REGULAR NiEETING OF THE ORONO COUPICIL, AUGUST 29, 1978 Page 12 I think that we all agree that the property has WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB soMe very unique features which �akes it difficult (Continued) to develop on a standard which have been previausly adopted by the City of Orono. If in reviewing the proposal, the City Council can suggest any alternative proce�ures to f�llow, they certainly would be more than welcome. Thank you very much for your consideration in this matter.

This portion of the land is that part of the property which is on the sar.�e elevation as the park land previously conveyed. It would appear that the appropriate procedure would be to deed off this portion of the land so that all of the property on the sar.ie elevation would be held by the City for park, recreation, and open space conservation purposes, and that the upper level of property go with the hoine.

It is suggested that the most efficient and least expensive means of accomplishing the addition of this land to the park land being dedicated is for � the City to waive the requirements of the subdivision ordinances in this particular instance, and accept a deed in accordance with a description that would correspond with the natural geography of the area. The divided property would then be combined with the park property. (Continued)
