fi <br />All <br />shopping for the people in Orono. <br />Why is Kelly Avenue shown as a through street? <br />I.D.S. would be willing to*go along with` most any- <br />thing that Orono would want regarding Kelly Avenue. <br />If a cul -de -sac were created, it would create access, <br />problems for the people on the north end of Kelly <br />Avenue. There is also a problem with emergency ve- <br />hicles, etc. <br />"'Have you taken into account the increase water flow <br />from this area if the shopping area was constructed? <br />It seems that the.City Engineer and the I.D.S. Engin- <br />eer should investigate this problem of run -off. <br />The Planning Commission has discussed their concern <br />regarding the drainage West 'into Lake Minnetonka and. <br />they have considered the possibility of rerouting <br />the flow east into the marsh on the other side of the <br />Fresh Water Biological Institute. 'If the water were <br />to flow as it does now, there is some question about <br />existing easements and the ability of the culvert to <br />handle the increased flow as-suggested by Mr. Lowe. <br />The Minnetonka Watershed District has the expertise to <br />review this portion of the application and their rec- <br />ommendation should be followed. <br />For 8 years, we have not had anything on the corner of <br />County Road 15 and 19. This is a shame. <br />I Five on Kelly Avenue, and I feel that it should be <br />.closed off because of the hazards that it poses to the <br />} children along the street. <br />`} What, is the estimated cost of -the project? <br />The overall projected cost for the shopping center <br />and the office building would be approximately $3,000,000. <br />I am;not against the shopping center, but has the Planning <br />Comm"ission'considered the increased cost of public services? <br />On a commercial project of this sort, the City of Orono <br />would come out ahead. <br />In his discussions with the Chief of Police, Jerry Ross, <br />,it was mentioned that this particular project might create <br />the need of one more policeman. <br />If this project were to create the need for Orono's own fire <br />department,'perhaps we'd be better off in the long run since <br />�s.. . "L, youdundoubtedly lead to lower insurance rates. Also *didn't <br />";•;> the city of Orono hire a policeman this past year just be- <br />cause of the residential growth in the City? <br />
