road 6. Johnston noted they currently do not have approval for the accesses, but noted it may be necessary for only one access. Goetten reminded Johnston that the possible Highway 12 corridor selection process should be kept in mind when planning for this property. Callahan asked about the presidential primary. Moorse explained that some Legislators had tried to overturn the pending presidential primary, but to no avail. He noted the City is expecting a low turn out for the primary and is therefore requesting the consolidation of all precincts into one. It was moved. by Goetten, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to adopt Resolution #3085 to allow the consolidation of all four precincts within Orono into one precinct at Schumann Elementary School for the presidential primary. Ayes 4, nays 0.
