MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 4, 1996 (#6 - Work Session Follow Up - Continued) The CoRd 6 improvement project was also discussed at the work session. Flint said that the trail will not be a separated trail. He said that the way the costs were presented and the system designed by the County Highway Department gave the City Council little choice but to accept the County'.s recommendations. In the future, we need to take a stand in favor of a separated bike trail at an earlier stage in the proceedings. McDermott said that the homes were located back on the properties allowing room for a separated bike path. (#7) FOLLOW-UP ON WORK BY CITY EXTERN, MICHAEL SCHULTZ Flint reported that the comments made by the Commissioners has not yet been reviewed and incorporated by Schultz. Recommendations for each park will be separated from the main portion of the park inventory since these will be updated annually. Flint said the Lee Carlson ball fields will be added to the inventory list, along with pages numbers. A comprehensive park map will be included in the package with corresponding numbers to the inventory for easy cross reference. A map showing the bike trail will designate by color what has been completed and where easements have been acquired. Use voiced concern with the lack of notation of directions given by Pat Dickey with respect to the park on the former Dickey property. It was determined that the past minutes of the Council would have to be reviewed. The developer, Mr. Putnam, also may have information regarding conditions and restrictions. Use said she will call Putnam. Flint said he received a call from a potential buyer of property in the area regarding what type of park would be built. He noted that the park is listed under the conservation/nature area in the inventory. Flint questioned where the information came from noting that the "property deeded is open space and not necessarily park land". Use said she would like to honor the wishes made by Dickey whether they are in writing or not. Flint asked that the recommendations for the park be rewritten under the comment section. i#S) PARK MASTER PLAN FOLLOW-UP: The various committees appointed to folow up on the work session with the City Council and their reports were as follows;
