MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,January 21,2020 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gettman asked if there have been any contentious issues on any of the trail access upgrades. <br /> Barnhart said he is not aware of any. <br /> Barnhart stated the 6Smith issue would not be at this level of a priority because these are more <br /> regional/subregional trails and 6Smith is more a neighborhood level trail. <br /> Barnhart pointed out that just because a trail is not on the list does not mean it cannot be implemented at <br /> any time. These are the trails the Park Commission wants to focus their planning and their resource <br /> dollars on,but they can address other needs as necessary. <br /> Gettman clarified that he was asking if there were issues surrounding trails the Planning Commission has <br /> already dealt with. <br /> Barnhart responded that he did not think so. <br /> Erikson complimented the Park Commission on their updating of priorities. He believes it is well thought <br /> out. His particular favorites are the north-south connections connecting Dakota and Luce Line. People <br /> generally consider that the ideal transportation system is a grid which offers east-west movements and <br /> north-south movements, although Lake Minnetonka limits north-south movements quite a bit. A lot of the <br /> trails are east-west more so than north-south.The City has an opportunity to create or improve trails,and <br /> that will improve the function. <br /> Vice-Chair Erickson opened the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments relating to this application. <br /> Vice-Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. <br /> McCutcheon moved,Gettman seconded,to approve LA19-000099 City of Orono Comprehensive <br /> Plan Amendment Related to Trail Priorities.VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> 7.
