ORION OAKS MASTER PLAN UPDATE:
Staff and Commission members, along with the consultants Schmidt Copeland, met
with the Orion Township Board, Planning Commission and Parks Commission for a
planning/work session Tuesday evening, December 1.
The township officials were receptive to what was said; a number of concerns were
raised about serving the residents with day use facilities in the park. We empha-
sized that nothing was "cast in stone" yet and that the Commission is willing
to work with the township.
Schmidt Copeland requested Commission concurrence of the direction for the park
regarding the organizational camping and day use.
Discussion followed.
Moved by Mr. Olsen, supported by Mr. Nelson to authorize the consultants
Schmidt Copeland to proceed with the design concept of Orion Oaks as
a "special population and limited day use" park and that the park be
identified as such on all correspondence and information. Also, the
Commission will seek input from representatives of similar organizations
to obtain advisement and recommendations based on their experience.
