MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL 1,1996 <br />D <br />DRAFT <br />Flint, as well as McDennott and White, saw the approach on Wildhurst as being very <br />difficult for travd. Flint said he did not object to obtaining the 8% of land for Park <br />Dedication but did not view the access considered as the best access. <br />A consideration discussed was obtaining a pedestrian easement over the e?dsting drainage <br />and utility easernem. Use said she would need to obtain some sense of where the Saga Hill <br />Group were in realizing the funds necessary to purchase the bank property in order to <br />consider such an easement. Use noted that if the group were unable to purchase the bank <br />property, there would be no need to gain this easement as it leads to the bank property and <br />not to the park property in process of being owned by the City. Stefanson said the group <br />has raised about 1/3 of the necessary funds. It was noted that this amount includes the <br />grant portion. <br />McDermott inquired if the grant included a stipulation that the bank property be turned <br />over to the City as park land. The answer was unknown by any present. The City is <br />assisting in obtaining the grant money for the group by their application for the grant. The <br />grant money does go to the City. <br />Stefoison inquired if the Park Dedication money which could be obtained firom this <br />subdivision could be donated towards the purchase of the bank property. He was <br />informed by Flint that such a recommendation could be made. However, Flint said the <br />Saga Hill group was informed that they were responsible for raising the necessary funds. <br />Flint said if the group came close to raising the necessary amount, there was the possibility <br />that the City may consider such an option. <br />M
