MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK CQMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 3, 1997 <br /> {#4 -Dickey Property Trails - Continued) <br /> McDermott relayed the events that occurred at the Council meeting where this topic was <br /> discussed. The new residents are not in favor c�f any public trails. Residents did not want <br /> to pay for title searches to determine the status of the trails. McDermott said the maps <br /> available at the Parade of Homes did not indicate the trails, and the developer, who was <br /> required to provide the trails in lieu of Park Dedication funds, did not establish them. The <br /> Park Commissian did make a recommendation in 1996 for trail monuments. McDermott <br /> indicated that there were suppose to be three trails. 4ne was trail was to go north to <br /> Dickey Park, one south to the DNR land, and one east to#he subdivision. <br /> Ilse noted that she was contacted by a neighbor across Watertown Road from this <br /> development, who would like to see the trails constructed and who said she would rally <br /> other neighhors for support. <br /> Wilson asked Gappa ta keep the Park Commission informed regarding any further action. <br /> Gappa indicated the next step wQuld be the scheduled public hearing. <br /> (#5) ANTOINE PARK PROGRESS REPfJRT- BEAL <br /> �appa reported that the building at Antoine Park was reviewed by a structural engineer. <br /> The roof joists ar►d roof on the barn portion were found in need of replacement. The <br /> columns in the open shed area are bent and would require a new roof. There is a common <br /> wall for the barn and garage whicll would need replacement. <br /> McDermatt suggested removing the barn and leaving the open area. Gappa said the <br /> repa� faur�d the barr� and open area were not w�rth restoring. The gara�e area would <br /> require about $10,000 in repair along with other modifications. The cost would increase <br /> to about �14,400 plus demolition of the remaining portion of the building. Gappa <br /> indicated there has been graffiti written on the inside walls indicating a lack of security. <br /> He is also concerned with access to the roof via the nearby trees. <br /> Gappa suggested building an open air gazebo in the park The cost for a 30' diameter <br /> gazebo ��ould be $14,000 plus the $6,504 fQr demolition of the existing buildings. A 40' <br /> diameter gazebo would cost $23,000. <br /> Beal said the concern had been expressed over the change in views of a neighboring <br /> property. This was determined to be unfounded. <br /> Beal said he was concerned with the cost of the play ground equipment and the additional <br /> cost of the gaze�o. He noted the use of the shelter occurred only occasionally. <br /> McDermott suggested refurbishing the open area portion of the barn at a cost af$10,000 <br /> and remova] of the remainder. Beal said he did not see the benefit in savings. <br /> s <br />
