ORONO PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR JANUARY 3, 20d0 <br /> McDermott commented the lighting for the park has been eliminated due to the costs involved. <br /> McDermott suggested at the time the lighting for the parking lot across the street is installed, the <br /> lights could perhaps be installed to shine towards the park somewhat. McDermott noted the lighting <br /> along the pathways would be approximately $15,000, which is too costly. <br /> McDermott requested Gappa rewrite the plan incorporating the Park Commission's comments <br /> relating to the various items for review at their next meeting. <br /> Gappa stated the plan should be ready for review by the City Council at their February meeting. <br /> City Council Representative Peterson stated the City Council should be made aware of the <br /> neighborhood support for this project. <br /> 6. Saga Hill <br /> Boundaries/Property lines, additional survey work 8 signs - cost proposal <br /> Gappa stated the Public Works Department has been working on locating the boundary lines for <br /> this area. Gappa noted not all the property lines have been located at this time. <br /> Silber commented that someone has erected a barbed wire fence in this area. Silber stated this <br /> fence may need to be removed if it is not located on the property line. <br /> Gappa stated he will look into the barbed wire fence. <br /> Silber stated the parking lot and road looks fantastic, noting that people have been using the trails <br /> for walking and skiing this winter. Silber commented the parking lot is well hidden from the <br /> adjoining properties, with only one curb cut being visible into the park. <br /> McDermott stated there has been some discussion about erecting a street sign denoting the road as <br /> Palmer Way or Palmer Drive, and that this item should be brought up at the next City Council <br /> meeting. <br /> Gappa noted that City Council approval would be needed before a street sign can be erected. <br /> Silber suggested dedicating the road at the next Park Commission park tour. <br /> Meyers suggested having a small ribbon cutting ceremony. <br /> Gappa stated the Public Works Department will continue to work on locating the property lines. <br /> Gappa stated signs will eventually be erected along the property lines indicating that it is park <br /> property. <br /> Silber stated once the park boundaries are located, the existing paths will need to be identified to <br /> see whether they should be relocated or additional trails added. <br /> McDermott inquired whether the Park Commission is still going to pursue the citizen survey <br /> regarding what activities they would like to see for this park. <br /> Gappa stated that perhaps the survey could be included in the next City Council packet for their <br /> review and comment. <br /> Page 5 <br />
