MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 27, 2008 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ PAGE 7 of 10 (7. #08-3382 BOB RITTER ON BEHALF OF BERKSHIRE PARTNERS, LLP, 2745 KELLEY PARKWAY, Continued) Turner stated it was the understanding of Staff at the time this was written that the trail would be completed at the time the lot to the east is developed. Bremer commented she would like the trail to be completed at the same time on both lots. Murphy asked what the disadvantage would be if the trail was constructed prior to the other lot being developed. Turner stated they would need to work with the property owner of the other lot on the trail. Murphy noted the Council is in agreement that there should be a trail along Kelly. Bob Ritter stated to his understanding the trail is actually located along Highway 12 and that he does not envision a large number of people utilizing the trail. Murphy stated it was his understanding the trail was going to be along the pond and then up Kelly. Turner illustrated the location of the proposed trail on the overhead. Bremer asked when the location of the trail was determined. Gaffron noted there is a trail that is located on the east side of Crystal Bay Road, a trail that goes along Kelly Parkway, and then a trail alongside the pond, which consists of a trail and a sidewalk next to each other. At the intersection the trail was going to stay along Highway 12, go around the pond, past the bank building, and up to Willow Drive. Bremer stated she would like to leave the language as is and discuss the trail at a later time when they are able to construct the trail along the entire stretch. McMillan stated this is one of the few areas in the City where there is a developed bike trail and that she does not want to see the trail overlooked down the road and not get constructed. Turner stated the language “at a mutually agreeable time” comes from the development agreement with Ryan. Gaffron indicated once the third lot is developed, another portion of the trail could be constructed, and that it would be logical to wait until the trail can be completed in its entirety rather than construct a portion that dead-ends. Murphy moved, White seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5783, a Resolution Granting Final Development Plan Approval for Planned Unit Development No. 3B and Approving the Issuance of a Building Permit for Orono Professional Center II. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. Item #02 - CC Agenda - 11/10/08 Approval of Council Minutes 10/27/08 [Page 7 of 10]
