MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 6, 1995 <br /> (#2B - Park Classification System - Continued) <br /> Flint commented that he saw size as the only difference between #1 mini parks, and #2, <br /> neighborhood parks. McDermott added that there was only a fine line between#2, <br /> neighborhood parks, and #3, community play fields. Ilse remarked that the lack of <br /> specifics could cause problems such as hockey being scheduled at a future Crystal Bay <br /> Park rink when other areas were crowded. Commissioners agreed that the raw materials <br /> were there but further work was needed ta fine tune the classifications. <br /> It was noted that park classification plans from other cities could be gathered from <br /> Gerhardson, Moorse, and Flint. Wilson noted that she had gained alot of information <br /> from Erik Blank of Plymouth. Flint commented that the park use was more intensive in <br /> Plymouth. <br /> A subcommittee, consisting of Ilse as chair, Flint, McDermott, and White will gather <br /> information, look at categories, definitions, reclassifications, and lay out the suggested <br /> classifications. This information will then be relayed to Moorse for further Staff <br /> assignment. Ilse will gather the initial information and set up a meetin�; of the <br /> subcommittee. <br /> (#3) UPDATE ON TRAILS PROGRESS: <br /> A. OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD <br /> Gerhardson reparted that the trail from the Luce Line to the top of the hill north of <br /> Watertown Road is now paved and curbed. The restoration of plantings will occur <br /> in the spring. Flint said there was a need for plantings between the street and the <br /> bike trail to break up the look of the asphalt. <br /> B. BROWN ROAD <br /> Gerhardson said the Brown Road trail is now completed. Flint noted that vandals <br /> have been driving automobiles on the grass strip destroying the grass. Gerhardson <br /> said the City was able to obtain a license number of the vehicle from a neighbor <br /> who viewed the car driving on the grass. This person will be spoken to about <br /> driving on this grass. Gerhardson noted that after speaking with the people who <br /> were taking the retaining walls apart, the problem was stopped. He believes the <br /> same will happen with this incident. <br /> =t <br />
