MINUTES OF THE ORONO <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL, PLANNING COMMISSION, <br />AND PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION <br />Thursday, September 12,2002 <br />5:30 o’clock pm <br />Murphy staled that everyone present this evening needs to recognize that they are going to be <br />under tremendous pressure fiom development, therefore, need to keep focus^ on and buy into <br />the foundation which Orono v'as built, the philosophies within the Comprehensive Plan. He <br />pointed out that this is the onl/ City in which a Highway would run through a trench, not a four <br />lane highway, which in the Ir ng run will help to preserve the Orono philosophy <br />Jabbour challenged those present to consider how they can affect other citizens and persuade <br />them to buy into the philosop. ly. There was a rhyme or reason to the development of this <br />purposeful Comprehensive Plan and that needs to be communicated. <br />FUTURE MEETINGS <br />Mabusth asked if these meetings should be held quarterly. <br />Jabbour noted that Sansevere and Nygard should have been present. <br />McDermott asked if Orono opposed Big Box development in Long Lake as well. <br />Murphy felt that Orono was in an awkward position. White Orono would do everything in their <br />power to keep Long Lake from doing any more than they have to. Long Lake may be forced to <br />do some redevelopment and virtually succumb to some developer pressure. <br />Callahan noted that this has not happened yet. <br />Jabbour reiterated that pressure will mount for development at the Highway 12 and County Road <br />6 interchange as well. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 7:08 P.M. <br />1. lUjL 'I <br />Linda S.
