ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JUNE 14,1999 <br />(#9) #2480 SPRING HILL GOLF CLUB, 725 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH -FmAL <br />PLAT APPROVAL <br />Thomas Crosby was present. <br />Gaflfron said that Spring Hill Golf Club is requesting final plat approval. He said this plat was <br />primarily for the purpose of creating easements over the wetlands and drainage ways of the <br />property. It also resulted in the creation of two outlots. He said the outlots contain mostly <br />wetland areas which have now been delineated and are shown on the plat. Regarding the trail <br />issue, he asked for direction fi-om the Council in reviewing the language of the preliminary plat <br />resolution that has been revised. He asked the Council to review the wording of items 1,2 and <br />8 on page 4 of 6. He noted that the final plat resolution states that all requirements of the trail <br />agreement must be completed. <br />Crosby said that the land south of the plat will be subjected to the conservation easement. He <br />asked if Gaflfron has seen the wetland delineation on that portion of the land. <br />Gafiron said he has not seen it. <br />Crosby said that the City will need the wetland delineation on the separation parcel to attach <br />to the conservation easement. <br />Gafifron said the City would need the description of it. <br />Crosby said the trail has been constructed along Spring Hill. It goes across Co. Rd. 6 and then <br />north on Tamarack where it has been constructed from the intersection to the maintenance <br />shed. It then goes to wetland #12 and it has not been construct^ north of the wetland where <br />Spring Hill would give the City a ten-foot easement. Crosby said that he had hoped that for <br />the portions of the trail that had been constructed and accepted, that the en^e tr^ would <br />have been delineated as a two-foot strip either side of the center line. He said he is concerned <br />about the legal description of the trail because it says everything south of the northerly <br />element of the shaded area is for use for a trail. He said that if the ten feet is not all bemg <br />used, a number of years fi^om now someone could try to move the trail. He ^d that when this <br />project was started, they said they would create a tr^ mutually agreeable within the ten feet <br />next to the right-of-way. He said the trail agreement is a separate document, not on the plat. <br />The way the trail agreement has been drafted is that the legal descripUon of the trail is an <br />exhibit, so that the language of the trail agreement is really t^g the agreement they used at <br />the time of the conditional use permit, throwing out the portions that are no longer relevant <br />and putting it into an easement. He said it is the legal essentials out of a broader, pnor <br />agreement. <br />Barrett said that is the document Crosby provided. <br />Page 12
