MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING CO\L\!ISSION MEETLNG <br />HELD OCTOBER 18, 1993 <br />(#10) #1877 TANDEM PROPERTIES/PETER ANDREA COMPANY - CONT. <br />Deanovic thought that it could be maintained privately after talking with Pat Dickey. Although <br />the barn would be desirable to use, it would be more expensive. Smith would like to the see <br />the bam kept at least in its present condition. <br />Putnam commented that there w'ere other considerations for the bam site. Parking has been a <br />problem for users of the Luce Line and this site could be a possibility to provide parking and <br />some use of the bam. <br />Smith asked if the DNR would be interested in working on the trail idea connecting to the Luce <br />Line. Putnam stated that as a regional trail, this would not meet the criteria but as an offshoot <br />for the municipality it would make a lot of sense. <br />Smith asked if the designated trails were on outlots so they could be converted to roads if that <br />was ever desired. Putnam responded that discussions had taken place with agencies such as the <br />Fish and Wildlife Department and Corps of Engineers to create a drainage system of creeks and <br />ponds that do not currently exist. The trail would be 25-30 ’ wide and publicly dedicated but not <br />a road. <br />Smith asked if the location where the sweat lodges are could be protected. Putnam responded <br />that there is no significance to where they are placed, that was just the most convenient location. <br />Putnam stated that as developers they would like to tr> to create a path so that everyone benefits <br />but if the City says that path has to be subtracted from the 2-acre lot area, it may not be <br />worthwhile. For the person owning a lot and selling, it may be better not to have the trail. <br />However, for the benefit of the whole area, a trail makes a lot of sense. <br />Schroeder asked the status of the trail along Old Crystal Bay Road. Gaffron thought things had <br />come to a halt and did not know how the agreements with the property owners along the trail <br />had turned out. Money continues to be a problem. <br />Peterson asked what the feelings were about the possible choice of a southern corridor for <br />Highway 12 as it would greatly impact their property. Putnam felt there was some risk but <br />added that development could discourage this route as the final choice. <br />Peterson stated that the proposal looks good but has a concern with the wetland issues. How <br />will it be handled if there is no septic site available on some of the lots and how will the lots be <br />designed since there are wetlands scattered throughout the property?
