MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 22, 2018 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />There were no public comments regarding this item. <br /> <br />Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6911, a Resolution for the <br />Collection of Delinquent 2018 General Accounts Receivable, Water and Sewer Utility Charges, <br />Recycling Program Fees, On-Site Sewage Treatment (Septic) Program, and Storm Water Charges. <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT <br /> <br />8. NO PARKING RESOLUTION FOR STUBBS BAY AND BAYSIDE ROADS – <br />RESOLUTION NO. 6912 <br /> <br />Edwards stated before the City Council tonight is a draft resolution for the posting of no boat trailer <br />parking on Stubbs Bay. The area identified is south of the Bederwood Park parking lot down to the <br />intersection of Bayside Road and then approximately 670 west of the intersection and 315 east of the <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Staff did reach out to the City’s sister agencies regarding this item. Hennepin County held their safety <br />committee meeting earlier today and discussed whether they will support this. It is Staff’s belief that they <br />will support it. If the resolution is approved tonight, a request will be submitted to the County to have it <br />posted. The other agency Staff coordinated with was the DNR because they co-own the Bederwood Park <br />parking lot with the City since it also services the Luce Line. The one stipulation of the DNR was that <br />they were in favor of posting the parking lot as long as the signs specifically said no boat trailer parking <br />rather than no trailer parking because there are some people who use trailers to transport bicycles to the <br />Luce Line. <br /> <br />Staff did send out letters to all the residents in the area and received one response, which was provided to <br />the City Council. If the City Council approves the request tonight, Staff would specify the locations of <br />the signs, but in general they have to be within 150 feet of each other and they need to be visible from one <br />sign to the next in order for the police department to enforce the no parking. <br /> <br />Walsh asked how this came about. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated it came about as a request from Council Member Seals based on conversations with <br />the neighbors. During the peak holidays in the summer, there were a number of vehicles and trailers <br />parking along that section of Stubbs Bay Road. Edwards stated what is likely happening is that people <br />will launch their boat at one of the other landings, find no parking, and because this dock is just to the <br />south of that intersection, they park in this area and then have their party pick them up with the boat. The <br />area noted with parked trailers was Stubbs Bay Road, but at the work session last month, the police chief <br />recommended that it be extended into the Bederwood Park parking lot. <br /> <br />Walsh noted the issue is that people with trailers are taking up all the parking in the area and then the <br />people who want to fish from the dock have no place to park. <br /> <br />Seals stated it is a pretty small parking area and that people who want to fish off the dock have no place to <br />park. The neighbors noted over the summer that usually the boat trailers are parked there the majority of
