MINUTES OF THE ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />THLTISDAY, JANUARY 6, 1994 <br />Putnam stated they would be starting construction by June at the latest. He revised <br />the proposal for the Coffin property and noted that there will be 20 lots. He rcwwed <br />the location of the trail, and commented that trails seem to enhance property value <br />rather than decrease it. He sUted that the subdivision does not lend itself to having'^ A <br />neighborhood park because of the sire 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 in their own <br />back yards. <br />Flint commented that this was one of the frustrations in not ha\ing a fully develo^d <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 detennined <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 Use, seconded by McMillan, to adjourn the meeting of the Park <br />Commission at 10:30 p m.
