MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Tuesday,November 12,2019 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Barnhart did not believe it would. <br /> Johnson wondered if there would be a real risk of being a redevelopment there. <br /> Barnhart did not think so. <br /> Walsh offered that it would be two parcels but they would have a little extra width and depth. <br /> Johnson asked,that being the case,what the benefit was of having the cul-de-sac in that location versus <br /> pushing it farther into the back end of the easement and then having a trail coming off the cul-de-sac. <br /> Barnhart stated there was no incentive for the applicant to do that and the City would have to acquire <br /> additional land. <br /> Johnson stated a hammerhead would be another choice that would fit there. <br /> Barnhart agreed a hammerhead would be another choice. <br /> Johnson asked whether the cul-de-sac was a City expense. <br /> Barnhart said the plan would be to pave this section as part of next year's project,and used the map to <br /> indicate the portion that would be paved if the Council grants a vacation. <br /> Johnson clarified that the City would also create a cul-de-sac. <br /> Barnhart confirmed that a cul-de-sac would be created. <br /> Johnson asked if creating a cul-de-sac was an increase of expense as opposed to paving more. <br /> Rief responded, square footage-wise,with the development at the end of the hammerhead, it would be <br /> pretty much an even wash or even less cost to the City. <br /> Crosby asked what the connection would be to the trail. <br /> Barnhart stated it would depend on what the Council decided but thought there would be an easement. <br /> Walsh said that would be determined,but there needs to be a trail to connect to where the existing log <br /> trail is currently. That would have to get plotted out. <br /> Johnson said what is being proposed is pretty unreasonable for two reasons: 1)Going over to Orono <br /> Orchard,you're going on a busier road; 2)A new property owner,whomever that is,now has a trail going <br /> by their house. <br /> Walsh agreed and said to get rid of the one being proposed there,it is not needed. <br /> Crosby clarified he was talking about the one to the Luce Line. <br /> Page 4 of 17 <br />
