ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 13, 1990 <br />WOODHILL SEWER CONNECTION CONTINUED <br />of this. • <br />Mr. Curt Quady asked if there was any truth to a rumor that <br />the Woodhill Country Club pulled out off Orono because they could <br />not obtain a liquor license. <br />Bernhardson replied, "This portion of the Club House has <br />been located in Wayzata since the early 1920's. The Clue House <br />may have become a part of Wayzata back in the days prior to Orono <br />becoming a Village, when it could not issue liquor licenses." <br />Mr. Quady said, "They left Orono because they could get a <br />liquor license. Now they are asking to hook up to Orono sewer. <br />It seems to me that a situation similar to what is happening with <br />the City of Long Lake may occur." <br />Acting Mayor Callahan said, "I believe that if the City of <br />Orono has an opportunity to do something positive for a <br />neighboring City, we should do what we can to maintain a good <br />relationship. As the Cit- Administrator stated earlier, the City <br />of Orono is currently making use of various utilities from <br />neighboring cities for the benefit of our citizens. The <br />situation with Long Lake became a problem because they came to <br />own the land. That is not an issue in this case." <br />Goetten asked if the "Russell Avenue" /Fox Street lift • <br />station has the capacity to handle this addition. <br />Cook replied, "Staff would have to look at that. If there <br />is any kind of approval, it would have to include a requirement <br />that the Country Club would be responsible for any upgrades that <br />are necessary. The lift station has a finite capacity and we <br />need to determine what that is." <br />Bernhardson asked Council what other issues they would like <br />Staff to address. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan stated that he wants Staff to verify <br />that the Woodhill Country Club is in fact within the M.U.S.A. <br />line. He said, "I would not consider amending the Comprehensive <br />Plan to accommodate this request." <br />Goetten stated that she would like Staff to review the issue <br />of precedent and how similar situations have been handled with <br />neighboring cities in the past. <br />It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan; seconded by Peterson, <br />to table this matter until November 26, 1990, to allow Staff the <br />opportunity to address the concerns raised by Council this <br />evening. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed, <br />- 16 - • <br />
