ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 13,1999 <br />(»6) U2522 BANCOR GROUP, INC - Continued <br />Gappa said the water is close to the southwest comer of the property because it comes off the <br />water tower, goes east, then down the east boundary line of Public Works. Gappa said the <br />water would be $5,810 per unit for the connection charge. That does not include running the <br />water line. <br />Flint said it sounds like the Council members are in favor of public water. He asked if the trail <br />will be constructed as part of the subdivision. <br />Newman stud they are willing to put the trail in if they get the credit for that against their Park <br />Dedication fees. <br />Flint said he would have to check to see what the City did on the Dickey property. <br />Newman said he would expect to have a credit for the construction cost of the trail. <br />Jabbour said the homeowners should be told that the City does not plow trails. <br />Kelley asked about their plans to screen the lots on the west side from the new school where <br />there will be baseball and soccer fields. <br />Newman said they are planning to leave it open because there is a buffer zone there. The <br />homeowners will probably do extensive landscaping. Their covenants require approval of the <br />landscaping plans. <br />Kelley said if the road is public instead of private, other people would have a right to use the <br />road to get to the trails. <br />Newman said they are showing a trail connection there. He assumes that if the trail is paid for <br />with Park Dedication funds, it would be a public trail. <br />Jabbour said that Kelley is saying that people would not have the right to be on the road to get <br />10 the trail if it isn’t a public road. He said the City should take an easement over the road too. <br />Kelley said he wants to make sure because if he lived on the east side of Willow Road in <br />Shadowood, his direct line to the baseball field would be through this development. <br />Newman said there is another trail connection through Outlot A. <br />Kelley said that kids from Shadowood are going to come across the street, into the private <br />road and down the public easement into the school. <br />Jabbour said there should be some language giving them the right to do that. <br />Page 23
