MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 13, 1997 <br />( #25 - Joint Council and Planning Commission Meeting - Continued) <br />Jabbour said it is important for Staff to be participating in the review and acting as a <br />partner in the process before it is reviewed by the Planning Commission. <br />Gaffron said the Planning Commission has not always been comfortable with the Staff <br />having a strong opinion on applications. He acknowledged that the applications should <br />be complete. Gaffron indicated there is a problem with hardcover calculations and the <br />need to recheck what is being submitted by surveyors. <br />Jabbour asked that Staff determine what their opinion is regarding two meetings a <br />month. <br />A work session was scheduled for two possible dates: October 28 at 7:00 p.m. or <br />October 27 at 8:00 a.m. <br />( #26) SELECT DATE AND TIME FOR COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />A work session was scheduled for Friday, October 17 at 8:00 a.m. or Monday, October <br />21 at 8:00 a.m. <br />( #27) SCHEDULING OF A MEETING TO CONSIDER THE ISSUE OF <br />INTERNAL TRAILS IN OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD ADDITION , <br />Moorse asked that closure be brought to the issue of internal trails in the Old Crystal Bay <br />Road Addition. Easements were granted but the trails were never installed. A number <br />of residents have voiced their opinion that the trail plan be eliminated. <br />Jabbour questioned the importance of these trails. He questioned if the City should <br />receive compensation for the trails if they are not constructed. Gappa indicated the City <br />has a $15,000 letter of credit from the developer. It was determined that no park <br />dedication had been received from these trails. <br />Kelley was of the opinion that the trails should be abandoned. <br />Moorse indicated that the trails were not initiated by the City but thought to be an <br />amenity by the original developer and then later dropped. <br />Jabbour said the cul -de -sac and through street should be addressed at the same time as <br />the trail. Kelley agreed. Moorse said it is Staff s opinion that no cul -de -sac be <br />constructed but the right -of -way be maintained for possible future use. Jabbour said if <br />the City wants the road to become public someday, then the road should go through. <br />Jabbour asked for comments from the Park Commission. • <br />28 <br />
