r <br />L <br />MINUTES OT THE REGULAR ORONO CIT\’ COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 28. 1994 <br />(Saga Hill Tax Forfeit Property - Continued) <br />Moorsc reported that the potential development talks between the City and Bridgewood <br />occurred at the same time as the tax forfeit parcel was under consideration for <br />. acquisition. Staffs thinking during discussions with Bridgewood was that if there was to <br />be residential development in the area, it is wise to see where the best location would be <br />for a park. It made sense to keep all options open in terms of parkland vs. residential <br />development. Moorse said some kind of land swap might be a viable alternative if the <br />Council feels the area should have some type of residential development. <br />Kell^ said he is a supporter of parkland and feds it is best to preserve land where we <br />c.m <br />Hurr also voiced her support of parkland, Hurr also supported the Valek's *m their effort <br />to add the additional one-half acre to their property and would like to see the easement <br />access moved to the side of the Valek property. <br />Mayor Callahan asked whether any additional action needed to be taken by the Council. <br />Moorse said a new resolution would need to be adopted. <br />Callahan commented that all concerned feel the Valek’s should acquire the specified land. <br />He noted the need to be sensitive to propert}' owners with land to be developed in that <br />area. It was his opinion that the Park and Planning Commissions be involved in the study <br />of a plan for the area. The other Council members did not feel a study %vas necessary at <br />this time, only the acquisition of the parcel. <br />During discussion, several neighbors in the Saga Hill area expressed their views on <br />favoring the land as parkland. <br />Callahan moved, Hurr seconded, to reaffirm the acquisition of 9.5 acres by the City, <br />working with the County and the Valek's on the appropriate land amount to be adjoined <br />to the Valek property, and obtaining an easement firom the Valek's to have access to the <br />parcel.
