FILE #LA23-000015 <br />April 17, 2023 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />support the creation of the regional trail corridor. <br /> <br />Parks: The Parks, Open Space and Trail Plan chapter of the Orono Comprehensive Plan does not <br />specify the need for a neighborhood park at this location. The site is near Noerenberg Memorial <br />Gardens which is a regional park. As there is no defined need for park land at this location, it <br />would appear that dedication of actual land for park purposes is not required. Absent the need for <br />park land dedication, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land would be appropriate per City <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />Park Dedication: <br />The proposed application is anticipated to pay a park dedication fee in lieu of providing land for <br />the newly created lot. The fee is determined by fair market value of the land being subdivided. <br />The assessor will be consulted to determine the market value of the land for establishing the <br />amount of the fee. <br /> <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Does the Planning Commission have comment on the trail easement? <br />2. Does the Planning Commission have comment on the driveway easement? <br />3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> <br />Planning Staff Recommendation <br />Planning Staff recommends approval of the subdivision with the following additional requirements <br />for final plat: <br />- A Driveway Easement and maintained agreement <br />- Trail easement <br /> <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
