• MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />HELD JUNE 15, 1992 <br />ZONING FILE #1738 - CONT. <br />Linda McGinty, President of the Orono Hockey Association, asked if <br />it would be appropriate to discuss the possibility of using a more <br />southern parcel. She noted that area would provide joint parking <br />with the school. <br />Mabusth stated the City owns that parcel and is the location of the <br />only mature trees on the City property. <br />Peterson asked why they would not wait for a decision on the <br />Highway 12 corridor, as that may impact their decision. <br />Row I ette agreed that it would be appropriate to locate the facility <br />near the school, and agreed with the danger of additional traffic <br />on County Road 6. <br />Peterson said that County Road 6 currently is a traffic nightmare, <br />but traffic should lessen with the completion of 394. <br />Chair Kelley agreed that the City could use a facility such as <br />this, but felt that access onto County Road 6 is too dangerous. <br />• He felt this is a major project and should be treated as such. He <br />suggested a joint meeting with the Council to further discuss the <br />issue. <br />17� <br />Rowlette asked how this building compares in size with the Public <br />Works building being constructed. <br />Mabusth noted they are very similar in size. <br />Goetten added that if Long Lake succeeds with incorporating 400 <br />acres of Orono within its boundaries, this parcel would be <br />affected. <br />Bellows asked if there were time restraints. <br />Halverson said they have been presented with an option to purchase. <br />McGinty noted that the Committee is doing an admirable job. She <br />urged the Commission to consider the proposal with intensity. <br />Callahan said the Council would set a joint meeting date at the <br />next Council meeting. <br />7 <br />
