r <br />minutes of the regular orono park commission <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL I, 1996 <br />E <br />draft <br />nse asked Johnson if he had considered constructing a trail to the park land Johnson said <br />he did not believe it would have any bearing on his property as the homeowners could <br />walk there from their own property. It was noted that only one of the properties abut the <br />park property and would, therefore, not be obtainable by the other homeowners. The <br />Commission noted that a trail would be an imcgral part of a good neighborhood. Johnson <br />said the easement was for drainage and utilities. He added that there was only two lots <br />that did not abut the easement area. <br />When asked by McDermott, Flint said the road for the subdivision could be either private <br />or public. <br />nse commented that if Garden Lane was already platted, there would be no need to obtain <br />the trail through the subdivision since access to the park property could be gamed from <br />Garden Lane. Johnson said he was concerned that residems of other areas would drive to <br />the cul-de-sac, park, and then walk to the park property bringing extra traffic to the area, <br />nse said the traU easement being referred to would not present access to the park property <br />itself. <br />Gerhardson asked if the trail easement would extend from the cul-de-sac to the bank park <br />property over the drainage easement. Flint responded that consideration of this option <br />should result in increased value to the lots in the subdivision with access to the park <br />property. <br />Flint noted that a public easement would be included in the calculation tor the 8% Park <br />Dedication, but if the easement was private, it would not. McDermott asked if it was <br />possible to take a portion of the 8% via the easement and the remamder m cash. <br />h <br />i <br />41
