He said the land is unbuildable and should not be expensive to purchase. <br /> McDernlott inquired about the triangular piece of land between Lowry Woods and CoRd <br /> 83 which is being considered for access to Lawry Woods. Gerhardson said the land has <br /> recentty changed hands. A neighbor was given the first right to purchase. The new owner <br /> will be notifying Gerhardson soon regarding his interest in allowing the City access. <br /> 5) Wiison noted a nearby 23 acre parcel owned by Mr. Melrose which she felt should be <br /> added to the list. <br /> NorEheast Quadrant of the City - <br /> 6) b4 acre parcel east of the schools at Willow and CoRd 6 - Wilson said this property <br /> should be considered far a community park as it is near the schools, level, and easy to <br /> access. McDertnott felt the property was further away from the concentration and center <br /> of the population. Flint inquired about the terrain and noted a past application for <br /> subdivision of this property which was withdrawn at�er Council's denial of a dense <br /> subdivision. Wilson noted that the City would not require the entire parcel for the <br /> community play field. <br /> Flint suggested other possibilities near Hwy l 2 noting the loss of Holbrook with the new <br /> Hwy 12 Corridor and the need for park mitigation as a result. He asked that the <br /> committee look at the population and surrounding cities as a whole in determining what <br /> makes sense regarding the community play field location. McDermatt said he was <br /> concerned that organizations would ask what Orono is providing if the play field was <br /> located in Long Lake. Wilson indicated anather large parcel by Lake Classen but said it <br /> would not be as desirable. <br /> 7) 14 acres north of French Creek Preserve- Wilson suggested a portion of the <br /> property directly north of the preserve should be obtained to develap a buffer for the <br /> preserve and to allow animals to pass. <br /> 8) Hackberry tot - Wilson noted this residential lot is located within the configuration of <br /> the park and should be purchased when it becomes available. <br /> 3 <br />
