MINLTES OF TIIE ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1994 <br />Putnam stated they ^^*ouId be starting construction by June at the latest. He renewed <br />the proposal for the Coffin propert>' and noted that there \wll be 20 lots. He reviewed <br />the location of the trail, and commented that trails seem to enhance property value <br />rather than decrease it. He stated that the subdivision does not lend itself to having a' <br />neighborhood park because of the size of the lots. Discussion ensued regarding the type <br />of neighborhood park the Commission had in mind, and it was concluded that the type <br />of facilities and play structures were usually provided by individual families m their own <br />back yards. <br />Flint commented that this was one of the frustrations in not having a fully developed <br />Park Plan in effect, and it was difficult to determine what the area needs were when <br />developments such as the one they were discussing were considered. The Park <br />Commission concluded that Park Dedication Funds were the best option in this instance <br />for park dedication requirements for the Coffin property. These will be determined <br />based on the appraised value of the land. The possibility of the historical site becoming <br />ratified were discussed. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />It was moved by I’se, seconded by McMillan, to adjourn the meeting of the Park <br />Commission at 10:30 p.m. Ayes 6, nays 0. <br />Richard N.
