MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 6, 1997 <br /> (#4F - Park Dedication- Mound - Continued) <br /> Shorewood has a flat $1,000 per lot for subdivision. If there is an existing homestead, a <br /> $1,000 credit is given to the owner towards the subdivision. Erickson said Shorewood is <br /> not developing any new parks. <br /> It was noted that Independence is reviewing building its first park and performing a city- <br /> wide survey. There is a five person park committee but have a more relaxed format. <br /> Bike trail plans have been laid out, and they have indicated they would like to compare <br /> these trails with those of Orono. <br /> G. WHITE - INTERNET <br /> White said he reviewed information over the internet and found park dedication to be <br /> between 5 and 10% with no challenges. <br /> Wilson was informed that none of the cities have changed their fees. Gappa noted the <br /> fees are established as part of the zoning ordinance. <br /> Wilson asked for comments regarding a cap on the fee. McDermott said he felt the <br /> reasoning was unfounded. Ilse said she found no support for such a cap. <br /> (#5 follows the public comment.) <br /> (#12) PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> Lisa Olsen, 3580 Bayside Road, asked to speak with the Commission regarding her <br /> property on Stubbs Bay, which adjoins the City boat dock property. The City has in the <br /> past used their property for dockage. When this came to the awareness of the City, the <br /> dock was moved onto their own property, but people are still using their property to gain <br /> access to the dock and the lakeshore. Some time in the past, gravel was placed on the <br /> property for easier access to the lake. This gravel access is still used and people are being <br /> confrontive to the Olsen's when any attempt to made to impede this access on their <br /> property. They would like to improve relationships but are concerned with the liability <br /> issue and with snowmobilers during the winter months. They are in the process of <br /> riprapping their shoreline to give it a more residential feel as well as pursuing their right <br /> to their own private property. Olsen asked for the advice of the Park Commission. <br /> Wilson clarified the current dock location and problem with access. <br /> Gappa said the problem will have to be reevaluated. He indicated the dock may aid the <br /> existence of the problem. Gappa said people assume the area used for access is on public <br /> property. Gappa noted that the gravel area lines up with the eastern lane, while the City <br /> property is in line with the western lane of the road. <br /> 9 <br />
