CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: LAFAYETTE RIDGE - REQUEST FOR PUBLIC STREET JoEllen Hurr, Sally McCabe, John Larson, and Dennis Burgess, Jr. were present for this request. City Administrator presented a summary of the request for this 5 lot cul -de -sac to be made a public street and that they be given credit for hardcover split between the 5 lots. This subdivision was done between Minnetonka Beach and Orono. In 1978, a private street was made, however in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan it said that anything in the urban area, of which this was part, should be public streets. As far as the hardcover credit, most of the properties in Orono are outside of • 1000' but there are substantial wetlands. This credit could allow them to put hardcover on almost the entire lot because they are in a 35% zone. The City's lot coverage zone may govern this and may not make any difference. JoEllen Hurr spoke representing the people of Lafayette Ridge. They requested action at this meeting rather than tabling. Bernhardson referred to the listing of private streets. John Gerhardson noted the streets that were private within the urban zone including Casco Cove, Church Lane, Herrick Circle, Maple Avenue, Pence Lane, Sugarwoods Dr. and Lafayette Ridge Ct. The only three meeting the City standards are Sugarwoods, Lafayette and Herrick Circle. Acting Mayor Callahan referred to the Urban Transportation Policies, Section 2 noting that it doesn't really say there must be a public road. He asked the residents in attendance what they want to do this for. They felt it was in their interest to have the street taken over by the City because they pay the same taxes as the rest of the constituents. They have successfully done this with the City of Minnetonka Beach and are requesting the same consideration. • Callahan asked if they felt it would be cheaper for the City to take it over. 30
