MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 23, 1998. <br />( #13 - #2341 Daniel Anderson - Continued) • <br />Flint said he and Kellogg had come to opposite conclusions, noting the wetlands beyond <br />the Carpenter property and the utility poles. The trail can run behind the poles on the <br />Carpenter property. <br />Cook said both sides would be affected. What turned his viewpoint is the park property <br />and easement acquisition potential. Including the park property and the easement from <br />this plat, 1/2 of the distance between the Luce Line and CoRd 51 is accounted for. <br />Jabbour noted the dangerous intersection at Fox Street. He felt it would be best to cross <br />Fox Street on the west side instead of on the east side. Jabbour said he would also not <br />support taking any right -of -way from the yards of property owners to expand the trail. <br />He does not see this as a "must have" trail project. He concurred with Flint regarding not <br />taking the easement from the Anderson property. Jabbour felt it would be distasteful to <br />cut the hill down and build retaining walls. He noted the City already has a trail on the <br />other side of the road. Jabbour said if the trail is developed, it should be built on the <br />right -of -way. <br />Jabbour indicated the park dedication fee cap is $5,000 per lot. <br />Bridget Hust referenced a letter sent on behalf of her parents who own 820 Old Crystal <br />Bay Road. Her letter concurs with Tom Kellogg's comments regarding the trail being <br />dangerous. She said she is baffled by the Council's comments and thought they would <br />listen to the Planning Commission recommendation for the easement. <br />Gaffron indicated that a resolution for preliminary plat approval will be presented at the <br />April 13 meeting. <br />Flint questioned granting conceptual approval without specific detail. Jabbour reiterated <br />for Flint that the lot configuration will be as proposed. The septic sites will be protected. <br />The difference is in regards to the road and additional protection of Lot 5. Jabbour <br />informed the applicant that the Council supported the plan as presented with the <br />additional protection on Lot 5. <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to table Application #2341. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Bridget Hust requested that someone meet with her parents to inform them how the <br />French Creek trail occurred. Jabbour said he would be happy to do so and asked that the <br />Hust's contact him. <br />0 <br />20 <br />
