MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 6, 1995 <br /> (#2A- Open Space Preservation Plan - Continued) <br /> McDermott felt the questionnaire was helpful but would like to have seen "spaces next to <br /> open spaces" included, i.e. land adjacent to a park. It was noted that there is limited <br /> opportunity for acquiring large blocks of land. <br /> Flint agreed to talk over the concerns of the Commission with City Administrator Moorse <br /> prior to any further steps taken in the process. A work session was also felt to be <br /> desirable before continuing with the next step. <br /> B. PARK CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (SEE ATTACHED lll119.5 MEM(J <br /> FROM CITY ADMINISTRATOR) <br /> Flint said he would like to see the park classification in matrix form. I�e said Moorse <br /> looked at the current Commission management plan, listed the current c1assifications, and <br /> suggested adding Community Parks and Trails or Linear Parks. Flint said the Commission <br /> now needed to decide if these classifications were adequate or if chan�;es needed to be <br /> made. <br /> The Commission members were of the opinion that the first four classifications were <br /> satisfactory as written. Classification #5, nature areas, would serve as descriptions of <br /> French Creek Preserve, Highwood, Lowry Woods, and possible, Saga HiIL McDermott <br /> suggested that #6 would be used to describe such use as an ampitheatre, and City specific, <br /> the golf course. <br /> White suggested removing the word "reserve" from #4 and adding this description to #5. <br /> It was his opinion that #4 referred to Baker Park. <br /> Flint commented that #4 would be a park under which the Park Commission had no <br /> control, while#6, the Commission would have control. Commission members did not <br /> think two area classifications were needed for Baker Park. <br /> It was suggested to add another category, #8, Trails and Linear Parks. <br /> llse said she was not willing to accept the definitions as written but would like to further <br /> investigation other definitions using plans from other cities. She commented that <br /> Bederwood is an example of different uses; French Creek was clearly limited, but <br /> determinatians would be needed if permits were needed for a gathering; and wondered <br /> where Dickey Park would fit in. <br /> 3 <br />
