MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 5, 1998 <br /> (#3 Bike Routes - Continued) <br /> McDermott felt the list of bike routes with separated trails and widened shoulders <br /> should be maintained only. Wilson felt it was the job of the Commission to flag <br /> bike routes and leave the determination up to the City whether to add cautionary <br /> signs on bike routes before these roads meet the standards. <br /> Wilson suggested the changes be made to the bike trail maps, reviewed, and a <br /> recommendation made at that time to enable the Commission to see the maps in <br /> their final form. Ilse asked that the changes be reflected in the master plan. <br /> Ilse and McDermott suggested the motion be tabled. Wilson disagreed. Welles <br /> felt the speeds should be kept at a minimum and signage encouraged. <br /> The third categary was changed to "Popular Bike Routes" in order to maintain the <br /> list while not designating the roads for widening. <br /> Erickson will provide updated list and map for all Commissioners. Bike Routes <br /> will be discussed again at the February meeting. Wilson will discuss this topic <br /> with Mayor Jabbour and Council Member Flint prior to that meeting to get their <br /> feed back. <br /> The motion was withdrawn. <br /> (#4) SKETCH PLAN (CARPENTER PROPERTY) - GAPPA <br /> Gappa presented a sketch of the plan for the Carpenter Property. He indicated it appears <br /> that the layout of 8 lots is problematic and will most likely result in a lower number of <br /> lots. The Planning Commission will review the sketch plan at their January meeting. <br /> The bike route is currently located on the opposite side of the road from the Carpenter <br /> property. Wilson said she had been opposed to the route location on that side of the road <br /> as the route has to ultimately end up on the same side as the Carpenter property. It is <br /> desired that the route will be added to the Hennepin Parks system. The telephone poles <br /> are located on the west side (Carpenter side), but it was felt that this was not a problem. <br /> Gappa did believe it would cost more to build the route on the Carpenter side. Wilson <br /> noted, however, there were 8 homes that would be affected on the east side while only <br /> three on the west side. White indicated a four-way stop might be necessary; Gappa <br /> agreed. <br /> 5 <br />
