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