The plat would need access <br />from the proposed Orono Parkway and the developer would still contribute <br />approximately 20% or $30.00/foot for Orono Parkway even though the residential <br />part of the plat would not be constructed along the parkway. Jay indicated that <br />the developers are proposing that this tree area would meet its park dedication <br />requirements for the approximately 120 acres of residential property that is under <br />their control. <br /> <br />The City Administrator indicated that it was staff's position that in addition to the <br />7.5 acres of tree property, the developer also needs to dedicate 3 acres of land <br />south of County Road #30 for an active park area. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson and Commissioner Dana Anderson concurred that park land is <br />needed south of County Road #30 in the future residential phase and that this <br />park should be near Joplin Street and should be flat, open land for recreational <br />use. <br />
