MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO TRUTH-IN-TAXATION/CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,December 10,2018 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Dankey stated she would agree with that also because of the fact that she does not have any neighbors that <br /> can see straight out of the side of their house to the lake. Dankey stated in her view it is back far enough <br /> for sightlines on both sides but that she does not agree with the bump-out and that the applicants should <br /> stay within the yellow line. <br /> Crosby stated it looks to be about a 10-foot difference. Feel this is reasonable because it is a true corner <br /> to corner. The intent of the code is about sight and vision. <br /> Seals stated she does see it as a practical difficulty and that the reason the City Council previously <br /> approved the lot was because it was conforming. Seals commented it is kind of ironic that even given the <br /> yellow line,the applicant went past that. If the code is bad, it should be changed,but right now the code <br /> is what it is. <br /> Dankey seconded. VOTE: Ayes 2,Nays 1,Crosby abstained. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Seals reported the tree lighting ceremony at the Orono Golf Course was a real fun event and that a <br /> number of local businesses donated items. Seals stated she heard from some residents that they wished <br /> they had known about it and that someone had an idea about lighting up the hill and having a tow rope. <br /> Crosby agreed the tree lighting ceremony was outstanding and that it was great the community came <br /> together for that event. <br /> Crosby noted the City now has an ice-skating rink at Crystal Bay Park and that in his view it is a terrific <br /> use of the park. <br /> Seals commented she was surprised at the number of people who texted her asking about the ice-skating <br /> rink and that it appears the residents are interested in using it. � <br /> Walsh stated he also received a couple of comments about the rink. <br /> Rief noted the rink has been reflooded but that he is not sure if it is ready yet. <br /> Dankey stated she has enjoyed serving on the City Council for the last couple of years and that she <br /> appreciates the work everyone on the Council has done. <br /> Walsh thanked Dankey for her work on the Council on behalf of the City. <br /> Walsh stated he would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. <br /> Walsh thanked Council Member Seals and the Park Commission for the geat job they did in organizing <br /> the tree lighting ceremony. <br /> Walsh reported he attended his first Orono dance team competition in Fridley.
