WAYZATA BOULEVARD (CSAR 112) PHASE 2 DESIGN APPROVAL —Continued Walsh noted Hennepin County talked about potentially giving Orono an additional $20,000 for landscaping for this area and that there will be a pond and additional buffer constructed. Frank Jawaky, 1020 Old Long Lake Road, noted the legal agreement would need to spell out who would assume legal liability if Orono gets the road but Long Lake is plowing it. Dankey moved, Seals seconded, to authorize the City Engineer to sign the Wayzata Boulevard (CSAH 112) Phase 2 Plan Set, with the recommendation that Option 4 with the bump -outs be chosen, with the understanding that Hennepin County will contribute another $20,000 for landscaping, and subject to Long Lake and Orono entering into an agreement that it would be an Orono public road that would be maintained and plowed by Long Lake, with the road being included in Long Lake's Pavement Management Fund, and with the understanding that Orono will have the road signed as a no outlet and posted no parking.

OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD (CSAH 112-CSAH 6) FEASIBILITY STUDY PROPOSAL Edwards reviewed his Staff memorandum dated July 24, 2017, regarding a feasibility study for Old Crystal Bay Road for possible road improvements in 2018. Funding will come out of the MSA Fund. Staff recommends the City Council authorize Bolton and Menk to commence development of a feasibility study for a fee not to exceed $24,900. Walsh noted the City discussed this road a number of years ago and that the feasibility study would help develop a longer term vision for the next 20 to 30 years to ensure Old Crystal Bay Road is set up correctly to handle the traffic from the schools. Walsh noted the School District hired SRF to perform a parking study to achieve better traffic circulation. Walsh noted the City receives state funds for this road, which will help pay for some of the improvements. Seals asked when the feasibility study would be completed by. Martini indicated this fall. Edwards stated once the feasibility study is completed, more detailed cost estimates can be done, and that the goal is to go out for bids in early spring. Walsh asked if Bolton and Menk will be able to get the engineering done in the late fall to allow it to go out for bid next spring. Martini indicated they will be able to complete that and that the City Council will need to authorize the survey work prior to winter. Martini stated once the survey work is complete, work can begin on the final plans so bids can be open early spring and construction started once school lets out. Seals asked when the recreational center will be done. Edwards stated they will be starting work this fall and completing it in 2018. Page 9
