ORONO PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR MARCH 1, 1999 <br /> (#13) BEDERWOOD <br /> What is the status of the recycling containers? <br /> Gappa stated the recycling containers are in and a recycling company needs to be <br /> contacted to arrange for pickup. <br /> OTHERISSUES <br /> Spring Hill Trails. <br /> Wilson stated a portion of the trail has been completed, but the fence is presently on the <br /> right-of-way. <br /> Gappa stated the fence will need to be moved. Gappa commented a letter has been sent <br /> to the developer regarding the items in question, and that the City still holds a letter of <br /> credit on this project. <br /> Wilson suggested that trail access be considered off of County Road 6 once that road is <br /> improved rather than going down Tamarack. Wilson commented if access is gained off <br /> of Tamarack, a wide shoulder should be constructed due to the high volume of traffic. <br /> STATUS REPORTS: <br /> (#8) Orono Area Athletic Association <br /> This item was not discussed. <br /> (#9) HIGHWAY 12 PROPOSAL <br /> City Council Public Hearing April 8. <br /> McDermott stated the Parks Commission is looking for opportunities to develop trails <br /> or to obtain small parcels of land along Highway 12 now that the boundaries have been <br /> established. The City Council suggested that McDermott meet with the Highway 12 Design <br /> and Review Committee to discuss this issue. <br /> McDermott noted that Orono's trails stop at Long Lake and that some thought should be <br /> given to extending and connecting the trails into Long Lake. McDermott remarked that the <br /> Parks Commission will probably have to pick up the costs for any improvements to these <br /> areas. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Page 2 <br />
