MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, January 14, 2019 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 3 PUBLIC COMMENTS None PUBLIC HEARING 12. LA18-000101 – JAKE WILLE ON BEHALF OF RUSTY KOCON AND JACKIE GIBNEY, OWNERS, 3570 IVY PLACE – VACATION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT EASEMENT – RESOLUTION NO. 6937 Barnhart stated the applicant is requesting vacation of an existing Stormwater Management Easement which is being replaced with an identical easement in a new location. When the Ivy Place subdivision was platted in 2018, the developer was required to manage stormwater generated from the hard surfaces of the two lots. The developer elected to manage the stormwater via underground detention tanks to be installed at the time of home construction of each lot. This method was accepted by both the City and the Watershed District and will help to preserve the future tank sites. An easement was required to be recorded over the property. Following review by Staff of the building plans, it was discovered that the desired house for Lot 1 encroaches into the easement location, necessitating an adjustment to the easement. Staff supports the adjustment and recommends approval of the resolution as drafted. Printup asked whether this would have any impact on water runoff or water quality. Barnhart indicated it will not. Mayor Walsh opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6937, a Resolution Vacating Stormwater Management Easements Within Ivy Place Plat, File No. LA18-000101, for the Property Located at 3570 Ivy Place. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Johnson stated he had nothing to report. Crosby reported he attended the Long Lake Firefighters retirement gala over the weekend. Recently retired is Mark Warden, who served for 25 years, and Doug Johnson, who served for 10 years. Crosby stated both will be missed and the City of Orono is very grateful for everything they have done. Printup thanked his daughter Allison for attending tonight’s meeting and that he will be starting his 8th year on the City Council. Printup stated being on the City Council has had its challenges but it has been great getting to know the residents, city staff, and other Council members.
