MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COI�IMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JA.N UARY 2, 1996 <br /> (#5 - Winter Plowing Consideration - Continued) <br /> Flint said the question was whether the Commission should work towards grooming the <br /> trails. White felt the Commission should wait and see what the usage is on the trails. <br /> Gerhardson said there is some resident interest from those along Brown Road. <br /> Gerhardson said he would look into what the options are and at what cost. The Park <br /> Commissioners were asked to inquire of the area residents if they had any interest in trail <br /> grooming. <br /> (#6) COI�TTINUED DISCUSSION OF OPEN SPACE AND PARK PLANNING <br /> PROCESS <br /> Flint asked the Commissioners if they were satisfied with the process description as <br /> outlined in the memo by Ron Moorse. Ilse said the memo characterized where the <br /> Commission was at presently with the goal of a joint work session with the Council. <br /> Wilson agreed with the memo noting the problems pointed out on the current management <br /> plan. Wilson asked why it was determined to discuss the matter with the Council. Flint <br /> said Moorse recommended a general discussion with the Council and the Planning <br /> Comnvssion. Flint agreed to inform Moorse that the Commission was satisfied with the <br /> memo contents at this point. <br /> Ilse askec�the Commissioners for their comrnents on the rough draft of the park plan in <br /> order to redraft the plan. Ilse said she would ask Moorse for assistance in completing a <br /> more formalized draft for the next meeting. Flint noted that the park inventory will be <br /> conducted this summer by a summer intern. Flint asked each Commissioner to get his/her <br /> comments to Ilse as soon as possible in order to have a more definitive draft at tne next <br /> meeting. <br /> Wilson asked what was desired. It was nated that the Commission was replacing and <br /> devising a new park classification system and definition of open space. The definitions, <br /> such as community or neighborhood parks, would be used as a guideline for future <br /> approvals when requests are made concerning establishing or modifying a park. Wilson <br /> asked if the draft should be that specific. Ilse and McDermott said the criteria should be <br /> specific enough to allow the Commission to to have guidelines to approve or deny a <br /> request. <br /> 7 <br />
