He feels the property should <br />perhaps be developed as residential. By setting the ..and as- e, <br />the City is basically expending money, perhaps not on the type of <br />park Orono residents wish to see. He also felt that other City <br />p^]^ks were underutilised and not appreciated much by the <br />residents so why set a.'“'de more land and take off the tax roles. <br />He felt that perhaps the County should be c.hallenged to do <br />something with the property directly across from Noerenberg Park. <br />Bradley felt that a study should be done. He also felt the <br />possibility exists to detour the bike/hike trail through the <br />property. He felt that with pending subdivisions in the area, <br />there is less land available for habitat. <br />Kokal noted he felt unprepared at this point to make a <br />determination. He felt that there is plenty of land for <br />wildlife, and was not sure of the buildability of the property, <br />the water quality. He likes the concept of walk areas and some <br />homes developed.
