MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 23, 2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. 18. 2019 ROAD MAINTENANCE PLANNING AND ENGINEERING REPORT — Continued Cassandra Ordway, 1145 County Road 6, asked what the City is planning on doing to maintain that road in the interim. Ordway stated the road is pretty much impassable. Walsh stated the Council would like to come to a solution in the foreseeable future and that he would like to get the feedback of the neighbors on that road. Rief suggested a public hearing be held on that item. Ordway asked whether the residents on the east side are part of Wayzata. Rief indicated they are not and that the Lake Lydia area is Orono. Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to table the 2019 Road Maintenance Planning and Engineering Report. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. 19. OLD LONG LAKE ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT Edwards reported the City of Orono has received a right-of-way permit application from the developer for a curb cut connection for the Landings at Long Lake development to Old Long Lake Road. The permit application is for a driveway to serve four residences in Long Lake. The intersection in question is part of the Highway 112 turn back phase two project. The development is currently a one -lot property with three lots sharing a driveway. Currently there are two driveways that attach into Old Long Lake Road. As Old Long Lake Road is relocated to the east, the road will be completely located within Orono. As a result, the City will assume the responsibility to provide access to those properties. Development of that property comes into conflict with City ordinances which only allow up to two residences to share a driveway. That application was denied and the applicant was asked to resubmit a revised plan. The current proposal is for a 24 -foot private driveway that would service all seven of those properties. Edwards noted a condition of the right-of-way permit is that the development agreement include language establishing the maintenance responsibility for the private road/driveway as that of the development. Walsh noted there was a tentative agreement with the City of Long Lake to maintain a portion of the road, which has fallen through, and that what is now being proposed is a good solution. The property owners in that area will now not have to take care of the maintenance or plowing and that in his view it is a win-win solution. Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO., A Resolution Granting a Right -of - Way Permit with the conditions listed in the April 23, 2018, Staff report. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. Page 8 of 15
