minutes of the regular orono park commission <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 6, 1997 <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________^ <br />Welles asked Waters how the ravine would be factored into the subdivision. Waters said a ^ <br />amount of the ravine would be required for frontage for a private lot, which requires 144' <br />width, but the ravine would have an easement running across it. Waters said with the <br />additional land grouped together for a .59 acre total, the land would be contiguous to the <br />park land by the ravine through Park Dedication and by easement. Waters said it would <br />require a combination of both cash and land to meet the required ratio. He is concerned, <br />however, with decreasing the Mze of the adjoining lot. <br />McDermott questioned the purpose of the casement. Gappa indicated that the drainage <br />cannot be altered but felt the easement should be made more restrictive, especially in <br />regards to trees. <br />Wilson said she was concerned with the idea of monitoring what would be a backyard <br />easement. Gappa said the park land also runs into the lot. <br />Waters noted that Garden Lane was not being vacated at this time. <br />Gappa reported that Parcel 3 was in private ownership and would require access from <br />Garden Lane. Access from Wildhurst would be difficult with the steep terrain. <br />Wilson did not favor taking land on the side of Garden Lane. <br />Welles indicated that it would be difficult to develop this area anyways with the ravine at <br />that location. Wilson agreed that the ravine cannot be built on. McDermott indicated that <br />the ravine could be changed visually, however, through removal of trees as an example.
