ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR APRIL 3, 1995 <br /> (Discussion of Proposed Development near French Creek Preserve - <br /> Continued) <br /> of the property we will forever lose that option. In terms of our <br /> own planning I can show you where the City has conceptually <br /> approved a bike trail . There is one down Old Crystal Bay Roade <br /> Construction along the south portion from the Luce Line to <br /> Noerenberg has not been a high priority. "We couldn' t even put <br /> one in front of your house because we don' t have an easement . If <br /> you sometime divided your property in the future, we could ask for <br /> an easement at that time, but we just can' t put a bike trail on <br /> your property without your consent . " <br /> He said what the Commission would be addressing later on is the <br /> question of whether it should take 15' less on the east, in order <br /> to be able to take 15' on the west for a possible future bike <br /> trail . <br /> Mrs . Hust, felt that if we take Plan B, this is an extremely <br /> heavily wooded piece of property, and if we don' t make Melamed give <br /> the buffer zone around the outside, it is so heavily wooded these <br /> people are going to be protected anyhow. She thought the City was <br /> better off taking a chunk of land on the east side of the plat <br /> because the buffer zone is already there . <br /> Melamed stated as long as the buffer zone is going to be there on <br /> the west anyway the trees are going to stay. <br /> Flint stated, as Mabusth was saying, that will have to be imposed <br /> as a condition of not putting a central road in there . The buffer <br /> zone area shown on Plan A on the north, west and south will be <br /> there anyway. <br /> Melamed suggested maybe the answer was to have a 50' buffer on the <br /> east side and have an engineer measure whatever is left over and <br /> use it all along Old Crystal Bay Road, so you have both buffer zone <br /> areas . If you do it by Park Dedication the only buffer zone you <br /> will have is on the north between us and Art Ellis and the property <br /> lot lines . <br /> Flint stated that from the standpoint of the Park Commission there <br /> were three matters to consider: <br /> l . If we want to make a recommendation to the City Council <br /> with respect to the development of Lot 4 . <br /> 2 . Do we want to take land or money. <br /> 3 . Do we want to reduce the amount we are taking on the east <br /> side in order to take some area for a bike trail on the west . <br /> Wilson, agreed. <br /> 6 <br />
