MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — NOVEMBER 259 1991 ##1691 — CONT. Butler felt the citizens of Orono would be upset that they were providing for a shortcut from Highway 12 through the subdivision and onto Orono Orchard Road. Barrett asked Roos to comment on the suggested covenant language by the Planning Commission. Roos commented that Item 2C indicates more of a concern for the south property along Orono Oaks Drive. 'Mabusth noted that is correct. Roos questioned Item 6. Mabusth noted that buildable lots are described as pads until the final plat, at which time they will be noted as lots. Jabbour asked if any comments had been received from the City of Long Lake.regarding these covenants. Mabusth noted that the memo had been sent to the City Council but to date no comment had been received. Mabusth reiterated Council's position that the exception of the road should not be shown as an outlot with a future extension. Jabbour noted that the existing road can remain, but it cannot extend to any other development. Roos noted the City of Long Lake's intention to indicate this roadway as an outlot, to be held in reserve in case private access is needed under the tracks. He would need to discuss this issue with the City Attorney. Jabbour noted it could be added to the covenant that the roadway cannot serve any other development to provide through traffic. Roos noted it will serve the lift station. Butler recognized that, but indicated the intent would be to not allow through traffic under the railroad bridge through the development to Orono Orchard Road. Butler questioned the utility easement that cuts through the middle of Lot 1. Roos noted there is a forcemain located there now and they are working with the MWCC to see if that main can be relocated. Butler felt it would be an inhibitor for any future builder on that lot. 'She asked if there was a way to reconfigure the lots to avoid this. 5
