r <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 5,1998 <br />(#3 Bike Routes - Continued) <br />McDermott felt the list of bike routes with separated trails and widened shoulders <br />should be maintained only. Wilson felt it was the job of the Commission to flag <br />bike routes and leave the detemunav.^n up to the City whether to add cautionary <br />signs on bike routes before these roads me<;t the standards. <br />Wilson suggested the changes be made to the bike trail maps, reviewed, and a <br />recommendation made at that time to enable the Commission to ^ee the maps in <br />their final form. Use asked that tne changes be reflected in the master plan. <br />Use and McDermott suggested the motion be tabled. Wilson disagreed. WeUes <br />felt the speeds should be kept at a minimum and signage encouraged. <br />The thkd category was changed to "Popular Bike Routes" in order to maintain the <br />list while not designating the roads for widening. <br />Erickson will provide updated list and map for all Commissioners. Bike Routes <br />will be discussed again at the Februar>- meeting. Wilson will discuss this topic <br />with Mayor Jabbour and Council Member Flint prior to that meeting to get their <br />feed back. <br />The motion was withdrawn. <br />(U4) SKETCH PLAN (CARPENTER PROPERTY) - GAPPA <br />Gappa presented a sketch of the plan for the Carpenter Property. He indicated it appears <br />that the layout of 8 lots is problematic and will most likely result in a lower number of <br />lots. The Planning Commission will review the sketch plan at their January meeting. <br />The bike route is currently located on the opposite side of the road from the Carpenter <br />property. Wilson said she had been opposed to the route location on that side of the road <br />as the route has to ultimaiely end up on the same .side as the Carpenter property. It is <br />desired that the route will be added to the Hennepin Parks system. The telephone poles <br />are located on the west side (Carpenter side), but it was felt that this was not a problem. <br />Gappa did believe it would cost more to build the route on the Carpenter side. Wilson <br />noted, however, there were 8 homes that would be affected on the east side while only <br />three on the wes* side. White indicated a four-way stop might be necessary; Gappa <br />agreed.
