l <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS • <br />No member of the Planning Commission was present. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Steve Fames, owner of Deering Island on Lake Minnetonka, reported his concern over <br />the erosion of land on the island. According to maps and aerial photography, 130' of <br />lowland has been lost since 1913. It felt the problem was not caused naturally but by <br />boat wake waves washing over the land. The Council was asked to support his effort to <br />convince the LMCD to approve a quiet water zone to slow the traffic down. Fames said <br />rip rap is only a stop -gap measure and works only in low water level times. Jabbour said <br />high water is going to be the rule rather than the exception and quiet water zones push <br />boats into other channels which then concentrates the traffic. Jabbour informed Fames of <br />the l 50' no -wake zone around the island which should be to his benefit. Mayor Callahan <br />said the Council has no jurisdiction in this matter to assist Mr_ Fames. <br />POLICE CHIEF REPORT <br />Chief Sullivan said the August monthly report reflects a busier year. A breakdown will <br />be available at the end of September. <br />Sullivan requested the opportunity to provide an internship for Coney Farnick beginning <br />in December. The intern would work with investigators and staff to assist in clerical and <br />statistical work. The hours involved would depend on the college schedule. Farnick <br />would also be able to ride along with the patrol officers. The Council indicated support <br />for the internship. <br />An emergency exercise is going to be conducted on Saturday, 10/1/94. There will be <br />simultaneous catastropHes happening (simulation of a cabin fire, truck accident involving <br />a propane disaster, and a tornado touchdown) to check the response of the hospital and <br />emergency squads in the west Hennepin area. Hun requested area neighbors be notified <br />of this event. <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />(#4) #1860 ZELMA MCKINNEY, 3599 LIVINGSTON AVENUE - STATUS <br />REPORT <br />Gayle Siegler, daughter of applicant, was present. <br />• <br />2 <br />
