In the Preliminary Plat <br />the Trott Brook Trail is not shown to be accessible from Street 0 or County <br />Road 12. Ed Hasek, of Westwood Engineering, says the grading plan will <br />show how the Trott Brook Trail will be accessible from Street O. The Trott <br />Brook Trail connection has been moved further to the East to a point visible <br />from County Road 12 adjacent to a townhouse driveway. This trail ending <br />does not directly connect to County Road 12 and is to be considered <br />temporary. The developer and planning staff concur that a better connection <br />would be to the East of the plat in future development, where the Trott Brook <br />runs closest to the County Road 12 and where the connection is not stuck <br />between townhomes. Eventually, the trail corridor will extend to the East <br />and parallel County Road 12. <br /> <br />Outlot F <br /> <br />Outlot F is being donated to the City, however it is not considered as part of <br />the park dedication. The area is approximately 23 acres of wetland and some <br />upland oak forest. This area may be used as passive recreation, however it is <br />difficult to access. This parcel will require an access corridor for pedestrians <br />and maintenance vehicles (see Phil Hals memo). Creation of an access <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
