MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELL ON NOVEMBER 27, 19 905 <br />( #1 - Assessment Hearing - Willow Drive North - Continued) <br />• <br />Jabbour repeated for Otten's benefit the reason why certain improvements were made to <br />the road due to the commercial properties. Jabbour said certain parts of the road were <br />done at City cost, and the only portion assessed to these two commercial properties were <br />costs directly related to their use. Gustafson reiterated the project included two through <br />lanes, a right turn lane into the Otten property, and a south bound left turn lane. These <br />improvements were designed for the intense usage from these businesses. The road is a <br />collector road and was improved to handle year round truck traffic and increased <br />commercial traffic. <br />Otten responded that the road was built for more traffic but not just because of his <br />business. He gave an example of the high traffic levels into the Long Lake Bank but that <br />road does not go anywhere. Willow, on the other hand, is a connecting street from Long <br />Lake to Medina. Kelley noted that if the other commercial property gets developed, <br />additional traffic will occur. Kelley said the main issue is the need for the road <br />improvements because of more commercial use. It was further noted that the heavier use <br />of this intersection resulted in the stoplight being installed. Otten said the stoplight was <br />needed before the commercial development occurred. Callahan commented that the <br />reason Otten located his property at this location is because it is a commercial area. <br />Otten responded that he was paying plenty already to be at this location. <br />• Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution #3642 adopting the assessment <br />roll for the Willow Drive improvement project.
