MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 6, 1995 <br /> C. SIGI�IAGE <br /> Gerhardson said he has met with the signage people who are making the <br /> reeammendations. He will meet with the sub-committee to determine what signs <br /> will be used and whether metal or wood posts are recommended. It was noted <br /> when asked if County signage was looked at for use by the City that there were no <br /> hard or fast rules for County signs. <br /> (#4A) UPDATE ON ffiGHWOOD NATURE TRAIL <br /> Gerhardson reported that 3 or 4 trees were taken out and the rough grading has been <br /> done. The crushed rock and sign are expected to be completed yet this year. Staffwill <br /> wait until spring to place the picnic table in the trail area. <br /> (#4B) UPDATE ON LOWRY WOODS NATURE TRA[L <br /> Gerhardson and Wilson reported on a problem with the easement for Lowry Woods <br /> Nature Trail. At this time, there are two options to explore for access and asked the <br /> Commissioners for their recommendation. <br /> Originally, the Commission was awaiting the sale of one more lot by the developer, <br /> Knapp, in the adjaining subdivision when the roadway would be constructed and access <br /> into the trail area gained. During review of the language regarding use, City Attorney <br /> Barrett said unless the road was m�de � public road, there would�ie n� access to Lowy <br /> Nature TraiL It was noted that the City would have to maintain a public road. Knapp <br /> does not wish the City to use the private road as there is an alternate septic site location <br /> for property in the subdivision. Park Commissioners noted that the access would be <br /> moved to another area. <br /> Another option is to acquire the small corner of land along County Road 84 separating <br /> Lowry VVoods from the raadway. This corner of land is separated from the rest of the <br /> land owned by a neighborhood property (at 4465)by the roadway and is, basically, of no <br /> value to the property owner. This option, however, it would allow access to only the <br /> corner of the trail property. The City would also have to gain at least a 10' easement from <br /> neighboring properties at 4360 or 4440 Bayside Rc�ad. <br /> Wilson asked for Commission comments and reparted it was her desire to outline to the <br /> Cauncil the Commission recommendation and ask Council for direction. <br /> McDermott received confirmation that the development has approval for the private <br /> aceess. <br /> 5 <br />
