MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1991 <br /> ORONO SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT PLAN REVIEW — CONT. <br /> Skalicky reviewed Concept 1 � which entails making the entire area <br /> a park. She noted that the pond is actually a rectangular shape, <br /> but has filled in and it no longer appears this way. She felt <br /> the oak knoll could be the center part of the park with a picnic <br /> area, with a connecting play area. She felt the lift station <br /> would have to be screened. Her plan included a boardwalk through <br /> the marsh, which could connect to the single family residence on <br /> the east and that connects to Willow Drive. She noted that the <br /> marsh is a part of the French Lake water system. She indicated <br /> that the dike currently serves as a boardwalk around the entire <br /> pond. <br /> Chair Flint felt that the connection to the single family <br /> residence to the east was probably not practical . <br /> Skalicky noted that portion of the boardwalk could be <br /> elmininated. <br /> Skalicky reviewed Concept 2, which entails development of the <br /> entire parcel for single family dwelling. She noted the property <br /> is currently zoned 2 acre, residential , which she would recommend <br /> rezoning to R—lA, 1 acre, residential . She felt the 2 acre <br /> zoning would not allow for many homes and therefore would not be <br /> cost effective for a developer to pursue. She noted that with <br /> the 1 acre zoning, 8 homes could be constructed, using the 150' <br /> setback as designated by the DNR. <br /> Chair Flint asked about the 8% park dedication of land for public <br /> use. <br /> Skalicky noted that Concept 3 provides for a combination of park <br /> land and single family development. <br /> Skalicky reviewed Concept 3, which entails a combination of park <br /> land and single family development. She noted that her plan once <br /> again provides for rezoning to R-1A and would allow 5 homes to be <br /> built. She noted that a public road would be constructed to <br /> serve the homes and the park land and this plan would save the <br /> oak knoll . <br /> Wilson noted that the land is zoned 2 acre and asked why it would <br /> not be developed that way. <br /> Skalicky felt that 3-4 homes could only be created and it would <br /> not be cost effective for a developer. She noted that her plan <br /> would have to have sewered provided. <br /> Bradley stated that the staff sketches of development of the site <br /> provided for 4 buildable sites. <br /> Wilson noted that those sketches included filling of the wetland. <br /> 4 <br />
