MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 18, 1988 <br />BIKE/HIKE TRAIL - CONTINUED <br />along Highway 12 and Highway 6 and connect up. to Baker Park. Hanson would <br />recommend that they look at choosing a primary trail, "The Orono Bike/Hike <br />Trail". <br />Mr. Kost believes it will be necessary to get some public opinion on <br />this matter. Perhaps the Planning Commission and the Park Commission could <br />have a joint meeting, or perhaps the Planning Commission could handle it. <br />The Park Commission does not feel they should decide where the primary <br />bike/hike routes should be located. Cohen does not believe the Planning <br />Commission has the authority. Brown does not believe that portioning off a <br />section of road and calling it a bike trail is a safe solution. Kelley <br />said that he sees more bikers on Fox Street than any other Street. <br />Believes that would be a prime corridor to upgrade for the bike trail. The <br />Luce Line was discussed as a possibility. <br />Mr. Kost said that the proposed trail would be a project that the Park <br />Commissioners would work on over the winter months. They want to keep the <br />City apprised and will try to get a pi;n to present to the citizens of <br />Orono. They will then resubmit the plan to the Planning Commission and ask <br />them to make a recommendation to the Council. Kelley stated that there <br />should be a focus on the school area. Mr. Kost thought this would work <br />into the Highway 12 Corridor Study since the zoning ordinances are coming <br />up for review. If the Park Commission could have a plan it tact to <br />present, they could perhaps get a separated trail on the north side of <br />Highway 12 from the School into Long Lake. Kelley suggested that the <br />north/south trail be Old Crystal Bay Road. 'hey have had specific requests <br />concerning a trail to Baker Park. Everyone agreed that this would be a <br />great idea. <br />PPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />It was moved by Cohen, seconded by Hanson, to approve the Minutes of <br />the June 20, 1988 Planning Commission meeting as submitted.
