MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 5, 1998 <br /> (#4 Carpenter Property Sketch Plan - Continued) <br /> Wilson agreed that the route location cannot be determined at this time. McDermott said <br /> the entire roadway should be reviewed in order to make the decision. <br /> The Park Commission would like to recommend the consideration of whether the route <br /> would be more appropriate on the west side before any decision is made due to the <br /> possible problems existing for a bike route on the east side. All Commissioners agreed. <br /> (#5) REPORT OF WHITEHEAD PARK DEDICATION - GAPPA <br /> Gappa reported that the park dedication for the two-lot Whitehead subdivision was <br /> $7,000. <br /> (A short recess occurred.) <br /> (#6) REVIEW AND AMEND TWO YEAR PLAN <br /> It was noted that the master plan is basically completed and will be presented this spring <br /> to the Council. It will be reviewed with Mayor Jabbour. <br /> Gappa reported that the development is the northern portion of Saga Hill is not being <br /> pursued at this time. The developer is in the process of determining the economics of <br /> developing the southern portion. Wilson reported that the Park Commission had not <br /> received all vital information when the recommendation was made to take money instead <br /> of land for the southern development. The Planning Commission decided to take land <br /> based on the information they were provided. Wilson informed Staff that the Park <br /> Commission needs to be provided with all infarmation in the future in order to make their <br /> recommendations. McDermott asked if the Commission needs to consider access to the <br /> park land. Gappa indicated that they need to wait to determine what development takes <br /> place. <br /> It was reported that the developer of Spring Hill Golf Course is determining whether a <br /> direct agreement can be reached between the County and themselves without involving <br /> the City for construction of the tunnel under County Road 6. No agreement has been <br /> reached. <br /> Gappa reported that the bike route to Baker Park will be completed by the County in <br /> 1998. Hennepin Parks is in possession of the plans and are putting together bids at this <br /> time. An agreement for future�naintenance will be necessary, but Hennepin County is <br /> taking over all of the development according to Gappa. Wilson asked that Gappa follow <br /> through to see that the bike route is completed. <br /> 7 <br />
