MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 24, 1995 (Mayor /Council Report - Continued) • Hurr commented on the City's failure to prevail in the Lasher Landing issue. The Attorney had suggested the City evaluate what could be done in order to take action on similar properties. Staunton will pass the information on to Barrett for the next Council meeting. • Kelley brought up the complaints of Lord Fletchers on their use of the parking lot by non - employees. Moorse said Lord Fletchers has indicated they are not abusing the privilege and only staff are being shuttled. A complaint two weeks ago was followed up on. Lord Fletchers indicated the Lafayette Club also has a shuttle and could be using the parking lot for their customers. Lord Fletchers said they would check on the situation. Moorse has not heard any further complaints. Jabbour said he had spoken with the assistant manager at the Lafayette Club. He informed her that the parking lot is not to be dominated by any one business. The assistant manager said they had asked and received permission from the police chief and planned on making arrangements with the Minnetonka Center of Arts. Kelley inquired if the residents of Old Beach Road have approached the City of Minnetonka Beach concerning the left turn lane off of CoRd 15. This has not been done. It was further noted that this was not a condition of the road closure. Kelley noted that when the Council asks the Park and Planning Commissions to review a particular issue, it does not mean that changes will be made. He emphasized that a review is a time to evaluate, not necessarily a time to change. Jabbour extended his sympathies to Tom Barrett concerning Tom's father. Jabbour asked that the City respond to the letter from Tom Swanson concerning the lack of Orono representation on the LMCD. Jabbour said it was important to note that Orono is in attendance at the LMCD meetings, and generally the only ones in the audience. Moorse said he will respond with a letter and asking Swanson to call Jabbour. Callahan inquired of a letter from the U.S. Post Office. Moorse said there is a need for a new facility in the southern portion of the metro area, and is proposing a southwestern site. It is not located in this specific area. 7
